Meet the Owners
Wendy Smith and Stefanie Mwaura are single mothers, best friends, and women of faith with a shared mission: to create a place where everyone is welcome and faith is foundational. Guided by their faith and trust in God, they embraced the call to lead this gym with purpose, heart, and intention.
Rooted in three core values — Faith, Fitness, and Family — their vision goes far beyond workouts. What began as membership grew into a deep sense of belonging, as they were drawn to the gym’s warm, family-centered atmosphere and life-giving community. When the opportunity to become owners arose, they said yes, led by their love for the people and the mission God placed before them
