After studying theatre and business in NYC, Founder Nick Staples left abruptly after his sophomore year of college due to suffering from anxiety and depression. He quit his job on Broadway, at SoulCycle and Equinox and moved the next day home to Charleston, West Virginia. As he got home, he quickly realized he was missing the bike, and started Zenergy.

Nick is doing the most amazing work bringing boutique studios to cities that aren't always the ones you think of when you think of group fitness. No matter where you live, you deserve to have a fitness studio that you love.

You have seen the viral HEROBOARD machine on social media, now you are getting an inside look from Tina Provensano

Of course HEROBOARD is great for pilates, but Tina and I dive into all of the other formats that could benefit from a little bit of innovation!

Tina also created the coolest fitness studio in Garden City, ID that I am dying to get to one day. CULTURE. is more than a gym. It’s a space designed for people who want more from their workout experience — more energy, more connection, and a stronger sense of belonging.

I love taking classes when I travel, because I meet the greatest people. I met this week's guest when I was in LA last year, and found a cycling spot on ClassPass. Just goes to show that you can meet the best people by putting out into the world what you want to get back. (shoutout Caitlyn for that mantra at the end of this week's ep!)

You can ride with Caitlyn at the Purple Pedal in Fullerton, CA!

Strength has no size limit. This week we have BODYBAR Pilates instructor Evelyn on the pod to talk about how size, skin color, financial status all do not matter when it comes to movement.

Evelyn has become an absolute powerhouse AND a safe space on the schedule at the BODYBAR Chicago locations. I am taking her class after this episode airs, so wish me luck!
