Maria is a Colorado native, born and raised in Littleton. She moved on to California after high school to attend the University of San Diego. Post-grad, she spent a summer working for the San Diego Padres on “Pad Squad”, aka she was a professional t-shirt thrower during baseball
games. She then followed her love of warm-weather and the ocean to Maui, Hawaii where she spent 5 years as a Wedding and Event Planner.

Family-ties brought her back to Colorado, and she is enjoying being back in her hometown. Maria was a multi-sport athlete growing up, and continued her love of fitness and exercise through her adulthood. She was introduced to Lagree in Maui from a dear friend, and was immediately hooked. The workout was killer, and the community was so supportive and
fun. Her other loves include her puppy, happy hour, and spending time with good-vibing people.

Lindsey has been teaching Lagree fitness for over five years and has had the pleasure of being trained by Sebastian Lagree himself on more than one occasion. "You never forget a class taught by Sebastian!! It's a pretty intense experience "

Her appreciation for physical fitness can be traced back to her days competing in gymnastics, volleyball, and performing with a hip-hop dance crew. All of these experiences have made her the trainer she is today!

"As an instructor, I care most about creating a fun and energetic atmosphere where people can get a killer workout and leave with new friends".

ALYSSA KAPNER

Alyssa is originally from Rochester, New York and moved to Denver in 2017. She started dancing at a young age and continued dancing throughout college, even minoring in dance at Ithaca College where she graduated in 2010. Fitness has always been an extremely important part of Alyssa's life, and especially fitness classes. It wasn't until she moved to Denver where she discovered Lagree, and like everybody else became addicted to this challenging, effective, and FUN workout. In 2019, Alyssa was taking at least 4-5 classes a week, and it became clear that she needed to get her Lagree certification. She has the best time creating playlists that will make this extremely tough workout manageable and the most enjoyable for everybody! When she isn't at Pilates Evolution Southglenn, she is a 2nd grade teacher in Denver Public Schools. Alyssa is also a part of a couple of different dance companies around Denver. In her spare time she loves being outdoors whether that is hiking, skiing, paddle boarding, or camping in the summertime!

Brooke Farrell

Originally from Colorado, Brooke moved around from Kansas to Chicago to California until finally landing back home. Having battled autoimmune issues the majority of her life, Brooke turned towards movement to help herself heal and she completed her 200 hr RYT and RockIt Body Pilates certifications while living in LA.

She is a nerd for anatomy, has found a recent obsession with pre and post natal movement and prides herself in making class challenging yet accessible.

When she’s not teaching you can find her doing anything that involves the outdoors, petting every puppy she passes and busting out the awkward t-rex on the dance floor.

KELLY CRETTOL

Hi, I’m Kelly Crettol and I LOVE Lagree fitness!

I took my first Lagree class over twelve years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. As a client, Lagree changed the way my body feels and looks. The workout pushes me mentally and physically in ways I’ve never experienced before. It is a mix of physical strength, flexibility but most importantly mental fortitude and power.

I’m a strong believer that movement helps heal the body and Lagree has been my salvation in easing the pain and grief I’ve experienced from a lifetime struggle with endometriosis. I’m an early riser, so a morning Lagree class is my version of a cup of coffee and the best thing I can do to set my day up for success – a good shake and sweat can easily take my mind off the pain and anguish of the disease.

After being a client for such a long time, I finally decided to share my love of Lagree with others, and I became an instructor in July 2023.

Come join me for an early morning class and get your body moving!

SARA BIBB

Hi I'm Sara! I grew up in Littleton and moved out of state for awhile before finding my way back home. I have a degree in Health and Exercise Science which really made me love movement and nutrition! I love spending time outside, traveling, and with my family. I’ll take a good book or a puzzle any day of the week.

Come see me Thursday and Sunday mornings!
