#5. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to train 30 hours a week at the world’s best dance schools? Revolutionize the workout space by making an age-old workout brand new? Create a product where an Equinox Pilates class meets a beautiful piece of furniture? Be in the 2% of women who secure venture capital funding? Meet Melissa Bentivoglio — the founder of Frame Fitness, which is referred to as the “peloton of the slow burn.” She trained in elite classical ballet and competitive dancing from a young age until university. She began the practice of pilates while healing from a sports-related injury, upon the recommendation that it could help her recovery process. In 2018, Melissa designed her own custom reformer for use in her Toronto-based boutique fitness studio, Frame Fitness. Whether you start your day on the reformer, have never done pilates, or haven’t even heard of it — this episode is for you!

• The most effective way to rehabilitate stress injuries
