One afternoon, Jade was scrolling through social media and yelled out, “Hey Jess, did you know Waz and Derel are selling the gym?”
Would we have predicted owning a gym — or even a business together — was in our future? Absolutely not. Fast forward to today, and we've been the owners of Studio 9 since 2022.
We came into it with different backgrounds and strengths. Jade is a mechanic by trade and business owner, while Jess brought experience in administration, finance and payroll, alongside a degree in Exercise Physiology.
Those differences still shape Studio 9 today. Jade gravitates towards the relationships, training environment and supplements, while Jess focuses on how things look and feel, including the gym, apparel and marketing.
What we both agree on is simple:
To create a space you want to train in.
We're proud of what Studio 9 is and fortunate to have a front row seat seeing members working towards something for themselves.
Outside of Studio 9, we're Mum and Dad to our two boys, Arie and Tage. Like any parent, we hope we're building something they can be proud of too.
