Click here to take class with Katie.
Katie Hoak is our dancer / surfer who has been working out since she was three-years-old. She said her mom enrolled her in ballet classes in her hometown of Greenville, SC and it just kept going through college - but she opted for other kinds of workouts by the time she was an adult living in NYC. That's where she met her husband Jerry and they spent 10 happy years playing Mad Men together in the big apple.
Katie found TURN on Groupon after moving to Richmond. She says, "I was desperate to get into a more consistent workout routine after moving to RVA from NYC and came across TURN while looking for dance classes." So what does she love about TURN? love the variety of classes. It’s so unique for a boutique studio to offer more than one type of workout focus and TURN has that in spades. It allows you to have both the close-knit community the boutique studio offers paired with the full menu of the bigger gyms. The people are awesome too ☺️"
When she's not teaching Surf, you can find Katie outdoors - walking, hiking, biking and paddle boarding on the James. She also has a one-year-old daughter named Prinn and is having a blast introducing her to new things from swimming, to museums, to animals. "I love seeing the world through her eyes."
MORE ABOUT KATIE:
Birthday: July 16
Favorite Food or Drink: Tacos. I could eat Mexican food every day of my life and be a very happy lady. Drink-wise, I run on cold brew coffee with a side of rose.
Favorite Dance Move: I love pirouettes - turning was always my favorite.
Favorite Workout Song: Anything by Lady Gaga. I also love “Sorry” by the Beebs.
Fitness Inspiration: Anything that makes me smile while I’m going it and challenges me to use my brain. Favorite quote: “It is not our abilities that define who we truly are. It is our choices.” Yeah, that’s Dumbledore nerds.
