WESLEY CHAPEL – Emergency physician Jen Waxler has dedicated her career to wellness. She is now bringing that passion into the fitness space.
She and Scott Waxler will open the new BODYBAR Wesley Chapel on Feb. 9 at 27216 State Road 56.
The BODYBAR method is a workout experience powered by Pilates that helps individuals discover their physical potential and enhance their overall well-being both on and off the Reformer.
Having long educated others on nutrition, fitness and well-being, Jen believes in the power of movement and mindfulness to build a strong mind-body connection. The new studio gives members a place to slow down, recharge and prioritize themselves amid the stress of everyday life.
“BODYBAR Pilates’ mission is to cultivate a balanced, athletic and real community,” Jen said. “Our expert-led classes cater to all fitness levels in a welcoming environment, utilizing state-of-the-art Pilates equipment. We welcome everyone to come in and try Pilates at our studio and see how it can help anyone achieve their long-term fitness goals.”
This will mark the 10th location in the Tampa Bay market and the 76th studio for the franchise. Additional studios are set to open later this spring in Westchase, Palmetto and North and Downtown St. Petersburg.
