Refreshing new Chamber member

Vital Hydration, a business that refreshes its clients, has joined Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce right after launching a special “fat reduction” special sauna.

As one of its newest members, Vital Hydration celebrated with a ribbon cutting Tuesday afternoon, June 10.

“I had been to a couple networking events that they had put on,” said Corina West, RN/CEO, of Vital Hydration, which is located at 0932 Murdock Road in West Knoxville. “John (Volpe, FWKCC executive board member) … talked to me about (the Chamber) and I definitely want to be part of this community.”

West said VH is a wellness center with a key update.

“I have an infrared and red light sauna,” she said. “It’s basically a two-in-one unit, and our newest device is called T-Shape 2 that helps with fat reduction and cellulite.

“We just launched (T-Shape 2) last month,” she added. “We’re very excited about it.”

West opened the business in December 2023, fully mobile with IVs and injections, then opened her brick-and-mortar location (at 10932 Murdock Road) in December 2024.

“When I started my business, it was heavily focused on IV hydration and therapy, just plain fluids or we mix different — I like to call them — cocktails of vitamins and minerals, targeting different symptoms for people,” she said. “We also do vitamin injections; we help people with weight loss; we do testosterone replacement therapy.
