History

Established in 2001.

Intelligent Exercise was founded by Jae Gruenke so she could use her training as a Feldenkrais Practitioner together with her fitness background to help people facing challenges in their daily functioning. The Intelligent Exercise staff now comprises four trainer/​practitioners with broad and extensive experience helping people function better.

The Balanced Runner is an offshoot of Intelligent Exercise that developed from Jae’s interest in the mechanics of running and gaps in the popular instruction on running form. Having used the Feldenkrais Method to solve her own problems running, she wanted to use the method to help other runners feel great and perform up to their potential. Together with Julia Pak she offers one-​on-​one lessons, workshops, downloadable lessons, and distance learning via Skype to runners in the NYC area and around the world.
