How to Stay Healthy and Productive During Quarantine with Sami Fuentes

Today on the show, we have Sami Fuentes, a VCU grad and a good friend. We talk about a wide variety of subjects including lessons learned from her health and fitness journey, Anthem & VCU Health’s responses to coronavirus, staying sane and productive in quarantine, and how to follow your passion and start a side hustle.  I hope you enjoy this episode and please leave a review as it helps me grow and improve the show.

FlexRVA: The Importance of Having a Sense of Community in your Gym

In this episode, I interview the local boutique fitness studio, Flex RVA, formerly known as Styles Group Fitness. Flex RVA specializes in a few different training styles from 1 on 1 personal training or small group personal training with up to 4-6 people at a time, and group classes like these here. In this episode, we dive into the story and vision of Flex, their current class offerings, the steps of motivation and taking action, the role of community in fitness, and how small fitness studios can improve community health. This was a great interview with a great, local organization. If you haven't checked out Flex, head on over for their community classes on Saturdays.

Building a Healthier Richmond

When it comes to health, the focus is often on individual health. You see it online, in movies, on Instagram. You read about it in books and magazines. But, health is not only about individuals; it is about the community. This podcast looks to help each of you create a healthier life, so RVA, or whichever city you live in, can become a healthier community. Our goal is to bridge the gap between health and healthcare by talking to individuals like yourself in the community, educating the community on healthy practices and lifestyles, and talking with local organizations on how they see health and how their products and philosophies can help create a healthier region. If you want to be a guest or want o to hear from a local individual or company, please shoot me a message. Together, you and I can help make Richmond a beacon of community health on the east coast, if not the nation.
