PAPERCITY PROMOTION What inspired you to make your vision a reality. Brittney Stracener: Creating my own virtual fitness platform during the lockdown was a no-brainer. Stay Fit Virtual is an affordable option for quality fitness, and I love that. I thrive off of others' energy, so opening up my laptop and seeing people move, sweat, and compete fueled my passion. Your proudest accomplishments as an entrepreneur. BS: Just seeing the impact I'm making in peoples' lives. The confidence that I'm helping unleash in women is really special, and the response has been overwhelming. What makes you excited to lead your business/brand in Dallas. BS: I moved to Dallas 12 years ago because I just knew this was going to be the It spot for fitness and health. Dallas has an incredible energy, and I know I have the support from my city and community. That means everything to me. How living in Dallas has helped grow your business and helped you grow as a leader. BS: Dallas is a confident city, and we all support each other — that's why we're so great here! Word of mouth, referrals, and my Dallas community supporting my pop-ups have been huge for my brand. What you hope to accomplish. BS: I want SFV to help you stay fit in all areas of your life. I have some exciting things coming soon. Your typical day. BS: On days I teach class, I wake up at 4:30 am, give myself a few face slaps, throw on some music, make coffee, and put on makeup (yes, I wear makeup early in the morning for my classes, because it makes me feel good). Teach class, get the kids to school, work on all things business for SFV, pick up the kiddos, make dinner, and spend quality time with my fiancé at night. On days I don't teach, I enjoy walking the Katy Trail with my girlfriends or supporting other local fitness studios. Local charities you support. BS: My fiancé and I support Dallas Children's Advocacy Center (DCAC) and Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF). Go-to Dallas restaurants. BS: Shinsei and The Charles. Favorite cocktail. 10000% Osadia Tequila ranch water with Tajín and a jalapeño! Support local! Best tequila in Texas!
