Hey there! I'm Macey and I am one of the Barre instructors here! I'd love to tell you a little bit about me. I was a competitive gymnast growing up and continued that passion on
through college. Truly one of the best experiences of my life. Once I retired from the sport I had a tough time finding a workout that I enjoyed, I didn't think it was possible. I tried just about everything in the book until I discovered Barre and just fell in love with it. I am so excited to help you do the same! I have a love for people and I can't wait to be a part
of your journey, whatever that may be!

Hey guys! I’m Katie, and my family and I live in Midland, where we own two small businesses, Crêpes Et Amis and Iron Dame.
I’ve always loved to dance, so I got certified in Zumba over 10 years ago and have been teaching ever since. Currently, I also teach at Allied Group Fitness in Midland.
One of my favorite things about fitness classes is seeing people smile. Movement benefits the mind as much as the body. People often come in tired and stressed, but leave feeling joyful and relieved.
Recently, I got spin certified and teach Jumps (the one with the boots!), along with various other group fitness classes. I’m also working on personal trainer and health coach certifications.
I’m excited to be part of this team and dance with everyone!

Katie
