Karen Mayfield, owner of Club Pilates Guelph South
Karen Mayfield, Julia Cicuttin, and Anthony Cicuttin are the mother-daughter-son team behind Club Pilates Guelph South. Before Club Pilates Guelph South, Karen built eSolutionsGroup from the ground up and became the first female partner at an engineering consulting firm, CRA. After the firm sold the company, she embarked on a new journey, combining her passion for fitness and care for the community by starting a Club Pilates studio.
Her daughter Julia, a chemical engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, introduced Karen to the power of pilates and sparked her interest in health, fitness, and mental wellbeing. Inspired by Karen’s journey as a woman in business, Julia is eager to merge her technical expertise with holistic wellness in this family entrepreneurial pursuit.
