178. Taryn Toomey, CEO & Founder Of The Class


Listen Later

The Class, which is often described as a workout for your emotions, really helped me through some tough times — specifically during the pandemic. Today, I'm chatting with its founder and CEO Taryn Toomey. Truthfully, the first time I went to The Class, I thought it was bizarre. But as Taryn and I talk about in episode 178, I wasn't really ready to surrender just yet to what it had to offer. In methodology, it's kind of like a combination of cardio and Pilates. But really, it's so much more than that. Taryn tells me how she developed this style of workout, and details how she herself leaned into fitness and yoga in her early years in New York to navigate some tough times. Plus: The benefit of putting down technology to come back to center, how to have a healthy relationship with movement when it's your emotional outlet, and where The Class is going in the future.
