OUR TEAM
JESSICA RENEE BOGNAR
Founder
After undergoing open-heart surgery in 2003, I quickly learned the importance of body conditioning. Discovering Pilates and learning how to breathe and move properly became life-changing! After incorporating Pilates principles to my training I began to notice a huge difference in my performance. Beginning with Classical Pilates I quickly found myself wanting more and mixed Pilates with my strength training. This led me to create a class I call Pilates Plus. I have been STOTT Pilates certified in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels for over 15 years and TRX Certified. My goal for Trek House is to provide individualized care to the Houston community.
ALANA MUELLER
Growing up in Hawai’i I spent most of my time outdoors; hiking, swimming, surfing, biking, you name it. These activities bought me happiness but over time I realized how “hard” I had been on my body. This realization brought me to Pilates. It became a way to heal, restore and increase my strength without risking injury. Pilates is not only exercise and physical therapy but also a mental therapy, aligning body, mind, and spirit. When I moved to Houston, I decided to explore my passion further by enrolling in the STOTT Pilates mat and reformer certification. My goal as a teacher is to create an environment that focuses on connecting mind and body through the power of breath, body awareness and strength in a welcoming community.
SHEREE BURNS
Sheree grew up in Houston and attended Galveston college while briefly living there after high school and then moved back to Houston in 2014 as a dental assistant which was great but left me with back issues and poor posture habits for someone so young and I didn't find Pilates until about seven years later and immediately fell in love and became "addicted" to it so to speak. I then became certified as a group personal trainer through NASM and then started my Pilates curriculum with Balanced Body in mid 2022. I truly believe everyone should be doing Pilates and love instructing others and making them feel good in their bodies!!

DIANA DAY
In my twenties I started practicing yoga because my body was always in pain. I was fit and always exercising but something was missing. Seven years ago I started my first Vinyasana training in Houston. This is Yoga for fitness, it focuses on building muscle and losing weight. The same year I decided to travel to India to study hatha and meditation to focus on mindfulness, relaxation, stress relief, and techniques to combat anxiety and externalized feelings.

My love for Pilates started when I was looking for a way to stay active without feeling like I was burning out all of my energy. Within a week of doing Pilates, it taught me that it’s more than just movements - it kept me consistent, grounded and always progressing after each session. Pilates has continuously helped me not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. My goal as an instructor is to support, guide and empower you through your fitness journey in all ways.
HALANI RODRIGUEZ
Studio Manager
I am currently a student at The University of Houston studying to get my BFA in Graphic Design. As a child I have always gravitated towards design but never knew I would be pursuing it as a career! I really enjoy using my hands to create traditionally with analog methods and now digitally as well! Art and design has always been an outlet of relaxation and meditation for me and being in the studio has inspired me to try a new method of focus! Pilates has helped me look at working out in a new perspective.
