Step Four Fitness in Belle Vernon, 158 Tri County Plaza, got into action on Friday, January 20 to sponsor a ladies night.

Pictured are (l-r): Tina Dean, owner; Christi Dean, owner’s daughter; and Linda Ringstad and Jethe Custer, fitness instructors.

Held at the fitness center from 6-8 p.m., all ladies were invited. Ladies of all ages kicked off the event, and a nicely sized group attended.

The friendly staff greeted visitors as they entered. Then they visited a variety of vendors, such as: Avon, Isagenix, Chloe & Isabel jewelry, Hamilton Chiropractic with free massages, Mary Kay, a Chinese auction and more. Wine tasting and food were also available.

Christi Dean, daughter of owner Tina Dean, handles all the PR for the gym. She said, “We opened in September 2016, and since opening, we have maintained members from the old Curves and have gotten a lot of new members from the surrounding communities. Since we are the only women’s fitness facility around, it has definitely helped us.”

Step Four Fitness instructor Jethe Custer noted, “I absolutely love working here, because I like to motivate women, and l love when the ladies start to see results. It’s a supportive environment in all aspects of life. There’s camaraderie here with all the ladies. We are reaching out to all ages.” She is also an expert in classes such as Zumba and encourages women to get involved.

Custer said, about the evening, “I think [tonight] is a great promotional event to make women aware that there’s a women’s facility in the area. It also gives vendors a chance to showcase what they’re promoting.”
