Our Story and Your Founder

Founder, Krystal Hoen

I’m originally from Columbus, Ohio. I moved to the Toledo area in 2019 where I really struggled to find my purpose. I was a new grad nurse, in a new location where friends and family seemed so far away. I met my husband in July 2020, who has been my biggest supporter and has encouraged me to be bold and courageous! God placed this desire to start “Firm Foundation Pilates” in my heart back in March this year and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified. I was scared of the judgement from others as I am not perfect and struggle with sin daily. We all do. We should be scared of the judgment of God. Not obeying his will for me is scarier than not being obedient to him. I know God will guide me through this journey every step of the way. I cant wait to start this journey with you!

Our Goal? To provide a safe and welcoming place for people to feel encouraged and uplifted while in the presence of God, our Creator. Everyone is welcome, no matter your background!

Why? Even though I only listened to secular music at a 45-minute Pilates class a few days a week, God really started to convict me and I started to not enjoy doing something I love. It took months of me really praying and asking God what his desire for my life was and in the end I knew moving forward with “Firm Foundation Pilates” was where I was lead. We are called to not be conformed to this world and in order for us to not be conformed we need to continue to be in the presence of our father daily. While everyone’s convictions are different in what we hear, see, and who we surround ourselves with, one thing is clear - the community we share while living in God’s love.
