The fitness and wellness industries have been shaped and led by like-minded women for quite some time. As women were known to hold front-of-house roles in these specific industries, they’ve made their mark and are now holding managerial, director, and CEO roles throughout companies. 

A woman that has made a major mark in the fitness and wellness industries is Jenny Liu. Liu is the CEO of DOGPOUND, a creme de la creme fitness facility owned and founded by prominent trainer Kirk Myers, where you’ll spot Adriana Lima, Euphoria cast members, artists, tastemakers, and others. Liu is a first-generation Chinese woman raised in Manhattan’s Chinatown sector, who immigrated to the States with her family from Guangdong, China. She is a mother of two who now resides in Queens, New York.

I had the pleasure of having a fireside chat with Liu on her journey as a Chinese American woman in New York City and as a CEO making major moves in the fitness and wellness industries.
