Dori Carpenter

I began teaching fitness classes at Providence College in 2006. In 2009, I graduated with a degree in Spanish and Secondary Education and have been a Spanish teacher since then. My true passion, however, is exercise. In the 7 years since I first started teaching group fitness classes, I have become certified in cardio kickboxing, Spinning, barre, TRX, and personal training. I currently teach and train at Luxe Fitness Clubs in Wakefield, RI and Westerly, RI and BarreCoast barre and yoga studio in Westerly, RI. In addition, I am available to train at my clients' homes, my home, and outdoors.

I enjoy many aspects of both one-on-one training and group classes. A main aspect of my programs is the importance of varying exercise routines. As a professional, I take classes offered by other instructors, including yoga and Pilates, in addition to running, swimming, paddle boarding and biking on my own time so that I have a varied background to teach well-rounded classes. I take continuing education courses and read fitness journals and magazines to continue my learning and stay abreast of current trends in exercise. I also strive to stay familiar with up-and-coming class styles and equipment.

Everyone deserves to feel the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of regular exercise, but not everyone has the knowledge or motivation to begin. It is for that reason that I strive to bring a love of exercise to others. Now is your chance to get started! Let me motivate you and train you to be your best!
