What first got you into fitness as a lifestyle and career?

I’ve been a dancer my whole life and was always looking for ways to cross train to stay healthy and strong for my intense dance schedule. I’ve done a variety of fitness classes, but I discovered HIIT when I moved to LA and absolutely fell in love. I think Sanctuary is the perfect quick and full body class to get you feeling recharged and ready to tackle your day!

What does the word "Sanctuary" mean to you?

To me, “Sanctuary” is a safe haven where you feel welcomed yet pushed to be your best self. That is what I feel every time I walk through these doors. Almost like a home for meditation--where I need to be in this sanctuary surrounded by like-minded people in order to feel sane. Especially in a time like today, I think it is so important for everyone to find their Sanctuary.
