Recap of Lissa’s C&G Newspapers Article
Our very own Lissa Pietrykowski, co-owner of Peak Physique Fitness Training, knows firsthand what it takes to run a successful fitness business while balancing family life. Lissa joined her husband, Nick, at Peak Physique in 2014, and in June 2024, she took things a step further by launching Peak Women, a sister business dedicated to personal training for women.
Lissa understands that walking into a gym can feel intimidating, especially for women. That’s why she’s passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive environment where women can feel comfortable and confident in their fitness journey. She also knows the mental health benefits of exercise, from boosting endorphins to providing a sense of accomplishment. With Peak Women, she’s making sure more women have access to those benefits in a space designed just for them.
Balancing a business and a household isn’t easy—especially with four kids! Lissa works long hours training clients, managing operations, and taking care of her family, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She loves what she does and believes that with hard work and passion, anything is possible.
Big Plans for Peak Women
Lissa has big goals for Peak Women. She’s working toward opening a dedicated location near Peak Physique and has long-term plans to develop a certification program to train personal trainers in the Peak Women method.
Her advice for anyone thinking about starting their own business? Go for it. Lissa admits she hesitated before launching Peak Women, afraid it wouldn’t work. But she realized that the worst thing that could happen was failure—and that wasn’t a good enough reason not to try. So, if you have an idea you believe in, take the leap. It just might change everything.
