Soar Bungee Fitness was born from a love of movement, freedom, and community. We believe fitness should be joyful, empowering, and accessible to everyone. Our studio blends the thrill of bungee workouts with the grounding of yoga, the energy of cycling, and the strength of barre and Pilates — giving you a space to fly, sweat, and discover what your body is capable of.
We’re not just a fitness studio — we’re a family. Our classes are designed to make you feel supported, strong, and unstoppable. Together, we lift each other up (literally and figuratively) so everyone leaves feeling a little lighter than when they walked in.

Meli Kirkwood
Lead Strength Instructor
Latina with a worldwide heart who grew up on Jane Fonda tapes, red blood cell books, and the dream of choreography. My path wound through graphic design, media, and global stages as a choreographer for one of the world’s biggest fitness brands before I discovered my true calling: helping people fuel their nervous systems, build resilience, and lift each other up. Today, I sip matcha like it’s a ritual, move to the rhythm of life, and bring a mad-scientist curiosity to strength, wellness, and connection.
Life taught me that dreams aren’t just made of hustle—they’re built from alignment, kindness, and dancing your soul.
Adriana Bozza
Strength | Yoga | Cycle
Adriana has called Savannah home for seven years and loves nothing more than building community through movement. A new mom, dog mom, and hospitality pro, she finds joy in lifting heavy, planning local events, and connecting people. Fun fact: she went to culinary school! When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her snuggled up with her newborn, boyfriend, and two pups or on a walk at Daffin park!
Malorie Flynn
Hot Hatha 26:2 | Yoga
I’m here for the sweat, the stillness, and everything in between. I teach yoga flows and hot hatha 26 & 2.
My teaching is all about understanding what’s happening in the body, moving honestly (maybe a little wobbly), and making space to just be human. A little awkward, a lot authentic. Maybe some giggles. Maybe some snores — my yin yogis get it.
When I’m not cueing breath or dancing through flow, I’m probably binging Gilmore Girls, listening to Mel Robbins on repeat, beer-tending, or deep in another round of dog training classes.
Lawanda Diggs
Strength | Cycle | Group Fitness Enthusiast
Attitude: Make it fun!
Mission: Helping others feel good about themselves through fitness
Focus: To guide your personalized fitness journey
I love exercising, I love teaching, and I love my students. I love the fun we have while improving our health. I love
that we all push our limits to go far beyond our capacities. This is what group fitness has taught me through the
years. I am so excited to pass this love of fitness on to others. Take a class with me!
Christine Lorenzo
Cycle | Strength
Christine’s motto: “Support your local everything!” And she lives it! Gleefully juggling business ventures, entrepreneurship, spin, and attending and/or throwing local events. Basically, she loves building community wherever she goes!
Her classes are all about sweat, tunes, and showing up unapologetically. No perfection here. Just good beats, hard pushes, and definitely a shimmy mid-sprint. You in?
Nikki Warner
Yoga Sculpt | Yoga | Strength
Nikki Warner obtained her first group fitness certification in 2022, quickly discovering her passion for helping others grow stronger—both physically and mentally. She started by teaching full-body strength and HIIT classes, then expanded her expertise with a cycle certification in 2023 and completed her 200 hour yoga training in 2024.
Nikki believes deeply in the power of the mind–body connection and how intentional movement can support not only physical health, but also emotional balance and mental well-being. She loves watching people gain confidence and strength as they take ownership of their wellness journey.
Originally from Illinois, Nikki has called Savannah home since 2015. When she’s not in the gym, you can find her working her 9–5 at a behavioral health nonprofit, writing poetry, or dancing salsa.

Bungee Fitness | Power Yoga
How would others describe me: crazy rainbow energy ✨🌈
I am made of: magic + giggles + childlike energy
Fitness Loves: Running with my dog Happy, Squats (love squats), Lifting Weights, Tennis, and Yoga
Favorite Song: Everything from Cardi B to Sierra Ferrell
The Perfect Day: Coffee on the porch with Happy, a run in perfect weather when it feels like you are flying, finding an awesome colorful vintage outfit, seeing friends and going on a adventure (anything on the water or giggling so hard we can’t catch our breath)
What do I Collect: Vintage Hats (I can’t stop myself when I see a good one) and Colorful Sneakers
Best Meal I have ever eaten: In Japan, going on a hike in the middle of nowhere, no one spoke English but we all understood tofu. It was a bento plate of like seven different types of tofu from peanut butter to mushroom and it blew my mind, literally on the side of a mountain, and I would go back there in a heart beat.
Fun Fact: I have traveled to 47 states just need to get Wyoming, Hawaii, and Alaska. I am a big road tripper.
Superhero: I would be Domino, I have crazy random good luck. I was named Jade because it means good luck.

75 MIN SLOW FLOW
I will be guiding Slow Flow classes grounded in the discipline and ritual of Ashtanga Yoga - where the power of breath and movement meet! My classes are about connection; linking each inhale and exhale with every bend, stretch and transition. Outside of the studio you'll find me in the gym, garden, or hanging out with my dog (who's just as obsessed with movement as I am!) Let's heat up and slow down.
