Why did you become an instructor at Barre Groove?

I’ve always had a passion for fitness and have been taking Barre Groove classes since Alanna first opened the studio. I’ve thought about becoming an instructor for a few years now and finally ripped off the Band-Aid. There truly is no workout like a Barre Groove workout and I absolutely love the feeling of being able to motivate an entire room of people working toward a common goal. 

What is your background in fitness and/or dance?

I grew up dancing and have always had a passion for fitness! 

What motivates you as an instructor?

The BG squad is my biggest motivation! Clients have the ability to keep the energy in the room high and a willingness to finish stronger than they start every single time. I absolutely love when clients step onto that tramp and they give 120% every single time. Being able to help a single person toward their fitness goals motivates me in being the best instructor I can be. 

What type of music will we hear in your classes?

Honestly, it depends on the day but it’s guaranteed to be upbeat and motivating. I am a sucker for a throwback because what better way to bring people together than working out and everyone knowing every single word to the song playing. 

Describe yourself as a fitness instructor in ONE word…

Energetic

When I’m not teaching at the studio I’m…

Working as a social media director for an agency in Boston, scrolling through photos of dogs, or frolicking around the North End with my family or friends.
