The studio was opened in early February by two women whose long-term goals synchronized perfectly.

Vickie Gambill has a master’s degree in exercise physiology and more than 10 years of experience as a personal trainer. She competes professionally in women’s bodybuilding and has taught Zumba for more than five years.

Her business partner, Lori Cochran, is her own weight-loss success story, having dropped a significant amount of weight through exercise and a medically supervised diet. She has become certified as a personal trainer and Zumba instructor.

The studio offers one-on-one personal training sessions, from the “I’ve never exercised before” to “I want to compete professionally.” The studio also offers weekly small-group exercise classes including cardio conditioning, barre core, aerial yoga and Zumba. Sign up in advance on the website, www.fitnleanxercise.com.

Personal training sessions are $50 for an hour or $30 for a half-hour, with package discounts. Aerial fitness, barre core and cardio conditioning classes start at $15, with discounts for multiple class sign-ups. Zumba is $5 for walk-in or $40 for a monthly pass.
