I have always made group fitness a part of my life, so after attending classes for many years, I decided to get certified. I love the way you feel after a great workout, and I wanted to bring that same feeling to others. Fitness should be fun, never boring, which is why I like to create varied and playful, yet challenging workout routines. I have a few favourite classes and they include Spinning, Kickboxing and Dumbell/Barbell classes.
