Crispin has been actively involved in the dance and fitness industry for over 30 years. He performed with the Toronto Dance Theatre, one of the major dance companies in Canada until 1992, appearing in performances all across Canada and Europe. After retiring from the company, Crispin gained popularity in the fitness industry, teaching aerobic classes at Toronto’s hottest aerobics studio, Body Alive. His accomplishments were recognized in 1994, with a Silver Medal in the Canadian National Aerobic Competition.

In 1992, Crispin became involved with Pilates. He continued his fitness journey, earning his certification with STOTT Pilates as an instructor and personal trainer. He is featured in many STOTT videos. Crispin earned a city-wide reputation for being a trainer who would be honest yet positive. His attention to form and knowledge of the body have earned him many long-time, loyal clients.

During her post-partum recovery, she fell in love with GYROTONIC^® exercise and became a certified instructor in 2004. She deeply connects to the GYROTONIC^® method’s highly evolved support of the body’s natural and healthy way of moving.

Leni’s clients range from those recovering from injury & strokes, athletes in high-level performance training, as well as those who want to improve their overall health. She has seen how powerful this method can be in healing as well as in taking one’s athletic performance to the next level.

Leni is dedicated to helping others work towards their wellness goals and awakening them to new possibilities of movement in their bodies, and in their lives.

Leni is also a Certified Professional Life Coach (ICF member) and a 500hr yoga instructor.

Splitting her time between teaching GYROTONIC^®exercise, dancing, and choreographing is an ideal combination allowing Angela to pursue her passion for both dancing and teaching. Angela is a certified GYROTONIC^® level 1, 2 and specialized equipment instructor and holds a BA in dance and a MFA in choreography.

Nancy danced the Sugar Plum Fairy and Maria in The Nutcracker and the title role in Birgit Cullberg’s Miss Julie, among many others. Ms. Greyeyes holds a Master of Fine Arts in Choreography from York University, Society of Russian Ballet Associate Teacher Certification and is an Artistic Associate with Signal Theatre. Nancy is a certified GYROTONIC^® instructor and with years of physical practice and experience with injury and rehabilitation she brings a rich understanding of the human body and movement. Ms. Greyeyes is excited to share her knowledge and passion for GYROTONIC^® exercise to her clients.

With an emphasis on the unique body mechanics that dictate the individuals personal capability for kinetic expression, Kent will assess and ultimately challenge the limitations towards a balanced and sustainable physical experience.

Twenty five years later, following a university degree in Media Arts studies and a career in television and documentary editing, Sue transitioned out of the edit suite and back to the studio. It was during this first GYROKINESIS^® class that Sue felt as though she was dancing again.

This profound experience thus initiated her GYROTONIC^® teacher training with Crispin Redhead in 2012 and is now a certified GYROTONIC^® and GYROKINESIS^® trainer.

To enhance her teaching practice, Sue is currently in her second and final year of Massage Therapy studies and additionally attends weekly Axis Syllabus movement classes, an intensive study in all aspects of movement.

Sue’s approach to teaching is for her clients to reignite their own joy and pleasure of movement in their bodies in a way they may not have felt before. Her message is to embrace self acceptance, self awareness, empowerment and subsequent growth of one’s own healing experiences thru a shift in new ways of moving. Following a session with Sue, one will feel stronger, more graceful and energized.
