Our Story

Solterra began with a simple belief: wellness should feel beautifully integrated into real life.

After years of moving through boutique fitness studios, spas, hotel wellness spaces, and community-driven places around the world, Teresa and Steve saw an opportunity to create something Central Ohio did not yet have: a wellness club that connects movement, recovery, renewal, hospitality, and community under one roof.

Solterra is not being built as a single-service studio. It is being built as a place to arrive, move with intention, recover with purpose, refresh your body, linger over coffee or juice, and feel connected to a community that values both progress and ease.

Strength. Stillness. Renewal.

A club designed around the full arc of a visit.

Move with precision. Recover with intention. Renew through skin, body, coffee, juice, retail, events, and hospitality-forward care.

The idea

Teresa loved the work. She wanted more from the space around it.

Pilates was already part of Teresa’s life. The workouts were effective and the method mattered, but something often felt missing in the experience surrounding the class.

Too many studios were built around getting in and getting out. There was little room to linger, connect, recover, ask questions, share coffee, or make wellness feel like part of the day instead of another appointment squeezed onto the calendar.

1

More warmth

A place that feels welcoming, not transactional.

2

More connection

A club where members can meet, return, and feel known over time.

3

More recovery

A wellness rhythm that respects the body after the workout, not just during it.

4

More lifestyle

Coffee, juice, retail, events, and service experiences that make the club feel integrated into daily life.

The founders

Built by Teresa & Steve

Solterra brings together Teresa’s eye for design, hospitality, wellness, and client experience with Steve’s background in business ownership, operations, real estate, finance, and execution.

Co-founder

Teresa Powell

Teresa’s vision for Solterra is rooted in the details that make a space feel different: warmth, design, community, service, and the feeling that wellness can be both elevated and approachable.

Her experience in real estate, design, client relationships, and Pilates shaped the original idea for a club that feels more complete than a traditional fitness studio.

Co-founder

Steve Powell

Steve brings the operational discipline behind the vision: business ownership, finance, systems, construction coordination, technology, vendor management, and the ability to move a complex concept from idea to execution.

His role is to make the experience work behind the scenes so the member-facing experience feels seamless, calm, and polished.

What we are building

Not just a studio. Not just a spa. A wellness club.

Solterra is designed for the way people actually want to use wellness: sometimes through movement, sometimes through recovery, sometimes through skin and body care, and sometimes through simply having a beautiful place to gather.

Strength

The Form Studio + The Flow Studio

Reformer Pilates, mat Pilates, yoga, aerial, heated and non-heated class formats, and recovery-based movement designed to build consistency without intimidation.

Explore Strength
Stillness

The Sauna Suite + The Stillness Lounge

Full-spectrum infrared sauna, luxury heated loungers, and quiet recovery spaces that help members slow down, reset, and restore.

Explore Stillness
Renewal

The Glow Suite + Treatment Rooms

Mystic Unity, WellFit skincare, facials, massage, bodywork, and select wellness services designed to support how members feel in their bodies.

Why The Galaxy

A club belongs where people already live, gather, dine, work, and move.

The Galaxy at Polaris gives Solterra a setting that supports the concept: a modern mixed-use destination with energy, visibility, dining, residential life, outdoor gathering space, and room for community programming.

Solterra is designed to become part of that rhythm. Members can come for class, stay for recovery, meet a friend for coffee, attend a wellness event, or build an entire weekly routine around the club.

Destination

More than an errand

The location supports a wellness experience that feels intentional and worth returning to.

Community

Room to gather

Events, outdoor activations, partner experiences, and hospitality touchpoints are part of the Solterra vision.

Lifestyle

Built into the day

Coffee, juice, retail, and services make Solterra easier to integrate into everyday routines.

Momentum

Pre-opening energy

Pop-ups and partner events are already introducing the community to the Solterra experience before opening.

Our philosophy

Wellness should be disciplined, but not cold. Elevated, but not exclusive. Beautiful, but still useful.

Solterra is being designed around the balance between precision and ease. The experience should feel polished without feeling sterile, warm without feeling casual, and premium without losing approachability.

Founder perspective

“We wanted to create the kind of place people wish existed after every great class: somewhere to recover, connect, refresh, and stay a little longer.”

The details matter

Hospitality is part of the wellness experience.

Solterra’s member experience is shaped by the small details: the welcome, the lighting, the room names, the scent, the coffee, the towel, the pace, the follow-up, and the sense that the space was designed with intention.

Design

Calm, warm, and refined

Earth tones, natural textures, and soft contrast are used to make the club feel elevated without feeling untouchable.

Service

Concierge-minded care

The goal is to make members feel guided, not processed, from booking through the end of each visit.

Partners

Local and lifestyle-driven

Solterra is built with thoughtful partners across coffee, juice, retail, events, scent, design, and wellness.

Community

Connection without pressure

Members can engage deeply or simply enjoy the space. The club is designed to support both.

Before opening

The community is already forming.

Solterra’s story did not start on opening day. It started through conversations, collaborations, pop-ups, partner events, Founding Members, instructor relationships, and early supporters who understood the vision before the doors were open.

Pre-opening events are giving the community a first look at what Solterra is becoming: intentional movement, thoughtful hospitality, elevated partners, and a club experience that feels distinct in Central Ohio.
