Allison discovered barre in 2015. While finishing graduate school, she was looking for a fun and effective workout to ease some stress. She loved the combination of low impact and small, precise movements to create a full body and high intensity workout. The dynamic stretching increased both her flexibility and creates long, lean muscles-she’s been hooked ever since!

In 2016, Allison completed the comprehensive training program through Studio Barre & began teaching barre locally in Crown Point. She loved the atmosphere & and workout so much that she was motivated to became a barre Master Teacher Trainer in 2018 & in 2022, became a corporate trainer for the barre franchise headquarters in Carlsbad, CA.
