THE TEAM BEHIND THE SCENES
ANNMARIE GROHS
OWNER | HEALTH COACH | FITNESS INSTRUCTOR | FUN HAVER
Only big cities had boutique fitness studios eleven years ago—but not Richmond. So AnnMarie created BOHO.
AnnMarie ran her first 10k in college and came in dead last behind a team of 8 people carrying a Santa sleigh. Ever since then, she has challenged herself to do better, do more—and always strive for one goal: wellness. Oh, and to never again be bested by a gaggle of people carrying a large prop.
AnnMarie’s journey to wellness and fitness has taken her to many places—from her home state of Nebraska to Chicago, where she learned to appreciate the outdoors when she could, and then to D.C., where she discovered the limits of, and ways to challenge, her body. Finally, she landed in Richmond, where she fell in love with its running community and strength training.
It all ultimately drove her to open BOHO Studios, a group of fitness studios nestled in a few of RVA’s most amazing neighborhoods: Museum District, Brookland Park, and Forest Hill. BOHO Studios focuses on indoor cycling, strength training, personal training, and recovery. Today, AnnMarie continues to explore her commitment to wellness. "The most important thing is fun,” she says. “You’ve got to have fun—and know what does your body good: whether that’s a run, a salad, yoga, taking a nap, or reading a book.”
HANNAH CAMPBELL
OPERATIONS MANAGER
Hannah's passion for movement began with dance and then moved her way to crew team. When health issues arrived later in life, she realized the benefit of fitness to help overcome them. She is truly in awe of the human body and all its capabilities and enjoys challenging herself with movement.
Hannah moved to Richmond from NOVA and instantly fell in love with the culture of the city. She spends her time outside of the studio exploring Richmond's art and food scene and exploring her Forest Hill neighborhood, and the James River. And... she was born in Spain, has dual citizenship, is bilingual, and one day will take us all on a trip to Spain!
KAYLA DECKER
STUDIO MANAGER
Fitness wasn’t something Kayla grew up doing—it found her. She started as a dancer, never quite fitting into traditional sports, but everything changed when she stepped into a gym for the first time; she found her place. From then on, she dedicated herself to training, learning, and immersing herself in the fitness world.
Bodybuilding became her next challenge. In 2023, she won my first NPC Figure competition. She placed top five at the NPC North American Championships the following year.
Beyond the stage, she manages BOHO's amazing group studios, coaches men and women, and helps others build strength—both physically and mentally. Her goal is to help others find their power, just like she found hers.
When Kayla is not in the gym, she’s watching the Jurassic series, hanging with her cat, Brisket, or exploring RVA’s sushi scene.
LINNEA GERWIG
PROJECT MANAGER
Linnea rolled into Richmond, VA in 2014 and stumbled upon BOHO Studios in a twist we can only thank fate for. It’s as though Linnea & BOHO Studios knew they were meant to be. She is our go-to when we need an extra head in the fitness game to develop our next big idea, the first person we call when that big thing comes up and we need a set of eyes, ideas, or hands to bring it to fruition.
When Linnea’s not brainstorming with the team you can find her strolling the streets of Church Hill with her fam, crushing it at CrossFit, or taste-testing for the world’s best tortilla chip.
CAROLINE SIMMONS
DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY
The woman behind the camera at BOHO Studios, Caroline waltzed into BOHO Cycle Studio in Richmond, VA, back in 2015 looking for some part-time fun. Little did she know it would turn into full-time, beyond fun, and a whole lot of pictures. She is a professional photographer and we are often amazed watching her work.
When she’s not capturing the smiles of Team BOHO or making the BOHO Studios brand come to life, she’s snapping photos of models all over the USA. She’s devoted to her craft, but once her work is done, you can be sure she’s snuggled up with her adorable sighthounds.
