Leia McCumber

My name is Leia McCumber, and I am born and raised in Madison WI.  In 2006 I graduated from my therapeutic massage program and in 2007 I opened my own private practice, Leia's Renu.  My business grew very quickly, and each year I expanded my space and service menu and hired more therapists.  In 2010 we were voted Best Day Spa in Madison WI.  In Dec 2011 I decided to sell the business.  It was very successful, but I was losing my passion. I had become a business owner, advertising specialist, general manager, receptionist, etc.  Running the spa was a full time job and I was doing massage less and less.  I wanted to get back to my passion.  I opened my own private practice again, and I added personal training to the mix.  I became an ACE certified personal trainer in the summer of 2011.  I opened Serious Fitness January 2012 and business took off.  Serious Fitness provides in home personal training exclusively for women.  I also offer outdoor bootcamps/group training in the warm months. Serious Fitness offers training with TRX Suspension and RIP Trainer, sandbag training, battling ropes, plyometrics, HIIT {interval training} body weight training, weight training, circuit training, tabata, strength and flexibility, functional fitness, pilates, aerobic/step, and styles of P90X.  I decided not to work in a gym because I needed to be able to give people a more personal approach, and to help them eliminate any excuses for not working out.  If they feel to busy to make it to a gym, I come to them, in the comfort of their home. I am more affordable than a gym membership. You can work out in your living room and won't feel intimidated by the gym atmosphere.  In home, mobile training eliminated all road blocks to getting healthy, and there was nothing like that being offered to women here in Madison.  I also became certified in massage for Fibromyalgia.  My mother has this condition, and I wanted to find a way to help. Her, and so many of my clients have raved about the benefits of massage, and that they are now able to live more pain free lives.

I love my job, and I love helping people!  Through massage, I can relax people, take away their stress and also manage chronic pain or injuries. Through personal training, I can help people become who they want to be, become healthier and happier.  It's a very rewarding job!
