Alayna Brandt is an elementary school teacher with a passion for helping others gain mental and physical strength through fitness. Originally from the Detroit area, she graduated from Concordia University Wisconsin and moved to Grand Rapids in 2016. As a lifelong athlete, she has always loved fitness and exercising. Thanks to a SweatNET event in May 2019, she decided to take a class at The Barre Code GR. Since then, she has loved becoming a part of the Barre Code community of positive, encouraging women who push each other to grow physically and mentally. She’s passionate about welcoming and encouraging people who are looking for affordable workouts and want to make new friends in the process. When she’s not taking class at The Barre Code or grading math tests, she’s baking, chugging caffeine or hunting for the perfect slice of chocolate cake.
