Move more. Live better.
Jack's Philosopy
Jack Lanham began his study of Pilates in 2001. As an avid mountaineer, the benefits of Pilates conditioning were immediately apparent to him. Within months of beginning his training he experienced enhanced muscle recovery, and overall improvement in core stability while engaged in rigorous activities - Even carrying a 45-pound pack 14,000 feet up a mountain was easier!
Prior to teaching Pilates exercise, Jack was a professional Certified Personal Trainer with a background in organized athletics including, football, soccer, basketball, baseball and track & field. Having nearly a decade of professional training experience with clients ranging from elite athletes to exercise newbies, Jack has employed nearly every method of coaching and training techniques to help his clients reach their goals. It was not until discovering Pilates that he found a method to effectively improve the overall condition of every individual client.
Since receiving his certification from Romana's Pilates, Jack has focused his professional efforts exclusively on training clients in Pilates exercise. Jack's studies were conducted at Seattle Pilates International (completing 1,500 hours of student practice under master instruction), with his studies being finished in New York City at the renouned Drago's studio. Upon graduation Jack was hired as an instructor at Seattle Pilates International, and since then has also been a Pilates instructor at The Washington Athletic Club and The Seattle Athletic Club.
For Jack, learning never ends, and he continues his Pilates training with master instructors from across the United States including Joseph Pilates' proteges Jay Grimmes and Romana Kryzanowska, and Sari Meija Santo.
Studio Jacks was established in downtown Seattle as a place where Jack can provide individuals of all fitness levels with personalized Pilates instruction to meet their needs in a comfortable, professional, and focused environment. All instruction is provided by certified instructors and designed to meet the fitness goals of each client.
Jack believes everyone who moves more will live better! And he's honored to have the opportunity to help make a positive impact in people's lives whenever possible.
In addition to Pilates and mountaineering, Jack continues his studies in weight training and sports training applications. When not in the studio, Jack enjoys SCUBA diving adventures and spending time traveling and at home with his family in Seattle.
