Robin

Owner/Yoga Instructor

Welcome to our website; we appreciate you stopping by. I’m Robin Mantay, the proud owner of State Street Fitness & Yoga. My journey with yoga began back in 2005 when I was working as a massage therapist at a studio downstate. Not long after, I took on the role of manager there and, in 2013, became a certified yoga instructor. How lucky I was to again find something I so much enjoyed doing and that had such a positive impact on others.

Starting Small, Dreaming Big

Fast forward to 2020, and we made the exciting move to Onaway. We absolutely love our home and life here but just felt like something was missing—my yoga practice, a dedicated studio, and a sense of community. So, in January 2021, we took the plunge and opened our studio with just two yoga classes.

Move, Sweat, Connect & Repeat

We now offer 14 regularly scheduled classes each week that include yoga, strength training, cardio, and pilates. All levels are welcome, as there is something here for everyone. Our amazing community fosters strong connections in this space. Catch up with old friends and make some awesome new connections, all while finding a healthier version of yourself.

Making Memories On & Off the Mat

Outside the studio, we are blessed with 2 adult children and 2 amazing granddaughters. In the summers we enjoy the sunshine, friends, and our time playing on Black Lake.

Helena

Fitness Instructor

Hi, I’m Helana! Health and fitness have always been a part of who I am. I’ve been involved in sports and physical activity for as long as I can remember—it’s what keeps me energized and ready to enjoy the things I love.

Bringing Energy & Inspiration

In 2022, I began teaching at State Street Fitness & Yoga, and it’s been an amazing opportunity to bring something positive and uplifting to the community. I love seeing people gain confidence in their own skin, embrace their individuality, and grow stronger in every way. You’ll find me leading HR Fit, Pilates, and my high-energy cardio class, HR Moves, where I sometimes add a little challenge and competition to keep things exciting!

Adventures Beyond the Studio

Outside the studio, I’m all about outdoor adventures—kayaking, riding horses, and spending time with family are some of my favorite ways to stay active and connected. Join me for a class—I can’t wait to move with you!

Marlene

Desk Manager

Hello! My name is Marlene George, and I’ll be in the studio to have the coffee ready on some mornings and greet you before classes begin. I had been practicing gentle yoga on and off for about 4 years or so, and with a little coaxing from my sister, I became a member and added fitness to my schedule. 

Finding Purpose, Finding Balance

My new routine was a nice addition to my free days of retirement. As the studio grew with new classes, Robin mentioned she might need some help, and I was happy to fill some of my free time and take care of my mind, body, and soul, too!

Love, Laughter, and Lake Days

My husband, Tim, and I have a daughter, Teresa, and a son, John (and Erika). We have been blessed with four granddaughters and one grandson. We enjoy traveling, living on the lake, and keeping up with all our family activities.

Barb

My name is Barb Coleman. I will be here to welcome you to your yoga and fitness classes. I had never done yoga prior to coming to State Street Studio. Yoga and fitness have now become a huge part of my life. When Robin asked me if I would be interested in joining her team I was honored. I love all of the yoga and fitness classes. I have never felt better or been stronger.
