Interviewee
Sakura Futamura
Owner of "pilates studio SAIL" in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture.
After graduating from Juntendo University's Faculty of Sports and Health Science, she worked in apparel sales and as an office worker.
Her body changed due to not taking care of herself in a way that was completely different from her student days, and she encountered Pilates when she wanted to start something new.
At the age of 35, she made a fresh start, quit her company job, and became a freelance Pilates instructor.
She then opened her own Pilates studio in 2023.
Studio Concept and Features
"I want to support someone through Pilates"
Studio Concept
90% of our clients are women. I have seen many women working hard in various situations, such as those who are earning their own living while working, and mothers raising children.
As an instructor, while talking with such clients, I realized that many women have a desire to challenge something but are unable to take that first step.
I myself hesitated to take that first step, but when I felt a change in my body through Pilates and gained confidence, I was able to challenge myself to open a Pilates studio.
Changing one's body is very difficult. But I believe that those who can challenge themselves to do difficult things can also challenge themselves in other areas.
First, I want to fully support them in changing their bodies through Pilates, and then help them take on challenges they want to pursue.
This spring, three new instructors will join us, and we will welcome everyone with a team of 10.
In addition to Pilates techniques,
We want to create a studio where everyone feels energized when they come, and all instructors will work together to achieve this.
Why I chose ToeSox
"High grip and cute designs that boost my mood."
I've tried many different socks, but I really like the strong grip of these.
In Pilates, where you apply load, it's very dangerous for your feet to slip.
I've been using them for over five years, and I decided to offer them because I can confidently recommend them to my clients.
But the main reason might be that the cute designs make me happy.
My thoughts on using ToeSox
Our clients are enjoying choosing socks more than I expected.
I'm happy that they are playing a role as an item for enjoying Pilates.
