Vas is an experienced RYT 200 trained instructor with certifications in Vinyasa, Yin and yoga for athletes. She fell in love with teaching back in 2015 when her aunt volunteered her to lead her entire college football team through a slow flow — not intimidating at all — but since that first class, she’s only loved it more. Vas strives to create an environment in the studio for her students to move and breathe in a way that makes them feel powerful and supported. She also prides herself on her ability to create a bomb playlist — one that will both energize and inspire you throughout. Outside of the studio, you can bet she’s at her parents’ house driving her siblings crazy, picking up a vanilla latte or laying on her couch.
KO fell in love with fitness through trying different workouts and because of how personal fitness is for each individual person. She believes that you are responsible for your own success, for creating and challenging your own limits and for holding yourself accountable. It is your distinct responsibility to find the type of training styles that make you happy and leave you feeling your best. For KO, that includes trail running with her pups and ADK hikes fueled with maple syrup drenched breakfast foods.
Autumn has always enjoyed being active, but found her passion in yoga. Time and again she has found the best self-care is stepping onto her mat to “work in” as much as she steps onto it to work out. As an instructor, Autumn’s goal is to hold space for the VAULT community to feel supported showing up as they are to breathe and move in a way that feels empowering and purposeful. Outside the studio, you'll find Autumn ordering an iced chai latté, hanging out with friends, or soaking up sunshine/snuggled inside with (most likely) a thrilling mystery novel.
For Mackenzie, fitness is more than working out to achieve a specific aesthetic. She considers fitness a therapy of sorts. Yoga, specifically, has always been a way for her to clear her head, become stronger (mentally and physically) and give her the confidence to handle the struggles life can sometimes bring. She began teaching to provide a space for others to come as they are and take whatever they need each time they hit the mat. When she’s not in the studio, she loves taking advantage of Rochester’s very brief warm weather for outdoor workouts, as well as HIIT classes to push her limits and bring out her competitive side!
Terrence’s love for sports and fitness come primarily from his father and brother, Travis. Growing up he remembers his family talking boxing, mainly about Mike Tyson. After seeing one of Tyson’s fights, he was hooked! Travis was the driving force for his involvement in track, baseball and football, bringing out Terrence’s competitive side. Utilizing his talent for sports, he earned himself a ticket to college and now gives back to the younger community by coaching track and football, pushing his athletes to not only be great competitors, but great students and great people.
Carly is passionate about using movement as a tool for turning inward to connect with the self. As someone who long struggled with anxiety and problematic patterns, yoga taught her the skill of becoming self-aware, which has deeply impacted the way she experiences life. A Rochester native, she recently moved back to the area after spending most of her adult life in Seattle, WA, where she became an RYT 200 twice- most recently studying with Awakening Yoga Academy. As a teacher, it is her goal to encourage people to show up for themselves, practice compassion, and use their yoga practice to teach the body and mind that it can do hard things on and off the mat. When she isn’t practicing yoga or training handstands, you can find her with her nose in a book, cooking something elaborate, or exploring the outdoors with her partner.
Amy L. went from gymnastics on playground handlebars and trees to having a strong foundation in strength training and cycling. Her fitness mentality revolves around goal setting, cultivating healthy and supportive relationships and building confidence to help participants face life’s challenges!
The City of Rochester has such an amazing history, and, through the efforts of many, is being reborn with spirit, strength and attitude. My vision was to create an urban, contemporary fitness studio for our unique community, something that Downtown has never seen before. From the best instructors in town, the lighting and sound systems, the lockers, showers and amenities, the unique art on the walls and the food in the grab and go fridge...the Vault experience is really special.
We focus on our member community as well as supporting our local business community to contribute to the growth of Rochester.
Maddie played competitive sports her entire life and never considered fitness outside of that. When her college soccer career finished, she felt she had lost her sense of purpose for training and fitness. Here at VAULT Maddie found her new team and fitness community. After her first ride (ever) she knew she had found her new purpose. For Maddie, cycling is a release mentally, physically and emotionally. It provides the opportunity to push my limits, set goals and grow. Maddie loves sharing her purpose and passion with others, especially now when health and wellness is more important than ever.
There is an inner strength and peace from movement that helped Shauna change her life. It allowed her to be more present in her relationships, in her work and within herself.

There are a few things she doesn’t share however…Swedish Fish and cuddles from her pup, Maggie!

You can expect strong coaching from Emma’s cycling classes with a musical mix of strong bass beats and uplifting lyrics! Want to get on her good side? Bring her chocolate peanut butter desserts!
For Robyn, yoga is all about connection, whether it be to the physical body, the community, nature, or to a deeper level of self-discovery. After moving home to ROC from NYC in 2014, Robyn took her first class and was instantly blown away by the mental shifts on top of the physical benefits.

Out of the studio, you can find her dancing to EDM, planning yoga retreats and dipping her toes into any body of water she can find!

Originally from Poughkeepsie, NY, Mackenzie graduated from the University of Buffalo. Mackenzie used to view working out as a punishment, until she discovered Rhythm Cycling!

Ever since that first class, cycling has become a major part of her life and now views working out as a celebration of all that your body can do for you. When not in a cycle class you can find Mackenzie either at Chick-fil-A or watching the Bills!
After CC stopped playing soccer she had to learn how to work out on her own. Thats when she fell in love with fitness/training. CC's ultimate goal is to make fitness more of a career than a hobby.
