A spinning fitness instructor who lost 60 pounds through diet and an exercise regiment that included dozens of spinning classes recently opened a 450 square foot spinning studio in Williamston.
When Tina Brookhouse first started attending fitness classes, she felt uncomfortable because she was overweight. After losing 30 pounds, she got certified as an instructor and set a goal to “really help people who had to lose weight and keep them in the program.”
She now has her own studio on 311 W. Grand River in downtown Williamston. Brookhouse had to make slight renovations to the former nail salon to turn it into a studio.
“I have more of a passion of working with people who really have that obstacle of having a lot of weight to lose,” she says.
Brookhouse also teaches group cycling, gentle yoga, personal training and senior fitness. She says she may have to expand her space. Her contract allows for her to move a wall to expand.
“I’ve been open for a month and almost all of my classes are full already,” she says.
