We had the good fortune of connecting with Karis Loewen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Karis, what do you attribute your success to?
While my personal commitment and perseverance certainly play a significant role, the true magic behind the success of The WRKT Method™ lies in the collaborative efforts and unwavering support of our dedicated team of instructors, our cherished members, and the invaluable encouragement from our friends and family. It’s the amalgamation of these elements that has propelled us forward and shaped the vibrant community we’ve cultivated.

From the very beginning, I envisioned The WRKT as more than just a pilates studio—it was to be a place where individuals could come together, challenge themselves, and grow both physically and mentally. What truly sets us apart is the collective spirit of collaboration and inclusivity that permeates every aspect of our studio.

Our instructors bring not only their expertise but also their passion and dedication to every class, inspiring and motivating our members to reach their full potential. Similarly, our members, with their unwavering support and enthusiasm, create an atmosphere of camaraderie and encouragement that is palpable as soon as you walk through our doors.

But it doesn’t stop there—my friends and family have been instrumental in providing the foundation of support and belief in The WRKT’s mission. Their encouragement has fueled my drive to continually innovate and elevate the studio experience for everyone involved.

In essence, The WRKT is not just a place to work out; it’s a vibrant community where each individual’s contribution is valued and celebrated. Together, we’ve created a space where people come not only to transform their bodies but also to nourish their minds and spirits, forging connections that extend far beyond the studio walls.

And for that, I am endlessly grateful.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
The WRKT Method™, is not just about fitness; it is also about fostering a community of empowerment, wellness, and growth. What sets us apart is our commitment to providing more than just a workout—we offer an immersive experience that encompasses mind, body, and spirit.

What I’m most proud of is the journey we’ve taken to get where we are today. It hasn’t been easy, but every challenge has been an opportunity for growth and learning. From humble beginnings to establishing ourselves as a trusted pillar in the fitness industry, we’ve overcome obstacles with resilience and determination.

One of the key lessons we’ve learned along the way is the importance of adaptability. The fitness landscape is constantly evolving, and staying ahead means embracing change and innovation.
