Breathe Body and Mind, West Springfield

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
You will find a well-rounded mix of classes to benefit your mind and body with focus on balance, stretching, core strength, flexibility, toning, aerobic conditioning and relaxation. Our studio space is welcoming and our class sizes are small, creating a non-intimidating and friendly environment.

Exercise is challenging. How do you keep clients motivated and engaged?
We offer a mix of classes, from yoga and Pilates to core conditioning and more. This provides the opportunity to try new workouts to challenge your body and mind in different ways. You might want a gentle stretch class one day and a powerful PiYo workout on another! We’ve got you covered.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
I have experienced the benefits of exercise for years and wanted to share it. I became a group fitness instructor and Personal Trainer. Exactly one year ago I left a fruitful 20+ year career to open Breathe – a place where people feel welcome, healthy and happy . . . and look forward to going to!

What do you love most about your job?
Helping people to feel empowered and healthy and watching people enjoying their workout. My greatest reward is a beaming smile after a great workout and seeing people realize how strong they really are . . . both mentally and physically.
