Today’s Buffalo Boss Babe is LaLa Woods, owner of La'Movement Fitness. LaLa is determined to motivate kids and women of Buffalo to be more fit through dance and other fun workouts. We chatted with LaLA about business and what it means to be a Boss Babe! Check out her answers below.

What made you start or brought you to where you are today ? Tell us your story. What makes you a Buffalo Boss Babe?

Living in beautiful Buffalo NY with all the amazing local food from all over the world available at anytime of day is how I got started lol. In college I struggled with weight loss and having very unhealthy habits, my determination to make a change for myself birthed La'Movement. After reconnecting with one of my 1st loves, DANCE I was able to be successful in my weight loss efforts. The community wanted to know my "secret " to weight loss. We started teaching a zumba class, then Abs, then developed La'X a heels class and our own LMF Dance fit. The mission to get the community active and live a healthier lifestyle took a life of it's own. Working in over 25 schools to fight childhood obesity and 1000s of women throughout WNY.

What does being a Buffalo Boss Babe mean to you?

It's a La'Mazing feeling to be considered a Buffalo Boss Babe. I love this community and we've gotten so much support in WNY. To be viewed as successful and being able to have an opportunity to inspire the next generation in a positive way means everything.
