People on Plains Blog Series – Meet Katie Clarke!
We asked a few questions to learn some history and to get to know her business better.
Why did you choose Aldershot for your business?
We used to live in Aldershot, have many friends that live there, and felt it was a great place to grow beyond our smaller downtown studio. Grounded promotes community and Aldershot embodies it, it’s a great place to be.
What sets you apart from all the rest?
The belief that movement, and Pilates, is truly for everyone. Age, size, “fitness level”…who cares?! Perfection is a myth. Plus, on a selfish level, watching people get stronger gives me so much joy!
What is your specialty product or service?
Reformer Pilates is our focus, but we’re eager to bring more yoga, barre and mat Pilates to the schedule if the demand is there.
What do you love about Aldershot and what is YOUR favourite business to visit in our BIA?
I love the sense of community in Aldershot. Everyone has been so welcoming; it’s reassured me we’re in the right place. My favourite businesses are Foli and The Platter Company. Two minutes in either spot and you’ve probably had your biggest laughs all week – kindness at its best!
What would you like the Aldershot community to know about you and your business.
That we’re a place to go where they can feel completely comfortable being themselves.
Thanks for having us Katie!
