Today’s interview is with Jess Fracalossi, Founder of the Handlebar. Jess opened the first HB studio in 2013, and has grown the brand to now 4 major neighborhoods in metro Boston, South Boston, Fenway, and Harvard Square and JUST OPENED, North Station.

After a few months in the startup fitness industry, Jess caught the entrepreneurial bug and saw an opportunity in indoor cycling. Jess started teaching spin, built a business plan, and raised enough capital to launch her first cycling studio in South Boston in 2013. On the heels of a successful launch in Southie, Jess opened The HB’s 2nd location in Fenway in 2014, and the third in Harvard Square in July of 2015.

Jess is committed to providing a top of the line experience to The HB rider community, and she works to continuously create an opportunity for personal and professional growth for her dedicated team.

In April of 2017, Jess launched Handle With Care, a philanthropic arm of the business dedicated to raising awareness on mental health and battling the stigma associated with mental illness.

It is Jess’s belief that there is nothing stronger than the power of positive energy and she hopes to continue bettering the lives of The HB riders and team through honest work, community engagement and a lot of SWEAT.

Before diving into fitness, Izzy Atkinson was working full-time as a Project & Team Manager at an Executive Search Firm. After running a health & wellness committee at her corporate job, she decided to take the plunge about a year and a half ago and dive into fitness full-time. She had been a fitness competitor years prior, and being involved in fitness and empowering women was always something she cared so much about, that it felt like a no-brainer to switch careers. Her mission as a fitness instructor, trainer, and coach is to empower others by helping her clients get both physically and mentally stronger. She is a huge advocate for talking about mental health, body image, eating disorders, etc., because, for a lot of people, they are very strongly linked to their fitness journey or why individuals are moving their bodies. She wants others to know we all share these same struggles and it is possible to get through them through self-empowerment and self-love. This leads her to what she is currently working on - her newest adventure, The Wildflower Project, a community for women to share their stories, their struggles, and to be able to talk freely about their mental health. She wants to promote normalcy around the everyday battles that so many of us face within ourselves and to help others learn to let their struggles become their strengths. WELCOME IZZY!

Today it’s Naomi on the mic, talking all things NON NEGOTIABLE! We all work. A lot.  We spend time with friends, family, pets, try to stay on top of business.

Personally, I cook. I eat. I drink. I am always on the go and I enjoy every moment. Let's face it-life is busy. We all glorify this act of ‘being busy’ that we sometimes forget about the importance of just being content with our lives. Non-negotiables are the things you will not negotiate on. They follow your values and principles and define not only what you will and won’t accept from others, but also what you will and won’t accept from yourself. They are the big-time deal breakers. They are the promises you keep to yourself, and they are unique to YOU & your situation. To ensure a happy, healthy life-these non-negotiable items should have one common theme; they should bring you complete and utter HAPPINESS and make you feel POSITIVE. Striving for personal excellence each and every day can bring us joy, positive thoughts as well as a great challenge. These non-negotiable items can shape us into the person we are. Having set principles to guide you will make you feel empowered and in control. LET'S GET TO LISTENING!

Sweat Fixx is a boutique fitness studio specializing in low impact, high-intensity full body row and sculpting workouts using a water rower. This is your one-stop shop for all cardio, strength and flexibility. Their goal is to build a community where each member finds their balance and gets their FIXX!

Elise has created a true fitness community through her studios where friends, family and coworkers show up with a few common goals: to work hard, sweat, feel energized but most of all have fun. The Sweat Fixx studio is like no other experience in the sense that it is a family. There is no judgment, no jealousy, everyone is working to better themselves and everyone is growing stronger as one community. Sweat Fixx is a studio that was built with everyone, everybody and every size in mind; for people who work out 6 days a week to people who haven’t worked out in six years.

Elise has overcome some serious hurdles both mental and physical to get to exactly where she is today and her story is nothing short of inspiring, motivating and extremely real.

Today on the podcast, I am sitting with Josh Crosby,  found of BDY SQD who just opened up their second location at the ink Block in the South End, Boston. Josh and his wife, Amy started Bdy Sqd out of a sheer passion to find better recovery methods for athletes.

Josh is an Ironman, world-champion rower and creator of group exercise programs Indo-Row and Shockwave. He became an ardent advocate of foam rolling and other trigger point therapies as a professional adventure racer and international fitness presenter. He has used these techniques to keep him race-ready treating everything from overuse injuries and joint pain to a two-year bout of Lyme Disease.

Amy Swift Crosby, a brand strategist and copywriter, comes to the health and wellness table with both professional and personal connections. Her own health journey has included everything from sciatica to lung disease and, as a writer and mother of two, she sees a need for a third space a place intended for reset. Her work and blog have helped hundreds of iconic and entrepreneurial ventures reach consumers with compelling, authentic messaging.

Both Josh and Amy share a strong belief in transparency, between brand and customer, which is integral to the BDY SQD culture. At Bdy Sqd, you will find infrared saunas, Norma tec recovery boots and stretch tables to fill your every recovery need.

BDY SQD is a way to make essential recovery protocols accessible for everyone not just for those with unlimited time and resources. Lets hear their amazing story!

We are going to have a conversation about how Jody created one of the most popular classes, operating 5 of her own Btone studios and 5 franchises sold. Btone doesn't fit neatly into any category. It is not Pilates, or barre or yoga or TRX. Btone is its own wild genius of exercise: and one that was formed out of a deep, universal need for an intelligent, sustainable approach to fitness that delivers real results. Btone is built around state-of-the-art equipment.

They’re custom-engineered Btone FITNESS arkeTONE, which they call “TONEy” for short, delivers a challenging, completely adjustable, and endlessly engaging experience that you'll feel for days after the workout.

Jody not only has created an incredibly effective workout, but she has created a community of fitness fanatics who, after trying just one class were HOOKED! Btone is 45 minutes of focus, and intensity that gets you sweaty, shaking and leaves you feeling better able to move through your life with energy, confidence balance, and ease. We are so excited to chat with Jody &  to hear what made Btone the incredible success that it is today!
