Ticket Reservations: Reserve your Ticket on Eventbrite About Uforia Studios
At its heart uforia studios is a fitness community. uforia Founder Sarah Lux moved to the Bay Area from Canada in September 2006. The first thing Sarah found missing from her new home was a place that offered genuinely fun, non-intimidating fitness classes in a community that fostered relationships between classmates and their teachers. Sarah began to dream up fitness classes that recreated the vibe, energy, and euphoric feeling you get when you’re on a team. Our mission? One crew on a mission to sweat, connect, and feel the beat!
