Why SKYFIT EXISTS

I'm Cara, a wife and mom of three, raised in Charlotte. SkyFit is named after my oldest daughter, who I had at fifteen. That season of my life was one of the hardest I've lived through, and dance, something I'd done since I was four years old, was one of the things I lost along the way.

I also spent years struggling with obesity, and it was that struggle, along with wanting to feel like myself again, that led me to dance fitness. I found it on YouTube, fell in love, and went on to lose 115 pounds naturally. I got my group fitness certification through ACE, a nationally accredited organization, coached at Orangetheory Fitness for four years, and started teaching dance fitness and Kickboxing in 2016. In 2019, I built something of my own.

SkyFit is meant to be the safest room you walk into all week. It doesn't matter what your background is, your body type, your skill level, your age, or the kind of day you've had, you are welcome here. You don't have to be perfect. We have modifications for everyone, whether you're eighteen or seventy nine. I've built this to be one of the most inclusive dance fitness spaces there is, and I mean that.
