The Monarch Experience
In 2023, Monarch Fitness was born from a simple idea: create the kind of studio that makes people feel stronger, more connected, and genuinely excited to move.
After years spent exploring different styles of fitness — from strength training and cardio to yoga, Pilates, and Lagree — the vision became clear: build a space that combines challenging, effective workouts with an atmosphere that feels welcoming, energizing, and community-driven.
At Monarch, fitness is about more than just exercise. It’s about how you feel when you walk through the door, the people beside you in class, the music pushing you through the final seconds, and the confidence you carry with you afterward.
Rooted in the belief that movement should support both body and mind, Monarch blends high-intensity, low-impact training with intentional studio design, motivating instructors, and a culture built around encouragement over intimidation. Every class is designed to challenge you while still meeting you where you are — whether it’s your first workout or your hundredth.
The goal has always been to create a studio where people of all backgrounds, body types, and fitness levels feel safe, supported, and inspired to keep showing up for themselves.
More than a workout, Monarch is a community built on strength, transformation, and connection — a place where people come not only to move better, but to feel better together.
Meet Our Founder
Kristin is the founder of Monarch, a mom of three girls, and someone who has always been passionate about helping people feel their best—inside and out. Her path has taken her from working in nursing homes in high school, to careers in hair and esthetics, owning a clothing boutique, Pilates franchising, and eventually teaching Lagree and building Monarch from the ground up.
No matter the role, the heart behind it has always been the same: creating spaces where people feel confident, supported, and empowered. Kristin believes fitness is about so much more than physical transformation—it’s about community, connection, confidence, and becoming the strongest version of yourself.
Monarch was built from that belief: a place where people can show up exactly as they are, work hard, feel supported, and leave stronger in every sense of the word.
