How long have you been teaching at Fierce45?:
7 fun & inspiring months!
Three words to describe your classes?:
Challenging, but doable 💪Favorite move on the machine?:
I have too many to count! But the ones that always get me shaking are Back Carriage Lunge & Heavy Lateral Lunge for legs and I always love a Hinged Mtn Climber or Heavy Seated Torso twist to keep those obliques on fleek ✨What is your favorite thing about the Fierce45 community?:
The way the coaches and clients in this community have truly transformed my life! In January 2019, my friend Nicole took me to my first Fierce45 class 4 months before my wedding with the intention, at the time, of getting my ass in shape after many years of living a sedentary lifestyle. I thought I would surely give it up after those 4 months, but Fierce inspired me to be my best self physically, mentally, and emotionally and continuously pushed me out of my comfort zone, so I never stopped. Fast-forward 2 1/2 years and I quit my day job to work at Fierce full time because this workout and the Fierce community has changed my life in so many impactful ways that I developed a deep desire to share it with those around me. I love being a part of the Fierce community and I'm so excited to do something I love every single day!Why do you love teaching at Fierce45?:
Having the opportunity to be a positive influence on someone else's day is extremely inspiring and something I am so grateful for. Coaching allows me to fill up my cup, even on my worst days when I feel my cup is empty. Nothing makes me feel as energized as teaching a challenging class with hard-hitting house music - other than taking class myself!Tell us a fun fact about you!:
My maiden name is Ellyse Perry and back when Googling yourself became a thing, I searched my name and found that there's a famous Australian cricket player with the exact same name and spelling as me! She's also blonde so I was often mistaken for her on the internet. Don't believe me? Look it up!Besides Fierce45, what are 3 of your favorite things?:
That's tough because Fierce is definitely in my typical top 3! I'd have to say 1) my dogs Scooter & Koda 2) brunch complete with bacon & a Bloody Mary or two 😉 3) watching Bravo TV shows with my husband, Eric - we're big Below Deck, Vanderpump Rules, and Southern Charm fans in this house!
