“I’m thrilled to be included in this inaugural event. Wellness is such an important part of the Hamptons experience, so it’s wonderful to bring together some of the best fitness brands in the area that help make Hamptonites stronger and happy. Empowered movement is about gaining confidence, power, and strength from physical fitness and movement. A stronger body plus a stronger mind equals a better life,” said Amanda Freeman.

“Paddle Diva strongly encourages everyone to take a little time every day to move their bodies, to feel more connected within themselves, no matter where they are. Movement, strength, confidence, and positivity, are all connected and Paddle Diva has been a brand that guarantees as you step off the board and back on to land you feel stronger, mentally refreshed, and more confident, all through this empowered movement. Often individuals get too caught up in the weight-loss aspects of fitness. What we strive to instill in our students is that if you do what you love, fitness will follow. We are thrilled to be part of this event,” said Gina Bradley.

“The most important measurement is the way you feel and what better way to radiate that than joining together through movement” said Courtnay Mariani. “I’m beyond honored to lead this event and I can promise after our workout, you will absolutely feel empowered to unleash all that’s inside. The goal of empowerment through this workout is to build confidence and bring joy, to have fun and let go, to feel the absolute best you can, to keep moving, and take that on each and every day. Passion, persistence, perseverance… all things that will lead you to accomplish your goals and face the obstacles ahead.”
Empowered Movement will set itself apart from other Hamptons health and wellness events by focusing on strength as both a mental concept and a physical attribute. Each panelist was carefully selected as they will discuss how their brand’s implementation of movements empowers the mind-body connection in everyday life. DanceBody’s low-impact dance cardio class Hip Hop Hits will be sure to have guests leave feeling their most confident and energized selves.
