First walking into a dance studio at the age of three, courtney has always loved dancing, performing and movement. dance, competitive cheer and gymnastics filled her days through graduating from the university of florida and beyond. not one for traditional exercise or the cardio game, she was always on the hunt for something different but left wanting more. discovering barre almost five years ago, courtney knew she had found her jam. as much as she loved the workout, her studio was lacking a real personality – people who really engaged, motivated and brought their own spirit to the room.
Cue a move from the east coast to the best coast three years ago where she met the love of her life…studio barre! ever since the first class, courtney knew she had found her home and happy place. she was in the studio four times a week, rain or shine – rising to relevé only two days before giving birth to her second baby! her favorite things about the studio were, and still are, the energy brought by barre{tenders} and clients alike, not to mention the results from a killer workout! after taking classes for several years, courtney was asked to audition as a barre{tender} and the rest is history.
Courtney loves her clients and the feeling she gets as she encourages and helps each person achieve their best class no matter where they are in life. from the youngest to the oldest, she’s inspired by the strength and plain old fun every person brings to class. courtney’s motto for class is “yes you can” because no matter what is happening in your day or whatever your fitness level, you absolutely can!
