Meet Joel Griffin Sarah Kornhauser of The Mind Body Lounge

Today we’d like to introduce you to Joel Griffin Sarah Kornhauser.

Joel Griffin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
It’s all Sarah’s fault. She had this idea for a wellness and recovery center next to the gym out of where we each operate our personal training businesses. I went kicking and screaming against my will because she is so persistent. Now a year and a half later, here we are. Truth be told, I am very happy with how all of this has progressed. We have been open six weeks so far and things are going very well. The Mind Body Lounge is a beautiful and welcoming space for all walks of life. We have many different recovery modalities including but not limited to red light therapy, salt therapy, compression therapy, contrast therapy – including both infrared and traditional hot saunas along with cold plunges, neuro-tech devices and more. The space is completed by a members lounge, coffee and tea community area, as well as all the amenities such as shower space and lockers.

Sarah’s perspective- I wanted an office in the gym, NO SARAH dream bigger!!! I wanted to build a recovery center and I wanted Joel to help me. So i laid out my case to him. He said no. So i kept sending him articles and making appointments with companies to gather information on what devices were out there. He asked a few mentors and clients, whom he respected. And the response was pretty overwhelmingly positive. I just kept on going like it was a done deal..and then it got REAL! I had no clue how much we didnt know. But i am so proud of how hard we have worked to learn and implement. We have grown tremendously! As friends, as business partners and as business owners.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
For the most part it has been a smooth road. We were able to start the business in a timely manner with minimal road blocks. We are both hard workers and dedicated a lot of time to the business to make sure we hit the ground running. It seems as though there is never enough time in the day to accomplish all of the to-do list tasks, but with two people and enough effort, we have done very well working together to reach a mutual goal.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We wanted to create a space that was welcoming, anxiety reducing, clean, professional and was filled with all of the latest and greatest technology for physical wellness and recovery. We did just that! We didn’t want a spa or a clinical type feeling, more of a classy lounge hangout that provided a community environment. After putting together our concept, and scoping out the competition we felt that we could create a space that was different than what was already existing in our local area. Sarah and I have an extensive knowledge in the health, fitness, nutrition, and wellness fields. With this knowledge we were able to create the space that we envisioned. The Mind Body Lounge came to life and we are so happy and excited to share it with friends, family, and our local community. We offer services that have already begun to change the lives of our clients. This brings us so much joy! The Halo Red Light Therapy room has been a fan favorite that has our clients experiencing better sleep, improved energy, better cognition, and not to mention skin improvement that’s taking years off of their look. Contrast therapy has been such a fun experience as we get to watch and coach members as they brave the cold plunges, seeing just how long they can push themselves in the cold. There’s nothing like a cold plunge to bring excitement into your world!

What was your favorite childhood memory?
Joel – riding motorcycles in the open range fields and creeks of our Kansas family ranch.

Sarah – getting on her horse, Shawnee, and taking off for the day with her dog, Baron. Just a teenage girl and her 2 best friends.
