Hi! I'm Melissa, your resident Define teacher! 💙
I started Pure Barre over 10 years ago in New Orleans while I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Since then, Pure Barre has been a constant through every move our family has made. I always found my new studio and instantly felt at home.
When Pure Barre South Elgin opened, Molly was looking for teachers. Becoming an instructor had always been a dream of mine, so I decided to go for it... and I've been loving every minute ever since!
Outside the studio, I work full-time in food R&D, stay busy volunteering for way too many things for my two girls, and spend time with my husband and 17-year-old cat. 😸
Teaching Define is one of my favorite parts of the week, and I'm so grateful to be part of this amazing community. Thanks for letting me be a small part of your fitness journey. I can't wait to see you in class!
