It’s the two former schoolteachers’ first foray into the fitness industry. They’ll continue to run limited classes at Flex, located at 2736 Welton St., until the studio’s grand opening on Sept. 5.

About 50 new members have signed on so far. Unlimited monthly classes cost $125, and a new client’s first week is free.
