After retiring, I was able to take a wide variety of classes at Retrofit and was hooked.  There is a great sense of community here, it’s fun and the studio is welcoming to all ages and abilities. After practising regularly for many years, I completed my Reformer and Mat Teacher Training through the Balanced Body program under the tutelage of Retrofit founder Barbara Grant.

I’m not an elite athlete, dancer or former Cirque du Soleil performer like some of the other outstanding teachers here. I’m a regular woman who wants to keep moving as long as I can and help people like me to stay active and healthy.   I continue to learn with every class I teach or take. We can’t all do every exercise perfectly and it doesn’t matter – the prep IS the work and consistency is key to getting stronger.
