In my 15 years in the industry, I have taught close to 10,000 group fitness classes, I have trained and managed a group of 50 group fitness instructors, taught the FIT YMCA program in Quebec, and started my own business in 2020 when the pandemic hit to then open my own studio in 2021. My experience has allowed me to see some of the best and worst practices in the industry. It also allows me to provide first-hand experience of what it is like getting into, progressing and excelling in the industry. 

In 2024 I was one of the top 3 finalists for canfitpro Fitness Instructor Specialist and knew it was time to continue to pass on that knowledge to the future of the fitness industry. My goal for anyone taking my class is to leave the course feeling empowered to lead a safe, effective, fun group fitness class and have their participants coming back on the regular.
