She Says It: Jenni's Story, From Dance Studio to Body & Soul Pilates
In this episode of the She Says It podcast, recorded right here at Body & Soul Pilates in Puyallup, Jenni sits down for an honest, warm and often funny conversation about the road that led to the studio you know today.
Jenni's relationship with movement started long before Body & Soul Pilates existed. She began dancing at age three and went on to spend more than two decades in personal training and group fitness. In 2010, she started the studio with a single reformer, and today the community she has built is made up of clients from their late teens into their 90s.
In this conversation, Jenni talks about:
- How a simple offer from a client turned into a business, and how the studio grew through friendships and word of mouth
- The community that has formed along the way, including groups of clients who now meet for lunch outside of class
- Why she believes Pilates is an exercise you can do for life, and what it really does for your body and how you feel
- The story behind the name Body & Soul Pilates (and a few names it almost had instead!)
- What she hopes every person feels when they walk through the door
- Her personal journey with dance, fitness and health, and what it taught her about loving who you are
It is a conversation about movement, community and what happens when you build a business around relationships. Whether you are a longtime client or curious about Pilates for the first time, we hope it makes you feel like part of the family.
Come as you are. We would love to see you at Body & Soul Pilates.
