When did you take your first class at SPARK45?

I took my first Megaformer class in March of 2017How did you discover SPARK45?

When, and Why did you become a Lagree Fitness Instructor at SPARK45?

I discovered Spark 45 looking for a Physical Therapist due to sever back pain. I never made my fist appointment because I ended up in the hospital with a herniated disk. Following a successful operation and one month of sedentary recovery I connected with Danielle and she became my physical therapist. After a few months she said I was ready for the Megaformer and since then I have been a regular.

I became an instructor in February of 2018. Danielle was looking to add some more instructors and I was transitioning out of full time employment and thought it would be a fun thing to do. I like being around all of the positive energy that people bring to the classes and it gives me a chance to help others on their journey of physical fitness.

What is your favorite move?

My favorite move is Teaser. For my body type it just seems to be the most effective on the obliques.

What move do you internally (or audibly) groan about during class?

Any of the floor lunges.

Why do you love SPARK45 and the mega former?

Spark 45 seems to draw people who have a positive outlook on life. I like being around positive forward visioning people. The Megaformer has changed my life. I am so much stronger now and feel so good being a regular student of Lagree.

What is your favorite motivational thought/phrases to help you get through a tough move?

At this point in my practice of Lagree I don't really have any thought or phrase that I think about when in the middle of a tough move. I just zone out and focus on the muscle group and embrace the pain.

A fun random fact about me is that this is the only formal workout that I have ever participated in
