Samantha Gitlin is more than a fitness instructor—she's a visionary on a mission. After attending the University of Iowa, Samantha followed her passion and became an E-RYT200. While obtaining various fitness certifications and teaching in gyms and studios around Chicago, Sam noticed a crucial gap: talented instructors lacked affordable, flexible spaces to grow their own businesses.

​

In 2024, Sam launched WE THE PEOPLE FITNESS STUDIOS, a stunning studio space designed for fitness professionals to thrive independently. Located centrally in downtown Chicago, WE THE PEOPLE offers instructors the freedom to set their own schedules, rates, and class formats, fostering creativity and collaboration. This model not only attracts top-tier instructors but also offers them a diverse range of fitness options, maximizing their financial returns while giving them the freedom of their own space.​

 

Beyond classes, WE THE PEOPLE is an inclusive space for fitness instructors to hold workshops, events, fundraisers, collaborate other instructors and partner with small business.

WE THE PEOPLE in the fitness industry are better together!
