Bridget G., 31, of Brooklyn, NY worried that a hip injury could limit her workout options, but she found everything she needed to stay in shape with Pvolve. Before I came across Pvolve, I thought I might never be able to do workout classes again. I was in the process of recovering from a hip injury I got from cardio kickboxing, and the pain was bad. Some days, it was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t even sit down in a chair. It took a year of seeing my physical therapist and chiropractor twice a week to get to the point where exercising was even an option. I’m a very active person, so I was more than ready to work up a sweat again. But my doctors said that I needed to stay away from high-impact workouts to avoid reinjuring my hip. I didn’t know if I’d ever find a routine that was both doc-approved and physically challenging. Then, while searching through the ClassPass app, I discovered Pvolve. The Workout I Was Searching For Pvolve is a high-intensity routine but it’s also low-impact, so it got the green light from my doctors. But would it give me the workout I wanted? I took my first class in July 2022 at the New York City studio, and the answer was a resounding “yes.” That class with Melanie sold me on the method. I quickly noticed how much it challenged my core, which was fantastic, since my doctors said I needed to strengthen this area in order to lessen my chance of reinjuring my hip.   I also loved the use of the Pvolve equipment—those gadgets may look unassuming, but trust me, they will humble you. But what stood out most of all was that the moves, especially the internal and external rotations that Pvolve is known for, were gentle on my hip. I was thrilled! A Fan for Life After that first class, I started going to Pvolve a lot—I’m talking three to four times a week. And even with that frequency, my hip didn’t suffer. If anything, the exercises were improving my hip mobility. Now, I honestly can’t get enough and attend a Pvolve class almost every day of the week. I jump out of bed for my 7 a.m. classes during the work week and celebrate the weekends with a Saturday and Sunday class. I started telling everyone I could about the classes, and recruited friends and family to go with me. Having them there is amazing, but it’s just icing on the cake, since I’ve always got my Pvolve family. From the employees at the front desk to the trainers, the Pvolve community is incredibly welcoming and supportive. I wish everyone could experience this level of cheerleading.  Always a Challenge You’d think that with my very active Pvolve status, the classes wouldn’t hold many surprises anymore—not true! The amazing thing about the Pvolve Method is that it continues to challenge you in each class. Just when I think I’ve mastered something, I add a little more resistance or modify a move slightly and—bam!—I have a new goal to work toward. Now, nine months into my Pvolve routine, I’m enjoying major changes in my fitness. My strength has improved, especially in my core, my arms are toned, and my balance—which was seriously shaky when I started—is notably better. And I’m happy to report that I haven’t thought about my hip in ages! I’m so glad that my injury didn’t hold me back from trying something new. I can’t imagine my life without Pvolve in it.  5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Discovering a hip-friendly routine A hip injury left me worried that I may never be able to do workout classes again, so I was thrilled to find Pvolve’s low-impact classes. 2. Getting excited for every class I go to the Pvolve studio almost every day of the week (seriously!) and each time, I’m so excited for class to begin. 3. Seeing new definition My arms are more toned than ever, and I thank the P.band for much of that. People underestimate it, thinking it’s just a resistance band, but it will humble you. 4. Experiencing non-physical changes It’s not all about the toning! I feel more energetic since starting Pvolve, and my mood is just better. 5. Continuing to grow Even though I go to so many classes, Pvolve continues to physically challenge me. I always have a new goal to work toward, so I never get bored.

