Jenna Rochel
Pilates, Group Fitness Instructor
Jenna Rochel
Pilates, Group Fitness Instructor
Jenna first fell in love with Pilates in March of 2021, after realizing that it was a sustainable low-impact, high-reward exercise that provided a full body and mind workout every time. She noticed the positive ways it was changing her body—not only from the outside, but also the way she felt on the inside. Above all else, Pilates helped her learn how to start listening to her body. Jenna has been fortunate enough to be able to turn her passion for Pilates into a thriving profession that makes her feel fulfilled inside and out. She completed a comprehensive 500-hour Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training, which includes Mat, Reformer, Chair, Cadillac, Springboard/Tower, Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel, TRX, BoSu and other props. Her favorite part of teaching is being able to help her students achieve things they thought they could “never” do. She also enjoys helping students feel seen, heard, and challenged to their fullest individual potential in any given class. Her goal is to get you to fall in love with Pilates and find ways to incorporate it in your daily life! At the club since 2023
