I started 2025 completely stressed out from nearly two years of wrangling with landlords, trying to take on commercial properties.
The amount of time, energy and money I had put into it was quite frankly shocking, my only regret was not walking away sooner.
I have always believed things happen for a reason and things come along when the time is right.
A new opportunity presented itself in January, and with a cheeky (and very unlike me) attitude, I asked to use a longstanding clients space. Luckily for me, they said yes.
I got the keys in March, and my husband and I, whilst working full time during the week, set about decorating and preparing the studio for use.
March was possibly one of the most physically and mentally exhausting times of mine and my husbands lives, there was many a time when silence was the best option 🫣 Thank god our marriage is solid!
I opened the doors to The Dairy on Tuesday 1st April.
Nine months on, it has been the best decision I could have made. It has been harder than I anticipated (mainly the daily management of the whole space by myself) I am so thankful that I already have a loyal client base, I don’t know how people open studios from scratch with no clients 🤯
In September Jade joined the My Pilates MO team. Jade and I have trained and qualified together since the start of our Pilates Teacher journey. Jade is a passionate, knowledgeable Pilates Teacher and I’m so pleased she is running her classes at The Dairy.
On 11th January 2026 it will be ten years since I started my first Mat Pilates classes, and many of these clients are still with me.
I count myself very lucky that I have so many loyal clients that trust me with their bodies!
2025 has been a year of change and of taking chances. There is still some evolving to do and focus to find in 2026, but I am excited to see what it has in store.
Thank you to all my wonderful clients past, present and future who are on this journey with me.
I wish you all a healthy happy and positive New Year 🥳🥳🥳🥳
