MEGAFORMER

I have always been involved in sports and fitness from a young age, competing in soccer, track and golf until I was 18. The Place was the first studio I visited when I moved to Stockholm in 2019, and I fell in love with the Lagree workout. It was always a dream of mine to become a fitness instructor, so when the opportunity arose to teach megaformer at the Place, I was thrilled. When I’m not instructing, you’ll find me travelling to the US (my hometown is Boston), South Africa and other sunny places around the world. I also work as an organisational consultant during my ‘9-5’.

I like my classes to be challenging, yet do-able. My style is a mix of upbeat and uplifting, with a strong focus on breathing and really focusing on the mind muscle connection. It’s 50 minutes to forget the outside world, and completely focus on you and your body.

Oh gosh, an eclectic mix, but I air on the side of more chilled music. The Blaze, Rufus du Sol, Odeza, sombr, Raye - a whole mix but nothing too hectic. I create my playlist to build with the class intensity. I LOVE music and am constantly updating playlists based on the vibe, mood, season etc.

Hard to choose, but I am a big fan of Standing Inner Thighs & Giant Reverse Kneeling Crunch
