Kristy brings a mix of fitness background to the studio. As a former gymnast, she loves equipping her clients to reach every movement with good form and posture. She knows this is where real change happens in the body, and she is passionate about creating an environment where all barre beauties leave the studio with stronger bodies and minds. She loves barre because the movements work to not only create long, lean muscle but they also focus on strength training using isometric movements that challenge you every time you walk into the studio.
