Meet LaWanda Brokenborough of Kangoo Club in Metro Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to LaWanda Brokenborough.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I am a group fitness & dance instructor, choreographer, marathoner, speaker, and trainer. I am the owner & founder of Kangoo Club Atlanta- Georgia’s authorized dealer of Kangoo Jumps rebound shoes and provider of Kangoo Jumps fitness classes. I am also the owner and founder of Aerobics Delivered- a full-service mobile fitness and dance company.

As a former couch potato and overeater, I know all too well about the struggles of weight loss. I have weighed as much as 216 pounds. While working in hospitality being overweight, overworked, and underpaid, I got the idea out of nowhere to become a fitness instructor. With no fitness or athletic background, I decided to switch gears in the middle of the road of my life and jump head first into fitness. 15 years and over 16,000 fitness classes later, I hold over 10 group fitness certifications. I am the first person in Georgia to teach Kangoo Power classes. I am also licensed to train other instructors to teach Kangoo Power. I have been featured on CNN, Fox 5’s Good Day Atlanta, and the TI & Tiny Family Hustle reality show.

Has it been a smooth road?
There have been some rough patches but more smooth than rough. I love what I do and some bumps won’t stop me. Some of my struggles have been doing business with dishonest people and not having a solid supporting cast. Those problems have now been solved.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Kangoo Club Atlanta story. Tell us more about the business.
Kangoo Club Atlanta is very unique because we offer classes that 99.9% of facilities don’t. We offer Kangoo Jumps fitness classes. That’s our specialty! These classes incorporate the use of Kangoo Jumps rebound shoes that absorb up to 80 % of the impact. This allows participants to workout without injury and joint stress while burning more calories! I am most proud to be the 1st licensed Kangoo Power instructor in Atlanta and the only instructor trainer in Georgia.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Fitness is unpredictable. However, it’s not going anywhere! I see more small boutique and personalized fitness businesses coming up as well as more things geared towards our aging population.
