The Shire Studio is owned and operated by Catherine Betts, a local mom of two, former Division I athlete, performance coach, and founder of Betts Fit Sports Bras.

For years, Catherine had her eye on the building across from the Glenshire Market, pizza spot, and local preschool. Opening a fitness and wellness studio had always been a dream—but after watching the fitness industry take a major hit, she hesitated. Still, the pull toward creating something meaningful for her community never went away. Eventually, she decided she couldn’t wait any longer and took a leap of faith.

Together with her husband, a local contractor, Catherine thoughtfully built out the space to support strength training, barre, Pilates, circuit-style training, yoga, Open Gym access, and family-friendly programming. What began as a fitness studio has grown into a true community hub—one that supports longevity, resilience, and connection through every season of life.

As the founder of Betts Fit Sports Bras, Catherine brings her deep understanding of women’s bodies, performance, and real-world movement into everything she builds—from programming and equipment choices to recovery offerings and class design.

Catherine’s vision for The Shire Studio goes beyond workouts. Her goal is to create a welcoming place where neighbors connect, local families feel supported, and movement becomes a sustainable part of everyday life. The studio offers educational clinics, wellness seminars, recovery services, meditative experiences, postnatal support, and kids’ programs—all designed to meet people where they are.

Classes and training sessions are led by local fitness and health professionals, many of whom are moms themselves, bringing experience, empathy, and real-life understanding into every offering.

The Shire Studio is a space to grow stronger—physically and mentally—while feeling supported, seen, and connected.

May this space make your body strong, your mind balanced, and your soul feel at home.
