"The right thing is always the right thing." That quote is inscribed on the wall at Fitt's headquarters in Pittsburgh where brothers Anthony and Joe Vennare built their location-based wellness discovery empire. And, more importantly, it drives every decision the company makes. I spoke to Anthony Vennare, CEO and co-founder of Fitt for this week's episode of #WeGotGoals at the absolute perfect moment: just after Fitt closed a fundraising round that included MINDBODY's participation as a strateg...

It's not every day you get to talk to someone who's Kardashian-adjacent (although we love catching up with Gunnar Peterson whenever we can). So it was with a little bit of stomach-fluttering that I dialed in to interview Autumn Calabrese, a 15-year veteran trainer who first made her mark in the industry with Beachbody's on-demand workouts and has since expanded into nutrition, cookbooks, a clothing line, and now a stint on E!'s Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian. But immediately, Calabrese's wa...

The Barre Code - an immensely goal-focused fitness brand - gathers its franchisees for a conference once a year to provide support, guidance and tools for growth in the year to come. Rare is it that one is able to sit down in a room of entrepreneurs who are creating versions of the same business in different parts of the country. Sure, in franchising there are variables. Location, competition, saturation, population density all play a factor, but The Barre Code tries to make owning a fitness stu...

Chances are, if you've been a runner, a cyclist, or even a studio fitness-er for a decent amount of time, you've battled injury at some point. In their new book Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries, Carrie Jackson Cheadle and Cindy Kuzma address not just the physical side of recovering from injury, but also the mental side. Calling this a book doesn't do it justice, though; Rebound is really more of a resource and a workbook, with nearly 50 thought-provoking exer...

Tune in to aSweatLife’s channels (like our podcast, Instagram, or the blog; wherever you like to connect – we’re there) and you’ll hear us talk about goals or goal setting in some capacity. To put it lightly, we heart them, big time. But especially with the aSweatLife Ambassador program (which you can read more about applying to here!) our conversation is driven by goals. Every year, after we open the Ambassador application and welcome in a new crew of goal getters, we kick off the year by expl...

There’s a chill in the air, a blue line down the street, and Grant Park is getting stocked up with Porta-Potties. That can only mean one thing: It’s Chicago Marathon week! As 40,000 runners prepare to travel 26.2 miles around Chicago this Sunday, three of your #WeGotGoals co-hosts—Kristen, Cindy, and Jeana—sat down and relived some of our marathon memories … the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It turns out, running produces both highly hilarious moments and deep revelations that sha...

John Bogosian, Founder and CEO of ZingFit, is easily spotted at wellness conferences - he walks a floor confidently and has a natural gravitational pull that draws people in to talk to him - that, and he's always in a ZingFit hat and a blazer. After a few conferences where I saw this same phenomenon over and over, I had a distinct impression of him as intimidating. Then at a conference in New York City, he approached our booth and earnestly asked a couple of questions, and then I asked a coupl...

Talking to Anna Renderer, host of a milion POPSUGAR Fitness videos you've no doubt seen and sweated to on YouTube, is a weird cross between feeling like you're being hugged and feeling like you're getting a shot of adrenaline straight to the goal-getting part of your brain. She exclaims, she gushes, she lets you in on her secrets—and you're left with a completely different mindset on your goals on to-do list. I met Renderer in August at the MINDBODY Bold Conference, where we sat for an intervie...
