Wellness isn't just about looking good—it's about feeling strong, breaking barriers, and building communities that thrive. In this deeply inspiring episode of GetSetWithLissette, I sit down with Jennifer Laing and Sharon Woodward, co-owners of Be Dope Fitness, a dynamic wellness brand rooted in purpose and powered by passion. Their mission? To uplift the communities they serve by making fitness, health, and wellness accessible and authentic for all. 🏋🏾♀️💚🔥
Through transparency and vulnerability, Jennifer and Sharon share how fitness became a lifeline for each of them—shaping not only their bodies but their lives. With only 7.1% of certified personal trainers in the U.S. being African American, they are defying the odds and redefining what representation looks like in the fitness industry.
🔍 What we’re diving into:
🔥 How fitness quite literally saved their lives and became their purpose
🛑 Eliminating points of entry and dismantling barriers in fitness spaces
📊 The staggering statistics around physical activity in Black and Hispanic communities—and what we can do about it
🌟 Their mission to inspire, empower, and build healthier communities, one person at a time
✨ Fitness isn’t just about movement—it’s about healing, connection, and access. This conversation is raw, real, and a must-watch for anyone passionate about equity in health and wellness.
