Not Just a Workout: Brittany Grignon-Hays on Building the Session Pilates Community

44m | Mar 6, 2026

In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, we sit down with Brittany Grignon, founder and owner of SESSION Pilates, to talk about what it really takes to build a fitness brand that lasts.

Nearly ten years ago, Brittany launched SESSION Pilates in Dallas with a vision that went far beyond reformers and playlists. She wanted to create a space where women felt seen, instructors felt valued, and community was not just a buzzword. Today, SESSION is celebrating a decade in business, multiple locations across Dallas and Nashville, and the launch of the SESSION Foundation.

We talk about:

• How Brittany transitioned from instructor to founder

• The profit share model that changed their industry dynamic

• What scaling intentionally actually looks like

• The reality of entrepreneurship, including COVID pivots and team transitions

• Why community is Session’s true differentiator

• The lessons learned from 10 years in business

• The launch of the Session Foundation and the 80K grant supporting future female entrepreneurs

This conversation is about more than Pilates. It is about leadership, longevity, and building something that outlives trends.

If you are a female founder, fitness professional, or someone who believes in the power of community driven wellness, this episode will inspire you.
