Fitness Instructor

Fitness Instructor at Joplin Gym

I’ve proudly been part of the EPH&F community for over 20 years. I didn’t start at the front of the room — I started as a member, taking the very classes I now teach. After being encouraged by another instructor to pursue my certifications, currently FitTour Indoor Cycling and CPR/AED. I took the leap… and I’ve never looked back.

You can expect high energy, smart programming, and workouts that are designed to challenge everyone. Whether you’re lifting 5-lb dumbbells or 30-lb dumbbells, you will be working hard. I intentionally design my classes to be accessible and scalable so that every participant — regardless of fitness level, experience, or limitations — gets an effective, empowering workout. I offer modifications when needed, because progress should never come at the cost of injury. My goal is for you to leave feeling stronger, accomplished, and proud.

Spin holds a special place in my heart — it’s where my instructor journey began. There’s nothing like pedaling to the beat of powerful music, pushing past mental limits, and discovering what your body is capable of. I’ve had the privilege of watching beginner riders transform — building strength, confidence, endurance, and belief in themselves. That transformation is why I teach.

Above all, my classes may be challenging — but they’re also FUN. Fitness should energize you, not feel like a chore.

My philosophy is simple:
Challenge yourself. Try new things. Modify when you need to. Listen to your body.
