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

MAY 2024
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.

MAY 2025
Built From the Ground Up
In May 2025, SQZ officially launched—bringing a new level of challenge and intention to Pilates practice.

JUNE 2025
Fully Bootstrapped
SQZ is fully bootstrapped and proudly independent. In June 2025, Anj entered the Good Ol’ Girls x Shopify Pitch Competition, earning first place and validating the vision behind the brand.
