Bloom Fitness Opens in Edmond

STORY BY LAURA NANCE

For as long as she can remember, Jen Bodin dreamed of her own fitness space, an environment to help people feel loved and celebrated, while meeting them where they are on their fitness journey. And that’s exactly what she’s done with Bloom Fitness. “When I am coaching people, whether with personal training or in a class, I am in my element. It’s not work, it’s helping others become the best version of themselves,” she said.

Jen discovered Pilates as a class at The University of Oklahoma and immediately fell in love with it, discovering how much it aided her mobility in other sports, such as running and weight training. “While we work the entire body while doing Pilates, all movements originate from a strong core and spine.”

Located in Stephenson Plaza in Edmond, 140 E. 5th, Suite 104, Bloom Fitness offers something for everyone, whether a beginner or a seasoned athlete. On any given week you can find group studio classes, private personal training, private Pilates sessions, and airbrush tanning.

Group classes at Bloom include:

• Shred, a high-intensity class using weights

• Power Pilates, an all-level mat Pilates class

• Bounce Pilates, where students alternate between bouncing on an individual sized trampoline and Pilates work on the mat

• Yoga: Vinyasa, Ashtanga and meditation

“We don’t use machines at Bloom, we use mats, weights, bands, circles, and blocks. Everyone that enters our space is welcome and all levels are accommodated.”

Jen is the mom of two boys, and it isn’t lost on her what they are learning from her love of fitness and entrepreneurial spirit. “What I hope they see is they can do whatever they put their mind to, that movement is key to happiness and joy, and that working hard instills the kind of strength they need to believe in themselves.”
