Send us a text

A VHS tape with a workout years ago was the starting point for Carey Sadler's Pilates journey. That eventually led her to a love of Pilates so profound that she founded Rivercity Pilates in North Liberty, Iowa from the ground up. In this episode, I'm joined by Carey, a beacon of entrepreneurial spirit and a testament to the transformative power of Pilates. She recounts her captivating journey from a novice to a studio owner, painting a picture of the early years of the business while planting her Pilates roots in small-town Iowa. Carey also shares the daily delights of her studio environment, which also includes yoga to strength training, as well as an unbreakable communal bond with clients - and sometimes their four-legged companions.
