it all started when…
Torrey Newman, Founder, and Ceo of fierce45® has ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE ABOUT MOVEMENT AND FITNESS SINCE GROWING UP AS A BALLERINA. OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS, she had BEEN SHARING her PASSION THROUGH TEACHING YOGA, AND she LOVEd THAT EACH CLASS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOMEONE'S DAY. TO HELP SOMEONE HEAL. TO HELP SOMEONE GET STRONGER PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. WHEN she STUMBLED UPON A SIMILAR METHOD IN NYC, she KNEW she HAD TO BRING IT TO DENVER. her HOPE IS THAT THIS CHALLENGING NEW WORKOUT WILL CHANGE LIVES AND HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR INNER FIERCENESS.
