Emma grew up as a competitive swimmer and discovered a love of running in high school, participating on the cross country and track teams. While in college, she missed the mental and physical challenge that both of those sports offered and on a whim, decided to try barre when her friend—CB’s very own Sydney—invited her to a class. She’s been all in on barre since that first class in 2019 and even followed Sydney to City Barre, where she fell in love with the studio, instructors, and community. A barre class is her favorite way to clear her head after a work day and the best way to start a weekend.
