This app features Sheena Jongeneel, 2nd generation Romana Kryzanowska 1998

certified teacher, and founder of UpRise Classical Pilates and Wellness Center in

Santa Monica, California. Sheena is known for teaching the most challenging,

stimulating, and “get fit fast” classes. Sheena has worked with celebrities and high

end clients who need to get in shape quickly for film and television roles, with new

moms after having a baby, with children, and with all types of bodies who want to

get fit and feel well. Sheena had a baby a year and a half ago and understands first-

hand the need for a quick and effective workout regimen.

Sheena started Pilates in 1993 while completing a bachelor’s degree in Dance. She

then moved to NY to train alongside Romana in 1997. Expanding her passion for

whole body wellbeing, she also earned a master’s degree in acupuncture and

became a licensed acupuncture practitioner in 2007.

Sheena’s workouts specifically target the abs, glutes, and arm muscles

while keeping you in a cardiovascular state that is optimum for losing weight,

toning, and strengthening your body.
