‘Really Helping People’: Club Pilates Opens on Main Street
|
Two years ago, while working on Wall Street, Scott Ackerman recalled that at some point he started looking for “something different.”
“Tired” of his lifelong career, the Darien resident said, he came across a pilates franchise model and “fell in love” with it.
Before long, he left the finance industry and opened his first Club Pilates studio in Darien. That was more than 18 months ago. Since then, he’s opened a second in Westport and, on July 1, launched his New Canaan location at 70 Main St. Ackerman said he’s had a “great reception” from the community.
“We’re approaching 150 members already,” Ackerman said.
Speaking with NewCanaanite.com, Ackerman confessed that he’d been concerned that an early summer opening would mean a slow start for Club Pilates. That hasn’t been the case, and Ackerman credited his staff as well as a welcoming community.
