My Story

Throughout my life, fitness has been a guiding companion, adapting alongside me through various life stages. Stemming from the days of competitive swimming in my childhood fitness has remained important to me. Even after transitioning from competitive swimming to exploring different workouts like running in my mid-20s, the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle continued to shape my daily routine.

As I shifted from swimming to gym classes and later embraced running through triathlons, it became apparent that my knees were not as resilient as they once were.

Despite my passion for running, arthritis in my knees prompted me to reassess my fitness journey. Returning to the gym, I found myself searching for a workout that resonated with me, like the joy I experienced in swimming and running.

Then came the joys of motherhood that made it more difficult to find time for selfcare, however, I found myself needing fitness in my life more than ever before. I also no longer had as much time for selfcare that I so desperately needed and longed for.

The turning point was when my sister shared her positive experience with reformer Pilates. Intrigued, despite limited local options, I sought out a Pilates studio. After just one introductory class, I was hooked! Not only did it provide a full-body workout blending strength training, cardio, and stretching seamlessly, but it also allowed me to exercise without discomfort in my knees.

Five years into my Pilates journey, a move presented a challenge. With only one Pilates studio within a reasonable distance and scheduling conflicts, I faced a dilemma and needed to figure out a way to keep Pilates in my life. Determined to continue my transformative practice, I chose to invest in my own reformer and pursue certification. Thus, The Shed Studio was born—a place designed for busy women, seeking a place to prioritize their mental and physical well-being.

The Shed Studio isn't merely about delivering a workout; it's a supportive space for those who, like me, have encountered fitness limitations or struggled to find a workout they genuinely enjoy. Beyond physical transformation, The Shed Studio places a strong emphasis on aligning mindset with fitness goals, understanding that a positive mental foundation is crucial for overall well-being.
