Welcome to Episode 9 of the WELL + WILD Podcast.

This week we an inspirational guest who happens to be one of my bessies Amanda Calland, a pilates instructor and business owner from Winchester! Mandy started her career in the Telecoms industry but after a few years realised she had a passion for pilates and decided to leave the corporate world to set up her own Pilates business and hasn’t looked back!

Mandy teaches a mixture of classes in studios and at her own local venues. She’s built up her business from scratch and built a loyal client base teaching a mixture of individuals, corporates and 1:1 classes. She also teaches at retreats for Workout Away. We dive into the detail around how she built up her business including advice for anyone who is looking to move into the fitness industry.

As we’ve been friends for 10+ years I know Mandy super well and it was so incredible to chat to her about how far she’s come with her business since leaving the corporate world. She had a vision for what she wanted for her life, took a risk and worked hard to achieve it and she’s certainly accomplished so many things already and I’m so proud of her.

What an incredible discussion, please enjoy the episode and thanks so much for listening!
