Sydney Place-Sallstrom

In the almost ten years I've taught group fitness, I've only grown to love it more and more each year. I have a wide variety of experience and certifications that blend into all of the classes I teach, which I believe gives me unique and original offerings even within the formats I currently teach. 

I was an athlete in my younger years and understand the importance of cueing and teaching modifications to make moves simpler or more advanced based on each individual's body and fitness experience. Everyone brings different injuries or workaround needs to a class and I want everyone to feel successful with moves that are appropriate for their level when they leave. This is especially important in my current position as I teach a wide variety of ages, from 18-80 years old. 

Even though I believe in modifications, I am known to be a "hard" instructor. I take pride in the time I spend class planning and want my movements to be effective, challenging, original and fun. If my clients are giving me their time, I want to make it worthwhile (especially if they're on vacation). 

I have a musical theater background and bring an entertaining, performative style to my teaching. I spend time on creating playlists that I believe add to the class vibes and give clients the extra push when they're craving their second-wind. 

Group fitness is my career, my passion and my hobby and I my vast experience can find a fit with your company.