Fed up with feeling sore from her workouts, Laura M., 53, hoped to get a low-impact (but still effective!) workout with Pvolve. The method didn’t disappoint. When it comes to working out, I’ve tried it all, starting with Jane Fonda aerobics back in the ’80s. My exercise journey has led me to activities I love (cross-country skiing and hiking with my dog!). But I’ve also had my share of misses, like HIIT and CrossFit classes that left me sore and limping about. And even though the workouts were tough, I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. Instead, I just felt puffy. Flash forward to May 2020. I had just turned 50 and I was ready for something that checked two boxes: gentle and effective. A Google search (“exercises that are nice on your body”) led me to the Pvolve Method, and I decided to give it a try. It was the early days of the pandemic—and I live in Minnesota—so an at-home class was my only option. Pressing play on that first workout was one of the best things I could do for my body. The Class That Changed Everything  There are multiple ways to experience Pvolve: in-person classes, live virtual studio workouts, and streaming classes. I started with the pre-recorded sessions. My first reaction was that the moves felt good. (Box #1, check!) But I'm the type of person who tends to slack off when exercising solo, and I knew I wasn’t giving 100%. I missed having real-time encouragement. I played roller derby for four years, so I do like to be pushed! I decided to try a Live Virtual Studio class, where you can keep your camera on (if you choose to), allowing the instructors to watch your form and provide in-the-moment feedback. That’s when it all clicked. Having a trainer’s eyes on me encouraged me to push myself a bit harder. It also made me realize that my form had been off. The trainers called that out (“Laura, rotate your ankle slightly to the left” or “Laura, raise your arms a little higher”). Once I nailed the technique, I discovered just how intense a Pvolve workout can be. Box #2, check!  A Bone-Boosting Routine I’m postmenopausal and already have osteoporosis, so I have to take my bone health into consideration when working out. I love the Progressive Weight Training series, which helps to build muscle and improve bone density—so important for women my age. And the fact that Pvolve trainers provide modifications for so many moves has made all the difference for me, because there are certain exercises that I just can’t physically do. I used to feel like my workouts tore my body apart, but Pvolve is restorative. Whether my body needs strengthening, stretching, or something else, there’s a Pvolve workout that fits that need. And the equipment has helped me tap into muscles that were long ignored in my previous workouts. I remember using the P.ball for the first time and feeling my abs engage in a completely new way. Strong for Life Pvolve doesn’t stop once class ends; I keep the method in mind during everyday activities and when I’m exercising outdoors. During a recent cross-country skiing outing, for example, I focused on knitting in my ribcage and rolling my shoulders back (two cues I learned from these workouts). Those tweaks made me feel stronger than ever on my skis. Instead of relying on my legs to propel myself through the snow, now I was tapping into my core strength too. These days, I do Pvolve about twice a week. I’m proud of the results! My arms are toned, my clothes fit better, and people compliment me on how fit I look. But it’s how I feel that matters most. Pvolve is a safe space for my body, and I’m so thankful to have found it. 5 of my Pvolve highlights 1. Finally finding a feel-good workout Pvolve trainers push you to be your best, but they never push you to do anything that could hurt you. I’m in my 50s and have orthopedic concerns, so that’s important for me! 2. Feeling the virtual community love I may work out by myself at home, but I feed off the energy from the instructors and other members during each live virtual studio class. 3. Perfecting my form Pvolve moves are different from your go-to gym exercises, but once you master the technique, you’ll feel—and see—the difference. 4. Using Pvolve moves outside of class I tap into what I learn in class when I’m out cross-country skiing. It’s made me a stronger skier! 5. Newfound strength I’ve been able to strengthen areas of my body where I used to have instabilities. It makes everyday tasks, like walking down the stairs, easier.

