We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jacqui Redmond. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jacqui below.
Jacqui, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
As soon as we found the space for Lagree House, we knew it was special. The huge, open roof is unique and gorgeous, and we wanted to use it as a part of our story. After thinking through probably 50 different potential business names that didn’t offer much depth or meaning, as soon as we said “LAGREE HOUSE”, it felt right. The peaked roof line and cozy feeling inside our space fits perfectly with the name. In addition, we genuinely want our clients to feel welcomed and “at home” inside our doors.
Jacqui, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Jamie and I opened up Lagree House to provide a space for a hardcore workout, but also a community that genuinely cares. We are both living and breathing in every detail of the workout, the physical space, the way we market ourselves, and of course, the client experience.
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
Jamie and I met through our husbands who played football together in college and have been great friends ever since. Coming from two very different professional backgrounds, I would never have dreamed we would work together, let alone run a business. Our varied experiences and different POVs on life, business, and the fitness industry really helps to push our team and eachother to greater success.
Any advice for managing a team?
We have genuine respect for everyone who works at Lagree House and we want them to love their job and their clients. We regularly keep them updated with the business and our plans and goals to keep them a part of the bigger picture.
