Today we’d like to introduce you to Leslie Hopkins.
Leslie, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
By marrying my passions of real estate and wellness.” Throughout my sales and leasing career in real estate, I worked closely with residential and corporate leasing towers in a myriad of downtown markets. With an increase of development in multi-family residential towers I saw a trend in developers providing attractive living space amenities with fitness center options making it possible to forgo the need for gym memberships entirely. With the added convenience of residents utilizing their onsite fitness amenities, I thought why not optimize their experience by bringing fitness experts for individual training and group classes directly to them? We eventually expanded our wellness services to include mobile spray tanning and massage. Our primary initiative is to conveniently bring wellness to the city. Working out in a home environment reduces the hassle of commuting to a gym or wellness center, creating ease and convenience for the residential communities that we serve. It’s simply out the front door, a quick elevator ride and we are there to greet you!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s a marathon not a race” Every individual has their own unique fitness needs and it is our goal to match our clients with a wellness professional that expertly guides them in achieving their desired results. We paced our first year of growth to primarily focus on recruiting quality instructors and trainers to the UYF ambassador community. Early on, we realized having the best wellness experts to service our communities would take time before continuing our expansion throughout the Houston market. This decision has resulted in UYF successfully providing Houston residents with the most knowledgeable and experienced wellness experts in the industry.
Please tell us about your work.
We take the hassle out of the workout hustle” We specialize in bringing wellness experts directly to residential and corporate communities for the ease and convenience of on-location fitness training, group instruction, mobile spray tanning, therapeutic massage and wellness coaching. I am most proud of the UYF wellness experts & their ongoing commitment to serve by bringing their vast knowledge of wellness expertise to the Houston community. It’s exciting to continue aiding in the growth of health and wellness relationships with experienced wellness professionals and bringing on-location wellness opportunities to Houston residents.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Health is wealth” & “Success is the by-product of helping others” Success to me is maintaining a healthy body and mind to live life to its fullest and to help others along the way. If you don’t have optimal health, it can be very challenging to do either successfully.
