Goli Soli is the incredible owner of Jetset Pilates SoHo. She just opened her new location in SoHo, New York a few weeks ago. It was so fun hearing about the experience of opening her NYC Pilates studio in real time! Goli and I discussed her journey in the fitness industry and her experience opening a studio in the competitive NYC market.
