Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexandra Sanabria.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Alexandra. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Cashe and I started a gym down the street. I was Head Trainer and Cashe was a Yoga instructor and Front Desk Manager. Niki was one of our clients, who we became great friends with.
We worked at the gym for over 3 years. We loved what we did and we build lifelong bonds with many of the clients.
Things began to change on the managements end, so we decided that it was time for something different. Niki approached us with the opportunity in investing in us to open a gym.
Of course, we took the offer. I ran home and within days I had a full-blown business plan together. Within weeks we had found a location and were ready to sign the lease.
May 15th 2016 is the date we opened. We had awesome clients who helped us build and transform the fitness studio. They helped us paint, build palettes, and design the studio.
We opened the studio for one reason; to help as many people in the Kennesaw area use fitness as tool to build confidence, strength and true happiness. We wanted to use fitness to changes lives and help bring the superhero out of everyone who walked in our doors.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It’s funny when I was first doing research, I read multiple articles saying businesses usually don’t make a profit until after the third year.
I waived my hand to the statements and just knew it would be different for us. We are in about a year and a half, and so far, the statement seems to hold up.
Owning and running a business is extremely tedious, stressful, and can leave you hopeless at times. However, I always remember one thing, why we are actually doing it.
We do it because we love it and we love our clients. That very thought brings us back every day.
I would not trade this for any other job or even a more successful business. The journey is a beauty in the making, and it wouldn’t be perfect without the struggle.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Body & Life Transformations – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We are a small fitness studio who focuses on short effective sessions for the busy client who wants to get back in shape, lose weight, or just live overall healthier.
Our clients rave about our community and family we have built over the years. We care deeply for each and every client and their success. It shows in how we run our studio and treat our clients.
We also create a very non- intimidating environment, as many newbies coming to us for help. Our team and clients are extremely supportive, motivating, and nonjudgmental.
We offer 30 minute Small Group Fitness Classes, where we scale all workouts to different fitness levels. Our clients love that we have a modification for every exercise in every workout. We have clients with hip replacements, plantar fasciitis, achy knees and joints, pinched nerves, torn meniscus, etc, so we do a great job working around pains and injuries.
We also offer a 30-minute Restorative Yoga class to help our clients de-stress, improve their core strength and flexibility, and peace of mind.
We offer Personal Training and even some Zumba as well!
I’m most proud of how we are really changing people’s lives and watching accomplish things they NEVER thought possible. We have 50-year-old clients running Spartan Races and competing in bikini contests.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We have some pretty big plans for the future of our clients. They always come first. Beginning in October we will add Weightlifting classes and next year we will add in some really COOL stuff that we haven’t revealed yet 🙂
