## Story

After years of working in high-level roles across IT and finance, Joe and Heather Kelley were ready for a new chapter — one defined not by titles or spreadsheets, but by purpose. That chapter has officially begun with the opening of their first Lindora studio in the Briargate neighborhood of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The studio marks Lindora’s first location in the state and introduces a wide range of metabolic health and wellness services to the local community. From medically supervised weight loss programs to IV hydration and more, the Kelleys’ Lindora studio is designed to help people feel their best — inside and out.

“We’ve always been passionate about health and wellness and wanted to own a business that could make a real impact,” Heather said, “helping people feel confident, healthy, and empowered.”

It’s a mission rooted in the couple’s own wellness journeys and a desire to make a tangible difference. While Joe’s career began in IT as a teenager and grew into leadership roles, Heather led multiple finance groups throughout her career. They explored new business opportunities — even in states across the country and the Caribbean — before landing on Lindora.

The brand’s medically guided approach to long-term health aligned perfectly with their vision. With more than 50 years of experience, Lindora is known for its science-backed care model, combining behavior-based coaching, GLP-1s, nutritional support, hormone therapy and more under one roof.

“For us, it’s about becoming part of the community and partnering with individuals to help them set and achieve their personal wellness goals,” Joe said. “We’re dedicated to improving their quality of life and empowering them to pursue the activities they love.”

That commitment to community is what led them to Briargate — a neighborhood they identified as both health-focused and highly engaged. For the Kelleys, the location was a natural fit for launching their wellness-centered venture and becoming long-term partners in helping neighbors thrive.

Their Lindora studio joins a rapidly growing network of locations nationwide. With the support of parent company Xponential Fitness, Lindora is expanding into markets such as Dallas, Atlanta, Boise, Buffalo, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Orlando and Sacramento — tapping into a growing $400 billion global weight management industry. And while the brand’s reach is national, its impact is deeply personal.

The Kelleys’ story is a reflection of the opportunity Lindora offers franchisees: to build a business that not only supports a thriving wellness economy, but also brings real change to real lives.
