Our Instructors

Hi my name is Amanda Parrott! I’m a fitness fanatic, former collegiate volleyball and soccer player, and professional Uber driver for my children. I have 2 kiddos 7 & 10 that keep me on my toes! I love everything active and outdoors. My passion is exercise and the impact it has on mental and physical health.

Katie relocated to Denver in 2012 after spending five years in Southern California. She discovered Lagree during a girl’s night out event and immediately loved it. She is passionate about the slow burning workout and the fast results it provides. Her love for fitness and nutrition stemmed from her early years in competitive cheerleading. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Oklahoma. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, biking and camping with her husband and two daughters. Katie loves trying new foods and creating new recipes in the kitchen.

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".

Katrina has been active in sports and anything to do with outdoors since her youth. She has recently started SUPing in her journey to always have fun and enjoy the outdoors. She has been with the Southglenn team since opening their doors in 2013. Katrina was hooked from her 1st class and was amazed at how awesome and challenging this workout is. Since beginning with us she has had 2 beautiful baby girls and feels with her back ground as a Physical Therapist Assistant she can help you achieve your fitness goals.

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!
