“Sanity over vanity” FLEXcity Fitness founders helping us keep fit:
FLEXcity Fitness is a fitness studio that focuses on high-intensity interval training, better known as HIIT, and was recently announced as a recipient of the ATHENA PowerLink Award for 2021. Established in 1999, ATHENA PowerLink is a national mentoring program designed to increase the growth and profitability of women-owned businesses. Following the closing of Michigan's fitness centers in March, Trista and Jenny moved toward digital offerings to keep clients engaged from the safety of their own homes. They also took on the task of opening a new fitness studio in Lansing in preparation for the return of in-person workouts.
