Training studio cuts ribbon

Owners Trisha Breese and Kelly Stevenson (center) cut the ribbon on Gen-X Training Studio’s new facility at 217 S. Washington St. (same complex as Wild Willy’s) in Van Wert on Thursday, while Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce board members look on. The studio plans an open house during the Peony/ArtRageous Festival, with demonstrations of Zumba, the Gen-X training circuit, kickboxing, boxing and yoga from 9-11:45 a.m. on Saturday. The studio will also give away door prizes to the first 20 people to register for classes or personal training, as well as a grand prize drawing for a fitness package to include personal training sessions.
