Bare Mind Pilates

It’s only been a few classes so far with Jin and I can honestly say I’ve never felt stronger. She is the Stott Pilates hidden gem in Bowmanville! I feel so lucky to have come across her studio.I suffer from chronic lower back pain and my posterior chain does not fire properly. I’ve seen so many different health care professionals but nothing really worked to alleviate the pain. Jin was able to assess my weaknesses and imbalances from the first session. She really takes a holistic approach to identify the root cause of the pain. Every movement she guides you through is intense and controlled. She cues you through the proper breathing technique, rib cage positioning, hip movements. Honestly her cuing and instructions really allow you to target the muscle properly. My transverse is finally turning on. My glutes are getting activated. I love how she does mobility, strength, and stretch in every session. She really motivates and pushes you to achieve your goals.I always feel taller with amazing posture after seeing her.Looking forward to continuing to work with her and getting stronger and in balance. Stott Pilates coupled with the proper coaching from Jin has really made me confident to exercise again without back pain.

Jin offers challenging classes that give results! She’s reliable, warm, approachable, and knowledgeable. As someone who has struggled with back pain, I respect that form and safety were always a priority in Jin’s classes.

I have been doing private reformer Pilates with Jin twice a week for a few years now. She is a mandatory part of my long-term fitness and wellness plan. If you are looking for someone who is a STOTT certified, NASM certified + a corrective exercise specialist who is beyond knowledgeable about the human body and will hold you accountable then look no further! Every single session is tailored for your unique ability and goals. The creativity that Jin programs for each client is never the same, she offers a truly personalized training program. Whether you are seeking to look better, feel better, increase your mobility, gain strength or get back on track from an injury or fitness hiatus she does it all! I have NEVER been in better shape or obsessed with a workout regime as I am with Bare Mind Pilates.

This class is a perfect challenge for all fitness levels without being overwhelming or intimidating for new participants. The instructor Jin, offers subtle modifications for the members of the class as she moves about the room checking your form and giving redirection of even the smallest detail to help you get the greatest benefit from each movement. Jin’s knowledge of anatomy and deep understanding of Pilates permits each student to get the most out of the class.

I have been attending Jin’s reformer classes for a few months now, and they are amazing! She is very knowledgeable and her classes offer a hands on approach to ensure all exercises are done properly. If you have any injuries she is able to adjust the exercises too. It also helps that she is very sweet and always cheerful :) Thank you Jin!!!
