Instructor

Movement has always been a part of my life. Started dancing at the age of four and continued into High School until I discovered the world of weight lifting and functional training. I immediately fell in love with the gyms and what transformation my body took. After finishing High school I decided to pursue a career as a Fitness instructor and Personal trainer while going to school. My biggest strength has always been guiding people to achieve a healthier lifestyle whether through movement or building community. I myself always look to try new things that will continue to help me grow not only as a fitness instructor but also as an individual. 

 

During Covid we moved our family of four to go live in my Husband's city of Milan in Italy. This is where I discovered the world of Pilates and decided to pursue a certification with one of the Academies there. At the same time i myself was training vigorously in Olympic Weight Lifting with a Gym I attended. Working with one of the coaches one on one we both started to truly see the benefits that Pilates was giving me. Helped to take my weight lifting to a whole other level and helped me excel in competitions. 

 

Coming from a dance background and moving into weight lifting and now currently training and competing in BJJ ( Brazilian Jiu /jitsu)  I can say without a doubt that Pilates has truly changed my life. My style of class if I had to describe it would be a sweaty invigorating experience. You will definitely feel all those tiny muscles for the next few days but I wouldn't have it any other way. To achieve progress we must step out of our comfort zone. That is what I will do for you
