Female emPOWERED: Winning in Business & Life

#FemaleFridays with Olesya Webb

Episode 80: Female Fridays with Olesya Webb


Olesya Webb was an elite level gymnast who began to travel the country performing day in and out as a professional contortionist and acrobat. You can imagine the beating her body took as a result. She began practicing Pilates as cross-training and it quickly became vital to help her avoid injury and stay healthy.

Olesya became a Pilates instructor in 2018 and she is fiercely passionate about helping her clients get out and stay out of pain as she has experienced this first hand. She currently teaches out of her studio located in Houston, TX.

Over the last few years, Olesya has experienced burnout and adrenal fatigue...something many of us in the fitness industry have gone through ourselves at one time or another. Listen in as we discuss how to create boundaries, decide what to say yes or no to, and her journey from being a gymnast to the pilates instructor she is today.

In this episode we discuss:
