Hot List: Amanda Kloots, Creator of The Rope Class

*Introducing the first ever Sakara Hot List! We're bringing you exclusive content from a carefully curated group of influencers who, frankly, just get us HOT.

We searched high and low for the hottest artists, creators, entrepreneurs, fitness-pros, and all-around influential tastemakers who motivate and inspire us with the unique and daring ways they are turning their #thoughtstothings.

Within just a few minutes spent with Amanda Kloots, her contagious and positive energy shines brighter than anything else around. A former Radio City Rockette turned Broadway performer, and then head trainer of Body by Simone, Amanda has since developed her own unique jump rope meets dance cardio workout called The Rope (Arielle of Something Navy and Hannah Bronfman of HBFIT are fans). When she’s not getting us New Yorkers to jump, dance and tone, she’s charming us with her infectious smile, and balancing out her love of desserts with her daily Sakara meals. #SakaraHotList
