Carrie Barnhart

I am a certified group fitness instructor with a background in gymnastics, kickboxing, cross-fit and dance.  I danced professionally for the Houston Rockets NBA dance team for 5 years (2005-2010) and was the captain and strength leader for 4 years.  I have been featured on many sports and fitness sites including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Fitness Magazine, Oakley/women.com and eHow.com. 

After dancing, I became a certified kickboxing instructor and cardio dance teacher.  I taught for 2 years while creating and growing my co-owned company called Bombshell Bootcamp established in Houston, TX in 2011.  I currently run a bootcamp with my business partner, Cari Shoemate.  Cari is also a Fitness Pro member.  The Bootcamp is an outdoor bootcamp for women of all ages incorporating a variety of fitness styles such as crossfit, tabata, plyometrics and cardio and weight training exercises.  I love to cycle and enjoy attending hot yoga classes.  I am currently an Oakley Women's brand ambassador and have had the opportunity to lead over 200 women bootcamps in California, Colorado, Texas and Pennsylvania.

I love motivating and watching my clients try new things!  As a fitness instructor, I believe in walking the talk and model my lifestyle and workouts just as I preach to my clients. My future goals include growing the bootcamp to multiple locations and franchising along with personally training for a fitness competition!
