OK, I’m about to get a lil mushy and that’s not usually how I roll, but reaching the 10 year mark for this amazing studio has me (and the team) feeling all the feels.
-
When we opened in 2016, I bought two used machines on Facebook marketplace and rented a small space in the back of a swim studio in Birmingham I was honestly hoping that 5 to 10 people would show up.
-
Three years and we grew out of the space and renovated our current studio in Ferndale. We had about six months before Covid shut us down, but we were very fortunate to open a few months later, strictly seeing privates, one at a time
-
As clients returned to the studio, the team expanded. We added massage therapists, functional stretch specialists, and rehab pilates therapists. We have always had the most skilled, intelligent, kind, and well-trained instructors in the city.
-
Our Pilates community shared their experiences through insanely positive reviews, spreading the word, and by bringing their friends and family. We were reaching the lives of so many people who had never tried Pilates on the machines before. We knew we were creating something truly special.
-
It’s been 10 years now. We’ve had engagements, marriages, and so many babies. We’ve shared losses and illnesses, injuries and setbacks. There’s been countless hugs, high fives, new friendships and at this point, many of our clients are now “old friends.”
-
While I can’t say it hasn’t been a lot of hard work, I will share that it has been one of my greatest joys in life to watch the evolution of our team, clients, community and families. You have all worked so hard. Pushed your limits. Exceeded expectations. Shown up on dreary days. Lifted each other up. And gave yourself the gift of Pilates and wellness that will be with you forever.
-
Thank you to everyone who has helped make this milestone happy. Words fall short expressing how grateful I am!!
