I've always been an active person. My passion for fitness developed at a young age through participation in youth sports. I continued to play basketball and field hockey, ultimately finishing my field hockey career at the collegiate level. When no longer a competitive athlete, I struggled to find purpose in training. I soon realized, however, that exercise is not a tool for us to reach our goals, but instead a pivotal part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I believe that fitness is not just about physical health, but also about mental health and well-being. It's important to take time to prioritize our health, and I hope that my class can act as an escape from the stressors of daily life and allow you to focus on yourself for a while. 

Over the years, I have still found ways to feed my competitive spirit - most notably participating in a few half marathons. However, my decision to join the CycleFit team was not driven by competition, but rather community. I attended a few classes and felt an overwhelming sense of motivation from those around me. It allowed me to feel the sense of comradery and fulfillment that I had been lacking. One of my favorites parts of exercising in a group setting is seeing people accomplish things they never thought possible. Whether it's pushing through a tough climb or setting a new personal record, I love seeing people surprise themselves and feel pride in their accomplishments. Together, we can push through the tough moments and celebrate the small victories. My goal is to create a positive, energizing and supportive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued, regardless of fitness level or experience. Let's work hard, laugh, and sweat together!