After years of bouncing between different workouts, Anna T., 36, found Pvolve—and now she’s devoted to her studio classes.  How’s this for a love story: I took my first Pvolve class on Valentine’s Day, 2022. I was coming out of a breakup, managing a heavy workload, and I needed something just for me. While scrolling through the ClassPass app, I noticed Pvolve. Intrigued by the functional movement explanation, I decided to give it a try.   My first class was with Mel at the New York City Soho Studio. Was it love at first sight—or sweat? Not exactly. The classic Pvolve moves, like internal rotations, felt foreign to me. But Mel taught an amazing class—the energy hyped me up and took my mind off of work and my ex—and I knew I had to come back.   Results I’d Never Seen Before  When I started Pvolve, I wasn’t new to working out. I used to do yoga, reformer Pilates, and low-impact, high-intensity classes. But Pvolve was the first studio I truly committed to. Each class is different, so I never get bored. Now, I take a class three to four times a week. It’s non-negotiable for me. Everyone at my office knows that on my Pvolve days, I’m out the door at 6:00 p.m. in order to make my class.   The consistency—combined with some tweaks to my diet—has changed my body in ways I never experienced with other workouts. During class a few weeks ago, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and couldn’t believe it was my reflection. My abs were more defined than ever. I see the payoff in my arms, thighs, and even my butt (which was previously nonexistent, if I’m being honest). Now it’s got a little perkiness and shape to it!   My energy levels have also jumped and I just feel better head to toe. Sitting at the computer for long stretches of time used to trigger lower back pain for me. But strengthening my body has helped nix that discomfort and improve my posture.   Real World Payoffs  Pvolve has made me a believer in functional movement. I’ve noticed that daily activities, like walking up a flight of stairs, leave me less winded. But I really put Pvolve to the test during a solo birthday trip to Dominica last May. I booked a wellness package to treat myself, which came with daily massages and outdoor activities, including a challenging hike up to a waterfall. I had every intention of skipping that—I was there for the pampering, not the peaks! But I changed my mind, and I am so glad I did.  The hike was steep and slippery—and I powered through it! I felt strong and like a total badass, and it made me realize that Pvolve was transforming my life outside the studio too. I found myself relying on go-to Pvolve techniques (like those internal rotations that tripped me up during my first class) to maneuver up and down the mountain, and had zero problem keeping my footing on the uneven terrain. All those Pvolve classes spent improving my balance on the Slant Board really paid off!  Sharing the Pvolve Love  I gush about Pvolve to anyone who will listen, and feel so lucky that I found this workout. I recently started ending the work week with a Friday evening Pvolve class. It’s the perfect way to shake off stress and give my body and mental health some TLC.  I know that starting a new workout can be intimidating, but everyone is welcome at the Pvolve studio, and the classes are made up of people from different backgrounds and with different body shapes. Each interaction I have—from the warm welcome at the front desk to the cheerleading from the instructor during class—reminds me why I keep at this: Because I love it. And if you ask me, it’s impossible not to fall for Pvolve!  5 of my Pvolve highlights  1. Discovering a diverse workout community Everyone is so sweet and welcoming at the Pvolve studio, and I love that the classes attract people of all backgrounds and fitness levels.  2. Finding a stress outlet My job can be a lot, but my Pvolve classes are a much-needed release.   3. Seeing my new definition Um, check out those abs!  4. Gaining newfound confidence I credit Pvolve for giving me the strength to tackle a tough hike while traveling.  5. Committing to my health Pvolve has given me something I can stick with, and the studio classes never disappoint. Each one is different, so I never get bored! 

  When COVID hit, Kristina was looking for a new way to get the recovery workouts she needed when she was training for a half-marathon. A devoted CrossFitter, she thought her body had to feel sore and tired to get a good workout.  Enter Pvolve. Kristina found a way to get stronger at home without overly taxing her body. What were your initial goals when first starting to do Pvolve consistently? My initial goal was to add low-impact workouts on my days off from training for a half-marathon. I signed up for Pvolve shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began and I no longer had access to classes at my gym. I wanted to incorporate recovery workouts and workouts that would help open my hips and strengthen my glutes and hamstrings while training for a race in August 2020. I found pretty early on that I was more mobile and experienced less pain in my hips after particularly hard runs or other high-impact workouts. What does your Pvolve routine consist of? My typical Pvolve routine consists of four to five Live Virtual Studio classes a week, and one or two on-demand videos when I can’t make a live class. I love that the Live Virtual Studio classes are early enough for me to get in a good 55-minute workout before I head to work at the hospital! There are so many on-demand options where it is easy to mix and match videos for a total body workout as well.  