As a certified personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and health coach, Kendall brings a holistic approach to dancers' wellbeing and training.

Kendall has completed several classes in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, motor control and learning, psychology, nutrition, and exercise physiology. She has also experience conducting dance science research related to self-efficacy and perfectionism in online dance classes, which is why this online course is entirely designed according to textbook principles and current dance science research.

Do I need access to a gym for these plans?Nope! All training plans can be completed entirely at home. However, you do need some equipment. The required equipment for both programs includes resistance bands, yoga blocks (or books/stools), a chair, and space to move. Optional equipment includes dumbbells and kettlebells.

My schedule changes every week. What if I can't do the workouts?That's okay! After you complete a workout, you'll get access to the next workout. Once you log a workout, you will have access to it for as long as you stay in the training plan. You can always go back and repeat a workout or keep it for future reference.
