I could write pages and pages about how wonderful Jenn and her studio JP Pilates is, but I think I the reader may not believe me. I cannot more wholeheartedly recommend Jenn as an instructor and her growing and thriving studio as a vibrant part of the Charlestown community, and a very important place for me! I started seeing Jenn after last doing Pilates in 2000, and I was about 3 months away from having a major ankle reconstruction surgery. Since I was cleared to do Pilates 4 months after surgery (two years ago), I have consistently been attending 2-4 sessions a week (inside, outside, private, semi-private, and group classes) and I am so much stronger and active than I have been in decades. I tried another studio while I was on vacation away from Charlestown, and it only reinforced how fortunate we are to have Jenn/JP Pilates (I will be using Jenn's videos when I am traveling from now on). Thank you Jenn!

Going to JPPilates is always the highlight of my week!! The studio itself is beautiful & so calming, but what makes it truly special is Jen! She radiates positive energy and cares about every single person that walks through her doors. Her classes are challenging but make you feel so strong afterwards! Hands down the best studio and Pilates teacher in Boston!

Jenn is 100% responsible for bringing my core strength back to life! Her classes have the perfect combination of high energy (so you push yourself further than you think you can) and calm kindness (keeps you feeling engaged and centered). The days I take her classes, I am a happier and more productive human being. Can’t recommend JPP enough!

My introduction to JPP Pilates was through a Friday morning outdoor Fusion class, and I was immediately hooked! Jenn is an amazing instructor who offers judgment-free personalized attention whether the class has 6 or 60 attendees (outdoor only). Mat-based Pilates Flow, Fusion, and Sculpt classes are challenging yet manageable and deeply satisfying. Alternatives are always provided to ensure newbies and seasoned veterans get the workouts we need. Treat yourself to an indoor class (in a jewel box of a studio), a seasonal outdoor class, or a web-based on-demand class--you’ll be glad you joined one of the most welcoming communities in the Boston area! My only regret is not learning about JPP Pilates sooner. Jenn is truly one of the best instructors available!

I found JP Pilates two years ago as a new mom looking to strengthen my core, flexibility, better connect to my body, and overall try something new. From my first private session, Jenn made me feel welcomed and supported. She’s an expert instructor who creates a non-judgmental space, listens to your body, and even rocked my baby when I had to bring him along!

Jenn’s group flow and fusion classes (in-studio or at the Bunker Hill monument) are energizing yet peaceful, and they complement my other workouts (running/crossfit) perfectly, but they also truly stand on their own too! Jenn has also built a wonderful community in our little Boston neighborhood connecting me with other moms and businesses in Charlestown. JP Pilates is a weekly highlight for me. Being a lifelong athlete I can truly say Jenn is truly special and I highly recommend any of her classes.

Jenn is amazing! Going to her classes each week are the highlight to my week! She is so great at working with you wherever you are at in your workout journey! I've gone to her classes from being freshly postpartum to currently being pregnant and have been challenged each step of the way! I always feel so accomplished when leaving every class whether it's stroller boot camp with my little one or a group session!

Taking a Jenn Phelan class is the best decision you can make for your health and well-being! What sets Jenn apart is her unwavering commitment to going above and beyond for her students. Whether it's offering advice on form, staying after class to answer questions, or providing encouragement during challenging moments, her support is both heartfelt and inspiring. She fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment that makes every class feel like a special experience. The sense of community that Jenn has created is palpable. If you're looking for a class where the instructor's expertise, dedication, and sense of community shine through in every class, look further than JPP Pilates!

I have been taking classes with Jenn since 2015 and can't recommend them enough! Jenn has great energy and music that matches each section of her workouts. She teaches a unique combination of classic pilates with cardio bursts that is one of my favorite workouts. Her studio is welcoming for everyone and her outdoor classes, both pilates and stroller bootcamp, are so much fun. Try a class! You will love it!

I am almost hesitant to write a review because I don’t want the rest of Boston knowing about this best kept pilates secret!! Jenn is a one-of-a-kind pilates instructor who cares so deeply for her clients and her practice. She is friendly, kind and you can really see how pilates is her passion and her range of knowledge. Her class is for all levels with options to modify or take the intensity up a notch. One of my favorite things about her class is the intimate setting (6-9 people per class) as it provides the opportunity to get one-on-one adjustments/feedback from Jenn and feel like she really cares, verses being just a number in some other larger group fitness classes. Charlestown is so lucky to have Jenn and JPPilates in our neighborhood!

I can’t recommend Jenn, the owner of JPP Pilates, enough! Whether you’re attending a class outdoors at the Bunker Hill Monument or stepping into her intimate studio, Jenn creates a warm and welcoming environment that feels just like home. It doesn't matter if it's your first time or your 1000th, she makes everyone feel included and comfortable. Her classes are the perfect blend of thoughtful, fun, and challenging, with a focus on meeting each individual where they are. You’ll not only get an incredible workout but also the opportunity to connect with both new faces and old friends. Jenn truly knows how to instruct to every body that shows up, making every session feel special and personalized. Don’t miss out on this amazing Pilates experience!

From the moment you step into Jenn’s studio, you can feel the energy and warmth she brings to every session. Jenn's leadership is truly exceptional—she has the ability to make each individual feel seen and supported, no matter their skill level or what’s going on with your body.

Her attention to detail in every movement ensures that each exercise is not only effective but also safe (she made adaptations for me throughout my whole pregnancy!), and her encouragement throughout keeps you motivated. Her small studio size also brings a more personalized community feel than most city studios.

