Jen Montes

Pilates Instructor

I bring over 20 years of experience in fitness and holistic wellness to the Club. My journey began as a yoga instructor with Club Med in Mexico, evolving into a career encompassing personal training and, most recently, Pilates, which I have passionately taught for 6 years.

Training Philosophy:

I thrive on the critical thinking involved in helping others connect with their movement practices. I find teaching to be profoundly fulfilling as it allows me to safely guide individuals towards a deeper awareness of their bodies' functionality.
