More About Coach Jack
I hold certifications in Pilates, GYROTONIC® Kundalini yoga, Power Vinyasa Yoga, and Healing Tao Qigong. I have over 20 years of teaching experience in the field of mind-body fitness. Jack has taught Pilates, GYROTONIC®, Yoga, and Qigong in Portland, Oregon since 2005. Jack directed the Healing Arts program at Maya Tulum Retreat Center in Tulum, Mexico and managed the Mind Body Spirit program at Santa Clarita Athletic Club in Los Angeles, California. He has taught at numerous athletic clubs, including the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and the Multnomah Atheltic Club, as well as retreat centers, and studios throughout Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest. His experience as teacher and practitioner of Pilates, GYROTONIC®, Yoga, and Qigong have cultivated in him a deep recognition of the role of vital energy, called "prana" or "Qi", in promoting long term health and vitality. In addition to the many practical benefits of all of the systems he teaches, it is this deeper awareness that he seeks to assist others in recognizing and enhancing through his teaching.
My motivation for the exercise and fitness methods that I practice and teach are focused on creating the healthiest, most vital, and pain free functionality as possible for the long term. I specialize in working with 45 + year old adults who are recovering from injury, or interested in preventing injury, and those who simply want to become as strong, mobile, and physically functional as possible. My business motto is, "Intelligent exercise, therapeutic fitness". The training modalities that I specialize in emphasize excellent form, a profoundly deep core connection, and an integration of many muscle groups. I enjoy working with people who are less into fitness for the "harder, faster, more" approach and more interested in the "wow my body feels amazing" outcome.
Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and Functional Training; exercise methods to support a lifetime of mobility, strength, and ease of movement. Let's keep you out of doctors office and out in the world doing the things you love to do for as long as possible.

Client Reviews
Chris Ortolano (Testimonial)
Vital Body Studio provided me with a therapeutic fitness plan of Pilates and GYROTONIC® training after a bicycle accident curtailed my ability to ride, ski, and kayak. After the accident, I lost all core strength and even my balance was affected. I found Pilates and GYROTONIC® very beneficial for restoring my core strength and confidence even though I was I weak and in pain. Both Jack and DeeAnn know how to modify their approach to make Pilates and GYROTONIC® accessible to someone recovering from an injury. Thanks to Vital Body, I now have the ability to get back on my bike, on my skis, and into the water again". ~ Chris Ortolano
Sharon Buhlinger (Testimonial)
After several years of on-and-off visits to the chiropractor for neck, shoulder and low back pain, I decided I needed a new approach and tried private pilates sessions with Jack at Vital Body Studio. Jack started me with a therapeutic Pilates training program, working on core strength and flexibility. I was amazed at the progress I was able to make! I just turned 50 and feel that I have never been more strong and flexible in my life. I am amazed at how responsive the human body can be to a gentle nudge in the right direction and would recommend pilates (and Jack's studio) wholeheartedly to anyone." ~ Sharon Buhlinger
~ Dr. Myles and Emily Standish (Testimonial)
In our two years of Pilates training with Jack at Vital Body Studio, we have both seen -- and felt -- dramatic changes in the way we look, feel, and go about our daily life. It's all about the CORE: in our work and hobbies we are now conscious of maintaining strength and alignment the right way. For our middle-aged bodies, Pilates is the best thing we've found!
