MEET THE SQUAD
V
When V found group fitness, it hit her like a truck that THIS is what she was always meant to be doing! She spent the majority of her childhood dancing so her love for movement and music ran deep. V has spent over a decade teaching and falling in love with different modalities of fitness such as Barre, Pilates, Boxing, and Indoor Cycling along with earning her NASM-CPT. When V had the idea to create Bodied, it was about a new and unique workout yes - but also about the way she wanted to make people feel. It’s about empowering people, leveling up, doing the work, evolving into who you are, and letting people truly see you. Show up however you need to and V will make sure you SHOW OUT!

JESS
Jess has been teaching fitness since 2015 and believes that working out is her hobby, passion, therapy, and religion. She took her first fitness class in 2014 and was blown away. It was the first time she realized you could enjoy working out so much that you were excited to leave class just to book your next class! She knew almost immediately that she wanted to teach. With a background in Barre and Pilates, Jess has a deep understanding of the body and knows what to do with it. Jess met V when she first moved to Denver and they instantly connected in the fitness scene. When V asked Jess to join Bodied, she felt like it was a dream come true! It is important to surround yourself with people who inspire you and that is why she is beyond excited to be a part of this community and help create the magic!

After earning a double major in Business and Advertising from CU Boulder, Julie met V at SoulCycle, bonding over their shared fitness passion.

Her dance and fitness career took off in Los Angeles, where she performed as a member of the Los Angeles Laker Girls and fine-tuned her training skills, instructing for the Tracy Anderson Method. Her classes are all about energy and inspiration, with carefully selected music that lets clients lose themselves in the rhythm and shake off their everyday stresses.

SARAH
Sarah’s group fitness journey began in High School when her mom invited her to her gym. Les Mills Body Pump and Step became their routine, and it was the first time she was excited about exercise. Shortly after her mom passed in 2015 she enrolled in a 200-hour yoga training, then sculpt, and eventually spin. Instructing has been one of her favorite ways to honor her mom. Since moving to Denver in 2022 she has taught yoga, yoga sculpt, and coached teacher training. A student recommended Bodied during training, and she was hooked. The class was hard, but the community was what kept her coming back. She was overjoyed to receive the opportunity to join the team and hopes you feel the same warm, inviting, and uplifting vibes every time you take class.
