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 &#34;happy mistakes&#34; 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&#39;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.
