I love my job and I love my community,” Love says.She adds, “We work really hard to bring a level of humanity that we think is fair and honest to every class. It allows me and pushes me to dig deeper into who I am and what I believe and to make sure I’ve created deep self-awareness in the spaces where I show up, that I’m making space for other people.“Tom Dymond/NetflixLove’s frequent return to New York City while filmingDANCE100was not just for her Peloton classes, but also for her hosting job with theBrooklyn Nets.“I run the show, honey,” Love jokes. “I want to make sure that the energy in the building is something that is inviting, that it is one of a kind and that it is definitely Brooklyn excellence. Also, my husbandAndrew Haynesis a Brooklyn Nets fan as well, which helps.““We met at a club in New York City, and coincidentally, it was his dance moves that sold me,” Love says about meeting Haynes. The Peloton instructor continues, “He definitely champions me… He gives me honest feedback. He takes my classes. He shows up. He helps remind me to celebrate my small wins. So he is quite special.“While Love wears many hats, she says there is a “method to the madness” when choosing her endeavors. “Everything I do, whether it’s Nets, Peloton,Love SquadorDANCE100, it’s centered around conversation,” Love tells PEOPLE. She adds, “Conversation is the catalyst for change and cultivating community. It’s camera work, it’s conversation, and it’s community and all three of those things literally make my world go round.“NetflixDANCE100airs on March 17th, and now that the show has wrapped, Love is spending some time enjoying everything she’s achieved.“I’ve been working really hard and I’m trying to celebrate these wins,” Love explains. “I am the host of a show that’s on Netflix. This does not happen to many people, even when they work really hard. I’m just in this space where no matter if nothing comes next, I get to be proud of who I am. And that’s what I’m working on right now.”
