Today we’d like to introduce you to Lindsey Duggan.
Lindsey grew up in Southern CT and earned a degree in marketing and communication from Central Connecticut State University. She has always had a driving passion for fitness and spent her high school, college and immediate post-college years doing mostly cardio including; competitive swimming and running. In 2010 Lindsey moved to Chicago and completed her first full marathon. She was hooked. Lindsey soon qualified for the Boston marathon and while in training went in search of additional ways to supplement her workouts. She soon discovered yoga and not long after aerial silks. These experiences also led to a desire to instruct others in fitness so she earned her 200 hour Vinyasa teaching certification from Core Power Yoga and her Aerial Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from AIR- Aerial Fitness. While in Chicago Lindsey taught both spinning and aerial silks. In early 2015 Lindsey moved to Los Angeles to fulfill a lifelong dream of being a fitness studio owner. In her short time in Los Angeles Lindsey has successfully owned and operated AIR Los Angeles, been named a brand ambassador for Lululemon Beverly Hills and has been featured in multiple media outlets.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Running your own business is never a smooth road. Just getting your business off the ground and having people come through your doors is a challenge! What media streams to use, what payroll systems works best, how you practice consistency are all things you learn along the way. Then you learn what’s right and what wrong for your individual business. We have been open for 3+ years now so I would say you learn the most in year 1. Then you try not to make the same mistake twice. There is never a roadmap to success – you live and you learn.
We’d love to hear more about your business.

I was fun growing up! I like to think I still am today! Very outgoing, social, lots of energy, and always eager for more in life is how I have always been.
