Local Fitness Entrepreneur Opens Boutique Pilates Studio

Sue Goldberg, a local Bethesda fitness entrepreneur, opened her first Club Pilates, which is part of the nation’s largest premium Pilates franchise. Located at 4959 Elm Street, the new studio offers members full-body workouts that improves posture, balance, flexibility and strength.

In celebration of National Pilates Day on May 5, Club Pilates studios are encouraging everybody to try the effective full-body workout format and Club Pilates studios in Maryland and Virginia are giving $10 e-gift cards to anyone who completes a free, 30-minute Intro Class between Monday, April 30 and Sunday, May 6.

The bright, state-of-the-art Pilates studio welcomes members into a supportive atmosphere where they can choose from four class levels and eight signature group class formats that use a variety of equipment, including Reformers, EXO chairs, TRX, Trigger Point and springboard. Goldberg, who has a separate sports and fitness business specifically for kids, became addicted to Pilates herself after trying it for the first time last year.

“I’ve always believed that the culture of exercising should start when someone is young and continue throughout their lives,” Goldberg said. “I originally went to Pilates to help me train for a marathon and I quickly realized how beneficial Pilates can be for people of all ages and all walks of life. Whether you play golf, tennis, run, or just want to be stronger and healthier, Pilates can give you a whole body work-out that supports your lifestyle. Bethesda needed a Pilates studio like this, and I’m thrilled to bring this exercise experience to my neighbors.”

Club Pilates is the first Pilates organization to create a proprietary 500-hour Teacher Training Program designed to thoroughly and safely teach group Reformer Pilates classes along with TRX, Triggerpoint, and Barre. Club Pilates has more than 300 locations in 37 states.
