The Fitness Lab was created in 2011 as a creative outlet by Whitney Burdzilauskas.   Her innovation and ideas needed a release and so she created The Fitness lab.  What started as a small personal training studio eventually became a thriving community of fitness enthusiasts and athletes that now call The Fitness Lab their home!




The original location of The Fitness Lab did not allow room for growth, so in 2016 we picked up and moved 1 mile south to "SoBro".  It is here that the lab has grown to be what it is today - a place to grow and inspire. 


The most important values to Whitney are community and respect. She treats all members with open arms and does her best to nurture and challenge each individual as they travel through their fitness journey.  It is important to Whitney that everyone walks out of the lab in a better head and physical space then when they walked in.  Whitney has a love for the Hawaiian islands and loves to bring Aloha to her Midwest community.  


In 2017, Whitney and her husband decided to move to San Diego, CA.  For now, she runs the gym remotely while Joe Abiog is very involved with the day to day operations.  It is because of the fabulous staff and network of clients; The Fitness Lab thrives in her absence.  

In addition to owning The Fitness Lab, Whitney is a wife, animal advocate, loves horseback riding, her 3 dogs, dolphins, the ukulele and competes in triathlon.
