What to Expect in My Class:
High energy, great music, positive vibes, and choreography that will keep you having fun. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced dancer, you’ll get a workout, learn new moves, and leave smiling.
Off the Clock:
You’ll usually find me spending time with family and friends, listening to music, supporting my 5 year old daughter, trying new workouts, enjoying the outdoors or going on new adventures.

💃 Why I Teach:
I teach because I genuinely love to dance—and I love dancing with people! There’s something special about creating a space where everyone can let go, have fun, and celebrate life together. My goal is to make everyone feel welcome, included, and comfortable being themselves. Dance is my happy place, and I want my classes to be yours, too!
🎉 What to Expect in My Zumba Class:
A high-energy dance party where we happen to get in a workout!
We’ll dance to Latin, International, and Pop music, while dancing to rhythms like Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton and Cumbia.
My goal is simple: dance happy, sweat, smile, and leave feeling better than when you walked in. Every class is a little celebration of life! ❤️
🔥 What to Expect in My Swerk Class:
We bounce, we shake, and we kick off the weekend with a PARTY! 🔥
Swerk is a high-energy hip-hop dance class where you can let loose, be yourself, and dance like you're clubbing in the 2000s. Party energy, big moves, and zero judgment. This is your chance to turn the gym into the weekend’s hottest dance floor! 💃🪩
❤️ Off the Clock:
When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with family, my husband and our two kids. I also love traveling, shopping, and planning, and organizing themed dance parties! 😂🎉
🎶 Favorite Hype Song:
“Gasolina” — Daddy Yankee 🔥
If this comes on, you already know we’re turning it UP!
🍰 Guilty Pleasure:
Anything sweet. Give me cake with buttercream frosting, a good doughnut, or crème brûlée and I’m very, very happy. 😂🍩🧁
Why I teach:
Losing 160 pounds through diet and exercise completely changed my life. Along the way, I gained more than just a healthier body—I found the confidence, happiness, and sense of purpose I had been missing. That transformation showed me just how powerful fitness can be, and I knew I wanted to help others experience those same life-changing benefits. My goal is to inspire and support people on their own journeys, helping them build healthier lives while discovering the confidence and happiness that come with becoming the best version of themselves.
What to expect in my class:
You are going to push yourself, but you’re never going to be alone in the process. I design my classes to be challenging and rewarding for all fitness levels. My goal is for every person who steps into my class to walk out feeling stronger and proud of what they accomplished—to be able to say, “I wasn’t sure I could do that, but I did it!”
Off the clock:
I am a busy mom of 3 boys doing foreign military sales for the Air Force full time. I love to run, listen to music and go to concerts, and spend time with my boyfriend, friends, and family.
Favorite hype song:
I am a rock/metal head. My hype song in the gym is Watch the World Burn by Falling in Reverse, but don’t let my rocker girl title fool you.. I am also the biggest Hanson and Olivia Rodrigo fan!
Guilty Pleasure:
bad reality tv. Love is Blind, Married at First Sight, The Challenge, The Circle, etc.
Why I teach:
Dance brings everyone together. I don’t care what race, religion, ethnicity or age you are. Dancing together unifies the most unlikely friends.
My life: psalm 30:11. You turned my mourning into dancing!
I also love helping people find their dance.
What to Expect in My Class:
Early 2000s to today’s hits. Dancing, stepping and strengthening. Shake off whatever has you overwhelmed you that. Laugh while dancing. Modifications and your own pace is more than acceptable to me, as I tend to mess up many songs.
Off the Clock:
I’m never off the clock!
Favorite Hype Song:
I believe - Pitbull

Why I teach:
I believe movement is the ultimate key to mobility, longevity, and long-term quality of life. Fitness isn't just about what we do inside the gym, but about keeping our bodies strong, agile, and resilient so we can keep doing the things we love for years to come. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you can show up as you are, build functional strength, and walk out feeling empowered and your best self.
What to Expect in My Class:
Expect clear form cues, adaptable modifications for every fitness level, and a whole lot of encouragement. My class will include a mix of strength and weight training along with flexibility and mobility exercises. We focus on smart, sustainable movement while working hard, and we don't take ourselves too seriously!
Off the Clock:
When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually adventuring with my family, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, or unwinding with a fun crafting project.
Favorite Hype Song:
It depends on the day, it could be anything from Lil Wayne to Ozzy Osbourne!
Guilty Pleasure:
Something savory freshly made from scratch!

Liege Simons
Why I teach:
Pound® helps people process stress and release emotional pain through musical connection and movement. This amazing fitness program changed my life and has been an integral part of my healing and spiritual journey over the last decade.
Pound® is uniquely immersive and allows you to become the music, as if you are on stage jamming with the band.
Music brings people together, and it is my passion to guide others and build community.
I love empowering people to embrace their authentic self and unleash their inner rockstar!
What to Expect in My Class:
The Pound® community is known for being"fitness rebels" for a reason. This is not a typical exercise class!
There will be drum solos, air guitar, singing into the Ripstix, and lots of silliness and modifications (all from me, but you are encouraged to join me in the shenanigans).
I offer a fun, welcoming, high vibe, laid-back environment that encourages you to listen to your body while immersing yourself in the music. Safety, fun, and comfort are the focus over perfection.
I tend to focus my setlist on rock/alternative music, but I also include pop songs occasionally. I welcome feedback and try to keep class favorites in the rotation as much as possible. I also love to do special setlists (ie Halloween, 80's, Galentine's, and other themes).
My goal is for you to get an amazing workout while having fun and experiencing a concert-like atmosphere.
Off the Clock:
I'm an in-house corporate attorney for a global organization, and I am the owner of Divine Love Healing, LLC, which offers tarot readings, reiki, spiritual guidance, and fitness classes.
I love doing hot yoga to decompress. I also enjoy spending time with my family and snuggling with my cats.
I'm obsessed with rollercoasters and football (Who Dey!)
Favorite Hype Song:
Lose Yourself (Eminem) and Welcome to the Jungle (Guns N' Roses)
Guilty Pleasure:
Salty carbs and spontaneous adventures
