History

Established in 2013.

Co-​owners Paul and Jennifer met on a fitness social media page in 2009 and became fast friends. They continued to build an online network of friends that promoted a fun and results-​oriented atmosphere while supporting each others’ fitness goals. Paul and Jennifer created The Institution to mimic the atmosphere of their online group and give the Lansing community a fitness studio where clients would feel supported and reach their goals.

What sets The Institution apart from other fitness businesses? The unique classes and training, fun atmosphere, and genuine commitment from the instructors and trainers to get clients the results that they want.

The Institution takes service to the community very seriously. To fight childhood obesity, the studio offers free kids fitness programs on Saturdays for children ages 6 – 12.
