Meet Brynn Marie | Co-founder Kali Health & Fitness

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brynn Marie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brynn, what is the most important factor behind your success?
There are many factors that lead to a successful business in the fitness industry. One of the most important things I’ve learned over the past 10 years is how crucial teamwork is. Sort of like raising a child, it really does take a village. My husband, and business partner, always says- “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

We are committed at Kali Heath & Fitness to a level of excellence for our member experience that can only be accomplished when we work as a team. We aren’t only committed to a great experience for members, but also a super supportive and fun environment for our elite team of instructors. We believe their ability to perform and lead is largely effected by the support they feel from us as owners.

We strive to always work together because when our team feels appreciated and set up for success, they drip that same energy onto our members and community, making them all incredible ambassadors for our brand.

What should our readers know about your business?
Kali Health & Fitness offers a wide variety of class formats, as well as personal training and 1:1 health coaching to help you meet all of your wellness goals. The heart of our studio is community. It’s a space where we grow stronger together!

Kali isn’t just another place to take class. It’s a place to embrace our most free, flourishing, and healthful lives. We are leveling up to the penthouse versions of ourselves and striving to live our healthiest lives.

We are excited to continue to grow our community so we can make a large impact on the health and happiness of those around us! Starting a business is never easy, and neither is most anything worth having. Our passion drives us to be leaders in fitness & wellness, knowing these things make a big difference in our members’ mental health and overall well-being.

We overcome the many challenges that have come our way, and continue to come our way as a new business, by working as a team and always practicing what we preach. A teacher of mine once said, “you can’t lead someone through an experience you aren’t willing to have”. I’ve always remembered this lesson. It reminds me to stay grounded and live, speak, and act in truth and with integrity. All challenges can be overcome with faith and with the proper support system.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When my friends and family visit, I’m always excited to eat with them! I love moving my body, which requires the proper fuel! There is so much good food in LA.

I love breakfast at home, a sweaty spin/ strength/ stretch class at my studio, Kali Health & Fitness, followed by a lunch out at Sage Plant Based Bistro. The cauliflower wing platter is a must have!!

Another day calls for a morning walk in our neighborhood then a trip to Malibu, Huntington, or Manhattan Beach to see the ocean. Sometimes I’ll choose Santa Monica though, just to make a stop at my FAV- Sidecar Donuts!

Dinner time is the best. I love to take visitors to Toca Madera or our favorite restaurant- Catch LA.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to give a shout-out to our Co-founder, Eszylfie Taylor, and our Kali Health & Fitness Board of Directors, Rashmi Paul for pouring their efforts and ideas into our growing community. Our brand wouldn’t be possible without bringing our diverse strengths together.

I gave birth to our daughter, Kali, the evening before our studio opened! Eszylfie is not only my business partner, but my incredible life & birth partner. He was a strong, stable force for me during our home birth, then supported the studio the next morning as we opened our doors to our Founding Members for our first official classes!

Rashmi is always helping our team maintain a level of excellence that is out of this world! She specializes in brand development & brand partnerships allowing Team Kali to make a larger, positive impact. She also brings creative ideas to our community to keep our members inspired on their fitness & wellness journey.
