    Love seeing Lexi and Josh from GiGiFit. Like you, they love GiGi’s and love participating in as many programs as possible. I learned at Fantastic Friends that Josh loves to dance, and he is a great dancer too! Lexi has been our GiGi friend since the beginning with her mom being part of the GiGi’s Playhouse founders team. She has also hosted us at Orangetheory Fitness and we have all loved attending their workout classes. I also love meeting Austin and Angelina and hearing about them from you. You are such an inspiration to the young kids and their families…like a big brother. Thank you, Brett. You ROCK!
