The Big Picture with Lise Kuecker and Beth Gibbs-Bartel of Merrithew

As Pilates grows by leaps and bounds around the world, I recently sat down with a true doyenne (expert) of the Pilates industry to explore a keen veteran’s perspective. 

Episode 665: The Big Picture with Lise Kuecker and Beth Gibbs-Bartel of Merrithew is 100 percent worth a listen – even if you’re not playing in the Pilates space at the moment.

  • Global growth: tracking hot demand in the U.S., Asia and the Middle East
  • Lifelong learning: providing continuing education and careers for instructors 
  • Sweet spot: debating the maximum number of participants in a Reformer class
  • Leveling up: adding novelty with the Cadillac, Chair and Barrel training
  • Stoking the fire: opening a huge training center for instructors, influencers & athletes 

Y’all, there are such ripe possibilities right now with Pilates worldwide. Catch the conversation in Episode 665 and meet Beth, a 20-year Merrithew leader and the current CRO. 

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
