OUR INSTRUCTORS

 CHERESE DANIEL-ADJODHA 

In January 2018, I decided to take control of my health, body and overall well-being. Along with healthier eating habits, I started indoor cycling & fell in love! I eventually started cycling 3-4 times a week, and developed a new passion for fitness and wanting to share that passion with others! Cycling gives me the opportunity to clear my mind, zone out for about 45-60 minutes & focus on my ride! In the process, I've lost weight (45 lbs & counting), I'm healthier and most importantly, I feel good on the inside! I'm very thankful to the supportive team of women who encouraged and inspired me to be Great and Keep Pushing!
As an ACE Certified GFI and a Certified Cycling Instructor, I promise to keep your classes fun, motivating & entertaining with feel good vibes! You will work hard and get in shape all while listening to some great tunes! (I also take song requests 😉). Will you join me on this Fitness Journey at Sweet Fit VI? I hope that you will. Let's do this together and become the best version of ourselves.

ANYA CASTOR

For years I struggled to find a cardio workout that I actually liked (or that I could stick with). Early 2018, a friend invited me to an indoor cycling class and I was hooked! Indoor cycling gives me the burn I want while making me feel really good about myself.  I am a Certified Cycling Instructor at Sweet Fit VI and I'm excited to share what I've learned along my journey with everybody! My goal is to inspire you and to get you excited about Fitness! My classes are Challenging and Fun! You will leave feeling motivated, energized and ready for another session!

BEGINNERS YOGA

This class introduces the basics of yoga to those who are new to the practice, as well as those interested in continuing to work on the fundamentals such as poses (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and alignment principles that build a foundation for the holistic benefits of yoga. This class will help you reduce anxiety, find a place of peace, and increase mobility in the hips, spine and shoulders. The first part of yoga is simply showing up as your authentic self, everything else is just practice.

HIIT ME UP!

HIIT Me Up is a full body workout. The class is a rigorous interval training sequence with high intensity exercises. It builds cardiovascular fitness while improving muscle strength and endurance. The class combines resistance training with plyometric moves to improve your strength and power.

SPIN MASH-UP

BOOTY BAND WORKOUT

This class focuses on the lower half of your body and it is designed to help you build lean muscle mass, as well as “toning” your thighs and derrière! Each week we focus on workouts that will challenge you and hit all the muscles of your lower half in all planes of motion. Not only will your aesthetics improve, so will your overall strength and endurance! We strive for progress, not perfection. If you’re a beginner and need to do less rounds and less repetitions, it is okay. Keep it up and you will only get better week by week!
