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

Hi Angela, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Taking risks is essential to growth. And since growth is very much a part of my value set, I tend to look at it as necessity, welcoming it in rather than avoid it. The way we see risk and embrace risk or become risk averse is about our mindset. Some see risk as the unknown and fearful. The unplanned unknown and the what ifs outweigh the possibility. I believe Risk is about seeing the unknown as infinite opportunity, a place where everything is possible.

Risk has been a major factor in growing a business and in everything I do. It is what evolved a brand through a pandemic and into this new post pandemic world. It is what has helped me dive into owning a brick and mortar space and even seek out opportunities that not just grow me but also Sweat Remix. It is why this brand will keep evolving as our community members evolve.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets Sweat Remix apart is the holistic approach to wellness and physical change. Our classes and #ZenRageHeal process is about looking at all the moving parts of what makes us well, beyond just the workout. We are able to use a fitness to move through physical challenges and get to know where we face our own road blacks, where we feel stuck and how we move through them. If we can do a set of burpees, then we can definitely do hard things!

This process is the same skill set we can apply into our life when we check in with what is or isn’t working in our life, what isn’t keeping or sustaining our wellness, physically, spiritually, financially, whatever and allows us to claim what we want. It is an empowering invitation to reclaim self worth.

We mimic the same resiliency we use in a workout and apply it outside of class, too.

This becomes a very empowering process, where folks fully claim what they want.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh man! I wish someone would do this for me! I have recently moved to the Western Mass area after being away for over 20 years. So, so much of what I knew is no longer here!

If there is anyone who wants to be a tour guide for me, hit me up!

Well, like I said, being back to the place where I grew up carries a ton of nostalgia. So, I love to visit places that have lots of memories or sentimental value.

If you’re out here visiting Springfield, Massachusetts the first thing we will do is head over to Forest Park and take a walk. This park is beautiful and I will gladly take you through a brief history lesson of the park itself and share so many memories of my childhood as well. We can even head into the trails and get some hiking away from the curated gardens and frog ponds.

Next, I would take you to Spin that Records, one of my favorite places to dig through vintage music and vinyl. I have a pretty extensive collection and any chance I have to add in a new journey record or some jazz or even an obscure recommendation, I happily grab it and bring it back home!

For food, I love to take a drive to North Hampton and visit the quintessential New England town with tons of bohemian and eclectic shops, restaurants and nightlife. Or, if you would be in the mood for some home cooking, we can visit many of my Italian relatives who will most likely have something cooking every day of the week!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I dedicate this shoutout to my Dad. My forever motivation and constant reminder of my courage. My dad passed away suddenly from an aneurysm in 2015. My entire life changed at that moment. I got hit hard with grief and loss as a way to shake me up and change course.

After my dad passed, I got real honest clarity within myself and began branding and building Sweat Remix. I used my experience in suffering to create a process to help people move out of that stuck-ness and into their own calling. Sweat Remix is a way to change your body, your mindset and your life.

It was what I learned through grief and loss that allowed me to connect to my own bravery and live out something purposeful and aligned, in honor of my dad and the gift he gave me, which was to live the hell outta my life.

I will forever be grateful for what I have learned in his passing and will use it as a gift to help others.
