Client Experience Enthusiast/ Lagree Certified Trainer

Bri moved from Virginia to the Raleigh area, 3 years ago and quickly fell in love with the city and the people. Exercise and staying active has always played a huge role in her life. Looking to build community through fitness and struggled finding a home, she discovered Rush Cycle Morrisville. She found the community she was searching with loud music, positive instruction on a bike to nowhere. She soon became a spin instructor. It was there that she found a deep passion for group fitness and coaching, hoping to inspire others, like other trainers had inspired her.

"On a whim I decided to come to Elite Core. I fell in love, Fast! Lagree was foreign to me and the Megaformer scared me, but I quickly found myself being pushed physically and mentally and I became obsessed. I love that Lagree is really for anyone, old or young, well established in your fitness journey or at just the beginning, Lagree offers something for everyone. It only took 3 classes for me to start feeling stronger and seeing how working on my core was helping me in other areas of fitness! I wanted to quickly join the Elite Core team because I felt the joy the Elite Core community offered. I love group fitness and I love sharing my passion for it with those in my classes! In my class you can find upbeat positivity, a mix of personally curated music, and leave feeling good about what you’ve accomplished! " - Bri

As a mother of three very active boys, Kathleen sought out exercise for herself to keep up with them, as well as for her much needed “me time”. A huge proponent of self-care equals self-love, she tired almost every type of workout there is and always gravitated to classes that gave her that “runner’s high”. While she loved the feeling she got from the high impact, cardio workout, her body began to revolt against them. After having her third child, she recognized that she could no longer endure all those high impact classes and a friend, a Lagree fanatic, recommended that she check out the method. Curios and open to something new, she jumped at the chance and instantly fell in love!

“Lagree gave me that high intensity, mood boosting, experience without all the pain on my joints. As I continued my Lagree journey, I wanted to know what was behind this amazing, result driven, low impact, high intensity workout. About four years ago our family relocated to Raleigh from Texas giving me the opportunity to attend two Lagree training workshops. This certification has provided me with a better understanding of the proper Lagree form and methodology. Elite Core is now allowing me to share the passion and knowledge I have for the Lagree method with all of you!” - Kathleen
