OUR STORY

PeloDog founder Jen is psyched to share the welcoming, positive and motivating energy that embodies her vision in creating PeloDog with South Lake Tahoe!!

Jen created PeloDog as a boutique Pilates and indoor cycling studio with a high-end, yet laid-back vibe.  Her goal is simple - to offer a welcoming and non-intimidating space where every body can achieve their fitness goals, whether it be crossing a triathlon finish line, golfing 18 holes pain-free, or simply staying fit, strong and pain-free with a busy life.  At PeloDog, we are committed to delivering a top-notch experience in every regard - sleek studio design and positive vibes, top-of-the-line Pilates equipment and bikes, and the most highly-trained and charismatic instructors in the industry.    

Jen is a nationally known instructor, and has been a studio owner for over a decade.  Her life's passion is helping people cultivate vitality, and simply feel great through movement.  Jen founded the original PeloDog in the Vail Valley, CO, where she spent 8 years.  A northern California native, Jen is thrilled to relocate the studio to SLT to be close to her family and roots.  

The name "PeloDog" is inspired by Miller, Jen's beloved Golden Retriever and long-time studio dog who crossed the rainbow bridge, but will always be with us in spirit. Miller’s activity centered around play, happiness and fun, and he was always welcoming and non-judgmental.  These are core PeloDog values that we fully embrace at the studio... and in our lives!
