Here to Hustle
Fitness doesn’t have to be miserable.
Studio Owner Ami McMullen wanted to create a fitness space that was not only effective, but inclusive & supportive. We meet you where you are and show you how to choose the right intensity level for you.
Smaller class sizes, more personal attention.
We limit our classes to 12 participants so everybody can be seen and coached according to their needs. More value for less cost.
Anybody. Any level.
This is a TRX-based fitness studio because TRX equipment is some of the most efficient fitness gear on the market that also easily adjusts to any fitness level. It’s versatility and design mean that you’re working your whole body, instead of just one muscle at a time. We also use weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, ropes, and bands as needed.
We’re here to challenge you, not kill you.
Anybody can create a hard workout, but educated & experienced fitness pros know how to find the level that gets you results while remaining injury-free. Our staff has fitness certifications, TRX/Yoga certifications, and we take this seriously.
Hustle for your health.
Of course we want you to hustle for what you want out of your workouts, but that also means hustling for what you need the rest of the time: rest, good nutrition, play, and fulfillment. They go together. We’re here to help you with all of it.
“hustle: verb
to obtain by energetic activity.”

Lauren Hoyle
Intern
Hi everyone! My name is Lauren Hoyle and I'm Ami's newest intern! I'm a student at the University of Louisville where I'm majoring in health and physical education, on my path toward becoming a school counselor. College has introduced me to my love for fitness and what better way to learn about the fitness industry than from Ami?
I've been welcomed to Studio Hustle with nothing but kindness and support from the staff and studio members which has made me love the environment that exists at Studio Hustle. I plan to become certified in group fitness, and while I'm not sure where my fitness journey will take me, I'm excited and grateful to begin that journey with the Studio Hustle community!
