Rupa Mehta began her entrepreneurial business venture at the age of 23 with the vision of creating an environment that emanated the feeling she had around her mom– a feeling of being accepted, encouraged, nurtured and challenged. After graduating from NYU’s Stern School of Business and studying Pilates, Yoga and Lotte Berk, Rupa’s signature fitness class was born. With her vision in mind, Rupa developed a fun and challenging class that fuses the results and attention of a personal trainer session with the dynamic energy of a group atmosphere.

In 2010, Rupa wrote her first book Connect to Your One. After years of training New Yorkers, many with an obsession about their physical weight, she felt compelled to address the discrepancy between physical and emotional weight. “How can so many people be physically light and fit, but emotionally heavy and weighed down?” she asked herself. In Connect to Your One, Rupa introduces the simple concept of ‘losing the weight of words’ and connecting to the ONE WORD that inspires and drives your life.

With a deep desire to share her vision with the world, Rupa has partnered with Mayor Bloomberg and NYC Service to spread health and wellness with children in inner city schools. Rupa and her team now teach fitness classes and ONE WORD Workshops in two Brooklyn schools during school hours as a part of their curriculum. Rupa’s dream is to continue to grow her team and platform while launching a tween/teen wellness program nationally.
