This episode is a deep dive into the heart of modern fitness, led by one of its most influential figures. Joining me today is Lavinia Errico, the visionary co-founder of Equinox Fitness Clubs. Lavinia isn't just a pioneer in the fitness industry, she's a passionate advocate for a life that's healthier, more fulfilled, balanced, and brimming with joy.

She's dedicated to helping others achieve these same goals, inspiring people to delve into self-awareness and embrace transformative journeys. With her belief in enjoying the journey and embracing the process, Lavinia has shaped not just her own life but the lives of countless others towards seeing, feeling, and living remarkable results.

Today, you’ll hear about how Lavinia's career in fitness and biohacking began with the birth of the modern fitness movement and Equinox as she shares challenges and triumphs of starting a fitness revolution in 1980s New York. You’ll also learn about the unique ethos that set Equinox apart and how building a business with family shaped its upward trajectory.

This conversation is threaded with insight into the life of an entrepreneur, the realities of being a CEO, and how Lavinia intuitively balanced her professional journey with motherhood. Lastly, you’ll get a taste of Lavinia's wellness rituals, her philosophy as a lifelong learner, and her exciting new chapter with MOVEJOY, aimed at creating a more stress-free, joyous workout experience for everyone.
