“I know how amazing it feels to dance in front of an audience, and I wanted to give that opportunity to other women,” Venetia James told Sac Mag in a June 2020 article. “The brand itself is about every woman, every shape, every size and ability. We’re about diversity and building each other up.”
Since its inception, James has encouraged and inspired hundreds to join the fitness group and even though the organization promotes health and wellness, it’s the internal impact that makes Hundreds Unit so special and important for the community.

“That is the whole point, to inspire and celebrate women to the point of changing lives,” James said in the article. “If you feel good about yourself, you’re going to be a better mother, wife and friend. Not only are you stepping outside of your comfort zone; you are also going after a dream that never was realized because of how you felt about yourself or maybe you didn’t have the training or the look. It’s less intimidating because you know you are part of a community.”
