Robin Beachner CEO As a former representative of several active and dance lines, I recognized a new niche in the fashion industry. Women were looking for sexier designs to show off their "Yoga/Pilates Bodies." Gone were the days of sweatpants and old t-shirts. We felt so good in our exercise clothes that we wanted to hit the streets right after class and show off our hard work. When I started Sense, I kept in mind how important it is to have clothing that crosses over from the studio to dinner. Slip on a skirt and heels with any one of our tops and you're ready for anything evening has to offer. I carefully consider what we need to take with us on our business and personal trips which makes Sense ideal for travel. If you love to layer like I do, you can find so many exciting combinations. Through the years, I've listened to the most important people: our customers. I continue to learn what women are asking for from our many great boutique owners, spa directors and studio teachers, as well as directly from the women who purchase Sense in our warehouse showroom. Obviously there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not wearing at least one piece of Sense. I find that Sense is suitable for any recreation. My favorite activities include hiking with my dog Rumi, biking around the city, snowboarding, playing guitar, hoop dancing and just recently I started figure skating. I love to learn anything new and challenging. Most of all I enjoy my career and going to work every day with three beautiful women who I respect and admire. Together, we make a great team!
