App-famous instructors from Peloton, Alo and Nike are stepping off-screen for Sequence, a multi-city wellness tour for collective movement
Despite all of our tech and constant connection, we’re more disconnected than we’d like to admit. More than 18% of American adults now report having or being treated for depression (nearly 48 million people), according to Gallup.
The response, at least in fitness, is getting louder.
This spring, Sequence, a new multi-city wellness and movement experience, is bringing high-profile instructors together in the same physical space for what organizers describe as a communal, large-scale approach to mind-body fitness.
It comes in the form of a tour, which rolls through Los Angeles at the Barker Hangar, Miami’s Mana Wynwood and The Refinery in New York throughout March. Each stop features a different lineup of coaches guiding participants through 60-minute movement sessions, ranging from yoga to strength.
Founder Scott Miles says the idea was born from a growing hunger for real-world connection.
“People are fundamentally craving emotional connection and shared experiences,” Miles tells Athletech News. “Digital platforms can’t deliver the energy of hundreds of humans breathing and moving together in the same physical space.”
Miles points to data showing 59% of people find it harder to form relationships today, while 56% feel more isolated than ever. Sequence, he argues, is designed to counter that, with immersive environments built to amplify collective energy.
“When you’re in a large space with hundreds of other people, all moving in unison, the experience is bigger than yourself,” he says.
Sequence sessions are ticketed individually, allowing attendees to choose specific instructors rather than committing to an all-access weekend pass. Each class runs 60 minutes, with organizers encouraging guests to arrive early for check-in, lockers and time to settle into the space. Multi-session passes are also available.
Sequence’s main room, dubbed the “Temple Room,” is built to hold hundreds of mats, with instructors teaching from the center rather than the front. Lighting and multimedia move with the rhythm of the class, with music curated to mirror the vibe of the session.
Afterwards, attendees are invited into an “Afterglow Lounge,” a social space featuring refreshments and gifts from partner brands.
The tour kicks off March 5 in Los Angeles, where Alo instructor Josh Kramer, Nike trainer Jonah Kest and Riva G will lead vinyasa and mindful movement sessions. They’ll also be joined by Sweat Yoga’s Layna Dakin and The Class’ Jaycee Gossett.
Peloton instructors Katie Wang and Rad Lopez will also bring their high-energy strength sessions to the floor, adding a cardio-and-weights edge.
“Their audiences have evolved from being followers to becoming a true community,” Sequence head of talent Anne M. Owen says. “They’re really excited to help establish a marquee event that brings together their overlapping communities in one space.”
Owen likens Sequence’s ambitions to the scale of major athletic competitions.
“What Hyrox has done for fitness athletes, Sequence is creating for mind-body communities,” she says. “There’s no large-scale touring gathering like this for mindful movement, despite the millions who practice in the U.S. and worldwide.”
She calls this year’s lineup the “founding voices” of what could become a recurring, multi-city gathering, which Miles says is the long-term vision.
“That certainly is our dream for Sequence,” he says. “We hope people are witnessing the dawn of Sequence in Season ’26, and that it continues to evolve year over year with fresh instructor lineups, new environments, and additional cities and venues.”
From a wider lens, Sequence’s IRL, instructor-led approach lands as gymgoers push back on AI-led fitness. Les Mills’ 2026 Global Fitness Report found that just 10% of consumers globally prefer AI coaching, while more than half lean human-first, citing the connection and energy technology still can’t replicate.
