Emily Hovis

Owner & Instructor

Emily took her first barre class in 2010 and instantly fell in love with the technique and the full-body workout. She was drawn to the way this low-impact method builds strength, balance, and endurance, perfectly complementing her love of cardio.

Emily and her husband, Thomas, live in Richmond and have three kids, who are her greatest joy and motivation. Outside the studio, she leads operations at a public affairs firm and has recently discovered a new love for tennis.

Favorite thing about barReVA (besides the workout)? The people and the community. Every client brings their own unique story, and the friendships that form here are what make it such a special place.
