About Studio Seven
Studio Seven
Though Studio Seven officially opened its doors in 2024, the vision for it has been alive for many years. Studio Seven was created to provide an outlet for men and women looking to invest in themselves in a new and exciting way. We aim to have a warm and inviting culture that not only keeps you coming back but makes you feel like you are part of the team. The number seven symbolizes many things that make up the backbone of our “why”. Seven represents fullness and completeness and is intimately tied with the word rest. Number seven is also connected to intuition, wisdom, and self-awareness – all leading to growth. We want those that walk through our doors to feel complete and confident in who they are while giving them a path towards physical and mental growth. And while there won’t be much literal resting (it is a fitness studio after all), we believe that investing in yourself is crucial to your well-being. Wellness can be a daunting thing and many people don’t know where to start – here is your official invite to start here. We are thrilled to provide these new services to the Yankton community and surrounding areas. We hope to see you in the studio!
Our Team
Kennedy Frick
Kennedy is the founder and owner of Studio Seven. With a diverse professional background spanning sales in the oil and gas industry and public service at both the state and federal levels, Kennedy has always valued the importance of hard work, connection, and serving others. She earned her MBA from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, and is passionate about using her education and experience to build something she truly believes in.
Fitness has always been an important part of Kennedy’s life, but in recent years, her perspective has expanded to encompass wellness as a whole. She believes that what we put in and on our bodies is just as important as staying physically active, and that true wellness comes from taking care of ourselves from the inside out.
Through Studio Seven, Kennedy hopes to create a space where everyone who walks through the door feels welcome, challenged, supported, and empowered—regardless of where they are in their fitness or wellness journey.
Kennedy lives in Yankton with her husband, Tanner, and their daughter, Noah.
