I have loved taking group fitness classes since I was 16 years old.  My first love was step aerobics and high-low cardio formats. 

Several years after graduating from university and into my career as an elementary teacher, I decided to take pole dancing classes since I was bored with the same old cardio classes that I had been taking for 10 years. As soon as I started pole dancing, I was hooked.  I quickly incerased my skill level and strength and became an Aradia certified pole dancing instructor.  

The next logical step came my way approximtely 4 years ago.  I was given the opportunity to become a  BCRPA certified group fitness instructor.  I completed my certification with a practicum teachinig high-low cardio classes in January of 2009.  SInce getting certified I have taught high-low classes, indoor cycling, bootcamps and became a R.I.P.PE.D. instructor in April 2011.  I have taken workshops on kettlebell, TRX, indoor cycling, advanced step aerobics, core/abs,  etc.  I have made an attempt to remain current and in healthy form in order to be a good role model for my participants. 

In the recent year I have focused mostly on R.I.P.P.E.D. and teaching indoor cycling.  Currently I am teaching R.I.P.P.E.D. classes 3 times a week in a private location.
