Hey goal getters, and welcome to a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. I’m Kristen Geil, editor-in-chief of aSweatLife.com. We know a LOT is changing, and fast, and the uncertainty, the change in routine, and the social distancing can be a lot for a brain to handle. That’s why we decided to use this feed to bring you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time-...

Eddie Sandoval set out to bring a traditional food from his homeland to the masses—while supporting those who shared his heritage. Betina Gozo has used her influence as a celebrity trainer to marshall resources for children in need, through the Dance With Mweyne Foundation . And Steve Umberger , co-host Maggie’s dad, used his theatrical talents in an entirely new way, inspiring dialogue between ve...

During this quarter of the #WeGotGoals podcast, we've had the opportunity to interview guests who have big goals to contribute generously to their respective communities. I couldn't help but recall an impactful episode we shared last season - a round table discussion among four separate guests about making wellness accessible and inclusive for all. On this episode, Cindy Kuzma chats with Caullen H...

Sarah Larson Levey, founder and CEO of Y7 Studio , hopped on stage as our keynote speaker, visibly pregnant and spilling truths at the #SweatworkingSummit January 25 and 26. And along with dropping knowledge ("It's like this now") the opening date of Y7's Chicago location (March 12) like one of the albums that plays in class, Larson Levey also opened up about the tough moments that came with build...

Anne Mahlum could write a book on audacious goals. First, she went from running a regular route past a shelter to launching a national non-profit, Back on My Feet , that uses logging miles as a way to combat homelessness. Then, she started a chain of fitness studios— [solidcore] —that’s gone from two locations to 68 and counting since just 2013. And oh yeah, she’s also run a marathon on every cont...

Robert Brace is, to say the least, a man of many interests. A London-born former ballet dancer, he now resides in New York as the founder of Brace Life Studios. His nickname in the wellness world? The "Mind-Body-Soul Connector," from his deep understanding and critical thinking on the ways our brains, bodies, and spirituality interact and influence each other. On this episode of #WeGotGoals, you'l...

Long after they moved from Mexico to Wichita, Kansas, Eddie Sandoval’s parents still savored the taste of home. Each time the family went back to Mexico for a visit, they’d pick up some pinole—roasted, ground corn that’s made into baked goods and drinks. Eddie remembers mixing it with water to quench thirst in the summer, and sipping it warm with cinnamon and sugar in the winter. Wichita has a siz...

On this episode of #WeGotGoals , we heard from Steve Umberger, professional theater director and creative director at Playworks Group. After founding and leading the first and only professional theater company in Charlotte, North Carolina for 25 years, Umberger shifted gears to make what he loved about theater - its ability to connect people on the most human level - the doorway into important con...

Celebrity Trainer Betina Gozo and I met in a gym before "Celebrity Trainer" came before her name, though she's always had a larger-than-life spirit. With a light and infectious energy, she's a human tractor ray. It was only natural that we took our in-class relationship to the next level: after a few workouts led by Betina, I asked her to be my friend. And over these years we've seen each other gr...

In the spirit of our current "Contributing Generously" theme, we went back to a past podcast guest who's deeply involved in the intersection of Chicago's public schools and health and wellness. Meet Alison Rootberg, a long-time friend of aSweatLife and founder of Wellness4Every1 , a Chicago wellness company building strategic partnerships to fund arts and physical education opportunities for Chica...

Now that Thanksgiving has passed and the calendar reads December, there’s no denying the holiday season is upon us. In the spirit of gratitude and giving, we at the #WeGotGoals podcast have chosen to focus our fourth, and final, segment of season 3 on the theme of Contributing Generously. It’s not really a stretch for us—all along, we’ve noticed most of the goal-getters we have on the show aren’t...

"The right thing is always the right thing." That quote is inscribed on the wall at Fitt 's headquarters in Pittsburgh where brothers Anthony and Joe Vennare built their location-based wellness discovery empire. And, more importantly, it drives every decision the company makes. I spoke to Anthony Vennare, CEO and co-founder of Fitt for this week's episode of #WeGotGoals at the absolute perfect mom...

It's not every day you get to talk to someone who's Kardashian-adjacent (although we love catching up with Gunnar Peterson whenever we can). So it was with a little bit of stomach-fluttering that I dialed in to interview Autumn Calabres e, a 15-year veteran trainer who first made her mark in the industry with Beachbody's on-demand workouts and has since expanded into nutrition, cookbooks, a clothi...

The Barre Code - an immensely goal-focused fitness brand - gathers its franchisees for a conference once a year to provide support, guidance and tools for growth in the year to come. Rare is it that one is able to sit down in a room of entrepreneurs who are creating versions of the same business in different parts of the country. Sure, in franchising there are variables. Location, competition, sat...

Mason Levey didn’t intend to start a nationally recognized yoga studio chain, but over six years ago he and his wife Sarah Levey came across the need to connect people to the benefits of yoga in a more palatable, modern way. They started Y7 Studio, a music-driven hot yoga concept in Brooklyn, and today, Mason still sits on the board of Y7 as the business spreads across the country and the brand pe...
