43. GetREAL | Reana & Alex Kaminsky

“Starting to do little things for ourselves and realizing how much happier we were outside of the office snowballed into us wanting to do more for ourselves,” explains Reana Kaminsky, Co-owner of the getREAL Shop. Reana and her sister Alex first came to Physio Room for recovery help after a bike run event and now are close friends of the group. Reflecting on their weight loss journeys, the Kaminsky sisters share their passion for fitness and what led them to start their business.    Life-long athletes, Reana and Alex, gained considerable weight once they started desk jobs. During covid, they decided to get back into shape and regain healthy habits. After committing to their fitness and nutrition, they shared their journeys via Youtube, inspiring others with their vulnerability. By accepting themselves and starting their own online store, the Kaminsky sisters allowed their positive changes to make everything else fall into place.   No matter what your profession is, you must take care of yourself. Learn more about the Kaminsky sisters’ relatable experience with weight gain, the benefits of group fitness, and why you should always be real.
