STOCKTON — A Stockton small business owner is realizing her dream of helping others achieve their own health and wellness dreams.
Lakeisha Little-Shaw is celebrating the opening of her new gym, The F.I.T. Me , along W. Weber Avenue.
“The F.I.T. Me stands for ‘focus, inspired and transformed.’ It’s a small space but we do a lot in here,” she said. “Small group sessions, yoga, pilates, HIIT workouts. We are working on getting Zumba.”
It’s about 500 square feet, and even though the space is small, Little-Shaw has big dreams.
“Having the gym space solidifies my purpose in what I am trying to do with people’s health,” she said.
Her life’s mission is to improve the mental and physical health of others in her hometown. That’s why the mother of five and sex abuse survivor opened her small business called The SHAW Bar next door two years ago which provides personalized meal plans and nutrition counseling.
“We are going to offer a lot of free things for the community because we want this to be accessible to a lot of individuals who would not have access to something like this otherwise,” she said.
