I have been teaching group fitness for 3 years. I first certified in High Fitness which is a choreographed aerobics based class with bodyweight toning. I felt called to be an instructor in this format right when I took my first class as a participant. Since certifying I have taught 3 group fitness classes a week on average. After teaching High Fitness for 6 months I certified in a low impact version of High Fitness called High Low. I also certified in Barre and have been teaching Aqua Fit classes for a year and a half. I am a highly energetic, motivational instructor who always has a smile. My favorite part of instructing is making fitness fun! I have been told by my participants that my classes are a fun escape and something they look forward to all week. It is my passion when people enter my class that they feel welcomed and feel that they belong no matter where they are in their fitness journey. I make an effort to focus on gratitude for what their bodies can do and encourage them to honor what level they are at. I make it a priority to always show different options for different levels of performance. It is the highlight of my week to teach, have fun and make connections with my participants.

I love to teach formats that are taught with music. I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a minor in music. Music can unite people from all walks of life. It’s so rewarding to me to see participants bonding with one another over the nostalgia of songs that they love or new songs that they learn through my classes. I love the energy that comes from syncing certain moves to the perfect song or lyrics. In my opinion it unlocks the excitement and motivation to push the participants and give them just the right challenge to make it through to the end of the workout. I have had many participants say that my classes go by fast because they are having so much fun.

I would love the opportunity to become a fitness pro travel instructor. I believe I have the experience, drive, and personality to be a great addition.
