About JLB Pilates
Your Why Is Our Mission
"You are only as young as your spine is flexible."
At JLB Pilates, we believe healing happens through movement. Using the Pilates Method, we work with your body as it is to help you grow stronger, healthier, and more resilient and flexible. Every body is different, and everybody can improve their health through movement.
We create a highly personalized Pilates program for every one of our clients. In your first session with us, we’ll complete a movement screening, discuss your current health and wellness goals, and talk about how Pilates will be able to help you heal through movement. Your why becomes our mission, and we’ll use a combination of private sessions and group classes to support your health journey with Pilates.

The 6 Core Principles of Pilates
The JLB Pilates Story
JLB Pilates founder Jen Bergren first fell in love with Pilates when she saw Mari Windsor on TV more than 25 years ago. She earned her personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and started working at a popular gym chain in the Twin Cities. Jen worked there as a personal trainer. While working there she began taking Pilates classes. It was at this time that she decided to go through the training and become a Pilates instructor herself. She was a Pilates instructor there for several years.
As an instructor, Jen saw firsthand how Pilates changed lives. She even experienced this transformation herself, witnessing how her Pilates practice improved her range of motion and recovery from injuries.
After a number of years working for the chain, Jen decided to open her own Pilates studio in Maple Grove. She wanted to serve people facing all different types of physical and health challenges and help them use Pilates to heal through movement. Today, JLB Pilates operates a 1,300 square-foot practice that features two studios for group classes as well as a separate studio for private sessions.
