Seattle, Washington.

3 years.

I was in Pharmaceutical Sales and a stay at home mom to my 4 kids.

I used to live out my passion for fitness by coaching my kids’ sports teams. Volleyball, basketball, and soccer. It was such a great experience that I knew I wanted to do more. I was lucky enough to fall into the fitness industry 8 years ago when I was asked to become a Barre instructor. The training I received was amazing and allowed me to take my passion for fitness to the next level. I had always wanted to be in a position to help people. Teaching allows me to motivate and help others gain confidence in themselves. I personally struggled with working out and maintaining a healthy weight when I was younger and can relate to many others who have had the same struggles.

I discovered Lagree over 5 years ago at Body Lab in Leawood, Kansas. I was completely humbled when I took my first class. I absolutely love the workout and how it is never easy. There is always another level to take your workout to and I think it is so important to keep your mind and body challenged. Opening a Lagree studio has been one of the most amazing experiences. I love introducing people to Lagree. The most challenging, safe, effective workout out there.

I love all leg exercises! My favorite is runner’s lunge.
