  • Emily Russell

    Hello Hendersonville! I am so thrilled to be joining the amazing community at Hendersonville Barre and Fitness. I’ve been a lover of fitness for most of my life but really fell in love with barre during the pandemic when I started an online barre program in my basement. I loved that Barre worked my body in ways I had never truly worked before and left me feeling strong, lengthened, toned…and on fire! Needless to say, I was hooked. I love the burn that barre brings and the challenge it creates for every single muscle in the body, and I hope to teach in a way that inspires individuals to embrace that challenge in every class. I am so excited to join such an inspiring group of individuals on this journey at Hendersonville Barre and Fitness.

    I’m a native of Hendersonville and moved back here with my husband and our first daughter in 2017. We’ve since had 2 more daughters and are embracing the joy, love and sometimes craziness that 3 little girls bring. I love spending time with my family, going on runs and walks outdoors, trying new recipes, and cheering on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Tenneessee Vols, and Buffalo Bills!

  • Franciene Moros

    Hi, I'm Franciene, a native of Buffalo NY, a wife to my loving husband of 34 years, mother of 2 grown boys, a Grammie to 3 beautiful grandchildren with 1 on the way, and a lover of all things Barre. I started taking barre classes in 2016 while living in Naples Fl. With challenging moves, upbeat music, and a living community, I was instantly addicted! Barre has been my constant form of exercise. I have done so many different types of exercises, but barre has changed my body, strength, and mindset like no other. Every class that I take, I get to shut my brain off and focus on me and my mind-body connection. With every class, my body becomes stronger and stronger. I decided to take my passion and begin teaching so that others can experience the empowerment Barre has given me. Everyone deserves an hour to themselves, and I can't wait to grow stronger with all of you in this incredible, encouraging community! See you at the barre.
