What's your fitness background like, and what made you choose PB?
My fitness background is mainly in cheerleading; I cheered my entire life and competitively through high school. I danced at a local dance academy on the side as well. While I've always tried to stay active and love being part of a team, group fitness has always been a back and fourth game with me - I would be so into one thing for a while and then move onto the next. Nothing stuck. When I tried Pure Barre, it all changed. It was in the way the class flowed, the constant challenge, the music, the teachers, the community; everything about the experience pulled me in. I have been taking Pure Barre for nearly 5 years and teaching for 3, and I am still excited before each class starts.
What was it like to make the switch from a 9-5 job to being your own boss?
It was, and still is, exciting and terrifying - basically a big mixture of emotions and feelings. I have learned more about myself than I could have ever imagined, I am the most fulfilled that I have ever been, and I know this is what I am meant to do.
