Company Overview At Amara , we're on a mission to help people live healthier, happier, and more connected lives. We offer health and wellness classes—starting with expert-led group fitness—and are expanding into areas like nutrition, mental well-being, and preventive care . Our programs are delivered directly in large residential communities (200+ units) , making wellness more accessible by eliminating transportation and scheduling barriers. We also work closely with building partners and insurance providers to keep classes as low-cost as possible for participants —including the option to use FSA/HSA funds and insurance reimbursement —so residents can focus on their health, not the paperwork. Amara also includes a companion app that enhances the in-person experience with personalized wellness tips, exercises, and progress tracking. This supports participants in achieving both their personal goals and class-specific outcomes . Currently, we offer three signature fitness formats: A full-body cardio class A functional strength and stability class A stretching and balance class with yoga-inspired elements We're excited to expand on this foundation as we grow. We're launching new locations in Chicago and looking for exceptional instructors to lead the way.
