About Our Sponsor Pop Fit Studio: 5 YEARS of Inspiring Movement!
by Lisa Jeffries
In 2018 Christine DeFilippis’ dream came true when she and her husband Pat opened Pop Fit Studio in Havertown. Since then, she’s been on a mission to inspire joyful movement and make sure their members not only feel good about their workouts, but feel good about themselves and their bodies. Now, this May 8 - 12 they’ll be holding their 5th Anniversary event, with a week of Friends, Family and Fitness for FREE!
A special Studio Showcase is being held on Saturday, May 13th, when classes will be complimentary and open to the public, but registration is required. Win prizes, enjoy special offers and take part in lots of shopping to celebrate their 5 years of fun and inclusive fitness.
Located in Havertown above Applebee’s restaurant on West Chester Pike, Pop Fit Studio offers a variety of fun and inclusive fitness classes. Their facility includes two large studios, a dedicated barre and TRX (total body resistance exercise) studio as well as a large studio where they offer cardio dance, trampoline, strength training, boxing and an exclusive BungeeWorkout. Aside from in-studio classes, Pop Fit Studio also offers live-streamed classes and an on-demand website with recorded workouts.
What sets Pop Fit Studio apart from other gyms is their fun approach and shame-free atmosphere. Christine and her staff have created a variety of classes that incorporate fun and motivating music. “Music is the driving force in our classes,” said Christine. “When you find something you love you don’t think of it as a chore or obligation. You get up every day excited to make it a part of your day, and your life.”
The fitness programs at Pop Fit Studio are unique because they are Health At Every Size (HAES) aligned. They specialize in helping people make peace with food, enjoy exercise and reclaim the energy and time they lost due to diet and weight cycling. Christine aims to make fitness more inclusive and to help her clients know that health and fitness doesn’t have to have a specific look. She wants to change the industry from a weight-centered industry to a behavior-focused one and help other fitness professionals take a weight-neutral approach. “I knew I wasn’t alone and that many people struggled with this messaging. That’s why I was inspired to disrupt the fitness industry,” she explained.
In addition to their classes for adults, they also offer kids classes and private parties including bachelorette and girls’ nights out. Christine also hosts a weekly podcast called Breaking Body Bias, where she and her colleagues talk to inspiring people about their relationships with food and ideas about what being healthy really means.
Christine, Pat and their staff have not only created an environment that helps clients feel their best and that fits their lifestyles and schedules, but they make working out FUN! No wonder their members keep coming back for more. “It’s so rewarding and inspiring to see people with similar goals help each other succeed,” Christine said, proudly. Pop Fit Studio is conveniently located at 1305 West Chester Pike in Havertown. To learn more visit their website at www.PopFitStudio.com or call 484-453-8533. Come join their 5th Anniversary Celebration! M
