About Us
Making Pilates more accessible, affordable and more practiced.
Pilates with Janelle was officially founded in 2023, originally situated in the Garden Studio of Gasworks Arts Park, Albert Park. The vision of Pilates with Janelle is to allow for more people to experience the transformational effects of Pilates, by making classes more affordable for all. The business aims to bring these weekly group classes to the selected neighbourhood hubs with less access to Pilates; deliver free online Pilates workout videos and provide the option of Private 1:1 to 1:4 classes to clients who seek more accountability and full attention, in the comfort of their homes.
Founder
Janelle Yung Huey Tan
Janelle is a certified Mat Pilates instructor, dance teacher, performer and the founder of Pilates with Janelle.
In 2020, Janelle started her Mat Pilates journey during her tertiary education in Bachelor of Fine Arts (Dance), under the Victorian College of the Arts. She found confidence in the Mat Pilates as a “constant” (especially during the pandemic) and a practice that allows the body to go further. She found a deep passion in helping people understand their own bodies better, therefore able to utilise specific keys to allow for smarter, safer and sustainable way of exercising. This was partnered by her deep interest in Anatomy, which led to the undertaking of the Anatomy and Mat Pilates certification with Studio Pilates International in 2022.
Janelle has since then instructed many people in group and individual setting, both officially and voluntary - and seen many improve their postural alignment and develop their own interest in the area of Pilates.
