Curious about the origins of Shop Purple Umbrella? It all started with Leigh Held, a lifelong New Yorker, who launched this venture after a 15-year career in the sports industry. As the manager of operations and development at a renowned high-performance physical therapy facility on Madison Avenue, Leigh worked with Wall Street titans, Hollywood A-listers, Broadway icons, and world-famous athletes. She noticed that while these mostly male clients had access to specialized services, similar offerings were lacking for women. Leigh envisioned a space where fitness and wellness services could be inclusive and accessible to all women, whether they're stay-at-home moms, remote workers, or anyone who prefers the comfort of home workouts. Thus, Shop Purple Umbrella was born to empower women everywhere.