When did you know that Pvolve was working for you and your goals? Did you have an “aha” moment? Prior to Pvolve, I was doing CrossFit and running nearly every day. My body was sore and exhausted, but I thought that was normal. When the pandemic hit, I no longer had access to CrossFit, and I realized that what I was putting my body through was not good. Pvolve helped me realize what an effective workout is for my body. I can feel toned and still very sore without the exhaustion by just putting my mind to muscle and doing more functional movements.  What were the unexpected results you saw and felt? I gained better hip mobility. I didn’t realize how much tension I carried in my hips until I started with Pvolve. I love all the hip rotations that are incorporated into nearly every class. Visually, my abdominal area appears more toned, and my butt is more lifted. I feel more confident and full-heartedly believe that is due to Pvolve and being more in tune with my body during the workouts.  Why do you continue with Pvolve? I continue with Pvolve because I love the workouts and I love the community. A lot of us take the same live virtual studio classes throughout the week and it is so nice to be able to connect with other Pvolvers across time zones! Another reason is the Pvolve trainers, who are so friendly and really make it known that you can always reach out to them with questions. They are also always watching your form in the live virtual studio and provide corrections specific to you.  Favorite piece of equipment? My favorite piece of equipment is the P.3 trainer. I feel so sculpted and lengthened after every workout with it! It is extremely versatile and provides a total body burn. The piece of equipment that challenges me the most is the slant board. It tests my balance, ankle strength, and reach backs. I also love using it for bridges, as I am working towards a single leg glute bridge.   Aside from the physical aspect, how did the workouts help you mentally or emotionally? I look forward to my 5:00 AM workouts and know that no matter how hard it is, I will feel great afterwards. I also have been focusing less on the physical transformation and more on challenging myself to attempt a move that I was not able to do a couple of weeks ago. Can I maintain my balance? Can I feel my abs zipping up? Can I hold that plank? That’s what matters to me now, after a year of hard work with Pvolve. How do you think the workout will continue to help you recover and become stronger in the future? I think the Pvolve Method will continue to help with functional movement in my day-to-day life. I feel myself getting stronger with a consistent Pvolve routine, but I also notice a different in my ability to hike, snowboard, walk, and more. Pvolve and its functional movements have directly translated into all the other activities I love doing. The slant board has helped me maintain my balance on steep hikes. The p.sit is like how I stand on my snowboard. I have less pain when I wake up in the morning and when I walk. Pvolve is definitely a workout that I will continue to be doing for a long time. 

A year after giving birth to her second child, Pvolve member Nicole wasn’t feeling challenged enough by her low-intensity postpartum workouts. With two kids under five at home, she needed to find a workout she could do on her own time—one that would get her to push herself more than she was used to. Nicole found a new routine with Pvolve that not only fits into her busy life, but also helps her feel stronger and more comfortable in her body.  What were your initial goals when first starting to do Pvolve consistently? I discovered Pvolve two years ago. I was one year postpartum after my second child, and I had been doing another low-impact workout designed specifically for people who had recently given birth. It was good, but didn't have the intensity I was craving and felt physically ready for. With a four-year-old and one-year-old at home with me, I needed a workout that I could do at home with very limited time. That’s what Pvolve offered, with digital memberships and awesome equipment. There was really no need to go to a gym to feel like I fully worked out. What does your Pvolve routine consist of? I do Pvolve six to seven days a week—usually some virtual studios, and the amazing active recoveries and stretching videos. I work out for 30 to 60 minutes a day, depending on my availability... and how cooperative my kids are feeling. I honestly crave my workouts and look forward to them