Get StartedCEO/Owner
Reina Offutt is an innovative founder, creative force, and driving vision in the health and fitness industry. Since launching her entrepreneurial journey in 2006, she has built much more than a successful business—she has cultivated a thriving, dynamic ecosystem designed to elevate both her team and her community.
Beyond the daily operations of running a growing venture, Reina’s true passion is building an organization that transforms fitness instruction from a temporary gig into a sustainable, rewarding career. She firmly believes that clients benefit directly from this model, receiving a significantly higher caliber of instruction from dedicated professionals who feel valued, supported, and fully invested in their craft. When instructors are empowered to thrive professionally, the entire client experience is elevated.
Under Reina’s leadership, the brand has continuously expanded its footprint across multiple markets, with steady growth scheduled for the future. Her approach prioritizes creating inspiring, accessible environments that seamlessly connect with surrounding communities.
Before making her mark in the wellness industry, Reina built a formidable foundation in analytics and strategy. She holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Tulane University and a Master of Business Administration from George Washington University. Outside of work, she is a proud mom, balancing her expanding business with a lively household that includes two children and one endlessly rambunctious Vizsla puppy.
Chief Operations Officer
Sara started her journey at RTR Pilates in 2018. As COO, she ensures efficient operational processes to support the expansion of RTR. She is committed to the growth and success of her team including the Academy, development, facilities, and instructor management.
In addition to managing the Operations team, Sara is also an instructor. She strongly believes that Pilates is for every body. She loves to help clients at each level find new ways to both challenge themselves and feel accomplished. Sara has a passion for working with pre- and post-natal clients since Pilates was incredibly important to her through three pregnancies.
Prior to RTR, Sara obtained a law degree at Vermont Law School. She also previously worked for non-profit organizations and has a passion for volunteering and giving back to the community.
Outside of RTR, Sara enjoys spending time with her husband and three kids. She loves hiking, traveling, cooking, reading, and reality TV.
Director of Sales, Marketing & Tech
With over 12 years of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, Alyssa Jacobson brings a dynamic blend of entrepreneurial drive, operational expertise, and passion for people to RTR Pilates. Before joining RTR, Alyssa owned and operated several [solidcore] studios in Minnesota, the only independently owned locations in the country, before selling them back to corporate in a multimillion-dollar deal.
At RTR, Alyssa leads the strategy behind sales, marketing, and technology integration, helping the brand continue to grow while maintaining its signature community feel. Her focus on client experience, team development, and data-driven decision-making has helped streamline operations and enhance engagement across all studios.
Alyssa believes in the power of movement, mindset, and meaningful connection—and is committed to building a culture where challenge leads to confidence, effort leads to progress, and every person at RTR learns to move and live with purpose.
