Education: Undergraduate at Loyola University Maryland 2020
Fitness Class: Cardio Kickboxing
Favorite Song: Delicate (Seeb Remix)- Taylor Swift & Seeb
Personal Bio: I have been teaching group exercise for over a year now. Certification is never easy, but the hard work showed me how much I love group exercise. My favorite part about teaching is that everyone is able to come to class, let out all their stress and have a good time. When it comes to fitness I love to look for things that challenge me; I think it is important to always be prepared for a challenge. I hope to continue teaching for a long time and have people fall in love with fitness just like I did!

Chloe O'Hara
Education: Undergraduate at Loyola University Maryland 2021
Fitness class: Bootcamp
Favorite workout song: Greenlight -D'mixmasters
Personal Bio: Throughout my high school years, one of my goals was to join ROTC and pass the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) during freshman year of college. Last year I was able to successfully reach that goal, and I attribute my success to the group exercise classes that I have faithfully participated in for years. I have been motivated and challenged by so many outstanding instructors, and now it is my time to give back. I have designed safe and effective classes that will help participants fuel cardio fitness, build muscle, and leave feeling empowered to reach their own personal health and fitness goals. As a certified instructor at the FAC, I am committed and beyond excited to inspire and lead others to work out with a purpose.

Kaileigh Jolliffe
Education: Undergraduate and Graduate degree from Loyola University Maryland
Fitness Class: Power Yoga
Favorite Workout Song: Fight Song by Rachel Platten
Personal Bio: As a fitness enthusiast, I began practicing Yoga for the physical benefits to enhance my flexibility, strength, and balance. However, through consistent practice, I began to experience the mental benefits which caused me to fall in love with it. This drove me to pursue my Yoga teaching certification. I completed my 200-hour RYT training through a month long intensive course in Bali, Indonesia. I love teaching Yoga to college students because it helps them achieve a more balanced lifestyle. I draw from my passion for fitness by providing a physically challenging, yet mentally rejuvenating experience to my students.

Favorite Workout Song: Mi Gente - J Balvin, Willy William
Personal Bio: During my undergrad I was an avid participant in group fitness. So when I decided on Loyola for graduate school, I was excited to attend classes again, but facing the other way as an instructor. I wanted to maintain my love of fitness while helping others build and maintain their own. To me, exercise is an important part of mental health, which is what I have dedicated my life to promote! I hope you come join me bright and early for Lift!