every day. Even on the days where I'm dragging, I get past that obstacle by remembering how amazing I will feel afterwards. And it has never let me down. When did you know that Pvolve was working for you and your goals? Did you have an "aha" moment? Honestly, as soon as I did my very first foundational video with Pvolve during my 14-day trial period, I knew it was for me. The workout was so hard, but I didn't feel dead afterwards. It was the oddest feeling: I was exhausted from working super hard, but also energized and just felt good. I truly believe that their pre-hab approach to fitness, getting stronger so we can prevent injury, works our bodies from the inside out. I have never felt that way before. Before kids, exercise was just a means to work my body as hard as I could, in an attempt to shrink myself down as much as I could. I have a history with disordered body image and super restrictive eating, and that influenced my relationship to exercise. Through some dietary changes, getting more sleep (thank you, kids!), hormone shifts as I finished breastfeeding, and especially Pvolve, I have definitely seen steady results. Physically, I didn’t change overnight, but since I’ve been keeping a consistent routine over the past two years, I have lost 15 pounds—back down to my pre-first-baby weight. I feel stronger, but also longer and leaner than I ever have in my life. Before kids, I felt like food was the enemy and exercise was an unhealthy obsession. With Pvolve, I've found my love for movement that is healthy and gentle, but also challenging. I've also fallen in love with my (post-two-kid) body that is far from perfect, but truly amazing. I never, ever thought I would feel that way. And that gratitude and appreciation for my body—which I often felt disdain for during my teenage years and twenties—is honestly what I'm most thankful to Pvolve for. What were the unexpected results you saw and felt? The unexpected results I felt—almost immediately—was how open my body felt. Before Pvolve, I thought I had chronically tight hips that would never change. After the very first workout, they felt noticeably more open. After about three months, I noticed my shoulder pain—which I've had since I was a teenager—was completely gone. The lower back pain from carrying a toddler and preschooler all day was gone, and I'm more flexible than I've ever been. Why do you continue to do Pvolve? Bottom line, I do Pvolve because I love it. It makes me feel strong physically, mentally, and emotionally. I appreciate the aesthetic results, but I think I would do it even without them. I'm also super grateful for the community. The trainers are amazing people who always lift me up and encourage me. The virtual studios have been such a cool experience since I don't live near a studio. Getting live feedback is good practice for perfectionists like me—that we're all in this together, focusing on form and always improving. I adore Dani and Maeve—they kick my butt like no other, but have the sweetest demeanors. Everyone I've interacted with, from customer service reps up to senior trainers, have always been so kind. Favorite piece of equipment, movements or on-demand video? Gosh, that’s so hard to choose! It's hard to beat the P.ball. There's simply nothing like it. The gliders are the sneakiest piece of equipment—they look unassuming, but will leave you flat out. In terms of workouts, the newer ones are next level good. I love the 30-minute abs & lower body sculpt with the P.ball. And the 40-minute lower body sculpt with light ankle weights makes my spine feel so decompressed that I'm pretty sure I gain half an inch of height. I also love, love, love Maeve's Arms & Core Sculpt Series. Aside from the physical aspect, how did the workouts help you mentally/emotionally? My mental and emotional resilience have increased drastically as a result of doing Pvolve. I completely credit it to the mind-body connection of this method. I need to really focus in order to push beyond thresholds and do the workouts properly. In my opinion, anyone who says Pvolve is easy isn't doing it correctly—I don't think I've seen anyone in better shape than Maeve, and you can tell how hard she works in these workouts!  Although I’ve experienced endorphins from high impact cardio and strength training before, I had never experienced the almost meditative state from honing into movement and being completely present with what my body is doing in that moment. It's honestly amazing and a gift. How do you think the workouts will continue to help you recover and become stronger in the future? I turn 36 this September, and have never felt better in my body. I'm grateful to have found Pvolve and am absolutely certain that it will bring me into middle age and beyond with a healthy, strong, mobile body that will allow me to care for myself, my family, and my community in the ways that I want to. It also provides the mental and emotional outlet that I need as an introvert. I told my husband that I love being a mom who Pvolves and I know I'll someday be a grandma who Pvolves too.

