Sandy Aronson
Sandy Aronson boy mom to three: (7, 5, and 1), educator, health enthusiast, and fitness instructor. I am originally from North Carolina, and moved to the Midwest after college. I cheered competitively my whole life, and always wanted to teach aerobics. When I moved to MN in 2012, I started teaching at the Ridgedale YMCA-Bootcamp and Tabata. After having my first son in 2014, I moved to Eagan and started teaching at the Eagan YMCA. I taught Core, BodyFlow, Oula, OulaOne, OulaPower, and water fitness. During the day I am an instructional coach for District 196; helping teachers incorporate technology. I have been teaching OULA outdoors since the pandemic began. I’m excited to find a new fitness home, and bring my passion and love for fitness and dance, to The Warehouse.
Lori Rogers
Lori Rogers I’ve been teaching OULA Fitness formats for 5 years. I teach our OULA Dance format and our OULA Power strength and conditioning classes. OULA IS A HIGH-ENERGY, EASY TO LEARN, CALORIE BURNING, CRAZY-FUN DANCE WORKOUT TO TOP 40 HITS. CLASSES ARE ONE EPIC HOUR OF SWEAT, JOY, AND TOTAL INSPIRATION! OULA IS DANCEMANIA FOR THE SOUL. Every person, every human wants & has a deep desire to feel & be connected. It is in connection we are seen, heard, felt, loved. The place of connection is where trust is built and freedom is allowed. It is here in the individual that creativity, confidence & growth expand. OULA is connection, with self & others. OULA is community. Because our focus is on “how you feel” rather than “how you look,” our participants experience the freedom of a non-judgement (of self and of others) environment and community, rather than competition. Our approach to fitness is incredibly refreshing and healthy in the traditionally image-obsessed industry. Our participants experience transformation from the inside out, and embrace our philosophy that when you feel good, you look amazing. Lori is also our Warehouse Studio Manager.

Lauren lives in Rosemount with her husband Mason and their two dogs Surly and Kona. When she’s not being a Realtor, she enjoys spending time at her cabin, playing hockey, golf or anything outside.

She became OULA certified in the spring of 2022 and then became Power certified as that was her favorite. Power has high cardio tracks that lead into body weight strength exercises. The music is carefully selected to inspire you to POWER through and be bigger, better, faster, stronger!
Kalli Bennett
Kalli Bennett I have a legal job and by night I’m ready to dance the stress away! For many years I used to hit the roads to run or cycle, and I also focused on weight training. However in 2017 I wanted to find another way to exercise that would bring more joy and fun to my workouts. Having no idea what to expect, I tried an Oula class and soon became hooked. I’m more introverted by nature, but that seems to change when the music starts! Oula has taught me to not take myself so seriously and be more confident - awkward dance moves and all! I started teaching Oula in June 2018; and I’m so excited to be teaching at The Warehouse and sharing my love of Oula!
