“You may think that Pilates is just for women, but you would be wrong! It is challenging. It presents poses for even the most dedicated gym rats and yoga practitioners.
Jost is phenomenal teacher. He adjusts his comments to each person in the class. He offers both praise and constructive criticism.
As a senior citizen who has been practicing both yoga and Pilates and working out at Premier for the past twenty-five years, I would highly recommend Jost’s Pilates classes to anyone who is looking to improve breathing, flexibility and balance.

“These classes have changed my body and my life. I’m stronger and much more aware of how I move through space. Though I still feel like a beginner, the practice was vital to my well-being while on a long backpacking trip recently. A ‘little’ effort goes a long way!
Jost is an experienced, insightful and skilled teacher who meets each person right where they are. Don’t miss this rare and excellent opportunity to work with a master.”

“I’ve tried a variety of fitness classes—yoga, spin, strength training, boxing, dance, and personal training—but none have transformed my well-being like Pilates Elementals with Jost. His unique blend of Pilates, yoga, and energy work has given me the best work out of my life. At sixty years old, I’m feeling revitalized and stronger than ever. Highly recommend!”
