Bodies By Simone (BBS)- All their classes and private sessions are amazing. We do everything from dance cardio to ballet barre workouts. It’s so much fun and never boring. I love working out with girlfriends and making it something I look forward to.

Drink of choice:

At Kreation Organic Juicery, I make my own smoothies. I usually have a lot of greens in mine- mint, kale, spinach and parsley with banana and almond or coconut milk. Sometimes I add vegan protein to them to keep me going longer.
