Jami Jones
Jami’s Pilates journey began when she started having lower back pain in her early 20’s. She went to multiple doctors and sought out a variety of methods to alleviate the pain with no success. Her mom recommended that she try Pilates and soon after started to feel the positive changes in her body almost immediately after the first week. Jami first started teaching Pilates in 2010 at Paragon Jiu-Jitsu gym in Ventura, California. Working mostly with national and international Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes. Soon after she started teaching at local Pilates studios, George Erb Fitness Center and Physical Therapy in Ventura County. Her experience expanded from working with mostly athletes who cross train and work on injury prevention to rehabilitation focused. With over 10 years of practicing pilates and 9 years of Pilates teaching experience, she is accustomed to working with patients of all abilities and needs including professional athletes, injury prevention, physical therapy continuation sessions, rehabilitation, osteopenia, osteoporosis, equestrians, runners, golfers, scoliosis, and the list goes on. Over the years Jami has successfully taught all levels of pilates and including specialized sessions/classes for seniors, beginners, athletes using mat and several different apparatus including the reformer, reformer with jump board, cadillac, chair, bosu, trigger point ball, foam roller for myofascial release, TRX and spring board. For the last 7 years Jami has been working in the business consulting industry and decided in 2018 to pave her own path in consulting, by passionately activating successful systems for fitness businesses and franchises. This includes anything from assisting with instructor performance reviews, instructor and studio communications, recruiting, social media plans and implementation, one on one coaching with general managers and owners, sales and attrition analysis, etc. Jami has been involved in all aspects of the pilates industry and is super excited to continue her journey on the beautiful island of Oahu. She truly believes that Pilates is for every body and looks forward to tailoring sessions just for you.
