What inspired you to become a fitness instructor?
I’ve always had a passion for teaching and helping others. With my professional background in dance, I found that fitness and wellness were the perfect avenues for me. Plus, I needed an escape from my corporate day job, and teaching became my joyful retreat!
What’s your favorite part of teaching at Barre Groove?
My favorite part of teaching at Barre Groove is getting to do what I love every single day! It’s an honor to share my passion for movement with everyone who walks through our doors. Helping people feel happier and more confident through movement is the highlight of my day!
How would you describe your classes in three words?
Efficient. Effective. Energizing.
What’s your favorite workout move on the trampoline?
I absolutely love teaching the “booty” moves on the trampoline with a ball! There are so many fun and effective ways to elevate your movement with the trampoline. It’s not just about bouncing; there are countless reasons to love tramp life and all the amazing benefits it brings!
What kind of vibe can we expect in your playlist?
I believe that music can truly make or break a class, so I take my playlists seriously. All my playlists SLAP! We spend hours every week curating high-energy beats that keep you moving and grooving!
What’s your favorite way to unwind after a class?
My favorite way to unwind is by spending quality time with my family at home.
What’s your “can’t miss” piece of advice for someone new to Barre Groove?
YOU CAN DO THIS! I know bouncing may look intimidating, but I promise you are more capable than you think. Once you find your groove, you’ll never want to do any other form of cardio again!
What’s one fun fact about you that might surprise people?
Before opening Barre Groove, I taught “barre at the bar” events, where I led barre classes right on the bar while serving drinks afterward with a live DJ. It was a blast!
If you could describe how Barre Groove makes you feel in one word, what would it be?
Incredible.
What’s your go-to hype song when you need a boost?
Whatever the first song is on my “favorites” list—it’s always a winner!