Jenn’s passion for Pilates shines through in every class, and it’s clear that she cares deeply about her students’ well-being, both physically and mentally. Whether you're seasoned at mat Pilates or a beginner, Jenn’s class will leave you feeling stronger, more centered, and inspired. If you have the chance to attend her class, do it—you won’t regret it!

Jenn is seriously one of the best instructors. I just recently started going to Pilates and she has made learning this new skill so easy. She’s very hands on and extremely motivating. I look forward to attending one (or more) of her classes in a given week! If you haven’t attended one of her classes yet I highly recommend!

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or trying Pilates for the first time, you will LOVE Jenn’s classes…there is a reason she has a cult following 🙂.

JPPilates has been my favorite workout for the last 15+ years. Jen’s energy, attention to form, and extremely difficult but fun classes always keep me coming back. Whether it be basic mat flow, hi intensity boot camp, or the mom and child classes- you cannot go wrong and I cannot speak highly enough about JPP.

Whether outside at the Bunker Hill Monument or in a group class or semi-private in Jenn's cozy studio, Jenn Phelan Pilates is hands down the best Pilates class around. She is a talented and motivating teacher who pushes you when she knows you can do more and respects you when you recognize a need in your body on a given day to do less. And she does it all with a smile and a fantastic sense of humor. Highly recommend!

JPP isn’t just a class, it’s an experience. Classes are challenging and rewarding, often tailored to the season, the students, the time of day, etc. I’ve always left feeling physically and mentally stronger & more centered. It’s a community and a practice unlike any other. Cannot recommend Jenn & her studio enough!

I have taken pilates classes for over 15 years at many different gyms/studios. I never felt more supported, appreciated and always challenged by an instructor as I do with Jenn. She truly loves what she does and has created a wonderful pilates community in this little “town”. I leave every class happy I came, invigorated (sweaty) and always wanting another! If you are new to pilates- Jenn is warm, welcoming and somehow makes even the most challenging movements approachable to anyone.

I cannot recommend JPPilates enough. I found Jenn during the pandemic online, and I am so happy I did. I had done yoga a lot but never tried mat Pilates before my mid-30s. I LOVE how accessible Jenn makes her workouts. I always feel better after taking a class. 😀

Jenn is the most incredible fitness instructor I’ve ever taken classes with. Between her deep knowledge of her craft, warm and welcoming studio, and the challenge of her classes, I can’t recommend her studio enough. She seems to be put on this earth to do exactly this job, and it radiates through her and her classes. JPP Studio is really something special.

Such a great workout! I am 51 (yikes) and am both challenged and comfortable at every class. This is my favorite class since boxing when I was 30! I am building strength with every class, I can tell. Not to mention my teenage athletic daughter has joined me in class and had her own amazing workout. Thanks JP!

Jennifer and her pilates method have been my go-to favorite workout method since I discovered her class right after having my first baby.

I’ve been to Jennifer’s sunset Pilates at the Navy Yard and loved it!! Jen is such an encouraging and confident instructor and made me feel so comfortable while also so empowered.

When I had my daughter in 2019, Jenn’s baby bootcamp was a highlight of maternity leave. In 2020, her outdoor classes at the monument were a Godsend. Since opening her studio in Charlestown, Jenn continues to foster a sense of community and connection. Her classes are hard but FUN. Jenn’s an incredible Pilates instructor who motivates and challenges anyone who joins her in class.

As a guy, Pilates was not at the top of my list of things to try. That said, my wife convinced me to try coming to a class with Jenn, and I've been hooked ever since!

Jenn is a great teacher, and has made me feel completely comfortable (even when I am the only guy there). I have never loved working out, but I actually really enjoy the rhythm and flow of Pilates, and I have definitely gotten a lot stronger (and more flexible!) since I started.

TLDR: Jenn is the best, and more dudes should try Pilates

Jenn's classes are amazing. I've always been a runner and athlete, but I've always been bad at consistently doing arms and core work and any kind of strength training. I've never been someone to regularly go to workout classes. Jenn's classes have changed that. Two years later, I'm hooked.

I feel stronger now than I ever have and it's helped my running and staying injury free. I highly recommend her classes!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Jen and her classes! I started taking her outdoor stroller boot camps during my maternity leave and would often sneak out of work just to catch them once I went back!

Jenn is incredible. She (and her space) is warm and welcoming. She tailors workouts to her clients and truly knows our needs. Her ability to pivot based on her clients is incredible; her repertoire is extremely broad. She’s a true expert. I am extremely lucky to work with her; to know her as my trainer, fellow mother, and community leader. Jenn is the best. Run, don’t walk toward anything and everything she is doing outside at the monument, in her beautiful studio, and online.

RUN don't walk to sign up for classes with Jenn - she has quite literally changed my life through the power of Pilates!!!

Jenn is an incredible teacher who has pushed me to be in the best shape of my life. As a former athlete, I've always found it rather difficult to feel like I fit into a style of fitness I truly not only enjoy but see results from. That all changed after my first few classes with Jenn. I feel toned, strong and confident now that I've been taking classes in studio as well as online. My fiance and I are getting married this year and there is nothing better than feeling our best as we enter wedding season and I can tell you that Jenn has really gotten us into incredible shape.

If you're intimidated by pilates please try out a class with Jenn. As someone who had never done it before, she made me feel so comfortable trying out a workout that I thought I'd never be able to feel confident doing! ALSO an outdoor class in the spring/summer/fall is a MUST do and moms check out her stroller bootcamps!!!!!

Jenn is such an incredible builder of community and I was thrilled when she opened her studio. She offers small group classes, semi-privates, and private classes. She gives the best workout while also being an enjoyable person who feels like your best friend. Her outdoor stroller bootcamps are a life saver when you have a little one. Highly recommend.
