#24: Empowering Women with Jane DO
Have you ever met someone who just oozes confidence? Every word they say, every step they take, every move they make is done with purpose and focus. If it seems like you can’t be that confident, well…you haven’t met the ladies of Jane DO, who are empowering women through total body workouts designed to lift spirits while kicking booties.
Jane DO is a fitness brand crafted by former Radio City Rockettes Jacey Lambros and Danielle DeAngelo. They’ve developed musically charged, energy driven, cross-training workouts that offer variety and cater to every woman. The classes mix aerobics, strength training, and flexibility and redefine the word “healthy.” Jacey and Dani are on a quest to create the largest community of the world’s most powerful women—confident and ready to take on the world.
And after listening to this episode, I wouldn’t bet against them.
