OUR STORY
MADDIE AND CARL GEERTZ
Maddie and Carl Geertz have had a passion for wellness since they can remember. Maddie, a pediatric and prenatal focused chiropractor, found her love for fitness and health when she was a sophomore in college. Getting a degree in Health and Exercise Science drove her passion to bring a healthy lifestyle to her own life. Graduating college in 2020, brought her home to her parent’s house where her passion for fitness skyrocketed and health was a top priority. Fast forward to Chiropractic school, Maddie worked at CycleBar where her love for wellness became even stronger because of the community that came with it. Ever since, Maddie has wanted to be surrounded by likeminded people who have a passion for health and wellness. Being a Chiropractor and helping others with preventative care has been such an inspiration.
Carl, born and raise in Wyoming, came to Texas because of the fitness community. As a personal trainer for over 10 years as well as managing gyms, his love for health and wellness came from playing baseball. A college baseball player, who wanted to stay healthy after his time in baseball was over. His passion to help people create the best versions of themselves through diet and exercise became stronger when he met Maddie in 2022. Together they have pushed each other to build a community around preventative care with Chiropractic and health and wellness with fitness.
Together, these two have always wanted to build a community of their own, surrounded by wellness and what better way to do that, than smoothies!
THE STORY OF THE SAND BAR
The Sand Bar started on the beaches of Florida. Surrounded by community and wellness, where biking is the only way to get around. Morning walks along the beach followed by a smoothie bowl each morning, grew our love for acai and smoothie bowls. Leaving Florida each year meant no smoothie bowls in Texas and having to wait an entire year to go back. Brining the beaches of Florida to Texas were extremely important to us, and then The Sand Bar was born.
As a chiropractor and personal trainer duo, we’ve always believed in wellness — but The Sand Bar goes deeper. It’s about sharing that laid-back, vibrant, nourishing lifestyle we fell in love with. It’s about fueling the community with real ingredients, coastal flavor, and a spoonful of escape.
