Janine’s passion for fitness began as a ballet student at Boston Ballet. As part of her training she was introduced to pilates and became certified as a mat instructor through Power Pilates. She began her teaching career in Florida while dancing for the Sarasota Ballet Company. After retiring from ballet, she attended Northeastern University where she completed a Bachelors degree in Health Science and a Masters degree in Physician Assistant studies. She was trained in group fitness at Northeastern University’s Marino Center and went on to become graduate assistant of the group fitness program while pursuing her Masters. Her yoga practice developed in part to help manage stress and stay mindful, becoming Hatha yoga certified in 2007 through the Shambhavananda School where she returned in 2009 as guest staff. Currently she works part-time at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as a physician assistant in primary care. As a trainer, she uses her background in medicine, yoga, pilates and dance to create an individualized program to help with flexibility, mobility and strength while taking any health problems into account. She has been teaching at Fitness Unlimited for over 15 years and currently you can find her teaching LIIT on Mondays at 9:45 and Tuesday Yoga at 5:45 am.
