ASHLEY JAHNER

DEFINE Pilates has a fierce and fit following thanks to Ashley Jahner.

Everyone needs a place to grow and challenge themselves and, for Scottsdale’s fitness enthusiasts, that place is DEFINE Pilates, founded by Ashley Jahner.

After eight years as a Pilates instructor, Jahner felt Scottsdale was in dire need of a studio that would feature experienced instructors, a welcoming atmosphere, and an undeniable sense of style. “I worked at some exceptional places teaching, but knew I wanted more, more for my team, myself and most importantly, my clients,” says Jahner. “ A studio that was pristine, inviting and produced results so that the clients never felt forgotten.”

From her vision, and after having her second baby, Jahner decided it was time to open her own studio where every body is embraced to become the very best, both physically and mentally. DEFINE Pilates was born in 2022. “We pride ourselves in providing a luxurious studio where everyone can come for a challenging workout while cultivating friendships with those who share their same interests,” Jahner says. “We work with you on your fitness goals so that your ‘why’ is never forgotten.”

Her client-focused approach is what distinguishes DEFINE Pilates from other studios in the valley. Regardless of your fitness level, Jahner and her team offer a diverse range of workouts that sculpt, elongate, and strengthen both the mind and body. The skilled instructors lead the 50-minute classes that utilize equipment and props to elevate your practice while focusing on form by using slow controlled movement to target muscles you never knew existed!

In 2023, Jahner is working to obtain her certification in nutrition and coaching, enhancing her members’ experience and equipping them with every resource available to achieve their fitness and health goals.

Her desire for constant improvement stems from a background in post-operative care in plastic surgery. After working alongside some of the top professionals in the Scottsdale area for more than six years, Jahner left her scrubs behind, searching for a way to continue helping others and create a better work-life balance.

DEFINE Pilates provided that for her, and she now enjoys more time with her husband, Michael, and her two lovely little girls. While Jahner refers to being a mother as the most challenging job, she also cites it as the most fulfilling, and makes it her mission to show her daughters that you can be a mother, wife, friend, and business owner. If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

It’s that unwavering dedication that Jahner brings into each session at DEFINE Pilates. If you are seeking an exceptional experience, DEFINE Pilates is the studio for you. “We truly have the best clientele and the best group of instructors,” Jahner says. “Coming to DEFINE doesn’t feel like a job, it truly is my happy place.”