In the spirit of being Unfiltered for the month of October and in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're proud to share inspiring stories from our members who have battled or are currently battling breast cancer. This is more than just a chance to see how movement and Pvolve played a role in their journey; it's an opportunity for the women in our community to take the mic and share their stories in the most honest, raw way—no filters needed. Most know how impactful the Pvolve method can be on your body no matter where you are in life. For those battling or recovering from illness, it's our functional fitness method that can be a small piece of reprieve from pain.  Meet Judy—an L.A. native who joined the Pvolve family in April. Since then, she's done both on-demand videos and Virtual Studio classes, racked up an impressive set of equipment and set a consistent schedule of 5-6 workouts per week. But by the looks of her story, her workouts are more than just workouts; they're the way she found the upper-body alignment her body was looking for, the alone time she needed and so much more. Below, Judy shares her beautiful story:   I discovered a marble-sized mass in November 2018. I have no family history of breast cancer and never considered it occurring to me. I remember getting a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy and not worrying because I was confident it was ”going to turn out to be nothing." When I found out I had stage 2 breast cancer, I was in total disbelief. I considered myself a very healthy, fit women in her 40’s. Over the course of 8 months, I ended up needing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. I can now accept that I was sick for a while but I made a conscious effort to stay positive the whole time.  Two things saved my sanity during my medical care. One, I made it a priority to exercise the entire time no matter how weak I felt. Two, I was overwhelmed by kindness and support from family, friends and people I didn't even know who cared.  The importance of Pvolve has been in my recovery. I found myself needing physical therapy to help my range of motion after tissue changes from surgery and radiation. My arm and shoulder was very stiff. I discovered Pvolve when it popped up on my IG feed. I looked up the workouts and the use of functional movements and high-intensity, low-impact exercises really drew me in. I believe Pvolve will remain in my routine lifelong just as yoga does. I have always made exercise a priority. The physical benefits aside, I need exercise as my therapy. It is the only moment in the day when I am not a mom, a wife, a nurse. It is my alone time that makes me a better, happier person.  Looking back at my journey, I wish I had not been so assumptive about my health. The confidence I felt that I was doing everything right, made me never consider cancer as a possibility I hope when people hear my story, they will remember cancer does not discriminate. It's not your fault; it just happened. The defining moment is how you deal with something negative and see the positive that results from it. I'm still strong, I am still healthy, surrounded by love and I look at life with gratitude.  When you have cancer, it is easy to be the victim and let people feel pity for you.  I am not cancer, it does not define me. I take ownership of cancer as a small part of who I am. I actually revel in the fact that I look healthy and strong despite what I've been through.  Thank you, Judy Koempel Join us in supporting breast cancer research by signing up for one of our Moves for Boobs classes on 10/11 and 10/23. All proceeds from these two classes, as well as 10% of all sitewide proceeds for the week of 10/11, will be donated to the Society of Women's Health Research.

Known for her healthy recipes, self-care tips, and rock-solid abs, YouTuber Caroline Deisler is nothing short of a wellness guru.   We spoke with the London-based influencer to get the scoop on how the Pvolve Method and functional movement fit into her routine.  Q: How do you fuel your body in a typical day?  A: I get up around 6AM, do a little morning stretch routine (I always stretch before working out and love the fact that Pvolve promotes that, as well) and have a big glass of water with fresh lemon, one ginger shot and one pure aloe vera shot to get my digestion going. I then do a 30-45 minute workout and have a hydrating green juice with celery, cucumber, lemon, ginger and spinach afterwards. I spend about 2 hours on the computer working, mostly replying to emails, then around 11AM I have breakfast which is usually one (or two) of my favorite smoothie bowl recipes.  For a late lunch, I love to make big salads lately with roasted sweet potatoes, avocados, lots of greens, tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts and some seeds on top-- something very fresh and healthy. After some more work in the afternoon, I love to go for a long walk before dinner to get some fresh air in and to relax my mind. I love to make vegetable sushi for dinner along with a colourful salad consisting of lots of veggies and potatoes, or something like brown rice pasta. My post-dinner routine is having a hot peppermint and/or liquorice tea with a few dates for dessert–my favorite! Then it’s lights out around 10PM.  