Elana Liberman left her career as a lawyer to bring Halifax a spin-centric fitness studio in 2012, and she hasn’t looked back since, continuing to expand the facilities, class offerings (which now include barre, yoga, TRX and kettlebell) and her playlists (there’s 200-plus of those). “I think that every day no matter what’s happened in the day, I bring 110 percent energy and excitement. I teach every single class as an event, as an experience,” says Liberman, who credits her partner John, her staff and patrons for inspiring her. “People are taking time out of their day, and they give me this one shot this one hour. And I want to make it their best.”
