About MJ Pilates
A Journey of Movement, Mastery, and Meaning
MJ Pilates is a sanctuary where strength, balance, and authentic movement are restored with intention and care.
Hello, I’m Meehee Jung (MJ), the founder of MJ Pilates.
I am a certified Classical and Contemporary Pilates instructor, dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their body’s innate potential and resilience.
My journey in movement began at the age of nine through ballet, contemporary dance, and traditional Korean dance.
Years of training, performing, and teaching shaped a deep understanding of the human body — its structure, its possibilities, and its needs.
Life later led me down unexpected paths.
After marriage, I pursued a degree in Computer Systems Engineering and transitioned into the corporate world.
However, sitting behind a desk gradually took a toll on my body and vitality.
Chronic pain became a quiet reminder that movement was not just a passion, but an essential part of who I am.
In search of healing, I explored various disciplines — even earning a black belt in Taekwondo with my family.
Yet it was Pilates that offered the restoration I had been seeking.
From my very first session, I knew:
“This is what I am meant to do.”
I immersed myself in the Classical Pilates Method, studying extensively under the lineage of Jay Grimes, a first-generation teacher trained directly by Joseph Pilates.
Through over 1,000 hours of classical education and an additional 600 hours of contemporary training, I developed a comprehensive and adaptive understanding of the method.
Throughout my two decades of teaching, I have worked with a wide range of clients — from athletes and performers to individuals recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions.
My approach is rooted in precision, compassion, and empowerment.
Pilates, to me, is not about chasing perfection; it is about reclaiming your natural strength, balance, and freedom of movement for a lifetime.
Today, I teach from my private home studio in Frisco, Texas, where each session is thoughtfully crafted to meet you where you are — and guide you toward where you wish to be.
This studio reflects my own journey toward balance — a space where professional excellence and personal connection thrive together.
At MJ Pilates, you will experience the Classical Method as it was originally intended — simple yet powerful, challenging yet healing, disciplined yet deeply freeing.
Pilates transformed the course of my life, and it is my greatest joy and privilege to share its transformative power with you.
Wherever you are in your journey — whether you are beginning, healing, or advancing —
I am here to walk alongside you with expertise, authenticity, and care.
Together, we will build a body and a life that moves with strength, grace, and purpose.
