Meet our Instructors

 I enjoy my role as a fitness professional (as a hobby),and have been certified under the American Aerobic Association International (AAAI) and International Sports Medicine Association (ISMA) since 2000.  I began teaching freestyle aerobics and Step classes, however, transitioned to the Les Mills branded programs in 2003.  Although previously certified in Body Step and CX Worx, I am committed to, and enjoy motivating group participants in the Les Mills Body Pump program.  I enjoy theme-based classes, costumes, and LOTS of class engagement.

 I love being a part of the fitness family here at The Gym! I have been teaching Cardio Kickboxing for the past 20+ years, and Les Mills Body Combat since 2007.  I also hold a Black Belt in Taijutsu.  Body Combat is my passion, and I get so much satisfaction from sharing my love of MMA and music with others.  For me, it’s not just a class, it’s a way to embrace your inner warrior, to develop self-confidence, and to achieve physically and mentally.

 I love being a part of the group fitness team here at The Gym. I have been teaching Les Mills Body Combat for 10 years and  have also taught many different freestyle classes throughout the years. One of the many reasons I fell in love with Body Combat is the music. Music is a huge part of my life and Body Combat uses their music to drive the energy so you get a fantastic workout, but you also love the class. I am very focused on form to protect the body, but I want classes to feel like a party not a job. 

I became a Body Combat instructor in 2021 to demonstrate a person's body doesn't have to look a certain way to be fit, to empower others to achieve their goals, and to help participants understand how strong and capable they truly are.

I love that I receive as much from participants as they do from me.  The powerful punching and kicking combos build our confidence to tackle everyday life and to become a better version or ourselves.  It helps us realize we can overcome anything life throws our way!
