Who is T-Fit for?

When I was 16, I’d pop my West Side Story CD into my Walkman, flip open a notebook, and map out choreography to Cool. Circles, Xs, arrows — my own secret rehearsal scribbles. No stage, no audience, no teacher. Just me and the joy of movement.

Not long after, I’d slip into the College of Southern Idaho at 5 a.m. to use the auditorium stage. Choreographing dances to Wicked under the dim lights, with the janitor letting it slide because he knew I wasn’t causing trouble. Later, in college, I’d set my alarm for 4 a.m. to get into the dance studio before classes started. Just me, the mirrors, and the music. Pure creation.

By 24, between my first couple of kids, the habit hadn’t left me. I’d head to Gold’s Gym at 10 p.m., not for the treadmill but for the empty studio. I built a full 17-minute Lion King production number — stampede ripples, a Scar vs. Simba fight, the whole thing. No one ever performed it. It was just for me.

Why? Because I couldn’t not do it. Creating movement has always been my outlet, my obsession, my joy.

As my kids grew, life shifted. In Idaho, I became a certified group fitness instructor — teaching dance fitness, kickboxing, yoga, weightlifting. With my exercise science degree, I learned how to structure classes with repetition, layered breakdowns, and progressions that actually helped people improve. I built a thriving fitness community for nearly a decade.

When we left Idaho, I lost that community. But I found myself circling back to my roots: choreography, Broadway, and the artistry I’d always carried. That’s when Theatre Fitness was born — a fusion of artistry and fitness, designed to make complex choreography accessible while still demanding consistency and effort.

Who This Class is For

• Mature teens who are ready to build confidence, focus, and resilience.

• Young adults who love musical theatre, dance, and a challenge.

• Beginners who are willing to try — you don’t have to be polished, but you do have to be ready to put in effort.

• Dancers who want to solidify technique, train consistently, and grow.

• And if you’re a little older? Great. “Young” is a mindset — if you’re willing to train like a performer, you’re in.

  
  

Who This Class is Not For

• People just looking for a “fun one-time” class to dabble.

• Teens who only want to mess around instead of focus.

• Those needing one-on-one instruction the whole time.

• Anyone not physically ready to move at an intermediate pace safely.

  
  

What It Looks Like

• Fast-paced, sweaty, Broadway-style combos.

• Repetition, breakdowns, and layers that make even challenging choreography learnable.

• Accessible to non-dancers with focus and willingness to try.

• A place where beginners and seasoned performers can both walk away better than when they came in.

  
  

What It’s Not

• A slow, beginner-only class.

• A low-impact or medically modified workout.

  
  

That said, I always show options. No one gets turned away for starting where they are. My goal is progress, not perfection.

If you’re someone who trains consistently — or wants to start — who loves the work for its own sake, and who values growth over just “getting through,” this is for you.

Because theatre fitness isn’t about applause. It’s about respect for your craft, discipline for your body, and joy in the work.

So the only question is: are you ready to show up, put in the reps, and surprise yourself with what you can do?

If you’ve been searching for something that feels like rehearsal, that wakes up your inner choreographer, and that leaves you sweaty and grinning because you nailed that combo after ten tries — then you belong here.

This isn’t just fitness. It’s theatre. It’s community. It’s creation.

And if you read this and thought, “Oh my gosh, that’s me”? I can’t wait to see you in class.
