Founder Chalnessa Eames is a former world-renowned soloist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle.

Throughout her career, she relied on a personal movement ritual to stay strong, prevent injuries, and maintain performance longevity. That ritual, built on core strength, muscular endurance, mobility, and breathwork, became the foundation of The Fitual.

Chalnessa’s vision was clear from day one: create a studio where people can move with intention, and build confidence in every season of life. What started as a single room with a mission has grown into a thriving community that continues to redefine what fitness can feel like.
