We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrea Everingham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrea, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
After struggling with my own weight, I wanted to help others succeed with their goals in health. I had lost 50 pounds and felt so much better! I started with taking some nutritional classes. After that, I wanted to help others with fitness as well. That’s when I found Piloxing (mix of pilates and boxing). It was my 1st certification and everything grew from there.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I feel like we are more of a community than a some of the chain places out there. Everyone loves that we offer non-membership based group fitness classes.
It wasn’t easy, there have been times when we have had no sign ups or only 1 or 2 people. I had always believed even if we are only helping 1 person, it is worth it.
When 2020 happened, like with most businesses it was hard. I started selling clothing online which I found that I love doing too! When we opened the studio back up it wasn’t easy either. We ended up closing the smoothie bar we had and moving into a space that is shared with a Chiropractor. It’s a smaller workout area, but it still works! The only thing now we struggle with is all the chain places around us. I am hoping that people see the value we bring to the community. We have some amazing, caring instructors.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
That’s easy!! In the summer we would take some hiking trips, find local small businesses to support and eat at, and go out paddleboarding on the lakes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband Kris. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have made the jump to be in business for myself. Also my Mom, Nyla. She was always so supportive of me. She was my 1st Piloxing class regular as well.
