Workouts with Jessica are a perfect combination of challenging, educational, and fun. She knows her stuff and really figures out your body quickly and can gauge where you are and what you need to improve strength and tone. I've seen results in just a few sessions. She's so easy-going and flexible as well, I highly recommend Pilates Girl!

Best money I've spent in ages, Jessica Newshel is amazing. If you've considered Pilates or even done a class and not understood what all the fuss is about, this is the way to go. I went to Pilates Girl because I had an injury keeping me from my typical cross training classes, to check it out (skeptical of all the Pilates hype), and to learn what to focus on before trying a big class. I keep coming back to her over a year later! Game (and body) changer.

I have worked with Jessica for several years. At age 65 when I started Pilates with Jessica, my goals were to eliminate a bad back and improve my posture and balance. After working with Jessica my core vastly improved and I have not needed chiropractic treatment The sessions were challenging but rewarding. We did exercise routines to eliminate my tendency to stoop and I now stand straight. Today I can match my age in push ups and can easily navigate uneven sidewalks. I highly recommend Jessica as a caring, experienced Pilates instructor who will help you achieve your goals.

"I've been seeing Jessica once a week for over a year. I started Pilates because of a back injury and it’s honestly the only thing that has worked to manage my pain. Jessica is knowledgeable and can tailor a session to my body’s needs that day. She has a great sense of humor, is patient with beginners and knows how to push you without injury. It’s the only workout I never miss!"

"When I was pregnant with my first child I did a prenatal Pilates class in the city and loved it. Now that I'm in CT, and expecting #2, I wanted to do something similar. I couldn't find a class, but luckily stumbled across Jessica on Facebook. Working out with Jessica has been an amazing experience! She is super knowledgeable on all things Pilates (including what is and is not appropriate for pregnant women - which is not an easy task), made me feel so comfortable during the entire process, continued to cater the workouts to my growing belly and was totally flexible with my schedule (which is not an easy one). I can't wait to workout with her to get my body back into shape after my baby is born."

"Working with Jessica has been wonderful. From our very first session together, she understood my level and ability and has helped me focus on my goals and my target areas. She alternates what we do which creates a nice variety and keeps things fun. She always asks how I'm feeling and makes sure that I'm taking care of myself outside of our sessions. I highly recommend her as she is very professional and very committed to the world of Pilates."

"Jessica is awesome! She is professional, super flexible (schedule wise as well as agility). She works with my individual needs and keeps every session interesting, current and pushes me to do better. She also has a very sweet personality to boot! I've done private as well as duet sessions with her. Whatever your needs are, she can customize the workout for you and I love that about her."

"Jessica is a fantastic instructor! I had never attempted Pilates before and Jessica was very patient with me. I could see a real change in my abilities and strength from when I first started with Jessica. I would highly recommend her to people just starting out in Pilates to very advanced students - you can just tell that Jessica is great with all levels."
-Puja D.
"Though I'd worked out before, I was a complete neophyte to Pilates. Jessica explained things well, was very patient and made me feel very comfortable with Pilates. She is very in tune with how I was feeling on workout days and though her style is low key and casual, which I prefer, her workouts are rigorous and kick-ass. I was blissfully sore in all the right places and I've already gotten comments on my newer fitter self which was really exciting to hear."
- Andrea W.
"Working out with Jessica is great - she is a patient teacher and really helps to make sure you get the full benefits of every pilates exercise. She gives gentle guidance to demonstrate how slight adjustments in posture make a big difference in the impact of the movement."
- Stefanie F.
"Jessica is extremely dedicated to her clients and works with you to develop a regimen to address the areas that you want to work on and that you can use on your own. I had a back injury and she worked with me to build strength in my lower back while not exacerbating the injury. She is very enthusiastic and is a delight to be around. Jessica definitely delivers an effective workout that gives you results! I saw a real difference (and definition) in the first month of training."
- Wendy L.
"Jessica is an amazing instructor. I started with her right after having my second baby. I was extremely weak and I had pain as a result of the pregnancy. She was knowledgeable about postnatal precautions and my unique conditions. She got me back in shape and she managed to motivate and instruct a sleep deprived new mom while holding a crying newborn!"
- Jen G.
"Jessica was really able to explain where and how I should be feeling every exercise and she showed me how to make personal adjustments as needed. Even after our first session I could hear her teaching echoing in my ear as I went about my day."
- Lindsay W.
"Jessica Newshel is a wonderful and caring pilates instructor. She is in tune with her students' needs, and she is a diligent and thoughtful teacher. Whether you're looking for a workout that leaves you sore, or a workout that keeps you fit but is gentle enough on the joints, Jessica can provide it. I highly recommend Jessica as a pilates instructor." - Y. Yang
