Group fitness formats — Boston

What I teach

Five formats, one throughline: every class is engineered before it's performed. Here's what each one actually does to your muscles — and why that changes how I program it.

The formatsStrength is home base — everything else sharpens it.

  • Strength

    My home base. This is where we build muscle — by progressively overloading your type II (fast-twitch) fibers, the ones with the most growth potential and the ones only heavy, intentional work wakes up. Dumbbell-driven group strength with intelligent block programming: balanced patterns, loads that mean something, and those last hard reps where the change actually happens.

  • Yoga Sculpt

    Yoga's flow with weight in your hands — strength layered over breath and rhythm, working both sides of your muscle fibers in one sweaty, music-driven hour.

  • Barre

    Small movements, big burn — and real science behind the shake. Barre lives in your type I (slow-twitch) fibers: the endurance fibers that respond to high reps, tiny pulses, and time under tension. It's why the lightest weights in the building can humble the strongest people in the room.

  • Pilates Fusion

    Core-first strength where control is the skill. Like barre, Fusion trains those type I endurance fibers — slow, precise, deeply fatiguing work that builds the stability and stamina your heavy lifts stand on.

  • Yoga

    My longest love — the practice I've kept the most years, and the one I bring into everything else I teach. Breath-led flow that trains the slow-twitch endurance your holds demand, plus the mobility, patience, and recovery your strength training is quietly begging for.
