Crystal S.
Crystal's love for movement and fitness began in her years of taking dance classes, from tap to hip hop and ballet en pointe. Originally a Wausau, Wisconsin native, Crystal made the move to Madison to earn her Bachelor's degree in Education from UW-Madison. While on campus, she stayed active as captain of a collegiate club dance team and worked at recreation sports facilities. Crystal began her career as a high school English teacher in Ashwaubenon (Green Bay), WI, where she discovered Pure Barre and was instantly hooked. Pure Barre gave her the focus, energy, and challenge that dance provided, but also provided a community of wonderful, strong individuals to get to know and take class with regularly! Since moving to Evanston and joining the team in 2022, Crystal has continued her passion of leading and encouraging others to reach their health and fitness goals as a Pure Barre Instructor. She teaches all class formats, though her favorites to take are the high-energy Empower & Define! Outside of the studio, Crystal works as a K-8 Reading Specialist for an all-virtual school based in Wisconsin, reads great books with her virtual book club, and explores craft breweries or restaurants with her husband Josh.
