EPISODE 40: Celebrity Fitness Expert Andrea Metcalf joins me to tell me all about her latest business venture and passion: Studios Fuse. Chicago's very first "fitness mall," Studios Fuse features four amazingly fun and unique boutique work-out spaces: from indoor surf core to glow in the dark yoga. But I find out in our conversation that this isn't what defines Andrea: she's a long time fitness instructor, broadcaster and entrepreneur. She tells me about her five biggest influences - from Jane Fonda, who she got to sat down with and interview, to Chicago media leader and client/friend of her's, Larry Wert. Along the way, Andrea shares some amazingly astute observations on the ever-transforming health & fitness industry, collaboration both in the fitness studio and the TV studio and the importance of finding a work out that you love.

I reckon you'll find one you simply adore at Studios Fuse, located at 2215 N Halsted in Chicago. I'll meet you there for a juice and an avocado toast at their Juice RX bar after your amazingly entertaining and efficient workout :)

The music on today's show is "Your Heartbeat Is" by the sparking queen of the Chicago glitch pop scene and former guest of this very show, @emilybluemusic. You can find it wherever you listen to your music <3