Q: How does Pvolve fit into your lifestyle?  A: Pvolve complements my wellness routines so perfectly because it's a very mindful workout that helps me connect my mind and body. It actually calms me down while it gets me toned, fit and strong. I also love how easy it is to do from anywhere. It’s kind of addicting!   Q: Favorite piece of equipment?  A: I love the ankle bands! I feel like my legs got super toned and lean from using them, and I´m always sore the next day.  Q: What’s your go-to travel equipment?  A: The ankle bands, gliders , P.ball and P.band!   Q: Most challenging move for you?  A: It´s probably an easy one for most people but I find it so hard to keep my knees back when doing hip hinges. Q: What are your best tips on feeling confident?  So many, but it all starts within you. Ever since I changed my diet and lifestyle, I have been so much more confident because I feel really good from the inside, and that automatically reflects on the outside. Be true to who you really are and embrace that. There is nothing more beautiful, in my opinion, than people who really live up to their dreams, people who stand up for what they believe in; those are the ones that inspire us. Nourish your body with nutritious and colorful food, workout because it makes you feel good, incorporate more you-time into your day, and be more mindful about the little things. It all adds up and will ultimately make you so much more confident. No one is like you but you, and that's your superpower!   We couldn’t agree more with those tips, and that is exactly the message and mindset we hope to instill in all of our members. Fitness is no longer just about liking the way you look, but about loving the way you feel – it's that that will bring you more confidence, vitality, energy and strength.  Check out Caroline's Instagram and Youtube channel for more wellness inspo and start your free trial to work out with us today.

We caught up with top-model and Pvolve-regular Blanca Padilla, and she gave us the low-down on her wellness routine. Read on to learn about her healthy habits and how she fits Pvolve into her busy lifestyle.   Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BREAKFAST TO FUEL YOUR DAY?  A: I usually start my day with a huge smoothie, making sure to add protein and lots of greens. I then add toppings like raspberries, blueberries, chia seeds, shredded coconut and ground flaxseeds for fiber and energy. I also love to start my day with pasture-raised eggs, either poached or in an omelet, with avocado on the side. I like chia pudding with berries as well because it’s great for busy weeks; it’s so versatile and easy to make ahead and grab on the go.   Q: HOW DO YOU DESTRESS DURING EVENTS LIKE FASHION WEEK, AND IN LIFE?   A: Taking time for myself. A little "me time" after a crazy day of events, meetings and castings is really what works for me. Getting a relaxing massage, a nice facial, or simply staying home to cook something yummy and journal. Self-care is key to being able to give back to others in all areas of your life.  Q: WHAT ARE YOUR GO-TO BEAUTY MUST-HAVES ON-THE-GO?   A: I always have to have a good lip balm with me. I’m a huge fan of rose water, and as far as my on-the-go look, it’s just concealer where needed, a bit of bronzer and highlighter (both also used for my eyes to add some depth), curled lashes, eyebrows brushed and a touch of lip liner that blends with your natural color.  Q: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE PVOLVE MOVE OR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT?  A: This is a hard one! I am obsessed with the Pvolve Method; my body just loves it so much! I’d say the P.band is a great addition. I also love using the light ankle band and getting into internal and external rotations. My favorite moves include a lot of stretching. I love the beginning of the workout that wakes up the whole body and opening my hips on the mat after long flights. And anything that works my abs while stretching. I think that’s everything...   Q: WHAT SONG GETS YOU IN THE ZONE?  A: Almost anything, I love music.   Q: GO-TO OUTFIT WHEN ON OR OFF-DUTY?  A: Denim, denim, denim! Forever.  Q: HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR CONFIDENCE, IN DAILY LIFE AND AS A MODEL?  A: I think it’s about really internalizing that nobody has your potential or uniqueness. You can’t be good for everybody or everything, but there are things that make you vibrate and feel joy, and that’s the path you must follow. Your confidence will come if you forget about the noise and focus on whatever it is that calls your name. Nobody else can offer what you can when it comes to doing what you love. It is not about being perfect but about finding how and where you can shine. We’re all special, and if you don’t see that yourself, just know others see it in you.  Start streaming like a model today!
