And the Winners Are…
The June Studio Tour started in 2021 as a reentry into gyms and fitness studios after the shut down from the pandemic, but it has grown into a showcase of a bunch of different studios all over the area in a short period of time. And I love it that way! But the most invaluable part of the tour for me is all of the people that I meet in June. All of the instructors, studio owners, community members and gym goers who welcome me to their workout with open arms. And that warm reception is never lost on me.
So these awards are nothing more than a little fun way to wrap up the tour. Sure, they are just my personal opinion, and I always invite you to go check out a workout on your own and form your own damn opinion! But at the end of every studio tour I am in absolute awe of what I just experienced and some standouts need to be noted…
