What if you could strengthen your body, improve flexibility, and burn fat without beating up your joints or spending hours in the gym?

In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Pilates & Yoga instructor Jenn Witaconis and Coach Lindsay Hurley to break down the rising popularity of Pilates Burn, which is a powerful fusion of Pilates, yoga, and resistance training that’s changing how women approach fitness.

Jenn shares how 15 years of hands-on experience led to the creation of a smarter, more effective method, one that blends strength, grace, and continuous movement into a low-impact, high-results workout. You’ll discover why so many women struggle with traditional routines, what causes beginners to quit too soon, and how this approach solves those problems.

The conversation dives into the unique method behind Pilates Burn (including the game-changing concept of Thermal Flow Sequencing), why small tools like ankle weights, a Pilates ball and mini bands deliver surprisingly big results, and how this style of training challenges your body in ways you may not expect.

You’ll also hear real-world insights from coaching and clients, what happens when people try this for the first time, why the workouts feel different (in a good way), and how consistency and not intensity is the true driver of lasting results.

Whether you’re new to fitness, getting back into a routine, or looking for a smarter way to train, this episode reveals how you can move better, feel stronger, and build a body that lasts.
