If you are recovering from an injury or surgery, and if you want to get in shape, START DOING PILATES WITH JENNIFER at Naples Pilates, Fitness & Therapeutics. You will not regret it. You will leave your sessions feeling stronger, more confident, and more capable.

My confidence was low after tearing ankle tendons and undergoing surgery to repair them. Experiencing an injury, managing pain, and losing mobility can be so demoralizing. After being in pain and being too limited to fully bear weight and move well, I thought exercising while lying down might be a good place to start. I liked how Jennifer's website described her approach, so I decided to work with her to start to put myself back together.

Jennifer met me where I was, both mentally and physically. She had the perfect balance of pushing me to do more, while understanding what I was capable of doing. She is truly committed to helping her clients. One session she said to me, "I was thinking of you last night and I want you to try this new exercise today" When I asked her, "you were thinking of me?", she replied, "I am always thinking about my clients". And she meant it.

That new exercise was SO HARD for me at first, because it really targeted my weakened ankle muscles - I was so impressed - it zeroed in on a very specific technique, the exact thing I needed to do to get stronger.

I grew to trust Jennifer, and I learned so much from her. I will always be grateful to her for her help during my transition from injury to recovery. I am looking forward to working with her again when I return to Naples next winter, and I hope anyone who reads this post also decides to work with her.

I have worked with Jennifer for the last few months and I look forward to my time with her every week! My workouts are challenging and rewarding, as she is always pushing me to be better while keeping safety and form at the forefront. She definitely won't let you slack, which I appreciate! My posture has improved, flexibility is back, and tackling previous injuries. I am so happy I found her when I moved to Naples!

Jennifer's knowledge is exceptional. Her training and understanding over has helped me recover from a complicated injury without setbacks or pain. I am so thankful that I began this journey into pilates with her and look forward to being a client for years to come.

I had a very, very good experience - which I dearly hope to repeat when I return to Naples. Jennifer has an excellent eye, which enables her to explain how to achieve proper form and execution. Her studio is serene, holding all the requisite equipment without crowding - and bonus! She has a very fun piece of balance equipment with a saddle that should help every equestrian perfect their seat.

I'd been looking for a good Pilates instructor and found one with Jennifer. She paid close attention to my strengths and weakness and now each session challenges and reinforces my needs. I highly recommend her!

5 stars for RESULTS! I'm thrilled with the increased strength, flexibility and muscle tone of my body since I started with Jennifer last summer. I've tried many different exercise routines over the last 6 years (weight training, boot camp, high intensity cardio, you name it!) and got nothing but injured and frustrated - while not losing a pound. Pilates, under Jennifer's excellent guidance in her beautiful (and immaculate) studio, has proven to be the answer for me to get these amazing results in spite of the limitations I have due to spinal stenosis and chronic back pain. I can't wait to see how much progress I make in year 2 - and neither can my husband!

I was new to Pilates when I went to Jennifer and she was so helpful with my back and sciatic pain. I would highly recommend her. She is very caring.

Jennifer is very accommodating to my physical limitations and is able to adapt specific Pilates programs to suit my specific needs. The studio is centrally located with a pleasant atmosphere and is extremely clean. I thoroughly enjoy my Pilates experience with Jennifer while strengthening my body and staying flexible.

As I've gotten older, and after several back surgeries, I've lost a lot of flexibility & balance. Jennifer has helped me greatly in both areas and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!

My first experience with Jennifer and her studio was over 5 years ago, after an extensive (and well executed) rotator cuff surgery (with Dr. Guerra). She asked me to get physician's approval before she would even consider coaching me. Wow!! Was I impressed! Got the approval - and then saw her studio, her equipment and witnessed how she interacted with clients (me). High integrity, discipline, no monkey-business. And her studio represents her - IMPECCABILITY! I started with her and have stayed for all these years. She listens deeply to what I have to say and to what my body has to say - and then she coaches appropriately. You couldn't ask for a better partner in this discipline. You couldn't ask for a better friend in your life.

As a new "snow bird" from Chicago, and having had some very tough shoulder surgery a few years ago, I needed to find a very good Pilates instructor in the Naples area. I was so afraid I wouldn't find someone as good as my hometown instructor, but am so pleased to have found Jennifer. She has exceeded all my tough expectations - she has all the right certifications, is a continuous learner of her craft, listens well, pays close attention, and has customized my sessions to help reach the goals I have set. On top of that, she has given me exercises and tips that have actually improved my golf game!

As a person who has always despised any type of exercise, I can honestly say I enjoy my pilates sessions with Jennifer Gerali! I have knee and hip issues and Jennifer is strengthening the muscles around my knees and hips. She is also keeping me moving in general; stretching and using muscles that I didn't even know I had! Since I have been seeing Jennifer, I'm standing straighter and engaging my core and I just feel better! When I decided to try Pilates and did an internet search, Jennifer's knowledge and experience is what first got my attention. After talking with her, I knew she was the one to whip me into shape! She listened!!!! Then she designed a program suited to my needs and abilities. If you don't want the ordinary, run of the mill pilates workout, I highly recommend Jennifer. Not only is she highly trained and knowledgeable, she is a personable, patient and caring individual.

I was recently referred to Jennifer Gerali at Pilates, Fitness and Therapeutics, Inc. for a post-surgical regiman. She has been so instrumental in my recovery and she is a delight to work with. My husband sought treatment as well for a golf injury, and is now golfing some of the best games he's ever had. We are both extremely grateful to Jennifer for getting us back in the shape we deserve to be.

At the recommendation of my doctor two and a half years ago, I started taking pilates at Pilates, Fitness & Therapeutics with Jennifer Gerali. Jennifer's quiet and peaceful studio is well equipped and immaculate.

As an instructor, she is exceptional, tailoring my sessions to my needs. The sessions are challenging and fun! My core is strong and I feel great!

Jennifer Gerali is a true professional and a wealth of knowledge. I call her my 'Clinical Pilates Instructor'.

I highly recommend Pilates, Fitness & Therapeutics and Jennifer Gerali.
