Adriane Abraham
Co-Founder & Brand Strategist
I graduated college and quickly found myself working in Los Angeles for the entertainment industry. I worked with top professionals learning about the talent management industry and production. I had a blast, although there came a moment where I found myself leaving work unfulfilled. I knew I was missing my calling and passion in life, which was always my athleticism. LA was the perfect place since it is the mecca for fitness. I made a solid move in making my career in the fitness industry. My parents weren’t thrilled, but I assured them owning my own gym was in the forefront of my mind and I was determined to achieve huge things and change millions of lives. I learned the industry through and through by working from the bottom up. Since then I live by the tagline of The Fit Shop, which is SHIFT. Never stop shifting, learning and growing to be the best individual you can be.
