I'm a mother to five kids. I fell in love with fitness because I enjoyed how I felt after a workout. I started with running then got into strength training. I love it all! People would ask me "What are you training for? My response always is, "I'm training for the 83 year old me!" I really want to keep going even at 83 years so I'm training my body for that now.

 

I've been a fitness instructor since 2013 and a personal trainer since 2018. I love fitness but most of all I love watching people do things they never thought they could! I have a passion for helping people and enjoy watching them succeed!​

  • Red Cross CPR/AED Certified

I’ve been with Functional Fitness since February of 2021 and have been on quite the fitness journey there! I’ve shed 100 lbs. & I feel the best I ever have! I started dancing at the age of 8 in a classical ballet studio and had the opportunity to train with the Milwaukee Ballet. I took a break from dancing to start our family and got back into it through WERQ. I enjoy learning new platforms for movement and dance and am excited to continue to learn and grow within the fitness community.

Peg

  • INSTRUCTOR:​ Jazzercize®, WERQ®, Body Sculpting

I've worked in the fitness industry since 1995, primarily teaching Jazzercise. I've recently become WERQ certified and also have experience as an ACE certified personal trainer, working with small groups. After I turned 50, I taught myself how to swim and trained and competed in Sprint Triathlons...just for fun!

 

My decision, as a mother of three young children, to lose the "baby weight" led me to Jazzercise and was life changing. From teaching classes in church basements and rec centers to opening three fitness studios, my journey in the fitness industry has been extremely rewarding. Teaching classes and motivating others to be their best is still what I love to do! I feel blessed to be a part of the Functional Fitness family.

​I have three children, ages 3, 5 and 12. I've been a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor since 2017.  For me, fitness is the perfect outlet for stress relief as a busy parent and to live an active lifestyle.

 

I became involved in fitness back in college when I received a gym membership as a Christmas present from my Mom and I was hooked!

 

Although strength training is my FAVORITE, I have worked with an array of client goals, from weight loss and sports conditioning to geriatric fitness. I want fitness to be second nature and most importantly, fun!

Amy

  • INSTRUCTOR: Functional Kettlebells, Basic Step & Balance, Step + Squat, Ageless Athletes, Yin Yoga Reset, Unwind Yoga, 

  • NASM / AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor

  • Living.Fit Kettlebell Fundamentals Specialist

  • Certified Restorative Yoga Instructor

  • Certified Yin Yoga Instructor

I have a passion for movement and coaching. Severe repetitive motion injuries nearly put me out of commission. With the guidance and support of a self-paced rehabilitative program that focused on breaking down movement patterns and strengthening healthier postures, I was able to flip the script on my prognosis! Completing that program would be the seed to not only releasing myself from physical limitations, but also to beginning my fitness journey and sharing my passion for movement and helping others achieve their goals.​ I truly believe that movement is medicine!

HI. I’m Dori.

I’m a MOM of three, in love with Fitness and I am a BUTISATTVA! I’ve always incorporated active ways to live throughout my life, since I was a teenager — all forms of fitness. Although I wear many hats, I follow my true passions of art and fitness and health. I’ve professionally carved Pumpkins for nearly 30 years; that, too, has kept me in good form.😉 Mostly, I’ve been into weight training, CrossFit, Pilates, circuit training, group fitness classes and I love to dance.

​

My youngest daughter is going to be entering college and I feel grateful to commit more time and feel good energies with the community and all that would like to experience BUTI, and more. I teach a variety of BUTI formats with a wide range of times to offer classes for your needs. I started practicing Yoga over 25 years ago, and I never thought it would be for me because it’s so hard for me to ‘chill out’ and slow down to enjoy what Yoga has to offer...

 

Until NOW! I've reached and earned "Level 50" here in 2025. Back in 2020, I was introduced to something that locked me in from my first experience. It dynamically changed my life and is what I’m bringing to you now: BUTI MOVEMENT (formally Buti Yoga)!

 

Along with BUTI MOVEMENT, I teach proper breathing techniques, forms and a variety of ways to heal your body from the inside out, within your fascia and on a cellular level. Check out my Buti Q and A Workshop. Please reach out with any questions and curiosities.

​

BUTI MOVEMENT: fuses dynamic Yoga Asana with plyometrics, HIIT, cardio-intensive Tribal dance with bursts & Deep core conditioning + body sculpting movement. The Spiral structure Technique (created by Celebrity Trainer Bizzie Gold)  is used to Activate our deep core muscles paired with Intentional Static Shaking and Vibration to release Trauma stored at the Cellular Level.

The word 'BUTI' is an ancient Marathi (Mar Ah Tee) word meaning "the cure to something hidden or undiscovered," implying that this practice peels back the layers you wear each day and helps you get back to your True Essence. The Tribal music guides BUTI class with beat-blended movement, forcing you out of your head and INTO YOUR BODY. We believe that the only true cure to heal and transform yourself comes from within. It is in THIS magical place that you integrate your human experience instead of escaping it.

Light a Fire within- and let's get to work. Get into a class now and experience it for yourself!
