When I’m not at ALIGN: I’m the Marketing Operations Manager at Fiddlehead Brewing Company! On the weekends you can probably catch me at the Burlington Farmers Market and the St Johns Club! I also occasionally drive down to Rye NH to go surfing.
Favorite drill or exercise? I really love fun choreography, mix of tap backs, arm presses and crunches! I also really love teaching hybrid classes, so keep an eye on the schedule for Cycle x Core and Cycle x Lift classes! In the fit room, I love a spicy core section featuring hollow body holds and Russian twists.
My musical vibe is: I love a variety of music, so expect anything from retro to current favorites. Regardless of the theme, it will have a great beat and be a full body workout!
Favorite post-class meal: After teaching an evening class, probably a Taco Gordo Carnitas Burrito. In the mornings, I love a protein packed smoothie!
What inspires me: You never know what you can do until you try. Add that resistance, pick up a heavier weight. You can always dial it back but the hard work of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is where growth comes from. I remember a time not too long ago, I was terrified to even try a spin class and am so glad I did! Cycling is as much a mental exercise as a physical one. You may be surprised what you can do once you try!
