Kelsey Irish, owner of btone FITNESS in Providence, has always had a passion for athletics and fitness. With a long history of high-level competition in professional soccer and a partnership with a leading sports brand, Kelsey’s love for active movement led her to try new and challenging workouts. In 2016, she attended her first btone class and immediately connected with TONEy, the arkeTone machine that drives btone’s iconic workouts.
TONEy stands apart from other fitness machines by adapting to an individual’s abilities and physical conditions, tailoring each exercise, and maximizing its effectiveness. After just one class with TONEy, Kelsey knew she wanted to help make this new method of fitness more attainable through a practice she believed in.
Kesley met with Yashwant Meghare and Henry Schwarzbach at the RISBDC in search of help with market research, business planning, and financial projections. After months of collaboration, Kesley successfully closed her loan in January 2023 and proudly celebrated btone FITNESS’s grand opening on April 1st of that same year. Now, individuals can browse available classes and schedule a 45-minute workout in seconds through the incredibly convenient btone app.
