Amy A.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA; GO Steelers! I moved to Georgia in 2001 to escape the cold, snowy winters and to start my doctoral degree at Emory University in Genetics. After obtaining my Ph.D. in 2007, I spent the next five years working for the government in Durham, NC, where I met my husband, Rob. We then moved to Augusta in 2011 when I became faculty at what will become Augusta University. Our family became complete with the adoption of our son Nathaniel in 2015. Over eight years ago, a little exercise studio opened close to my house, Pure Barre Augusta. I started taking classes, fell in love, and have been involved with the studio ever since. I have taken over 1500 classes! I have seen many people come and go over the years, but everyone that has ever entered that studio and taken a class is part of the Pure Barre Family. I love that all the clients and staff at Pure Barre Augusta support and motivate each other every day. I was inspired to become a Pure Barre teacher in 2020 and I am certified to teach Classic, Reform, Align, and Define. I love sharing my passion for Pure Barre with everyone so please come take my class.
