Today we’d like to introduce you to Christine Austin.
Hi Christine, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
My name is Christine Austin and I have been a part of the West Chester community since I was 5yrs old. I have a love of fitness and came across a one-of-a-kind workout when I found SPENGA. SPENGA incorporates cardio, strength, and flexibility in an enthusiastic 1-hour workout. You begin with 20 min of spin, move on to 20 min of strength and finish with 20n minutes of yoga. Throughout the hour a personal instructor is there to guide you through this workout. I was so passionate about this type of workout that I quit my job, became a personal trainer, became a SPENGA instructor, and now the proud owner of SPENGA West Chester. We offer 1 free session and we guarantee that you will be hooked after 1 session. Not only is the workout amazing but also the community we have built at SPENGA is like family.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Unfortunately, this SPENGA franchise location was given a week’s notice that they would be closing. The community/members were beyond upset. My husband and I decided to look into purchasing and miraculously were able to reopen following a 3week closure. Our instructors were amazing and even invited our members to outside workouts to keep everyone engaged while we worked through the logistics. We had all members return and have now grown in membership by about 50 new members in 2 months.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I was a stay-at-home mother for years when my son was born with spina bifida. He has been a motivating factor in my drive to keep going and let nothing stop you. After all of the obstacles he has faced, with 43 surgeries and being confined to a wheelchair, he obtained his bachelor’s degree in theater and went off to work for Disney. So, at 48 yrs. old I decided to go back to school to become a personal trainer as I have always been into fitness and health. In 2020 I found SPENGA and it was a game-changer for me. Now as the proud owner of SPENGA and turning 50, I realize your dreams are never as far off as they seem and you can do anything you set your heart and mind to.
