Kelly was born and raised in Schererville, Indiana and moved to Chesterton after getting married. She graduated from Purdue Calumet with a B.S. in Biology and has worked over 15 years at St. John Animal Clinic. Staying active has always been a passion of Kelly’s. Kelly and her husband love to travel and enjoy many activities ranging from running local races, backpacking, canoeing, scuba diving, and hiking just to name a few. A few years ago, Kelly suffered from a leg injury and consequently had surgery. She worried that her previous level of fitness would never be regained. But when Kelly took her first barre class only a few months after the studio opened, she Kelly fell in love. Although not a “dancer by training, Kelly loved the music in class, the atmosphere of the studio and of course what the workout did for her own physique. Kelly always felt comfortable and as a hard working individual, always eager to work on her form and overcome the challenge of each workout. Because of Barre + Beyond, Kelly has been inspired to live healthier and make better choices every day. She is excitied to be a part of the Barre + Beyond team and provide clients, beginners and veterans, the same inspiration and motivation she experienced to “be her better self” every day.
