In November of 2024, Lynsey and Lauren Ems took the leap to create the first heated studio in Northeast Philadelphia. Since then, The Den has not only served a purpose by bringing an experience in each class, but it is now a space where people rebuild themselves physically and mentally. A space where strangers turn into family.

 

Outside of the studio, Lynsey is a full-time registered nurse. Throughout her Accelerated Nursing Program, Lynsey was able to connect her medical knowledge of anatomy to her passion for pilates. This allowed her to implement her knowledge of the human body to the alignment and principles of pilates, sharing that passion with others as a studio co-owner.

​

Lauren discovered her passion for community and group fitness in 2023 when starting as a student at Core Power Yoga. While finishing up her senior year at Temple University, she completed her certifications and began her journey as a fitness instructor. Since the studio has opened, Lauren manages full-time in-studio operations, keeping our second home running smoothly!

 

We are so grateful for each and every person that steps through our doors. Being able to bring such a strong sense of community to Northeast Philadelphia is something we will never take for granted!
