Good day ladies and gents! Today we have decided to one up it again and go with two new, happy couple co-hosts. This episode is about making an impact in the diverse and crowded Health & Fitness industry. All while we focus on how they are living a healthy, balanced, business lifestyle. This is demonstrated perfectly by today's co-hosts, Chris and Whitney Carullo who choose to Liven Up. These two are a young couple that fulfilled their dream since college of opening their own fitness business.
Originally their plan was to open a small personal training studio with just them training their clients. We fast forward four years later and they have a 7,000 sq feet facility, 350 members, seven full-time employees, ten all together. They have built a healthy business and a great brand here in the Lehigh Valley.
I have been able to get to know them both personally and professionally over the past two years. Located in Bethlehem Pennsylvania, their facility and brand are known as Liven Up Health and Fitness.
