DEANNA PIZITZ, AMY MCCOOL, MEREDITH LATIMER PURE BARRE

Women

Deanna Pizitz, Amy McCool and Meredith Latimer are owners of Pure Barre 280. Pizitz opened the ïŹtness studio almost ïŹve years ago with two other partners. She was previously an instructor at the Pure Barre in Homewood. McCool and Latimer, both previously instructors, bought the previous partners’ shares of the business last November. They all credit Pure Barre for transforming not only their bodies, but their lives. The three joined forces to create a place where women feel empowered and inspired to reach their full potential. Pure Barre is not just a workout, but a culture unto itself that encourages and supports women who come there to become the person they aspire to be. Pizitz not only saw instant results from the Pure Barre technique, but was drawn to the vibrant atmosphere. “I always wanted to go into business for myself because my parents were in business for themselves,” she said. The result is a place where women can thrive. “Really it is all about helping and empowering women to become the best they can be,” said Pizitz. They ïŹnd inspiration in “the women who come in our studio! They have all had different life experiences, and they have pushed through adversities and continue to strive to be stronger women,” said Pizitz. They want everyone to feel a part of the studio they have created and know “that it is a welcoming, warm environment where women come to work out and encourage each other to become the best version of themselves.”

TONYA YOUNGBLOOD AND JESSICA WILDER SOUTHERN ROOTS Tonya Youngblood and Jessica Wilder opened Southern Roots almost two years ago. The boutique specializes in clothing for ladies and tween girls. “Over the years, Jessica and I have helped others in their businesses, so we are very familiar with running a business. We decided to take the leap and open our own business,” Youngblood said. They were inspired by their own love of fashion and shopping, and they are passionate about providing stylish and comfortable clothing for ladies of “all shapes and sizes at affordable prices,” Youngblood said. “Our customers inspire us on a daily basis. We love when they come in and say that they love shopping in our store.” Southern Roots has something for everyone. “We want people to know that even though we are a small boutique, we carry a variety of sizes and that our inventory is constantly changing. You could see something new every day.”
