Originally from the NY Tri-State area I’ve also lived in Chicago and NYC.  Over the last 40 years I have pursued a variety of exercise formats.  I was a competitive bodybuilder in the ‘80s, studied modern dance and massage therapy in the ‘90s, and then received a B.Sc. in Exercise from CUNY Brooklyn College.  I’m an ACSM certified personal trainer, an AFAA certified group instructor, and have been teaching group fitness since 2005, Pilates since 2014, and Barre since 2016. In this field a professional is always studying and learning, so I am the constant student as well as instructor. Exercise is my therapy, teaching my passion, and those whom I teach are my inspiration.
