Today we’d like to introduce you to Jana Zvolanekova, Leslie Brooks and Amanda Bidessy.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
All of the instructors at BeFit Studio worked together in the past. We come from various backgrounds, different stories, but we all have the same passion for health and fitness. We decided to come together to bring that passion and opportunity to our community. As important as it is to maintain our health and wellness, getting into an exercise routine isn’t easy for many people. We recognize this as we all struggled in the beginning of our own journeys. Together, we bring our experience, our knowledge of health and wellness, as well as our own passion for the formats we teach to motivate others to take that first step and to maintain their new healthy lifestyle.
Has it been a smooth road?
Any journey has bumps and detours. In the beginning, we had the challenge of finding the right facility, updating it to meet city code requirements, and finding a crew that shared our passion. It was natural for us to reach out to the instructors we’ve all worked with before and to bring our fitness family back together.
Shortly after celebrating the success of our first year, we were forced to temporarily close the studio due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preceding the closure, in anticipation of what was to come, we met as a team to quickly pre-record all the formats and quickly set up a virtual schedule to keep our members moving. We faced many challenges from teaching members how to use the technology to reformating our website and learning the ins and outs of Zoom. We also took crash courses in teaching virtually and studied instructors who were experienced in teaching virtual fitness classes to ensure that we were still providing the best experience for our participants.
As we reopened for in-person classes in June, we struggled to find the best way to continue to serve our virtual participants as well as safely reopening our doors for in-person participants. We studied the guidelines from health professionals and used them to design and implement new procedures for our members. We also reconfigured our space to allow for social distancing and to teach our classes using a hybrid model, which has allowed us to teach both in-person and virtually at the same time.
BeFit Studio – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
We specialize in group fitness classes. We offer a variety of formats including Zumba® Fitness, Zumba® Toning, STRONG Nation™, Barre Above®, Kettlebell AMPD®, Transform Fusion, and a small group personal training class. Our instructors are certified in multiple formats, ACE and AFFA certified, and come with a vast variety of experiences that help us relate to our students.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
We love our city and community, which lends to that family feel we have at our Studio. It’s a great place to start out.
