Meet the Founder
“I stumbled on SlingBungee.com quite by accident. I was instantly fascinated. I thought, this looks like so much fun!” I love the way it builds communities of laughing, hard-working folks who can appreciate others' accomplishments without competition. The competition is with yourself and what your body wants. The low-impact, resistance movement is good for all levels of fitness, and the spontaneous applause when someone finally learns to do a bungee burpee adds to the sense of community and that we are all on this journey together.”
Her management career taught her to hire the best people and create a good work environment. That means hiring highly qualified teachers who love what they do and bring that love to the workout.
After working with computers since 1970, Jo retired two years ago. Since standing still is not in her double-Gemini nature, she spent time figuring out what to do next.
Being older herself, having been desk-bound for so many years, she wanted a new way to get fit now that she had the time. Traditional gyms are too noisy, with judgmental people and unforgiving machines.
Our Story
Flyaway Fitness TX provides low-impact, high-cardio resistance exercise that supports 50-70% of your body weight safely, in an environment that fosters a community where fitness is fun and effective.
Our initial goal is to reach out to the community and find people new to or returning to regular exercise, and to provide a fun, safe, but challenging workout community.
We plan to become a certified Master Trainer studio for new studios wanting to get the training necessary to become certified Sling Bungee studios.
Within the next 2 to 3 years, we plan to expand, creating affiliates of FlyAway Fitness TX in surrounding communities such as Georgetown, Hutto, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville.
