Almost there!

Walls are a good thing, and walls with beautiful color are even better! I am in love with Benjamin Moore "Pacific Ocean Blue"! And it is a good thing because it is the color that covers a very large wall in the studio. And in combination with "My Valentine" the red color in the back of the studio, it is looking very dramatic!

This week has felt very productive, in a messy sort of way. You know when you clean out your closet and you have pulled everything out and it is in piles all over the floor? And then you stare into the empty closet and wonder how on earth everything will fit back inside and be organized. That is where I am. I know that everything will soon, very soon, be contained within the four walls of Pilates Defined. And if everything goes according to schedule form here out, the construction will be done tomorrow and the floor by the middle of next week. I am so anxious to get my new equipment in there and make it an actual studio!

here is a picture of me and my new sign!

Welcome!

Welcome to Pilates Defined! I am so excited about finally having a space of my own and actually owning my own business.

Yesterday was a very exciting day...my sign went up! Check it out at 1143 New Britain Ave, West Hartford, Ct. I ran up and down the street looking at it from every angle. It looks great and has just the look and feel I envisioned. It has been a bit of a long haul with the permit process but ever since construction started things have been really moving along. I even have walls!  (still waiting for a phone number, however... ughhhhh)When I walked in the door I could sense the space changing into more than just the four walls, floor and ceiling. It feels so full of possibility and I can not wait to share Pilates Defined with all of my clients.

Since the building aspect is in the good hands of my contractor I have been working away trying to understand my new scheduling software. I am psyched about having all of the schedules and payment options accessible online. It will hopefully help things to run efficiently. I have also been busy developing all of my new group classes. As much as I adore the private sessions that I teach regularly I am looking forward to the additional energy that group classes bring.

As anxious as I am to move in and share the space, I will spend the next few weeks making sure that everything, including myself, is ready to go!
