Meet Casey & Shelby Zack

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Casey & Shelby Zack . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Casey & Shelby , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

Hi! We are Casey and Shelby ; twin flight attendants behind the brand Fit for Flight that teaches avid travelers how they can stay fit while enjoying their lifestyle, even while jet setting across the globe! We found our purpose by realizing there was always a divide between fitness and travel. It felt like we constantly had to choose between staying fit and healthy, yet if we were on vacation all of our fitness regiment had to be put in the back burner. We realized that it didn’t have to be one extreme or the other. How can we make fitness a healthy part of our lifestyle? Even when traveling? We realized a lot of others had this common problem, too so we came up with our instagram account (& now business) fit for flight and sharing all the workouts and tips we used to stay healthy and in shape while traveling that others can benefit from, too. We’re going to be coming out with a book soon, but we also found purpose in wanting to do more for the flight attendant community. Beyond helping our fellow travelers learn how to stay fit and healthy on the go, we also came up with our new business Location Loading that’s an apparel company which gives 6% proceeds from every item sold back to a flight attendant in need every month. Having a career as a flight attendant can be rough, so if we can provide a little financially relief I to a flight attendant who may be struggling to make ends meet; especially within their first few years of flying we know we are making a difference in the flight attendant community.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Hi! We are twin flight attendants who created the instagram account (& business) FIT FOR FLIGHT LLC. We realized there aren’t a lot of accounts out there that tie together BOTH travel and fitness, so that’s where our brand was born. Being avid travelers ourselves (& Casey having a background as a personal trainer), we have figured out the keys to staying in shape so you can enjoy your cake and eat it, too; no matter where you are in the world without feeling you need to choose between fitness and fun! We share free workouts every Monday, fun/ helpful travel tips & health tips throughout the week, and even recipes on Fridays that we post to our Instagram (@Fit_forflight) to help others learn how to stay in shape and stay healthy on the go as well. We also started a clothing company called Location Loading ( @LocationLoading__ ) on Instagram. With every item sold 6% is donated toward a flight attendant in need. It’s our way to make a positive difference in the flight attendant community because it can be tough to make ends meet when starting out as a first year or two flight attendant. Our proceeds are donated via the organization called Th.AIR.apy which is also an advocate for flight attendant mental health and awareness; and mental health is something we also advocate for on our own Fit For Flight account. We also have a new collection that just launched JULY 9th with Location Loading; including tees, hoodies, and more Dad hats. W are super excited about it. You can shop on LocationLoading.SHOP .

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

For us we have always been creative (this comes from our Dad’s side). We have also been hard working, and determined. We use failure as an opportunity rather than looking at it as a dead end & that it’s okay to pivot. (Something our mom always reminds us of this, too).

The advice we’d have for anyone wanting to improve on these skills or develop them is to just 1. Believe in yourself— if you don’t, who will? 2. Keep going after your goals; even if 9 doors don’t open, the 10th one will . 3. JUST START: you don’t have to be an expert. A part of achieving any goal is being able to learn as you go, adapt, use mistakes as learning moments, and keep moving forward.

This can be used in your fitness journey or even in your own business venture goals.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

We are looking for those who travel often and are into fitness and health. No, you don’t need to be a body builder or anything extreme but we’d love to connect with those who make fitness and health a positive part of their lifestyle; one they enjoy. We’d love to connect with others who share a love for travel and be able to help us spread the word about how important flight attendants are especially in the world of travel because without them, how would everyone safely get to their destinations? We’d love to be able to have more collabs for our brand location loading and have those who are avid travelers and appreciate flight attendants showcase their support by helping us get more word about the brand out there 🙂 we can be contacted via instagram @Fit_forFlight or @LocationLoading__
