Sarah shares how the soft accent lighting and LED candles replace harsh fluorescent lighting, setting the tone for a peaceful, rejuvenating workout experience. Each class at Studio Elevate Fit is carefully crafted to be unlike any other, whether it’s a unique take on barre or one of their signature formats.
Throughout the conversation, Sarah opens up about the challenges and joys of running her own business while balancing family life with her husband Zeke and daughter Eleanor. She talks about the importance of building a supportive fitness community that not only focuses on physical strength but also nurtures mental and emotional well-being.
