Today we’d like to introduce you to Allan Haybittle.
Hi Allan, 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?
My wife Ale and I have always been passionate about sports and staying active. Allan, an ex-professional soccer player in Brazil and Ale, winner of several long-distance running races, have always had the dream to move to the US. The dream came true when we opened our own IMX Pilates and Fitness studio in June 2020 in Carrollwood, Tampa. This allowed us to be able to get our Pilates certifications at IMX headquarters in New York. There is a max of nine people per class, which allows us to help our clients to achieve their goals by being able to truly focus on form, alignment, modifications for injuries and progressions for more advanced practitioners.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The biggest obstacle we have had to face is running a successful studio during a pandemic. We moved here one month before the lockdown and had to delay the opening of our studio. It has been hard to get our name out and have clients feel comfortable coming to the studio with everything that’s going on.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about IMX Pilates, Fitness and Yoga?
Our studio offers reformer Pilates and Pilates-inspired circuit classes. Our instructors are trained to push each individual customer to do their best, receive and embrace all the benefits that Pilates can offer. Since we are a small studio, we have developed a friendly atmosphere where clients feel safe and comfortable. IM=X® Pilates & Fitness offers Pilates reinvented, re-choreographed, and reconstructed to include other physical disciplines. IM=X® updates older concepts and practices to reflect the newest research on fitness, cardiovascular training, and spine stabilization; and thus is truly the next evolution of Pilates fitness workouts. The variation within IM=X® makes it possible to welcome everyone from the “couch potato” to the professional athlete. We offer a powerful version of Pilates style exercise plus cardio, tower, barre and weights – total cross conditioning success! No matter what your fitness level or objectives, we will help you reach your goals! This is a testimony of one of our customers: A welcoming and unique place, where I feel that the instructors take care of my movements, correcting me when required and helping to get better every day. I love the events that they promote, which makes me feel that they deliver is beyond other studios.
How do you think about happiness?
I am happiest when I’m with my family and friends, living a healthy life and playing sports.
