Today we’d like to introduce you to Sophia Axelson
Hi Sophia, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I built Neighborhood Pilates because I was frustrated with the lack of pilates studios that combined a challenging workout, an aesthetic environment, and a strong sense of community. To my surprise, I couldn’t find a studio that offered all three. So, I decided to create one myself. With an incredible team by my side, we’ve built a vibrant community in the Palisades that goes beyond just Pilates classes.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting a new business has come with its share of challenges—everything from major issues like needing a new ceiling to smaller surprises like discovering a cockroach before a 6am class. Through it all, I’ve learned the importance of keeping a sense of humor and relying on the support of those around me.
As you know, we’re big fans of Neighborhood Pilates. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
At our Pilates studio, we bring a modern twist to traditional Pilates with a single focus: ensuring you leave each class feeling 10 times better than when you arrived. We prioritize making every client feel valued and recognized, while also ensuring that every session is a challenging and inspiring experience.
What makes you happy?
The people around me truly make me happy! I’m incredibly grateful for my amazing team, the supportive community backing Neighborhood Pilates, and my friends and family. It’s wonderful to have such a vibrant group of individuals who genuinely care about Neighborhood.
