Sarah Hoots is the owner of Atlanta franchise SculptHouse, the world’s first fitness studio to combine the human-powered Lagree Megaformer and Woodway treadmill in a total-body class that melds together the elements of Pilates, cardio training and weights to create a revolutionary, body changing workout. The upscale studio features generous social spaces, a luxurious shower and blow dry bar, keyless lockers with USB phone chargers and a retail collection of high-fashion activewear by leading designers. Bringing this unique fitness method to Sandy Springs is a culmination of Sarah’s drive, commitment and perseverance to succeed. Sarah’s early equestrian years eventually led to competitive weight training, obstacle races and cycling. It was her need for low-impact, lengthening exercise that brought her to SculptHouse in 2016. After the first class, she was hooked and the quick waist-whittling results made her a believer in SculptHouse. Diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma in 2017, Sarah is a cancer survivor at age 27 and left the corporate world to share her passion for changing lives through fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Sarah believes in the profound power of an uplifting environment where individuality is celebrated, and people can sweat, smile, encourage, inspire and connect. She hopes to foster this sense of fun and community at her new Sandy Springs location, slated to open in summer 2018. Originally from Albany, Ga., Sarah put down roots in Atlanta in May of 2015 upon finishing graduate school at Lipscomb University in Nashville. An adventure traveler, she has trekked and explored throughout Europe and South America with hopes of conquering Mount Everest and Kilimanjaro by 2020. Sarah is also a fan of Renaissance History, Buckhead Church and great vegan restaurants

PENSACOLA BUSINESS WOMEN MEET WITH RUSSIAN DELEGATION ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP

June 2018

Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast discussed women entrepreneurship with Congressionally sponsored Open World Program

At the invitation of the Gulf Coast Citizen Diplomacy Council, Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast met with a group of 6 women entrepreneurs from Russia visiting Pensacola through the Congressional sponsored Open World Program. This program brings emerging leaders from participating countries to the United States in order to give them firsthand exposure to the American system of participatory democracy and free enterprise.

The women from Russia were in their 30s and are business owners or hold positions equivalent to higher-level management and were from various areas of Russia. They were in Pensacola for the week and met with Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast (PWGC) and several other local organizations and businesses for conversations about women in business or entrepreneurship.

Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast’s mission is to promote, advance, and improve women in business and about a third of their membership is entrepreneurs. The conversation included an introduction of PWGC, how they started and how they operate by Founding Director, Kolleen Edwards Chesley. PWGC was able to include several advocates of their organization in the conversation including: Michelle Salzman of Salz Studio (PWGC member), Kaila Barrington of Levin Rinke Realty (PWGC Board Member), and Margie Kalaluhi of Heart Centered Wellness (PWGC member and Board Member). These ladies shared their experience with PWGC, spotlighted their own businesses, their passion for women-helping-women and they talked about their thoughts of women in business.

Margie Kalaluhi, commented, “It’s an honor to have been invited into this conversation. I have been involved with PWGC for 13 years and to be able to discuss what a women’s organization dedicated to business development has done for me and my business with women from Russia who hold such high positions in business in their own country was amazing.” The women from Russia shared their experiences and talked about what is available in Russia for business women. One of the Russian women is alumni from the largest business school in Russia, another is on the board for a large women’s business organization, and they all shared a passion for women’s leadership and women supporting other women.

Michelle Salzman added, “Having a community conversation with the purpose of sharing our views on how we can work better together as women and how to support all women in business is exciting; however to share that with women from across the globe really took it to the next level.” Kolleen Edwards Chesley added, “Conversations like this one help us to be proud of what we have in our community and inspire us all to continue to grow and make our communities even better.”
