Hi Barre Envy friends! I’m Ashley, a.k.a New Ashley, and I’m so excited to be your new barre instructor. I grew up a competitive dancer but had to take a step back after a big injury in college. I discovered barre and fell in love with the fact that I get to incorporate dance technique with workouts that make me feel good from the inside out!
Outside of the studio you can find me at the beach, traveling, or teaching. I’m an English/ESOL teacher and have worked all over the world from China to Italy! So far, I’ve been to 18 countries and counting. Now, I work at a private school in Boca! I can’t wait to learn about all of you and be with you every step of the way in your barre journey! (I’ve been trained by the best and am honored to be the “New Ashley”) see you soon!! ✨🌸

Instructor

Hi I’m Brittany! I’m a proud Delray Beach native-born and raised in this sunny little beach town I still call home. You can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, outside soaking up the Florida sunshine, or walking my two amazing pups, Xena & Roxie (they’re my whole world!).

My husband and I have been together since 2016, we love spending our weekends at the local green markets, relaxing out on the water in our boat, and traveling the world.

I’ve been passionate about fitness for years and am excited to take on this new role of teaching Barre. My goal is to create a space where people feel strong, supported, and uplifted. One of my favorite pieces of advice came from my Dad, who always said, “To make yourself feel better, help make someone else feel better.” I carry that with me into every class and look forward to inspiring others in the same way!

Instructor

Hi, I’m Kayla! and I’m so glad you’re here. With a background in mental health, I’ve always been passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported. When I discovered barre, it was more than just a workout—It was the first movement practice that truly helped me get out of my head and into my body, reconnecting me with my femininity, confidence, and joy.

In my classes, we don’t just sculpt muscles (though you’ll definitely feel the burn!)—we also shake off stress, move with intention, and have fun doing it. Think of it as your feel-good hour to let go, tune in, and reconnect with yourself.

Whether you’re here to sweat, stretch, or just escape your to-do list for a bit, you’re always welcome in my class—just bring yourself (and maybe a water bottle).

Let’s move, groove, and glow together!
