You might have heard about Tequila & Deadlifts.

A personal-training-only gym located in the heart of the fan. Five years ago it started with 800 sq. feet and a dream and now it boasts 3500 sq. feet and 33 trainers, massage therapists, physical therapists, brow artists and VCU interns. We are a thriving ecosystem, with strong relationships to our clients, our fellow businesses, and our community.

As a part of this community, we wanted to bring the same energy to Scott’s Addition, which is why we took over the events space formerly held by Studio Two Three. Here we continue our relationship with RVA Community Fridges and the good work that Studio Two Three started with many non-profits. As well as taking the chance to create our own events and celebrate with you at some of yours!

Both Tequila & Deadlifts and The Workshop by T&D are owned by Kerith Rae. Kerith is a Jill-of-all-trades- working in multiple industries over the years, but always focused on giving back as much as she can. She has an Honors undergraduate degree from Radford University in Communication, with a focus on public relations and events planning, as well as a double minor in Business Management and International Studies. She has her Master’s in Advertising from the VCU Brandcenter with a focus on Creative Brand Management. She has also been a bartender and Certified Personal Trainer for the last 10 years.

And she’s thrilled to be a part of the Scott’s Addition neighborhood.
