We're getting sweaty, y'all! Ahead of our Rhythm & Burn x brb crying workout on October 24, we’re bringing together the souls behind the experience: Marie Ceralvo of iconic Filipina American music group One Vo1ce, Jen Uy (DJ Jayou) from Seafood City's Late Night Madness, and Coach Mike Pacis of The Premise Strength & Performance. On Saturday, Marie will lead our Pilates-inspired workout, Jen will DJ, and Mike will host us at The Premise SP. But first, in this 2-hour special (we are extra what can we say!!), we’re getting to know the people making it happen—and how music, movement, and community can nurture both physical and emotional wellness. First, Marie gives us a peek into her One Vo1ce days and how her lifelong love of music and movement led to a career in fitness. She opens up about the SoulCycle class that brought her to tears, why it’s okay to not be okay, and what the only acceptable Taco Bell order is. Jen then takes us behind the scenes of Seafood City's Late Night Madness, the Filipino grocery store parties bringing generations together through music and dance. We talk cultural connection, the healing power of DJing, self-discovery, and letting our community in...all while getting a little woowoo. Finally, Mike shares how martial arts, fitness, music, and audio engineering inspired his gym and the community-driven Rhythm & Burn experience. He opens up about entrepreneurship, what keeps him going, and what it means to model vulnerability and emotional strength for his kids. Real men cry, y'all :’) These conversations remind us that wellness isn’t a finish line or something we have to figure out alone. Sometimes, it’s movement that helps us release what we've been holding onto, music that connects us to our roots, and community that makes us feel safe enough to show up as our whole selves. Come cry, sweat, and connect with us! Join us on Saturday, October 24, at 10:00 AM PST at The Premise Strength & Performance in San Jose for our Rhythm & Burn x brb crying event. Expect a Pilates-infused workout led by Marie, a live set by DJ Jayou, a cry corner hosted by brb crying, and a chance to move, sweat, and connect with our community.
