Please welcome Jamie to our team!  You can find them teaching Bodypump and popping up for Commit Dance!  

Jamie (they/them) is a former wildlife biologist turned data professional coming to Athena to teach Bodypump! Originally from Kansas, they were not “athletic” in their childhood — they found the gym in their late 20s & quickly fell in love with group exercise, or rather, with the relationships it inspires. They are excited to share their energy with Athena!

They are passionate about trans rights & building community through group fitness!

They are wildly happy traveling, gardening, foraging, or chasing bears.

They feel most confident in queer community. Or passaging stem cells. Or interpreting animal behavior. 

They are terrified of becoming physically unable to do their favorite gym activities. 

They never grow old of dancing! They will dance until they drop!

They are inspired by their group exercise students. You all keep me going!
