From being a three‑sport athlete in the 80s to joining Bally’s Health Club and falling in love with her Reebok step bench and the GIn Miller step aerobics tape, Kelly realized early that her true passion was “getting better together” on a team. She reflects on how the industry has evolved from Jack LaLanne–inspired health clubs to today’s world of lifestyle brands, wearables, AI, and hybrid memberships. Through all the trends, one thing has stayed the same: people show up consistently where they feel seen, supported, and inspired, and that place is community. If you’ve ever been part of a team, class, or boot camp, this episode will help you reconnect with your own fitness story and the communities that shaped it. -- Let’s connect!
