Patch: How long have you been doing business in town?
Angela Begin: We have been in business since 2002, and opened the studio in Carrollwood in 2017.
Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you’re in, and how did you get started?
Angela Begin: I was never a fan of the traditional gym- the time commitment, sweating in front of others, signing a contract...When I learned about this concept and tried it out, and was hooked! I love what I do, watching others keep or regain their independence, achieve their goals, improve the quality of their life!

Patch: What's the most common piece of advice you give to customers?
Angela Begin: It's just 20 Minutes a week- If you don't have the time now, you will feel it later. Every small change adds up and never give up. It took time to get where you are and it will take time to meet your goals, the most important thing is consistency.
Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?
Angela Begin: Watching our clients achieve and surpass their goals, improving their quality of life!
Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?
Angela Begin: We are here for our clients and stand behind our program. We don't have contracts or membership fees. If you don't come in because you are out of town or ill, you aren't paying for something you aren't using. We charge per session. If you prepay and decide not to continue, we will refund the balance of your account! There is nothing to loose! Did I mention that the first one is free?
