PATTI ZAKOOR

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

 Hi, I’m Patti Zakoor, born and raised in Windsor, Ontario Canada.  I’m a wife, mom and CFO of one of North America’s largest manufacturing facilities.  I have always had a deep interest in health and fitness and have been working out for 35 years, making it a priority, even with a family and full time career.

What are you most proud of?

My family is my greatest joy and gives me a tremendous sense of pride.  Secondly to them, I am proud of my career and the growth of the company I work for.  A short 24 years ago we started with 4 employees and have grown organically with Global Operations of over 900 team members across North America and Europe. We did this through hard work, dedication and perseverance. I truly feel that you can accomplish anything if you are willing to work hard, have the right mindset and surround yourself with amazing people.  This is something I remind my boys of often.

 What made you decide to open an O44 Franchise?

My love of fun, effective and efficient workouts is what led me to start following Carrie and streaming her workouts years ago. As I got to know her and the O44 brand, it was clear to me that Carrie is not only exceptionally talented in her programming and business sense, she is authentic and real ~ traits that I feel are so important. Since the o44 franchising has been announced it’s been my dream to be able to open a studio.

Meeting and developing a friendship with our studio manager Cindy, is what pushed me to finally take this leap. Not only is Cindy an amazing instructor, she is a model representation of all that O44 is.

What are you most looking forward to?

What I look forward to the most is building an incredible and supportive community with like-minded women, while sharing the magic of the O44 Method workout.  Together with Cindy and our Team, I plan to operate the studio with all of the principles that are important to me, Integrity, empowerment and thoughtfulness to name a few.

CINDY MULLINS

Tell us a little bit about yourself?

Hi! I’m Cindy Mullins! I am a 54 year old mother of two teenagers and live with my husband David in Berkley Michigan. I began my teaching career at 16, teaching aerobics and never looked back. I have taught both Pilates and barre for over 30 years and love sharing my passion for movement with both students and teachers!

This is such a full circle moment with me being able to work with my close friend Carrie Dorr, the creator of this method after 25 years of friendship.

What are you most excited about as Studio Manager Lead Instructor?

I am so excited to bring this method to our community. I can’t wait to see all of the beautiful faces that I have had the pleasure of teaching come thru our doors and experience O44!

As lead teacher I love to be able to share my knowledge of teaching with all of the instructors. I pride myself on holding to a high level of teaching and our teachers at the studio will be the best you can have!
