Jeri is from a small town in Alabama. She was a member of her collegiate marching band dance team & that is what sparked her love for fitness. After graduation in 2014, Jeri moved back to her home town & began her professional career working in the live music industry.

Jeri was active in her local gym, developed a love for running & at-home yoga, but she was lacking the intensity & energy that working in a team brought to the table. She took a barre class at a new local studio in 2017 & was instantly hooked. "I knew right away that group fitness was what I had been missing & I wanted to share that with others & become an instructor."

With the direction & leadership of her local fitness studio, Jeri began her professional fitness journey & began leading classes in 2018. In the spring of 2020, she expanded her barre training & completed Barre Intensity's Instructor Training. Although this is Jeri's first group fitness certification, she has set short term & long term goals to expand her fitness training & certifications.

"Our studio motto is 'Reach Higher, Grow Stronger' & I strongly feel that Barre Intensity is helping me reach that goal. I look forward to expanding my knowledge as an instructor & continuing my lifetime journey in group fitness."

In her free time, Jeri enjoys gardening, renovation projects, & attending concerts with her best friend & husband, Seth.
