About PersonalHour
PersonalHour began with a simple mission: to make high-quality Pilates accessible to more people. Today, the company offers studio-grade and space-saving Pilates reformers, including the Nano Elite and Janet 2.0—PersonalHour’s first foldable wooden reformer, named in honor of Nadia’s mother.
PersonalHour customers also receive access to an AI-powered Pilates app that uses camera-based technology to help guide their movements without requiring wearable devices.
We are grateful to Daymond John and the Next Level CEO team for giving Nadia the opportunity to share PersonalHour’s story.
