So Tina took a leap. Literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Personal Pain to a Bungee Breakthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
She bought the equipment, found a space close to home in Albany, New York, and signed a five-year lease\u2014before ever trying a single bungee workout herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was really a leap of faith,” Tina explains. “The first time I tried Bungee was when it was attached here in my studio. I just knew I wasn\u2019t the only one that needed a little help with their workout.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With help from her family and clients, Tina developed a unique approach that has since grown into a thriving, inclusive fitness community.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOverview: Fly to Fit Bungee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Business Type:<\/strong> Bungee fitness studio Tina didn\u2019t start with a business background or a fitness career. She was an ultrasound technologist. But her passion for helping others fueled her growth. Her mission was simple: make fitness fun and accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She become certified in bungee fitness and other modalities, began teaching her own classes, and built a studio culture where everyone could feel included and capable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou might see that everyone is doing a little bit different things because that\u2019s what they can do for their body. Everyone can participate no matter what their fitness level is.\u201d \u2014 Tina Murphy, Owner<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n At Fly to Fit, any class can be your first class\u2014no experience required. The studio serves people of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. The youngest bungee participant was 14 months old. The oldest? 89.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Custom harnesses eliminate fall risk, allowing clients with cerebral palsy, MS, or balance challenges to move confidently and safely. \u201cThe fear of falling is really what limits a lot of people\u2026 They can\u2019t fall even if they want to,\u201d Tina says with a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Class programming evolved through experimentation and client feedback. Mistakes weren\u2019t setbacks\u2014they were learning opportunities. Today, the studio thrives on laughter, trust, and mutual support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy clients will rearrange their whole life just to make sure they don\u2019t miss their bungee classes,\u201d says Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n Fly to Fit is a family affair. Tina leads classes alongside a team of 10 instructors. Her son Ian manages day-to-day operations, marketing, and franchising. Her younger son works the front desk. Together, they\u2019re building more than a brand\u2014they\u2019re building a legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Ian\u2019s help, Fly to Fit launched its first franchise in Evansville, IN in January 2025. A second company-owned location is planned in New York, with a long-term vision to expand nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI hit a crossroads. I knew I wanted Fly to Fit to be in more places\u2014to help more people. Franchising seemed like the fastest way to get there,” Tina explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing multiple locations brought new logistical challenges. Fortunately, Tina had already made a critical decision: switching from Mindbody to WellnessLiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt just wasn\u2019t working anymore. The price kept going up, and it didn\u2019t meet our needs. We switched to WellnessLiving and never looked back.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Tina Murphy, Owner<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n WellnessLiving now powers scheduling, billing, and communication across both Fly to Fit locations. When the franchise launched, WellnessLiving\u2019s multi-location support made onboarding seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe software is huge with multiple locations. I can\u2019t imagine managing without it. The WellnesLiving team helped every step of the way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clients love it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s easy to book, cancel, pay, reschedule\u2014all from the app. That takes a lot off my plate,\u201d says Tina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WellnessLiving enabled Fly to Fit to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat I love about WellnessLiving is the customer support, which made it so much easier to open multiple locations.\u201d \u2014 Tina Murphy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since switching to WellnessLiving, Fly to Fit Bungee has doubled its revenue. But for Tina, the numbers are just part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
