About Us
Health is Harmony of Body, Mind, and Spirit...
Pilates on Main is about building health through whole body harmony. Just like our ancestors who settled in Appalachia hundreds of years ago, we know that only persistent work can keep deep roots strong and that true growth comes from lifting up those around you. Pilates on Main had its foundations forged long ago in the hills of Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia. While our practices are grounded in tradition, we embrace modern wellness methods and strive to be better, brighter, and more whole every day.

Their unique approach to whole body health is all about balance and harmony. To be truly "healthy" your mind should be clear, your body should be flexible, and your spirit should be at peace.
Their goal is to lead you to your own healthy harmony.

Hello! I'm Jamison and I've always been a health and fitness enthusiast! For me, I've found a direct connection between my personal growth and development, and my commitment to fitness and flexibility training. I discovered Pilates around 2018 and immediately found it to be a brilliant mechanism for cross-training to increase strength, stability, and flexibility. At the time, I was already an avid runner, was training regularly in the gym, and I was competing as a Professional Bodybuilder. Throughout my fitness journey, I've enjoyed diversifying my activities by incorporating various forms of strength training and Pilates, and I've had the great fortune to have trained with some of the world’s top-rated personal trainers.
In 2019, it was recommended that I start physical therapy to rehabilitate my lower back and relieve some ongoing discomfort I was experiencing. Instead, I choose to return and commit to my own Pilates practice. The results were astounding! I felt increased lower back strength and flexibility and improved abdominal strength all through Pilates. These results motivated me to become an instructor and help experience what Pilates can do for their overall strength and health.
Meet Jaclyn
Pilates Instructor; Holistic/Natural Wellness Educator
+ 10 years as a Pilates Instructor with specialized training in Neurological - Pre & Post Natal - Pre & Post Rehab -
Proper Biomechanics to strengthen & condition you from head to toe, relieve your chronic pain, increase your balance & flexibility, and restore your mind and body.
Hello all! I'm Jaclyn and I began my Pilates & Holistic Health Journey more than a decade ago after a lifetime of chronic illness - cheer & dance injuries - automobile accidents that left my body broken, sick with multiple auto-immune conditions,
and with zero strength or energy at the young age of 36.
I tried all of today's modern modalities of rehab treatments and medical options only to have my symptoms & pain levels return and some increase. Something in me inherently knew there had to be a better way and by the grace of God, Pilates & Natural Healing Therapies almost literally fell into my lap in 2013.
I remember my first Pilates Class way back in September of that year as if it were yesterday. I wanted to cry, I could barely
lift my head off the mat, and after my second class (yes, I went back for more) I walked away pain free for the first time
in over a decade! I knew then that "everyone needs to be doing Pilates!"
I began my training at one of the most renowned, heavily PT & Functional Fitness based Teacher Training facilities in Pittsburgh, and haven't stopped learning - teaching - helping others heal and regain control over their bodies since.
​
I've committed every day of my life since then to EMPOWERING & INSPIRING others to be & feel the best they possibly can because it is the most important gift we will ever give ourselves & those around us. We only have one body, one life,
and there are no do-overs. But we can make positive changes to improve our current health & well-being and ensure that the rest of our days here on this beautiful and wondrous planet are (mostly) great days!!
​
As we have the pleasure of growing older, our bodies' needs change drastically with regards to physical training - nutrition - hormonal support - and recovery/rest phases.
Having the skills and knowledge to incorporate both Functional Fitness and Holistic/Natural Lifestyle Strategies into my work with clients like you, enables me to provide you with simple, lasting, lifelong changes that will ensure you are able to live life on your terms - fully in control of your body - for all the days of your life.
​
I am honored and grateful that God placed these gifts and this passion for helping others in my heart, and I look forward to locking arms with you and helping you reach every fitness & health goal you can possibly dream of!
