The final episode of the #SWEATLOCALCLT podcast is here.

The Urban MVMNT crew talks about what they are up to next, how they plan to fitness now that they're civilians again, and some parting tips for our members who are looking for a new fitness home.

While the ending is bittersweet, we cannot express how much the past 10+ years have meant to us.  Whether you were a part of our community for 1 week or 10 years, we're honored to have been able to be a part of your fitness journey.  

Thank you and always KEEP MVNG. 

Kristen Bousquet is an incredibly engaging and interesting human.  

And we mean interesting in a flattering way, not like the new intern at your office that participates in Civil War reenactments. 

She's a self-made entrepreneur who carries probably the most judged title in all of the professional titles currently - an Instagram Influencer

We know what you're thinking...EW. STOP ALREADY. 

But if you're willing to hear Kristen's story, listen to us rap on social media + marketing strategy, and openly talk about the judgment that her profession receives...take a listen.  We guarantee you won't be disappointed.

This week's #SWEATLOCAL CLT podcast is a member highlight with Bree Bush. We talk about everything from growing up in the Dirty Myrtle, her experience as a cruise ship performer, and her rising modeling career. Listen to learn more about her and then say hey the next time you see her crushing a BUILD workout with us!

Julie Brauer and Leighann Mason are focused on preventative healthcare for the older generation. These two awesome Urban MVMNT members have teamed up with CarePods to allow seniors to age and train safely in their own homes. 

While this is probably not super relevant for our audience, anyone who has parents or grandparents that they would like to see stay physically active and self-sufficient should definitely listen in. 

We go into their roles, why they are passionate about this, and how to start the convo with your parents about their plans (hint: it involves wine).

This is a common question we get asked by prospective new members and one that our current members get asked frequently by their ecosystem when they share that they workout at Urban MVMNT - so we figured we'd break down how to best answer that question. 

Jenn Gallardo is not only a devout member at Urban MVMNT, but she's also an incredibly talented photographer.  We asked Jenn on the podcast to discuss how she is currently in the planning + action stages of taking her photography skill set and making it her full-time career.  The vast majority of humans have something they're passionate about - but very few ever get to turn it into their livelihood (either by choice or by fear).  It was awesome hearing Jenn's transparency in the obstacles that she faces to truly going all-in on her passion.

As a side note, Jenn is responsible for the amazing photography that is displayed on our social media and website and we couldn't be happier to have her on the Urban MVMNT team. 

If you're in need of amazing photos for your wedding, event, portraits - anything...check out her work at www.thewildbloom.co 

You've got questions, we kinda have answers...and the answers we don't have we make up completely on the spot, so at the least, you'll be highly entertained. 

On this week's episode of the #SWEATLOCAL CLT podcast Isaac and Deuce talk with Urban MVMNT member Lexi Marsella.  Lexi talks with us about how her willingness to take chances has led to some big adventures (like being on an MTV reality show!), what being an "Influencer" even means and of course we threw some fitness talk in there as well.  Take a listen and then let us know - if you could be on any reality show, which would it be??

Josh and Stephanie Norris are the face and brain trust of Green Brothers Juice, even though the venture was originally conceived  with two other Norris brothers who are still involved in the business.  However, these two have grown their healthy and tasty empire into several Charlotte locations and are excited about the future for their niche market.

On this episode, the Urban MVMNT crew get together to discuss our newly announced license model that will allow us to expand the brand into other cities around the US - very exciting stuff!

We also touch on the Friday Instagram debates we've been posting and analyzing your feedback on those (hilarious) and finally we tease our newest offering that will be launching later this year.
