Today we’d like to introduce you to Tammy Birlew
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I was a VP for a Fortune 250 company working in the global supply chain sector and I traveled 85% of the time with my job. Two years ago, we parted ways and I decided I wanted something different, something I enjoy and can have a healthy life balance. From my business background, I know you want to find something that is unique in the space. I know I wanted to Franchise, but it had to be the right fit for me. A brand that is up and coming, brings value and support to the franchisees, brings something new to the community and something I am passionate about.
I actually had 2 hip replacements and my PT wanted me to continue with Pilates. It was very challenging to find the right studio, hard to get into classes and never felt like the right space. I stumbled upon Studio Pilates International while looking for franchise opportunities and was intrigued. I flew out to New York and met with Marisa Fuller, who is the Franchisee of 3 Studio Pilates locations (2 in New York and 1 in North Carolina), took a class and fell in love with the brand! I feel like Studio Pilates is a perfect match and the support and guidance that you get is unbelievable. I could not wait to introduce this amazing brand to Minnesota.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It actually has been pretty smooth. The training and preparation offered by the corporate team of Studio Pilates International is amazing. They really prepare you for all the various things that can and will happen! There are always a bit of little hiccups with any new business, but ensuring you have hired the right team that will jump in and support is key.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Studio Pilates?
