About Us

Meet James Dorfer, the big kid at heart who's been dubbed the "Joe Jr.", "Wizard", "Nerd", and his personal favorite, "Sargent" of the Pilates world. Based in sunny Cathedral City, California, James is an anatomy geek with a passion for fitness, body awareness, and self-care. He's a former professional dancer and musician, and he brings all the rhythm, grace, and discipline from those worlds into his Pilates studio.

James's classes are a blend of modern Pilates, thoughtful movement, and a whole lot of fun. He's a firm believer in tailoring each session to his clients' fitness goals, all while ensuring they learn valuable concepts about movement and posture. Whether if you are an athlete or someone learning how to move pain free, His diverse background and deep anatomical knowledge enhance every session, making sure you get the most out of your Pilates practice.

But don't be fooled by his extensive experience and knowledge. James's classes are far from dry lectures on anatomy. Instead, they're vibrant, energetic, and engaging. You'll leave each session feeling worked, invigorated, and maybe even a little sore (in a good way, of course) for the next couple of days... or six!

When he's not in the studio, you can find James spiking a volleyball, mastering the art of pickleball, or busting a move on the dance floor. His love for these sports seeps into his teaching style, making each Pilates session feel like a game set match of fun and fitness.

So come on in, get ready to work it out, and most importantly, have fun! James can't wait to welcome you to his Pilates playground lab.
