MeJo Featured in "Romana on Pilates: The Legacy Edition"

Considered in the industry as “Romana’s protege”, MeJo was personally chosen from thousands of teachers to film Romanas own Pilates video, Romana’s Pilates Matwork Series and Romana on Pilates: The Legacy Edition.

It was in this filming in 2003 that Romana certified MeJo as a “Teacher Trainer” to help Romana teach the next generation of Pilates instructors. Since then, MeJo has been one of the most sought after instructors in the industry. She has taught seminars and given personal demonstrations of the advanced Pilates work throughout the US and Europe including the Classical Pilates Convention in Big Bear, the PMA, Pilates Style, and most recently the Olympiski Sport Center in Moscow, where 18,000 fitness professionals attended!

In 2006, MeJo hosted and produced a pilot for television, Pilates on Location, the first television show dedicated to Pilates enthusiasts, where she guides viewers through a half hour mat. In addition, she produced her own DVD, “20 Minutes, Twice a Week™ ” which MeJo does personally to stay in shape, and that she recommends to her clients to do at home when they’re just too busy to make it to the studio.

MeJo opened her own studio, MeJo Wiggin, LLC, the first fully equipped, authentic Pilates Studio in Connecticut, in 1996. She is still a strong advocate and example of the Classical Pilates method which earned her appearances on Fox News, “Fox on Health” , NBC’s “The Today Show”, and News 12 a premier cable news station in the Tri-State.
