Area Group Fitness Manager for Equinox Fitness clubs and a native New Englander, Kristy fell in love with Group Fitness 18 years ago and has been teaching/managing  in health clubs throughout Massachusetts, NYC and NH ever since.  She is a former Hip-Hop dancer, with both a contemporary dance and musical theatre background. In addition to her work in the fitness industry, for the past 12 years she works both as a choreographer and performer in theatre venues throughout the New England area. Kristy holds a B.F.A. from Emerson College. Additional certifications with AFAA, Mad Dogg Athletics, Yoga Tune Up®, AAAI/ISMA, Reebok, BOSU, Yogafit, Fit Kidz, Powerstrike (Forza, Impact & Powerstrike) and STOTT (SPX & Arc barrel). Yoga Tune-Up allows me to encourage students to dig deeper into their minds and bodies and make stronger and lasting connections to their movement patterns. It is both challenging and nurturing for the participants and it has brought pain free living to the lives of many.
