Jen Hunt made lemonade out of lemons — except her lemonade is a successful virtual Pilates business and lemons equate to the coronavirus pandemic.
Hunt has a successful Pilates studio in Beverly Hills, California, with an elite, celebrity clientele but has been living at her parents’ home on Lake Martin for the last four months. When her studio was shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions, Hunt figured there was no better place to go than the lake.
