15. Welcome to the Danger Zone!

Grab your energy drinks and cozy up, because in this week’s episode of Touching BACE, best friends and co-founders Cara Chambrello and Carli Haney are taking a massive trip down memory lane as they celebrate one full year of BACE: The Fitness Tailgate! It’s been 365 days of parking lot sweat sessions, custom 26-foot box truck magic, and building a one-of-a-kind fitness community right in the heart of Sherman Oaks. In this highly anticipated reflection episode, the duo gets incredibly honest about what it really takes to run a mobile boutique fitness start-up. From the early-morning setup struggles and the literal heavy lifting of the turf, to the breathtaking community wins and the "happy mistakes" that shaped who they are today, Cara and Carli lay it all out. Whether you’ve been riding inside the truck or sculpting on the turf under the tent since day one, or you're just starting your own entrepreneurial hustle, this episode is packed with the perfect mix of business grit, sisterly banter, and pure gratitude for the community that keeps BACE moving.

Listen in as Cara and Carli dive into what truly sets their studio apart: a deep commitment to building genuine community both inside and outside their truck walls. In this episode, they share how BACE: The Fitness Tailgate goes beyond workouts by hosting awareness events, creating spaces for connection, and bringing people together around shared causes. From themed classes to outreach initiatives, they highlight how fostering belonging and purpose not only strengthens their members’ fitness journeys but also creates lasting impact far beyond the gym.

They discuss how diversity goes far beyond appearances: it’s about bringing together people with different stories, perspectives, and strengths to create an environment where everyone feels seen and valued. Through their candid conversation, they share how inclusivity fuels creativity, connection, and community, both within the team and among the athletes who show up every day.

Of course, in true Cara and Carli fashion, the conversation takes plenty of hilarious detours as they once again prove they’re completely incapable of keeping things serious for long. It’s an episode full of gratitude, laughter, and a reminder of why the BACE community is unlike any other.
