Christine is in the House!

Our newest equipe member comes from over 3000 miles away, but her story begins from an even greater distance.  Christine

​Lam grew up in Boston, Massachusetts. The daughter of Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants, Christine comes from an extensive east coast family.  When it was time to go to college, Christine didn’t want to venture too far from her family so she went to UMass, Amherst and studied business operations and information management.

Upon graduation she began to grow more into herself and launched her career.  “I somehow stumbled on human resources,” Christine said with a chuckle. But soon she wanted more personal and professional growth. That desire took her out to Northern California, as she wanted to see what the Golden State had to offer.

Her arrival meant a world of new experiences, something Christine wholeheartedly embraced and continues to do so. She was able to cultivate her curiosity about the fitness world by taking a multitude of fitness courses and became passionate about pilates, barre, and yoga. 

The genesis of becoming a Pilates instructor was simple, “It all began because I love learning about myself and my body.  Also figuring out how that translates into helping others engage with their body to get a better workout. ”

Even though she has only recently begun teaching she is taking it very seriously and has become a natural leader. As a HIIT Pilates teacher, her job is to encourage and push her students and allow each person to decide what level they desire to strive towards.

Working with novice students and experts alike, she modifies her workouts in layers so that members can “challenge and engage at their comfort level.”

When not in studio at 1445 The Alameda, “I love travelling, visiting beaches, arts and crafts, knitting, sketching… I have always been interested in the arts.  I am interested in trying a lot of different things!” Christine beams.

We are delighted that Christine is bringing her bright energy, creativity and zest for life to labarre studios-- help us in welcoming Christine Lam to the equipe!
