The Illinois Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for the Metro East at SIUE and East St. Louis proudly announces the launch of Workout with Ludgina, LLC.
Workout with Ludgina provides High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) online treadmill workouts at an affordable price. Her classes are designed for runners, joggers, walkers, or anyone who is interested in including exercise in their daily life.
These classes can help build endurance, strength, and speed in a fun, upbeat way that makes you enjoy working out. Each class has an interactive and engaging format that consists of endurance work, sprints, tempos, and hills in order to aid with strength, endurance, speed, form, weight loss and self-confidence.
Owner of Workout with Ludgina, Ludgina Dieujuste, came to the Illinois SBDC for the Metro East at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in October 2018 with a business idea and her passion for running. She knew she could count on her local SBDC to help guide and support her throughout the process of building her business.
SBDC Business Specialist Marti Guntren has assisted Dieujuste in reformatting her business plan and reviewing it for possible lenders, as well as aiding in the process of registering her business, and providing additional referrals for lenders and lawyers.
“Marti made things clearer for me,” Dieujuste noted. “I can create my business with the help of an entrepreneurial mentor, like Marti. She has helped me realize how attainable this business can be.”
Dieujuste was overweight growing up. One day she went for a run and has never stopped. Her passion for running and connecting with others has grown with each step she’s taken. She is also a Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) Certified Running Coach.
“Ludgina is a force of nature!” Guntren exclaimed. “She knows what she wants and has the skills and abilities to make it happen. It is a pleasure to help her make her dream a reality. She has developed her team and has moved forward, even when things did not go as planned. In today’s business environment, the ability to pivot is crucial to succeeding.”
To celebrate the launch of Workout with Ludgina, you can enjoy the first video at a rental fee of just $1.00 for 15 days. The first video will be available Monday, April 1.
