Sara - Co-Owner, Head of Fitness & Marketing

Moving to Anguilla and opening a barre studio has been Sara’s dream for many years. Having first visited Anguilla in 2002, she naturally fell in love with the island and never thought she’d actually move to the Caribbean - until she met her perfect partner (who she also fell in love with).

Before moving to Anguilla, Sara kept herself busy in Boston by teaching 20+ cycle and barre classes a week at Equinox and Exhale, as well as a handful of private clients.

Sara is an Exhale Barre Certified instructor and holds an American College of Sports Medicine Group Fitness certification and a National Academy of Sports Medicine Personal Trainer certification.

When she’s not in the studio, or on the beach, she’s spending time with her dogs and cats: Mooka, Ting, Stout and Fete :)

J.W. - Co-Owner, Head of Operations

Up until a few years ago, J.W. had never heard of Anguilla. When Sara suggested Anguilla as a destination to celebrate J.W’s upcoming “big” birthday, he happily obliged, and quickly learned that Anguilla is the best place on Earth. Upon on hearing Sara’s dream to open a barre studio and cold-pressed juicery on Anguilla (and tapping into his own entrepreneurial spirit), he did everything he could to make it happen.

J.W. has spent the better part of his professional life working in the sales and operations world for a variety of financial institutions in Boston. J.W. is excited to apply his business smarts to a brand new, exciting (ad)venture.

When J.W.’s not in the studio, he’s on the golf course, at his favorite beach bar (Sunshine Shack), or also spending time with his animals.
