Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca Beckler.
Rebecca, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
When my daughter was 2 years old she was diagnosed with leukemia. This turned my world upside down and I was no longer able to do my Pilates studio workouts. So I started playing around with Pilates equipment based and Pilates Mat exercises on the TRX Suspension Trainer at my home and eventually this evolved into my Pilates Suspension Method.
Once my daughter finished her 2 1/2 years of chemo treatment and I had my second baby I had enough exercises for an entire book and was teaching all my Pilates Suspension Method exercises to my clients and seeing great strength and flexibility increases. When I released my first book In March 2016 my PSM started to spread and I was teaching workshops every month or so in My hometown of Southern California.
Fast forward a year and the release of my second book “The Pilates Suspension Method 2.0” and my 3 workout DVD Series I am now traveling the US teaching my PSM at least once a month. So cool to see what started out with just me playing around in my garage to people doing my PSM exercises around the world!!
Has it been a smooth road?
At the end of 2017, I started to see huge growth in my Pilates Suspension Method and people across the world wanting me to host my workshops at their studio. However, with two young kids, 3 and 8 years old, I had to learn to say “No”. I want to spread my PSM, but not at the cost of missing out on time with my kids. Now I will only travel ever 3-4 weeks and only in the US. My advice to any young business owner is you have to have that work/life balance to be completely successful!
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into Pilates Suspension Method story. Tell us more about the business.
I am the creator of the Pilates Suspension Method and the author of two books on my Method. I also have 3 PSM workout videos that you can easily do at home. I am most proud of putting myself out there, not knowing if anyone would like what I had created (The Pilates Suspension Method).
Do you have a lesson or advice you’d like to share with young women just starting out?
