This week, I’m sitting down with Ashtyn Pharis, founder of Pilates by Ashtyn, the largest Pilates studio in Ohio, to talk about the long game of building: discipline, identity, and knowing when to go all in… and when to walk away.

We unpack her path from elite athletics to heavy weightlifting, shutting down a decade-long online fitness business, and rebuilding from the ground up with a business rooted in relationships not transactions. We also talk about control, scaling, burnout, and why the client experience matters more than trends, algorithms, or competition.
