OUR TEAM

Christine (CC)

Cycle, Box
"Your body can stand almost anything. It's your mind that you have to convince."

After CC stopped playing soccer she had to learn how to work out on her own. Thats when she fell in love with fitness/training.  CC's ultimate goal is to make fitness more of a career than a hobby. Fitness for CC has become her way of staying healthy physically and mentally. Getting a good workout in is a great way to clear your mind and devote some time to yourself! When not at work or Vault you can find CC outside hiking, kayaking, skiing and traveling!

What I love about rochester

Emma

Cycle, Strength
"Never say never because limits, like fears, are often just illusions."

As a high school and college athlete, fitness has always been a huge part of Emma’s life. After graduating, she has used exercise as more of a stress reliever and a positive way to channel her energy. Her routine includes strength training, HIIT and some well-placed yoga to balance everything out. You can expect strong coaching from Emma’s cycling classes with a musical mix of strong bass beats and uplifting lyrics!  Want to get on her good side? Bring her chocolate peanut butter desserts!

Autumn

Yoga
"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." - Rumi

Autumn has always enjoyed being active, but found her passion in yoga. Time and again she has found the best self-care is stepping onto her mat to “work in” as much as she steps onto it to work out. As an instructor, Autumn’s goal is to hold space for the VAULT community to feel supported showing up as they are to breathe and move in a way that feels empowering and purposeful. Outside the studio, you'll find Autumn ordering an iced chai latté, hanging out with friends, or soaking up sunshine/snuggled inside with (most likely) a thrilling mystery novel.

Cary

Yoga
"Not all those who wander are lost." -J.R.R. Tolkien

Fitness and athletics have always been a huge part of Cary's life. Cary played sports in high school, though most of her fitness journey has been in HIIT classes and on spin bikes. Cary earned her 200 hour in Bali and immediately felt compelled to share her practice with others.

After a few nomadic years in Southeast Asia, Cary returned to Rochester to enjoy family and plan out her next adventure. However, the universe had other plans for her and she's found her adventure right here at home on her yoga mat.

Stephanie

Owner
"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." -Mohammad Ali

The City of Rochester has such an amazing history, and, through the efforts of many, is being reborn with spirit, strength and attitude.  My vision was to create an urban, contemporary fitness studio for our unique community, something that Downtown has never seen before. From the best instructors in town, the lighting and sound systems, the lockers, showers and amenities, the unique art on the walls and the food in the grab and go fridge...the Vault experience is really special.

We focus on our member community as well as supporting our local business community to contribute to the growth of Rochester.

In Michelle’s class you can expect big energy & big beat drops paired with a little Boston attitude. Come ready to work hard, have some laughs, and trust your magic!

She has been hooked ever since!  As a skilled special education teacher, she will deliver a butt-kicking workout with clear, intentional instruction along the way. Brennan is a music enthusiast and spends a lot of time seeing big concerts and live performances. In her class, you can expect an upbeat sweat session with an awesome playlist!

Terrence

Box
"A true champion can adapt to anything" - Floyd "Money" Mayweather

Terrence’s love for sports and fitness comes from his father and brother, Travis. Growing up, he remembers his family talking boxing; mainly Mike Tyson.  After seeing one of Tyson’s fights, he was hooked!  Travis was the driving force for his involvement in track, baseball and football, bringing out Terrence’s competitive side.  Utilizing his talent for sports, he earned himself a ticket to college and now gives back to the younger community by coaching track and football, pushing his athletes to not only be great competitors, but great students and great people.

Breanna

Cycle
“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” Brene Brown

Breanna played many sports growing up beginning with karate and gymnastics and then soccer, basketball, and softball. From youth sports, she learned of only two outcomes: winning or losing. Cycling and group fitness has shown her that there is so much more to fitness including moving in ways that make us feel good and being a part of a supportive community. Breanna has always loved music and is grateful to have found a way to use music to make us move, feel powerful, and give us the space to be our wildest, most authentic selves.

Mackenzie

Cycle
It’s a great day to have a great day.

Originally from Poughkeepsie, NY, Mackenzie graduated from the University of Buffalo. Mackenzie used to view working out as a punishment, until she discovered Rhythm Cycling!  She took her first class her senior year of college and it was "love at first ride!" Ever since that first class, cycling has become a major part of her life and now views working out as a celebration of all that your body can do for you. When not in a cycle class you can find Mackenzie either at Chick-fil-A or watching the Bills!

Chandler

Cycle
"If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you."

Comin in hot from Long Island, Chandler fell in love with Rochester after graduating from SUNY Geneseo. If you're searching for that electric energy and some good hair- flipping beat drops, Chandler's classes are the way to go. Get ready to tap into a stronger version of yourself and discover potential you never knew you had with her spunky, high intensity classes that are nothing short of rewarding. When Chandler isn't at the studio you can likely find her attending concerts, enjoying a marg at Dorado, traveling or sipping a cappuccino at her favorite local coffee shop, Fuego.

Maddie

Cycle, Box
"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." - Jane Goodall

Maddie played competitive sports her entire life and never considered fitness outside of that. When her college soccer career finished, she felt she had lost her sense of purpose for training and fitness. At VAULT Maddie found her new team and fitness community. After her first ride, she knew she had found her new purpose. For Maddie, cycling is a release mentally, physically and emotionally. It provides the opportunity to push her limits, set goals and grow.

Sarah

Strength
"Your circumstances and your past do not define you. Make the best of today as tomorrow is not guaranteed."

After college, Sarah struggled with finding and starting a fitness routine. She instantly fell in love with the Zumba format. Two years later, she decided to become an instructor to hopefully inspire others who may have had the same struggles. Shortly after, she added running and strength training to her routine. When Sarah's not at Vault, you will find her around town with her biggest obsession - her dog, Turk. He's the one who inspired her post-class phrase "Please tell your pets I say hello."
