Our Story
SQZ was created by Anj, a NYC-based Pilates instructor who graduated from her certification program in 2024 and set out to find new ways to challenge her clients and deepen their practice.
When she searched for a weighted magic circle—a simple tool with transformative potential—she was surprised to find nothing on the market. That moment sparked an idea that would grow into something bigger.
How SQZ Came to Life

How It All Started
What began as a gap in the Pilates space turned into a year-long journey of product development. After Anj graduated her pilates program in 2024, she worked hands-on to design, test, and refine a tool that would elevate movement, strength, and control.
