Haus of Innergy, a locally owned fitness studio specializing in group classes, is now open near East Louetta and Lexington roads, owner Shelita White-Russ said.
Meet the owner
White-Russ said her inspiration to open Haus of Innergy dates back to 2010 when she started her own fitness journey, initially feeling out of place and "searching for something that felt motivating and authentic."
In the years to follow, she said she went on to become a certified spin instructor and teach classes that combine fitness, culture and community. White-Russ said she continued to coach throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by shifting classes outdoors at local parks.
She said that from there, she wanted to open a studio rooted in community-driven fitness.
"Haus of Innergy Fitness Center is more than a place to work out; It’s a space where transformation happens from the inside out," she told Community Impact. "It was built to serve the community in a deeper way, combining high-energy fitness with purpose, connection and personal growth."
What they offer
Haus of Innergy offers a variety of group fitness classes, including Rhythmic Indoor Cycling, Fit Camp Bootcamp, Xtreme Hip-Hop Step and Beats & Burn. Clients can also book open gym hours with full access to equipment for an independent workout, according to the center's website.
White-Russ said the classes incorporate hip-hop music and empowering choreography to make the experience more than just a workout.
"It’s a place where people don’t just come to burn calories," she said. "They come to grow, connect, and become the strongest version of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally."
