Today we’d like to introduce you to Lindsay Jackson.
Lindsay, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
It all began when my parents opened up a gym near my hometown in Southeast Michigan around 2003. Shortly after, I became a certified trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and have been training ever since. After moving to Texas in 2010, I worked as a trainer at a couple gyms in North Texas for a few years until opening my own studio in Denton with my husband in June of 2014. We started in a small, 1200 square foot space close to the Denton square, and grew and moved into our current 4000 square foot space 2.5 years later.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Considering what some businesses go through, especially in the early stages, we have a had quite a smooth road. We offer a bit of a unique atmosphere and have developed strong relationships with our clients that have turned into many great friendships. We have been very lucky over the last several years to achieve success we have had, and have the people that we do in our studio!
Optima Fitness Studio – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Optima Fitness Studio is a private training studio, offering one on one, or one on two training in 30 minutes or 60-minute sessions. We work with individuals of all ages and fitness levels. What sets us apart from training in a traditional gym is that everything is individualized, and everyone exercising in our studio is working with a trainer, so it remains private. Before beginning a training program, I meet with each person individually to chat about goals, health history, etc., as well as a movement screening to assess muscle imbalances that may be affecting their body as a whole. From there we can determine areas to strengthen, stretch, etc., and know a more specific direction to take their program so it provides the most benefit to them.
We are quite proud of where we are today, the relationships we’ve developed, as well as the results that our clients see and how fitness and exercise have changed their lives. The most rewarding part about my job is seeing our clients not only transform physically but more importantly improving their lives on a larger scale. Being able to perform tasks or projects they may have been unable to do before, as well as relieving pain issues that may have been impacting their lives for years.
