OUR STORY
Hey there! We’re Lu and Shantell, two best friends who probably had no business starting a gym, but did it anyway because we couldn't stop talking about how we wanted to change the world.
What would it look like if women stopped performing and started actually knowing themselves? We had both done the work, the hard, uncomfortable, look yourself in the mirror kind of work, and we knew what was possible on the other side of it.
We also knew how lonely it felt to be struggling while everything on the outside looked fine. The perfect body, the relationship, the job, and still feeling like something was off. We'd been those women. We weren't interested in pretending anymore, and we weren't interested in coaching women from the surface either.
So we built something different, out of friendship first, and then out of everything we'd lived and learned combined.
That conversation is Lüsha, and now we're talking to ü. We're not going to pretend we have it all figured out, because we don't. But we will tell you the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, because that's what real love looks like. Something will be asked of you here. We're going to ask you to be honest with yourself, and that can feel scary.
That's okay.
You're allowed to be nervous. You're allowed to show up as a mess. We just aren't going to let you stay where you are, because we've seen what's on the other side of that honesty, and we promise you — it's worth it. You don't have to be perfect to start.
You just have to be willing.
