CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Edith Bourne had a passion for fitness when she left Peru for the United States seven years ago. She hopes to share that passion with customers at her new fitness studio in Hurricane.

Bourne opened the Isla Bonita Fitness Studio at 3544 Teays Valley Road last November. She said her father, Humberto Alva, inspired her to open the studio.

"My dad was a bodybuilder," Bourne recalled. "He had a couple of different gyms in Peru where he had boxing classes."

Bourne said fitness is important to people in her hometown of Lima, Peru. She began helping her father, Humberto Alva, at his gyms when she was 17 years old, and being around her dad and his clients spurred her love of fitness.

"I always saw him running, working out, lifting weights any time of the day," Bourne said. "I think I got that from him."

Bourne moved to the United States with her husband in 2005. She began teaching fitness classes to her neighbors out of her basement and eventually began teaching at other area fitness studios in 2007 "just for fun" and to meet people.

But her goal wouldn't be fulfilled until she opened a place she could call her own.
