‘Love Is Blind’ star Raven Ross exclusively tells OK! about growing her Pilates business in 2025.
Two years after Season 3 of Love Is Blind premiered, Raven Ross, who didn’t end up finding love on the show, is in a great place in her life — and doing what she loves!
“Transformative is a great word to describe 2024. I think this year we’ve had so many breakthroughs,” the Netflix star exclusively tells OK! about uprooting her life to the East Coast and going all in on her Pilates journey by teaching in the Big Apple. “We started with all of our in-person classes here in the city. We’ve done them every single month, and it’s crazy to see the same people show up and be consistent. It can feel really overwhelming to build a community here, especially as a new person, so it’s cool to see people show up time and time again. I’m like, ‘You actually like me?'”
“I also launched my virtual platform, so now I work out with people multiple times a week on the phone, and it’s been amazing,” the Pilates Body by Raven Ross founder adds.
Raven Ross appeared on Season 3 of ‘Love Is Blind.’
Leaving Texas wasn’t an easy decision for Ross to make, but she’s happy she took a chance by doing something different. “I had been there for 10 years, and I’m just so Aries, I was like, ‘I’m fine, I’m over it, I’m done, we’re moving.’ I got here, and I was like, ‘This is a big change, so it definitely took me a few months to get myself out there and feel comfortable and get into a routine,” the certified Pilates trainer admits. “Now I feel so good. I feel like everyone’s New York transition story is different, but it’s been so great. It is the most rewarding thing to think that you could build a community here in a few months — what the actual h—?! I wouldn’t call myself a New Yorker, but you feel like it’s a possibility.”
Raven Ross is growing Pilates business even more in 2025.
Though the move was daunting for Ross, she didn’t quite have an alternative route in mind. “That’s the thing about being an Aries — there was no plan B. I was like, ‘We’re going hard and we’re doing it.’ You can’t tell yourself you’re going back or else that might not happen. It was a huge change, and I committed to it.”
Two years after appearing on the reality dating show, Ross finally feels like she has her “head on straight.”
“I’ve had such a year of growth. 2024 was a transformation for me,” Ross, who has a boyfriend, says. “My dad passed away this year, and it just really changes your perspective on the world. If I’m not committed to the bit now, no one is making up that time for me. You don’t know if you’re going to have it again, so just capitalizing on it. I lead my life that way now, and it has really served me since I moved here.”
