What would you do if you spent years building strength, only to realise you could not rely on it in everyday life? 

For Mandy Macfarlane, that moment arrived after decades of working as a pharmacist; on her feet all day, lifting, reaching, assisting customers. Even after lifting heavy weights for over a decade, her body did not always move the way she needed it to. Two knee replacements later, Mandy discovered that Pilates could rebuild the kind of strength that actually supports life. 

In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host David Gunther speaks with Mandy about how Pilates restored strength she could trust, improved her balance, and helped her move confidently through daily life. 

✨ Whether you’re a Pilates studio owner, instructor, or client wanting to understand real movement outcomes, Mandy’s story shows what strength and balance look like when Pilates becomes part of a client’s life.
