Episode 53: Finding Passion, Purpose, and Community with Rebecca Sarnicola of Full Circle Pilates

In this episode of The Sober By Design, host Corey Hennings sits down with Rebecca Sarnicola (@fullcirclepilatesnj), owner of Full Circle Pilates in Sparta, NJ, for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and building community through movement.

Rebecca shares her story of immigrating to the United States just at the age of 13 and entering 8th Grade, and how physical fitness quickly became both an outlet and a pathway to belonging. From early exposure to a wide range of fitness modalities, to her years in Boston navigating the world of marketing, Rebecca’s winding journey ultimately led her to discover her true passion: Pilates.

Together, we explore how her personal history, family values, and belief in community have shaped both her life and her business. Rebecca’s dedication to helping others feel grounded, strong, and supported is unmistakable, and in this episode she offers a glimpse into where she hopes to take the Full Circle community in the years ahead.

Authentic, warm, and deeply inspiring, Rebecca reminds us of what can happen when we follow what feels right and give ourselves permission to build the life—and community—we imagine.
