Lenore Denbin
Owner & NCPT-Certified Pilates Teacher
My desire to share my love of Pilates was born from its life-changing, transformative possibilities.
I began my Pilates journey in 1995 after the birth of my first son while searching to add another dimension to a traditional exercise routine and became an immediate devotee. I fell in love with Pilates in large part because of its focus on whole body conditioning that was different from anything I had tried before. Plus, I was always motivated and never bored, and continue to feel that way today. This led to the completion of a 750+ hour comprehensive certification program in 2006. Through the gift of teaching, my passion persists as I seek to move my clients to experience those feelings of joy and accomplishment — and exceed any obstacles.
As both a seasoned teacher and forever student of Pilates, I strongly believe in the importance of ongoing learning and practical experience so I can offer my clients valuable expertise. During my training, I unearthed a curiosity and fascination of anatomy and kinesiology — and continually feed that by pursuing greater knowledge of how Pilates can help the human body function at its best. I take great pleasure in expanding my scope of teaching by regular study with my primary teachers: Cara Reeser, Rebekah Rotstein, Madeline Black and Karen Carlson. They willingly share their gifts of vast knowledge and experience.
Through my extensive education and work, my client base has evolved to mainly encompass young adults and the over-40 population as well as serving as a teacher of teachers.
Lenore grew up on Long Island, received a BA in Journalism from New York University and worked as a special events planner for ESPN and as a corporate communications writer before beginning her Pilates journey. She lives with her husband and has two young adult sons who have inspired her in many ways. Outside of Pilates, Lenore is an avid reader, photographer and lover of Cape Cod.
“Pilates has truly changed my life! I started Pilates with Lenore years ago at the urging of a friend and have been practicing ever since. I always leave my session feeling so much stronger and more flexible than when I entered. Lenore tailors each session to my specific needs and uses a variety of equipment. She makes an ongoing effort to practice Pilates herself and stays current in her practice and knowledge. Lenore is such a kind and caring person and an extremely gifted and talented Pilates teacher.”
“Because of Lenore’s care and attention to detail, I am more pain-free and can feel my progress. We make the most of each lesson thanks to Lenore’s planning and focus. She is an amazing teacher.”
“Lenore possesses an incredible ability to maximize each work-out to help me feel strong and successful. Not only is she brilliant but her patience and positivity is exceptional. Outside of each session, she prepares targeted plans that have helped me reach a whole new level of my Pilates practice. I love working with Lenore!”
