Celebrating MVP's Achievements Since 2020
All 4 Balanced Body Reformers now have Tower & Mat conversions!
A lot has happened since 2020!
(That’s the understatement of the year.)
I’d like to take a moment to celebrate the ways MVP has not just survived—but has truly blossomed—since COVID first tried to take us down in 2020. (Not today, COVID!) Our clients have been a huge part of what’s kept us going, so thank you to YOU! And thank you to all the dedicated teachers who make the studio a delightful place to be.
So, without further ado, here are a few highlights of MVP’s achievements since March 2020.

VIRTUAL SESSIONS
We began offering live virtual Pilates sessions in March 2020, the week after the COVID-19 shelter in place began, and Krista continues to provide Zoom-based private sessions regularly. Affiliated teachers also teach virtual/online sessions through their own independent businesses.
MVP VIMEO CHANNEL:
ON-DEMAND WEB-BASED WORKOUTS
Check out the MVP Vimeo Channel!
It’s a free video library with several types of workouts. Plans are in the works for more free options, as well as fee-based classes and workshops.

ATP: THE NEW MVP BUSINESS MODEL
Probably the most exciting accomplishment!
Krista completely changed the studio's business model from a "traditional" Independent Contractor model to a unique, collective-inspired rental/referral model called the “Affiliated Teacher Program,” where each teacher can grow their own business while sharing space with like-minded colleagues. Krista refers new clients to teachers who rent space and equipment from MVP.
It allows MVP to help other small business owners grow while still continuing to welcome greater numbers of Pilates enthusiasts into the MVP space. Through this program, we converted 2 Independent Contractors into Affiliated Teachers and and onboarded 2 new Affiliated Teachers.
NEW EQUIPMENT
o Brand New Classical Wunda Chair: a beautiful chair in Fjord Blue, built just for MVP by Pilates Designs.
o Krista installed 2 new Pilates Towers and 1 new Pilates Reformer/Tower combination unit. Now the studio has 4 Balanced Body Studio Reformer/Tower Combination Units, expanding our available repertoires with private clients and enabling us to run full Tower/Mat group classes.
Throughout the space, you’ll find new additions like art, lighting and furniture to make the place feel like your Pilates Home.

GROUP CLASSES
Small Group Training is back for classes of up to 4 (sometimes 5) people! At the moment, Krista teaches 3—5 group classes per week, Sophia has about 4, and Kelly has recently started one, too. Hopefully there will be more soon!
ACCESSIBLILITY
Krista created lower-cost options like Pilates Lab, independent practice, and scholarship sessions to make Pilates more financially accessible to greater numbers of people.
What’s next?
We hope to continue to expand and serve greater numbers of our community by offering more workshops, group classes and online classes. And Krista is finally getting some administrative help—yay!!!
