Poway Mom Teams With Business Partner to Open Fitness Center

A fun workout that combines dance and pilates into one 700-calorie burning session is just one aspect two business women are banking on as they open Xtend Barre in Poway .

The owners—Powegian Sara Peelle and San Diegan Angie Nobile—said they're hoping their fitness center, which opens May 6, will provide a sense of support for moms involved in the local philanthrophy community.

“It's more than just a fitness studio in Poway,” said Nobile. “It's a community where like-minded women can come together and get involved.”

Xtend Barre—a national franchise focused on a workout created by Andrea Rogers with three locations in the county so far—gained the devotion of Peelle and Nobile just last year.

“It's pilates dance amplified," Peelle said. “It's not like a Curves workout where you get the same thing over and over again. Our format varies from class to class, and our core is the pilates repertoire with dance.”

Peelle said the classes, which are 55 minutes long and include a ballet barre, can burn about 500 to 700 calories.

"It's a full body workout."

Peelle and Nobile said they became hooked on the workout and the bond they discovered with other women. Later, they would meet through the founder, Rogers.

“Angie and the founder have known each other since they were 3 years old,” said Peelle, who is a certified pilates instructor with a doctorate in physical therapy. “I was crazy about Xtend Barre and very interested in pursuing a career. The founder kinda hooked us up.”

Peelle said because of Nobile's Fortune 500 background and her credentials being the former president of the San Diego Women's Network, the two clicked.

“It just worked,” Peelle said of her relationship with Nobile, who has a master's in business administration. “We have the same drive and commitment.”

Less than a year after getting into the workouts, the two will open their 1,200-foot Xtend Barre studio on Friday and will offer free classes during the first week.

But the two, who are both mothers of young children, said they hope it also becomes a facility that brings the community together in a healthy environment and knew Poway would be the most suitable city for their vision.

Peelle—who has lived in Poway for 10 years with her husband, Justin, a former San Diego Chargers player—said she chose to open the studio in Poway because of its sense of community, and the studio plans to help a number of nonprofits.

I tried to post a comment on the coupon Gymboree 20% last week, but for some reason it was never posted on the site. ?? I try again because I think it is important to spread the word-The coupon of 20% is not a valid coupon and was refused by the store manager when I tried to use it. In addition, the manager went on to say he was never valid and is not authorized by Gymboree, it has been scanned from old friends and family and good paper published online on a third party site not affiliated with Gymboree.
