Jenny Gresla of selafit
Committing yourself to regularly working out and maintaining a healthier lifestyle may seem daunting at times. Whether you are freshly starting out on a fitness journey, or you’re struggling to continue it, being comfortable and confident in your workout clothes can definitely make the process easier. Our podcast guest, Jenny Gresla took these feelings into account and created selafit, an activewear clothing brand which focuses on producing an inclusive size range that caters towards all body types and sizes. Her inspiration behind launching this company arose from her own observations and frustrations in realizing that many activewear clothing brands did not carry plus sizes, and usually accommodated to specific body types. Along with being the founder of selafit, she also partners with Girls in the Game, an organization that offers health/wellness and leadership based programs which allow young girls to learn about body positivity and ways to obtain healthier lifestyles. With “Sela” translating to “rock” in Hebrew, Jenny aims have her brand serve as a foundation for women and encourage them to “See their potential, Embrace the journey, Live with intention, and Act with perseverance”.
