What can you expect when you work out with Abby? Her clients say she offers friendly workouts that aren't intimidating--classes that are motivating, contract-free and fun. You can trust Abby with your safety, and she will modify your workout based on your own particular needs. She is dedicated to showing you how to perform your daily activities more effectively and efficiently, with enhanced strength and endurance.
Tiny House Fitness is Abby's newest venture, after successfully operating Abby Schonier Fitness in Sandy Springs for 12 years. When she relocated to Clarkston in 2015, Abby searched for two years until she found the perfect match for her indie spirit in Avondale Estates, which welcomes local, homegrown businesses and helps them thrive. She believes in giving back to her own community, and looks forward to working hand-in-hand with other local businesses to cross-promote their unique products and services in the neighborhood.
Tiny House Fitness offer workouts with a personal touch. Abby's vision is to offer an alternative to the big gyms and crowded, competitive boutique studios that appeal primarily to millennials. She believes in helping you achieve your fitness goals in a supportive, non-competitive space. Classes are small (um, tiny!) and Abby cultivates an environment focused on individual attention. At Tiny House, you're a person...not a stat on a leader board.
In 2016, Abby took a slight detour when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, but today she is stronger and healthier than ever. Throughout her 11 months of treatment, Abby served as a role model for her clients, showing by example that "you can either get busy living or get busy dying." Abby continued to run her business, coach and work, scaling back only slightly to a modified, reduced schedule. Now that she has fully healed, Abby is putting all of her energy into Tiny House Fitness--and she invites you to join her to achieve your fitness goals!
