“When I was at the studio getting certified to teach Pilates I was on the apparatus all the time. There were also so many people going in out and using the same equipment that I did.
I was kind of grossed out that I had to use the same Pilates loops that everyone else did. People were sweating, I was sweating and of course there was no way to clean the loops. So that’s how I came up with the idea of personalized Pilates loops.”
