Carolyn
One of Carolyn’s favorite quotes is "You don't the a** you want by sitting on the one you've got!" If you want to insight change in any aspect of your life you have to get up and make it happen. Carolyn began her journey in the world of fitness over 20 years ago as a student in just about every group fitness class she could find that would challenge, motivate and initiate change in her body as well as my mind. Carolyn instantly became intrigued and hooked on trying every type of class until she found her love, her niche and what ultimately was the most results driven workout around.
The limitless possibilities, variations, efficiency and totality this workout brings to the table is truly the most unique and all encompassing workout available.
Carolyn is so thrilled to bring her enthusiasm and appreciation of this workout to ReDefined and to encourage you all to fall in love with fitness, your bodies and push yourselves beyond your comfort zone….because that is when change happens!
Naomi
Naomi grew up trying and playing so many sports. Coming from a family who instilled healthy living and fitness in their everyday meant that she developed a keen interest and love of the health and fitness industry from a young age. She often thought about how a career would look as personal trainer or even nutritionist but rather than pursue either, she studied journalism and went on to work in marketing, PR and sales.
Life has seen so many significant life changes for Naomi over the last few years. Marrying her husband Nick, having two young boys, Arlo and Levi, buying a petting zoo, moving from Australia to the USA, then to Paris for 12 months and then back to the USA. What was supposed to be a 6-12 month relocation has turned into an almost 6 year journey and she says she wouldn’t have it any other way.
One of the greatest positives to remaining in the USA has been her path to find reDefined and a brand new career. She first fell in love with the Lagree method during 2020 and it was then that a spark in her reignited. She knew she wanted to teach. And she’s loved every second of it since. She believes that this workout is so unique in its intensity and effectiveness. She loves that there’s so much you can do on the machines to achieve a full body workout while moving slowly and maintaining a low level of impact.
Naomi loves the beach, hiking, spending time with friends and with her family.
