Meet the Team

Owner / Instructor

Jess is a San Diego native. She fell in love with group fitness in 2014 when she was first introduced to spin class. Over the next several years she was a client anywhere and everywhere she could go. She decided to take her love for working out, helping people, and group fitness and get certified. She became a Certified Pilates Instructor in February 2020. She dove into teaching headfirst and loved it. Late 2020, she made the move to Prescott Valley to be closer to her parents (Mary and Kevin) who retired here years ago.

She came with one purpose; to open a group fitness Pilates studio and bring the wonders of it to the people of the town. She believes Pilates and the reformer itself will give all the physical benefits anyone is looking for. Jess’ true passion, however, is bringing people together and watching them form not only support for each other during class but friendships outside the studio.

Jess is a bubbly, friendly, ball of energy and will bring everything she has to every class. Watch out, an open reformer during class is when she can get the most creative…but we all know “It’ll be fine!”

AKA Jess’ Parents

Kevin became a Certified Pilates Instructor in August 2021 (shortly after Jess opened the studio) and now teaches with her. They call him “The Drill Sargent.” He prides himself on driving the true fundamentals of every move to ensure the exercises are being done properly and no bad habits are formed. Needless to say, you WILL get a workout from him no matter what level.

Mary is this team’s backbone. She is the biggest supporter and cheerleader of everyone in the studio. She attends classes often and enjoys the benefits Pilates has given her.

Kelly is an Arizona native and considers Prescott Valley to be her home. She joined FreedomCore Pilates as a Founding Member in 2021 and immediately felt at ease with Jess and her teaching style. Reformer Pilates quickly became an integral part of her routine, and it was then that a tiny seed was planted. In 2024, Kelly became one of FreedomCore’s very own Teacher Training graduates! 

She favors an upbeat classroom over a silent one, so feel free to sing along to the music or laugh through the burn during your workout! She believes that moving your body should be enjoyable and can serve as a great outlet after a hard day. FreedomCore Pilates is a place of solace to her and many more!

Kelly is dedicated to continuing her Pilates education and growing as an instructor. She is optimistic about fitness and loves to share stories of struggles and success. As a new instructor she wants every client to feel safe and build confidence, so feedback is always welcome.

Vanessa is originally from Los Angeles, raised in Surprise, AZ. Her and her husband made the move to Prescott Valley a couple of years ago when they absolutely fell in love with the town and its people. Vanessa fell in love with Pilates after taking ONE (yes ONE) class, and that was all she needed to know she wanted to be an instructor; she signed up for the instructor training program later that same week! Five hundred hours and about a year later, she became certified in November 2024! 

Vanessa is a coffee addict, and during her time away from the studio, you can probably find her at a coffee shop or spending time with her two dogs and cat! She loves a fun, upbeat group and brings all the good vibes and hype playlist to every class! Vanessa has enjoyed all the life changing benefits of not only Pilates but also building a community within the studio, it is her absolute pleasure to watch her clients reap those benefits while growing in strength and confidence along the way! 

Jacqueline's passion is education. She loves sharing her knowledge with others, empowering them with tools to be successful in whatever goals they are working toward. A lifelong learner herself, she became a 500-level certified Pilates instructor and a 200-level Yoga instructor December 2024. She has worked in healthcare over fifteen years and education over eight years. Life is a journey, and part of that journey includes our health goals. She is excited to assist clients with their health and wellness journeys, as she continues to improve her own.
