Fitness with PJ/The Studio support women who are ready to take control of their health, willing to try and to put in the work, and who value their health and time. When women are strong physically they become stronger mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Our purpose is to give women the tools (and the motivation) to accomplish that. The Studio brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the health and fitness field, as well as years coaching women. They bring compassion, empathy and a little tough love when needed to help support their clients meet their fitness goals.

Question: How are you supporting other local businesses?

Also 90% of our other products like cleaning and office supplies, are purchased from B.C.-based companies.
