So excited to be a @lululemon ambassador alongside @shannonmarksmith 🤍 We’re jumping our way through some of our favorite lululemon styles here in Santa Barbara. Bringing the energy, the movement, and all the good vibes ✨

✨Lululemon Ambassador✨
I’m beyond excited (and still a little in disbelief) to share that I’ve been asked—and very quickly said YES—to become the @lululemon Train Ambassador for Santa Barbara!
What started as a side hustle—something I simply loved doing—has grown into a purpose that continues to surprise and humble me. Being able to inspire, challenge, and support others as they work toward stronger, healthier, and happier versions of themselves is something I never take for granted.
This journey hasn’t been mine alone. I’m incredibly grateful for my @orangetheorysb family and community, who have lifted me up, believed in me, and made every sweaty session so meaningful. And a huge thank you to the amazing team at the Lululemon Santa Barbara store for your support and trust.
I’m also so excited to share this experience with my friend and colleague @karlynroberts —who will definitely be pushing me to run more and maybe even attempt a TikTok dance or two 😅
Feeling deeply honored, grateful, and so ready for what’s ahead. Let’s go 💫
With the craziness of the Holidays upon us - work, shopping, wrapping, parties, kids, and germs (haha) this is a friendly reminder to take time out for YOU.
Get a workout in when you can, allow yourself to rest, and fuel your body so you have the recovery needed to push through the coming weeks.
A big thank you to our friends and the team at @rhw_santabarbara for taking great care of us and providing the tools, hydration, and much needed immunity boost to survive and thrive this season. We can’t wait until next time!
Hey friends! Happy almost-Turkey Day!🤗 We’re SO excited to partner with our local SB @lululemon this Black Friday for a special Private Shop event where you’re invited to be the FIRST ones to shop their newest collection and latest markdowns (while they last!)! We’ll be there nice & early before the store opens to the public at 7AM to shop, hang, play games, & spend time with our amazing community❤️
No lines, no stress, just great times ahead! Limited spots available, be sure to RSVP at the link in our bios!
AND, if you’re down for even more fun, we’ll be hosting a Turkey Trot 5K run/walk in partnership with @santabarbararunclub right before the Private Shop🏃🦃 Meet us at 6am at the @lululemon storefront on State Street if you’d like to join!
We’re so grateful for all of you & can’t wait to celebrate together this Black Friday🖤
A letter to my OTF Coaching Team —
We’re not just Orangetheory coaches. We’re life changers. People walk in tired, stressed, doubting themselves — and we help them remember what they’re made of (spoiler alert: pure grit and a little sweat).
We don’t just count reps; we build resilience. What we do goes way beyond these studio walls — it’s in the confidence our members carry, the healthy habits they build, and the mindsets they shift (even if it starts with just surviving burpees, a 2,000-meter row or climbing Everest).
This job isn’t easy. We pour in energy, patience, and a few too many cups of Lighthouse coffee. We celebrate PR’s both big and small, lift people up when they’re down or fall just a little bit short and sometimes absorb their bad days — but we always go ALL OUT for them.
Your passion and dedication are contagious. Your energy changes lives. And even on the days you feel unseen or running on fumes, know this: you matter. What you do matters. You’re making an impact every single class — one squat, one smile, one dumbbell, and one high-five at a time.
Keep showing up. Keep shining. And remember, you are the heart and soul of the OTF Community, you motivate and inspire me to be a better coach and better person - to keep adding the extra .1 both in and out of the studio. Thank you all & Happy National Coach Day!
- Coach Shannon
Imagine this…
Two people find each other.
They laugh, they grow, they fall in love.
They build a life together—maybe quiet, maybe loud—but full of the same dreams as anyone else’s.
And somehow, that is what people think is wrong with the world?
Not the violence. Not the hate. Not the injustice.
But love…
As Pride Month ends, let this be the reminder:
Our love isn’t wrong. Our joy isn’t up for debate.
We will keep showing up, keep loving out loud, and keep imagining a world where love is never the villain... 🥰
