Meet Bryan of SPENGA!
Meet Bryan, owner of SPENGA!
Howdy Everyone!!
I live in Columbus and have two SPENGA (Spin-Strength- and Yoga) studios in the area (Hilliard and Gahanna). I grew up on the West Coast in Oregon and then made my way to San Francisco before moving to Columbus for my husband. I didn't think I would ever call Ohio my home, but I have been here for going on 5 years, and have fallen in love with our communities!
Growing up in Oregon, I loved biking, running and just being as active as I could. However, as I grew older, my knees put an end to running, and I found I really had to focus on lower impact exercise. As a result, I started cycling almost every day.
When I found SPENGA, it came at the perfect time! I was needing something low impact, but also wanted a great workout. SPENGA combines spin, strength and yoga into a one hour session - I was in LOVE!
Why I started?
To do something I would be proud to be a part of and enjoy doing! My other business is not personally rewarding, so when I was looking for a new opportunity, I wanted something I would be passionate about, and hope others would be as well.
What I love about being a business owner?
There are a lot of perks to business ownership, but I love being able to work with people I want to spend time with. I love having a team that is passionate about what we do and is genuinely fun to work with!
What type of impact do you hope to have on those you meet and/or purchase your products?
SPENGA is so rewarding in this aspect - far more than I could have imagined. We are so lucky to have members show up every day that truly want to be there. Not only that, but they have fun and they are doing something for themselves - they are taking time away from the crazy world to take care of their physical and mental health. SPENGA and our team have truly changed lives - that's not an exaggeration. To be a part of this has truly been amazing.
Who or what inspires you:
My team and our members inspire me every day. To watch so many people working to support one another - to encourage and celebrate one another - is truly remarkable. My husband is also a great inspiration. He has always pushed me to go the extra mile in whatever I do.
What is your favorite piece of advice you’ve ever received or favorite quote?
In order for us to grow, we have to go outside of our comfort zone. I find this applicable in so many facets of life. When I see those around me growing, I know it is because they have faced challenges and pushed through.
What does Beauty mean to you?
I think beauty is found when someone feels comfortable in their own skin and they have found confidence in who they are.
What advice would you give your past self just starting your business?
Not to be afraid to take a risk. It won’t always pay off in the way you hope, but there is always something to be learned.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
That SPENGA is a space where people can come to be their best selves. We are a supportive community that helps our members achieve physical and mental health goals.
