Get to know Ariele Foster, doctor of physical therapy, physical therapy practice owner, and a yoga teacher at MINT! You can catch Ariele’s yoga classes at MINT DuPont.
Ariele describes her yoga classes as “Goldilocks” pace, not too fast and not too slow. She uses her knowledge as a doctor of physical therapy and years of experience working with those who have musculoskeletal issues to create her classes.
Yoga has been a life-long practice for Ariele. Her grandmother was a yoga teacher, so Ariele has been practicing yoga since elementary school.
Outside of teaching yoga at MINT, you can find Ariele on a stroll through the National Zoo, dancing at the drum circle at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park or enjoying a meal at Shouk or Cava. This year, Ariele has recently started strength training and taking classes with Colleen and Myke at MINT.
Ariele has her own physical therapy practice. She’s also the founder of YogaAnatomyAcademy.com, offers online courses and has an archive of free classes on her YouTube channel.
Ariele teaches Hatha Yoga | Alight + Flow (1) every Thursday at 7:15pm at our MINT Dupont location. Sign up for a class today!
Get to know Enrique Flores, MINT Box and kickboxing instructor this month! You can catch Enrique’s classes at MINT DuPont and MINT 14th St.
Whether he’s leading a boxing or kickboxing a class or working with clients one-on-one as a personal boxing coach, Enrique’s workouts are sure to keep you moving! His unique teaching style makes for extremely engaging workouts.
Never taken one of his classes before? They typically consist of a partner warmup, learning the boxing basics, four rounds off mitts with a partner, a full-body circuit, a core circuit, and then finishes things off with outdoor sprints or bag rounds. He loves the full-body circuit portion of his class because it introduces people to new exercises they may not have done before and helps ensure you get a full-body workout.
Enrique describes himself as chill, sarcastic and super competitive. Though he’s technically a fighter he’s actually very friendly and easy to talk to.
Right now, Enrique is working on his own athletic goals. He’s working towards competing at the 2020 U.S. Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Championship, and hopefully for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team.
When he’s not teaching or training, Enrique is at home cooking, at a wine tasting, eating Korean BBQ, or spending time with his nephews and dog.

Our December member of the month is longtime member Sarah Davidson. Since joining she has cultivated long-lasting friendships with members, instructors, trainers and even staff while getting fitter. By taking classes and working with a personal trainer, Sam Donin, she has been able to achieve her fitness goal which was to get stronger and become a more confident and knowledgable lifter. Since working one-on-one with Sam she can successfully lift more weight than she ever could on her own.
When she’s not working out with Sam you can typically find her taking FLEX Strength Training with Colleen, MINTRow at 14th St with Braegan or Hatha Yoga with Ariele.
Next time you see Sarah in the gym be sure to give her a big wave and say hello!
