HER STORY ⟡ Grace of Tremble
Strong Bodies. Strong Women. Strong Community. Make it Tremble Columbus.
Hey all! My name is Grace and I live in Columbus, OH, but am originally from Charleston, SC. As a 2017 Ohio State alumni, I bleed scarlet and gray. I knew Tremble would flourish here, and the Columbus community would identify with the Tremble brand as much as I do.
I love teaching fitness, and pilates specifically; helping people reach their goals, and meeting so many amazing people. My dream has always been to own my own studio. I couldn’t do it without my co-owner and husband, Adam, who is also a current Buckeye.
Why I started:
The opportunity presented itself, so I quit my corporate job and opened my own studio, even though it was scary.
What I love about being a business owner:
I love that being able to make my own community. Working at multiple gyms and fitness studios helped me see what does and doesn’t work.. I want Tremble Columbus to be a place where everyone feels accepted, strong, happy, appreciated, etc.. Even with a franchise, I can make this studio my own.
What type of impact do you hope to have on those you meet and/or who purchase your products?
I hope people get a hard ass workout, while being treated with kindness and respect. I want them to feel like they fit in, and enjoy themselves.
Who or what inspires you?
Every woman who has started her own business! It’s not easy, and I applaud every one of you.
What is your favorite piece of advice you've ever received or favorite quote?
Well behaved women rarely make history.
What does BEAUTY mean to you?
Strength. It can come from waking up in the morning and deciding to get out of bed and take on the day; choosing to go to that workout class; choosing to make strong choices and so on. Life is hard! We are all strong in our own ways, which is why I love being a fitness instructor - helping people get stronger in more ways than one. Showing up for yourself is half the battle.
What advice would you give your past self just starting your business?
It’s going to be HARD. There will be road blocks. Make sure you have options and a support system, and stay positive! It’ll be worth it.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
I’m open to feedback and suggestions. I am not an expert and am always willing to learn from others.. Also - I’m EXCITED! This is such a great group of women! I’m offering all TBB members 50% off their first TREMBLE Columbus class!
