Jenifer Zeno
Jenifer first began Pilates as a way to improve her tennis game and immediately fell in love with the way it changed her body and enriched her life.
Jenifer found that Pilates dramatically transforms the way your body looks, feels and performs. She also experienced the Pilates benefit of building strength without adding excess bulk, and its ability to create a sleek, toned body with slender thighs and a flat abdomen. Her love of Pilates and appreciation of movement led her to partner with Sheila Grace to found Demi-Bar Pilates.
