Hi Everyone- We’re Christine and Chris, the founders of Luxe Leisure. We wanted to share a little bit about our journey and how we arrived here today.

Luxe Leisure began in 2017 as a small e-commerce clothing boutique. With no outside funding, we started scrappy — buying pieces we loved, storing them in our Southie apartment, and hosting pop-ups around the city. Our vision from the start was simple: to bring fashion and athleisure together in one unique boutique.

Eventually, we were able to open our first retail location, though we didn’t yet have the resources for staff. For those early months, our doors were only open on weekends while we both continued working corporate jobs during the week.

Over the years, our business has experienced countless ups and downs — from navigating Covid to taking risks and opening new locations that weren’t the right fit, and constantly pivoting when challenges arose.

This past year, we took time to reflect on what truly makes us happy and decided to return to our roots — blending fashion, athleisure, and now, fitness.

Christine grew up dancing and has always had a passion for health, wellness, yoga, and pilates. Chris has played just about every sport imaginable, from lacrosse to muay thai.

Together, we set out to create something truly special — a boutique fitness studio that offers a variety of classes, including dance, yoga, pilates, barre, HIIT and more — all in a welcoming, intimate setting.

 Our vision goes beyond fitness — it’s about building a community where people can move, grow, and support one another. We believe the magic happens not just in the workouts, but in the connections made along the way.
