MEET THE SQUAD
V
When V found group fitness, it hit her like a truck that THIS is what she was always meant to be doing! She spent the majority of her childhood dancing so her love for movement and music ran deep. When she realized that exercise could feel that same way, her life was changed. V has spent over a decade teaching and falling in love with different modalities of fitness such as Barre, Pilates, Boxing, and Indoor Cycling along with earning her NASM-CPT. When V had the idea to create Bodied, it was about a new and unique workout yes - but also about the way she wanted to make people feel. It’s about empowering people, leveling up, doing the work, evolving into who you are, and letting people truly see you. V is and always will be your biggest cheerleader, supporter, and hype girl. Show up however you need to and V will make sure you SHOW OUT!

JESS
Jess has been teaching fitness since 2015 and believes that working out is her hobby, passion, therapy, and religion. She took her first fitness class in 2014 and was blown away. It was the first time she realized you could enjoy working out so much that you were excited to leave class just to book your next class! It truly was euphoric. She knew almost immediately that she wanted to teach. Jess wanted to help people feel strong and proud, inside and out. With a background in Barre and Pilates, Jess has a deep understanding of the body and knows what to do with it. Jess met V when she first moved to Denver and they instantly connected in the fitness scene. When V asked Jess to join Bodied, she felt like it was a dream come true! It is important to surround yourself with people who inspire you and that is why she is beyond excited to be a part of this community and help create the magic!

She has always loved movement and tapped into the group fitness world not long after moving to Denver in 2010. Ali transitioned to an instructor role in 2017 and is formally trained and certified in Barre and Lagree, in addition to holding a NASM Group Fitness certification. Her classes are vibey, rhythmic, and challenging--but grounding and full of love! Outside of fitness, she works full-time as a clinical child psychologist and is passionate about incorporating mind-body connections into her classes. Ali believes moving together is an experience of full awareness and gratitude--come PLAY!

JULIE
Julie embarked on her fitness journey at the age of 17, following ten years of highly competitive hunter-jumper horseback riding. Seeking something new, she explored various studios throughout her hometown of Austin, Texas. It was during this search that Julie discovered her passion for group fitness, setting the stage for the journey ahead. Over time, she worked in a range of roles within different fitness studios, including positions at the front desk, social media, and marketing, and eventually became an instructor. In 2022, Julie crossed paths with V at SoulCycle, and their connection was immediate. After graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Julie pursued a career in marketing and brand management, but by early 2023, she decided to take a leap of faith and make a change. Following several months of contemplation about her next move, V approached Julie with the opportunity to become the studio manager for Bodied. Without hesitation, Julie accepted the offer, and she hasn't looked back since.
