The new fitness studio in Clovis that specializes in kettlebell training will hold its grand opening Saturday.

Owned and operated by former Fresno State cheerleader and local TV news reporter Rachel Eslick, Reach Fitness Studio will offer four separate 15-minute sample sessions for free to showcase its training. The grand opening is scheduled for 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

The studio is located just east of the Clovis and Gettysburg avenues intersection at 2921 Larkin Ave.

The Clovis Chamber of Commerce also will conduct a ribbon cutting ceremony there around 11:30 a.m.

Eslick, a certified trainer for the past 11 years, strives to help others find their own confidence through fitness, especially women who are dealing with body changes.

But rather than focus on quick body transformations, Eslick helps clients build a consistency in their workout routine and proper daily nutrition.

And some of the foundations of Reach Fitness Studio is having fun while working out and training with others in a group setting to enhance the experience.

“It’s just an amazing feeling to help people feel strong, feel better about themselves, and have more confidence,” Eslick said. “I want to help as many people as I can.”
