Alecia Petrikis

Alecia Petrikis:
Alecia brings a powerful blend of athleticism and creativity to The Om Lounge. A former Division I gymnast at the University of Pittsburgh (2016–2020), movement has always been a central part of her life; but over time, her relationship with fitness has evolved into something more intentional and empowering. What once was performance-driven has transformed into a passion for movement as a source of balance and energy.
Her journey with The Om Lounge began through a love of dynamic, feel-good workouts that challenge both body and mindset. After previously teaching Bounce from 2021–2022, Alecia is thrilled to bring that energy back and reintroduce the class in a space that values both strength and community. For her, Bounce is more than a workout—it’s an experience that blends rhythm, resilience, and joy. In addition to teaching, Alecia serves as the Social Media Manager for The Om Lounge, where she brings the studio’s energy to life through creative storytelling and community-driven content through her company, Bright Grounds, LLC.
Outside of the studio, she is a law student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, graduating in May 2026, and works professionally as the owner of Bright Grounds, LLC, in social media and marketing. Whether she’s creating content, leading a class, or connecting with others, she is driven by a love for uplifting those around her and creating spaces where people feel confident and at home.”
