CONTRIBUTED BY TRUE 40

AUBURN —

True40 Studio Auburn, a boutique fitness studio that believes in movement as a celebration of the body, is celebrating new ownership and a fresh start. Sara Teel acquired the studio on May 1, bringing the studio back into local ownership. True40 is celebrating this new era on May 11 with free classes all day, new membership specials and treats. 

Teel explained that True 40 is “creating a mindset shift in the modern fitness space. While workouts have traditionally been viewed as a means of controlling the body, we believe in movement as a celebration of the body. Our method combines principles of strength training, cardio, barre, Pilates and yoga. As our inspiring community expands through Alabama and beyond, True40® Studio encourages and empowers people to move true to their bodies, and ultimately step into their highest, truest selves.” 

True40 Studio was founded in 2016, beginning with the Auburn location, and is now headquartered in Birmingham. Franchised locations include Auburn and Tuscaloosa. 

The Auburn studio will host six free classes on May 11, with the first class beginning at 5:30 a.m. and wrapping up with a final class beginning at 5:30 p.m. Childcare will be available during four of those classes. Those interested can access the classes on the Mindbody app or call the studio to sign up.

New clients may take advantage of special membership prices. Both current and new clients can enjoy refreshments in between classes.

New clients can join for a discounted membership Thursday, May 11, 6 a.m. through Monday, May 15, 11:59 p.m. All current and new members will be locked in with their membership price when they apply for this special.

“Our pricing will be adjusted after this, so this is the best time to join our True40 family,” Teel said
