[HIGH FIVE] We gave a High Five to Karo Delosreyes, an Instructor at Barry's and JETSET Pilates Union Market in Washington, DC.

Wellcomm: Where do you workout?

Karo Delosreyes: Barry's and JETSET Pilates Union Market are my favorite studios for taking classes, especially Abs and Ass at Barry's right after I teach.

WC: What does wellness mean to you?

KD: Wellness is part of my self-care routine. No matter what mood I am in, I will always make time for a class or a run. I am also in school to be a therapist, so both physical and emotional wellness are priorities in my life.

WC: What are your wellness goals over the next twelve months?

KD: My goals for the next twelve months include finally opening up JETSET and teaching reformer classes and getting my mat Pilates certification. I want to keep growing as an instructor, and DC has really supported me in that.

WC: Who are some people who inspire you, motivate you, or keep you accountable when it comes to your wellness?

KD: Kevin Albert DiMichele and Nazinga Thomas are my biggest inspirations in my fitness journey. They are the most supportive duo: my mom and dad, to be honest. Their classes are also my favorite.

WC: What advice would you share with someone looking to change their wellness routine?

KD: My biggest piece of advice to anyone looking to join the fitness world is that the first class is always going to feel hard. When the classes start to feel like they're getting easier, remember that’s because you’re getting stronger.
