More Than Just a Gym

Welcome to Lighten Up.

WHAT DOES IT mean to be well? This is the question at the heart of Lighten Up, a conversation designed to examine the unique tipping point we face in the modern world.

It asks: How do we stay connected without losing connection with ourselves?

Narrated by Suzanne Vita Battinelli, founder of The U, and a 20+ year veteran of the health and fitness industry, Lighten Up is the compilation of SVB’s observations of what truly ails the communities she serves. It uses storytelling as a vehicle for relatability and establishing common ground, while prompting readers to think, feel and learn about what shapes them the most.

Ultimately, it exists to remind us all that our life is our own.
