Our Story

BAILEY SWENSEN / OWNER

Bailey Swensen, was born and raised in Crosby, Minnesota. Bailey is a lifelong athlete and began her career in the health and wellness industry in 2016 after graduating college with a Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Physiology.

In 2017, Bailey obtained her National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Personal Trainer Certification and has worked with over 100 clients since.

Bailey was recruited to Uplifted Wellness Studio in 2021 as the world began its revival from the pandemic. Bringing experience from the fitness world, she began assisting in various marketing and upgrading projects within the studio, while taking on new clients and working at her family’s locally famous greenhouse.

It didn’t take long for Jill Mattson (previous owner) to see Bailey’s potential to carry on the legacy of what was Uplifted Wellness Studio. In January 2025, Bailey officially became the owner of UWS and rebranded to Real Life Wellness Studio, a spin off of her personal training company she started.

You will find Bailey enjoying most her time outdoors, especially near lakes and always with friends and family or playing softball multiple nights a week. She shares her home with her beloved dog Finnigan who is almost always at her side during their adventures and their wanna-be-dog (cat), Asher.
