BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Women, get in where you fit in!
Just down Highway 280 in the Narrows, there is a new business in the neighborhood, Fitt Chick Studios, that believes “every step towards personal growth, no matter how small, is a step worth honoring.”
The idea of empowering women through physical fitness came from the journey of its owner, 39-year-old Stacy Hicks.
“A little over four or so years ago, I was about 60 something pounds heavier, and I just wasn’t happy,” Hicks said. “And so I started working out and I found my passion for it and I got certified. I was very lucky to find a job personal training.”
The mother of two was presented the opportunity to open her own studio.

On Jan. 5, Fitt Chick Studios opened in Birmingham.
As a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor, she is dedicated to helping others discover the same freedom, joy, and confidence that she found through movement, discipline and community.
Hicks said the group that attends the classes at the studio are more like a family.
“Everybody’s excited to see each other, to catch up. Everybody encourages each other,” she said. “And, you know, we have a great time and we’re all here to push each other and encourage each other through our workouts and through life.”
Megan Esposite, a client at Fitt Chick Studios, said they’re having fun and seeing results, but it’s more than that.

“It’s a community of ladies,” Esposite said. “We come in here, we chat about kids. We have younger generation, the teenagers, young women. We help them out. It’s just a community of wonderful ladies.”
Fitt Chick Studios has everything you need to for your fitness journey, including battle ropes, smith machine, cable machine, free weights and so much more.
