Jess will be teaching with Raisa Hoffman at 10 am.
WHY I PMC: I am forever indebted to Dana Farber and the team behind the PMC efforts. My business, The Handle Bar has supported the PMC Winter Cycle (formerly The Resolution) and its cause since its inception in 2016. When my Dad was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2016, my involvement became more personal. When we made the decision to transfer my Dad's care from Connecticut to Boston's Dana Farber, Nicaela Chinnaswamy from the PMC personally connected me with our new doctor. (continued)

Everything that the PMC stands for and supports is rooted in love and hope. I couldn't be more excited to take the instructor podium once again, celebrate my Dad's life, and raise money and awareness for this important cause.
ABOUT: I founded and instruct at The Handle Bar! We have locations in South Boston, Fenway, Harvard Square, and most recently North Station!

ABOUT:I became a full-time fitness instructor in 2014. I am certified in spin, barre, Pilates, and more! From the start of my career, I have loved connecting with people inside of each studio I have taught at. In 2018, I decided I wanted to connect with people outside of my classes, as well. So, I started my own health coaching business in addition to instructing full-time. I am certified in an extremely simple, but extremely effective, nutrition program. Being able to help people rock their workout at Turnstyle, WHILE being able to help people rock their nutrition at home has been a DREAM. Oh, and running your own business is the best feeling ever!
FUN FACT:My family got our first dog when I was 24 years old. I immediately fell in love with Sir James (our crazy yellow lab), and he opened my eyes and my heart to all animals. I became a vegetarian the same year that I fell in love with animals, and my love just kept growing. When I was 29, I decided to go vegan. It's been one of the best decisions, if not THE best decision, I've ever made! Any fellow animal lovers or vegans out there?!
PS. I am getting married this winter, and we are looking to adopt a dog of our own!

Catyn will be teaching with Nancy Ruggeri at 12 pm.
WHY I PMC: The PMC is near and dear to my heart. My sister was diagnosed with APML in May of 2011 and my family's world was turned upside down. With the help of the wonderful doctors and nurses at Dana Farber and Brigham and Women's Hospital, in addition to the countless number of researchers, my sister was able to receive the best treatment in the world. She has been in remission for 8 years, and I am beyond proud to continue to tell her story, and to continue to fight for a cure for all of those still battling cancer.
