Episode 86: Female Fridays with Kaleen Canevari
Hello and I hope you are all having an AMAZING Friday! I am so excited because my #FemaleFridays guest this week is Kaleen Canevari — although I have never met her in person. I have followed her for a long time and I am not going to lie, she probably saved me hundreds of dollars in equipment repairs with her Dawn and water cleaning technique!
Kaleen is the CEO of Flexia, a connected fitness company that brings the Pilates studio into your living room. She holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and is a certified Pilates instructor. Talk about a woman who wears a lot of different hats, right? We discuss all different topics from engineering and pilates to product design.
In this episode we discuss:
- Who Kaleen is, her journey, and how she got to where she is today
- How Kaleen started to design and develop Flexia
- Thinking outside the box and figuring out a way to make everyone feel comfortable in pilates and on a reformer
- Decision-making and designing the Flexia Reformer
- How technology can help Pilates instructors & our students
- Technology that has been integrated into the Flexia Reformer
- Being a female in engineering and the equipment industry
- How men and women are viewed differently in the entrepreneurial world
- Bias against women in life and business
If you are looking to purchase a Flexia Reformer, you’ll have to jump on the waitlist because it is SOLD OUT. You can find the reformer at
