SOMERVILLE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Strength in softness.
There's a gym in Somerville that combines traditional workout equipment and methods but with some of the 'softer' aspects of physical well-being including yoga, sauna treatments, massage, and acupuncture.
'Soft Space' is the product of husband and wife, Luis and Hannah Yzusqui.
Their gym is located in the Bow Market and features pink and purple neon lights and plants alongside giant barbells. "I think true strength is found through a balance of softness and knowing when to push forward and pull back," said gym co-owner Luis who founded the gym along with his wife Hannah.
Hannah suffered for years as a teenager and young adult with chronic pain and said she's taken some of the lessons learned through that experience to devote her life to pursuing and teaching total wellness and healing.
Both Luis and Hannah said they consider the gym a sanctuary.
