Anna Palsgaard
What inspired you to start teaching?
I grew up in dance classes for 14 years, so when I took my first barre class, I felt incredibly drawn to this style of movement. Since earning my barre certification in February, I have spent time learning Sculpt and Strength style modalities and have developed a deep love and appreciation for movement. It helps that my mom is a spin instructor.

What can students expect from your classes?
I spend a lot of time creating a fun playlist, so you can expect motivating music. I feel incredibly honored to be able to move with a class, so expect a challenging class with plenty of encouragement!
​
​What’s your favorite part of class and why?​​
My favorite part of class is thigh work at the barre, especially with the ball. The ball is my favorite prop. I think thighs at the barre is the best place to build endurance and get the “barre shakes,” it's a fun time!
What’s your teaching superpower?
I think a fun workout is just as important as a hard one, so my teaching superpower is fun encouragement and a class that makes you want to come back for more.

What’s one fun or quirky fact about you that most people don’t know?
I love Gordon Ramsay
What lights you up outside the studio?
I love taking my friend’s dog on walks along the Bob Jones Trail. I love tending my garden and cooking with my little harvests. I love spending time with my cats and watching Hell’s Kitchen.
