"The messages I get from clients that come and the ways B present has impacted their lives. We definitely hear from people not only about physically and feeling better, sleeping better, and having confidence. But coming to B Present gave them the courage to quit jobs they have hated for 10 years, but never felt worthy enough to leave. People deciding to take on a big obstacle that held them back and deciding them to take it head on." - Tammy Weisweaver
Through the eyes of Tammy Weisweaver, B Present Studio was inspired by her love for being active, and her love for health and wellness. Tammy never thought she could make a full career out of it; as a result, she went to school to become a school teacher but would get certifications to teach fitness classes on the side as well. In teaching a few classes a week during the summer, Tammy felt she was not fulfilling her desire. She wanted more. They took a leap of faith and began to offer classes from their home. B Present Studio wasn’t just offering a workout, they wanted to help change lives. In changing lives, it started with changing people’s mindsets. This is where the inspiration came from for the environment they foster that helps women create healthy lives through a body, mind, and spirit approach.

“I cannot say enough good things about B Present. The workouts were challenging and fun, and I credit them with being the best physical shape I have been in years.
