What’s your class really like: Motivating, Inspiring, and Challenging! My goal is to help you bring out the best version of YOURSELF. Remember these 3 rules each and every time. 1. What is fueling you to drive forward? 2. Hydration is key, have your water nearby. 3. Get in YOUR ZONE.

What’s your music vibe: Predominantly Hip-Hop & R&B. There may be an occasional twist of Afrobeats and some old school anthems.

Favorite part about class: The feel good accomplishment of knowing I helped bring you that much closer towards your goal(s)

Life beyond BYKlyn: I'm a Hip-Hop Performer, Artist, Producer and Strength Coach. I also love to travel to exotic and adventurous places and countries. Everyday I'm on a constant mission to out work and improve the "Man in the Mirror"....my biggest competition.

Anything else you want us to know: 15+ years of Fitness & Wellness has literally saved my life from being a 13 yr old overweight teen. (326lbs). Nothing is impossible!!

Why BYKlyn? Since starting at Byklyn, I've developed very close relationships with many students who've become regulars and close friends. Teaching here doesn't feel like work.

What’s your class really like: Tough but fun. All fitness levels welcomed and challenged. I try to keep the workouts akin to when we were kids on the playground having fun, when physical activity didn't seem like exercise.

What’s your music vibe: Lively and upbeat (spell P-A-R-T-Y). Expect anything, especially reggae and soca but other genres aren't out of the question. Rides are mostly rhythm-based.

Life beyond the BYKlyn: I love being near the water (hence my current locale of the Rockaways). Preferred vacation of choice includes sailing the high seas. I also love taking my workouts outdoors.

Anything else you want us to know: I’m currently in a love/hate relationship with mud/obstacle races--Spartan races in particular.

What’s your class really like: Encouraging, challenging,

What’s your music vibe: Every genre! For class - top 40s.

Favorite part about class: Seeing members encourage each other and challenge themselves!

Anything else you want us to know: I want to see all your pets all the time, please show me them!

If your goal is to improve your strength, power and athleticism, then this is your class. Expect a variety of exercises focusing on upper body, core and lower body– always fun with great music. If you take my class often (and I hope you do) you’ll see new movements with equipment like kettlebells, sandbags, resistance bands and TRX. Each class will begin with a dynamic warm up, stretching your body to be ready to move. We will end with our cool down to focus on more static stretching and recovery.
