Co-founded in 1994 by former number one middleweight boxer, Michael Olajide, and Leila Fazel, a former ballerina, Aerospace claims to offer “a revolutionary new fitness that engages body, mind, and spirit.” Leila explained that the Aerospace workout is “revolutionary” in two ways: first, it does not involve any machines, and second, it has its foundation in athlete-level boxing to engage cardio, muscle endurance, and core strength.
I was introduced to Michael and Leila by my friend Richard Corman, renowned portrait photographer. After our first meeting I fell in love with their energy, mission and space. We collaborated on their first marketing campaign which featured Richard’s stunning black and white photography of the founders.
