Cole, DuBoise, and Brue shared their stories in the first of a series of talks and networking events that focus on "incredible women at the top of their game."

NEW YORK—In life and fitness, hard work and trusting the process are what matter, according to three New York fitness icons.

Their businesses are market leaders, and their inspiring stories of self-made success were told at a cozy event geared toward aspirationals on Oct. 20 at the W Downtown Hotel.
