Jared is where the passion all started.
Jared founded Arrive with a brighter vision for gyms and studios. A native New York City boy with a country heart, Jared spent his post-college years (Wesleyan University, BA in Dance) as a dancer in San Francisco and New York, performing on the cities’ most prestigious stages.
Along the way, he recognized how design alters physical performance, people, and perception. Pilates and Personal Training came naturally as vehicles to practice the profound physical transformations and healing he'd experienced while training and recovering from his own injuries.
The problem?
The working spaces he found for training his clients were anything but conducive to health, whether because of stifling corporate policies or poorly integrated interiors cluttered with machines and disorganization. Maintaining a professional brand is even harder when you're chasing down invoices, stressing over bills, or working with an owner who doesn’t reflect your level of professionalism.
A new type of space
A chance encounter with the visionary manifesto “Cradle to Cradle: Remaking The Way We Make Things” opened Jared's eyes to the potential for a new type of space.
This new space would promote holistic changes — not just for your body, but also your environment, community, and city. He dreamt of integrating his eco and movement interest – and of a gym where green design was applied everywhere.
As a healthy space for a healthy body, the studio would highlight the trainer/client relationship to put clients first. As an enticing workspace for passionate professionals, a strong community could grow around it.
And that’s how Arrive was born.
