Yes. Pilates can help reduce knee, hip, and back pain by strengthening the muscles that support the joints and improving movement patterns. Many clients experience less discomfort when strength and mobility are improved together.

Private Pilates provides personalized instruction and faster progress compared to group classes. One-on-one sessions allow for customized programming, hands-on guidance, and targeted mobility work based on your specific needs.

Yes. Jo du Jour offers virtual Pilates and mobility coaching for clients who prefer online training or are located outside Austin. Virtual sessions include real-time instruction and customized programming.

Most clients see noticeable improvements within 4–6 weeks when attending sessions consistently. Frequency depends on your goals, but 1–3 sessions per week is common for steady progress.

In a few words, it depends. It depends on what your starting point looks like, what you currently do in your training routine/occupation, history of injuries/sports, and consistency with your mobility and strength sessions. I guarantee that you will see a reduction of tightness or pain in your first 4 weeks. Some of my clients have seen results in as little as 1 week!

Yes. Private Pilates sessions are ideal for beginners because instruction is personalized and paced according to your experience level. You do not need prior Pilates experience to start.

Yes! I provide personalized gym or at-home routines, depending on your preference. My goal as a trainer is to make a routine that works for you and that you enjoy!

Mobility training improves joint range of motion, flexibility, and control. It combines strength work with controlled stretching to help reduce stiffness, prevent injury, and improve overall movement quality.

No. While stretching focuses on flexibility, mobility training also strengthens the muscles around a joint to improve stability and long-term movement control.

Yes! In my opinion, mobility training is the BEST way to recover fully from any injury because we focus on all areas of the body that can be affected (often soo much more than just the injured site), which can cause immobility and ailments down the line. This enables you to come back faster and stronger than you were before! I have trained clients and myself in rehabbing from injuries. With my functional movement screening, we will get to the root of what is causing your pain. This will be discussed in your initial consultation. We begin by moving the pain-free joints, releasing muscle groups, and building strength through mobility training. This alone can cause a reduction in pain because often, the location of the pain is not the only afflicted area. With time, rest, and dedication to your training, mobility work can reverse joint-related injuries and pains.

It is nice to have resistance bands of various strengths, a yoga mat, dumbbells of choice, and a yoga block if you are working out from home. At the gym, resistance bands (light and strong) will be good, and we will use dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells. (I have also linked my Amazon storefront in the header as well as in the Programs tab for specific brands/items that I use!)

It can vary from feeling like a nice stretch to feeling like a rep of a strength exercise. If you are brand new to it, expect some things to feel more challenging at first as your body gets used to moving in a brand-new way. The muscles and the joints are active with end-range strength training and isometrics. But with repetition, the body picks it up quickly, and it will feel much more satisfying and fluid. If you are a veteran mover, expect your mobility to be challenged as you progress toward your movement-related goals. It can, however, make you sore at first so it is important to not overdo it.
