Alyssa

Alyssa moved to Knoxville in 2024 and has been teaching at Pure Barre Knoxville since August 2025. She regularly teaches Pure Barre Classic at our Bearden studio. Alyssa began her Pure Barre journey in 2014 after moving to Atlanta, Georgia. She quickly fell in love with the workout—not only for how fun and effective it is, but also for the strong, supportive community it creates. She became an instructor and attended training without realizing she was pregnant at the time! Alyssa went on to teach throughout all three of her pregnancies and has taught at several studios across Metro Atlanta as well as in her hometown of Columbia, Missouri. Originally from Missouri, Alyssa is a graduate of the University of Missouri. She has a background in healthcare and worked as an Emergency Room Registered Nurse in Washington, DC, and Ann Arbor, Michigan after college. Outside of Pure Barre, Alyssa plays competitive tennis, enjoys hiking, exploring new local spots with her husband, and baking and crafting with her three little girls. She looks forward to growing her community and getting to know you at Pure Barre Knoxville!
