COlumbia & Lake Murray

I started teaching group fitness not too long after college. I got certified in so many different types of classes and loved being on the mic. I had a day job, but fitness was my whole heart. Once I had my first daughter, I decided I wanted to take a break from pharma sales and see what I wanted to do next. I kept dreaming of my own studio, so I took a huge leap and decided to bring a boutique fitness concept to Columbia (and this is when no one knew what boutique fitness was). Barre3 changed my life in the very best way. I opened barre3 because I wanted a better fitness option for myself, and I thought others would feel the same way. Barre3 has met me where I am for almost a decade now. I feel strong in my own body, connected with our wonderful community and alive when I sweat to the fun music. We had clients driving 45 minutes from the lake one way to Columbia each way to take class. I knew I had to open a second studio! I wanted to make this amazing place accessible to everyone in our area. So, for years now I have bounced between both studios. I teach every single day and love it more each day than the day before. And barre3 continues to meet me where I am each day and bring me a community that fills my cup in so many ways.
