Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jessica Kedzior & Sara DiGioia . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jessica Kedzior & , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?
Idea to Execution – Sara & I had a gym before Covid. We loved teaching in person and really had no idea what was about to happen. It was a Sunday Night when they shut down Ohio gyms. We honestly did not know what we were going to do – we wanted to provide our members with an amazing workouts. We opened that gym in 2018 & SO many people relied on us to keep them motivated and consistent. We did not want any of our members personal progress to slow down even for what we thought could be a few days.
That Night Sara & I got the gym around 9 pm & started recording workouts on my husbands phone. Its honesty insane to see the quality of some of the first videos we filmed. That was the day SPRNG was born.
Working out the kinks we quickly knew this was the way we could help our members through the pandemic – we quickly sold out of our jump boots, got MORE members then we had ever had in the gym and knew we needed to keep this going. Since our first day we found out the BEST way to film a quality production. Lighting, sound, music was just the beginning. Sara & I had only up to this point taught in person classes – we were extremely nervous to transition to 100 percent online, but were up to the challenge.
Everyday there is something new to learn & we are constantly thinking of bring the best workouts to our growing community. We are so lucky to deliver amazing workouts anytime, anywhere & cannot wait to see what the future holds.
SPRNG is a truly unique workout (you can burn up to 20 calories a minute while working out in our SPRNG jump boots). We are so incredibly thankful for our amazing community – with their help we have launched level based workouts. With the incorporation with SPRNG 01/02/03/max & breaks we have been able to help our community with an incredible full body workout that can be done by any age!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Sara & I have always been active – trying every workout this world has to offer & coaching various sports. I believe that you become a coach to help people progress & show them that anything is truly possibly. Most people know this they just need a positive and helpful reminder of what they can do with a little encouragement along the way.
OUR favorite thing about SPRNG is helping someone achieve something they did not know they could do. Whether it is not falling in the jump boots, getting through their first class or hitting a personal fitness goal. It is an amazing opportunity to help someone achieve a new goal!
From the first time we put on the jump boots, we knew this is exactly what we wanted to do. It started as a hobby, but slowly became a passion. This style of working out was the most fun either of us had working out and we wanted to share this with more people across the country, as the results could have a profound affect on the fitness world.
After we fell in love with jump, Sara & I wanted to provide a method that included a full body burn that fit into people’s schedules and allowed them to enjoy working out, whether it’s in a studio or the comfort of their own home. This is how the digital studio was developed.
Studio SPRNG was cofounded by Sara & I. Our goal was to provide the world with a quick and effective workout they could do anywhere, anytime but quickly became SO MUCH MORE. Incorporating one small change daily, and helping people LOVE a workout can truly change their life. It starts with a workout class, slowly shaping and changing our members to the route of health and wellness.
SPRNG has personally changed my life. I have two small children & honestly had an extremely hard time getting back into workout out. Jumping in the SPRNG boots changed everything.
When you purchase from SPRNG you get everything you need in your SPRNG boot box to get started for all of our workouts. SPRNG boots, Socks, Weights & Bands allow you to have everything you need to get back on track. The flexible workout times & options really allow for maximum toning and calorie burning at the convenience & flexibility of your time.
How’d you meet your business partner?
So I spoke a little about our coaching careers – that is actually how we met.
I, Jessica have coached competitive gymnastics & cheerleading for WAY to many years. My first year as head coach Sara was the captain of the team. Not only was she was a fabulous cheerleader, and threw a full on a gym floor, we became fast friends. Now that being said if I could have guessed when I first met her that she would eventually become my sister in law (married to my brother), my business partner (co-founder of Studio SPRNG), and me stand by her side as her maid of honor at her wedding I would not believe it.
The most important quality you could pick in a partner is someone who motivates you. Sara & I compliment each other in business and in life. We are constantly pushing each other to find a better way & push the limit. This is both in our fitness careers and business.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
PIVOT – SPRNG is an ultimate pivot of our lives and our business. Having to change our entire business model in a blink of an eye was not only extremely challenging but a little scary. Navigating our new normal was so difficult at first. We have never taken our success for granted – and our constantly pushing the envelop for ourselves and our members. From the first night we filmed a workout (no speaker system – no headset – wobbly but free camera man – haha node to my husband Josiah) We have constantly been improving. The ability to pivot in challenging situations has made us what we are today.
The most important advise I have to anyone in business is not to freeze, in business you are constantly dealing with the ever changing environment & you always have to think on your feet. The ability to pivot and be flexible can set you apart & help you achieve goals you did not know you had.
If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan but never the goal.. we started to help people – achieve new goals & be excellent along the way we found out we could help more people through our online platform.
