Pulse + Cass

Hey, I’m Cassidy!

Some people call me Cass. I’m a high energy, cat loving, techno bumping, fitness instructing, hype woman!

As a dancer my entire life, my passion for movement started early on. Once my dance career ended, I found a barre class and it was love at first pulse. 7 months later, I became barre certified and never looked back. It is my greatest joy to bring you this space and lead you through empowering movement that makes you feel alive. My goal is for everyone I work with to find that same joy & love and some type of movement that ignites their spirit.

PULSE has been a dream of mine for a few years now and I’m ecstatic to bring the first Boutique Barre + Fitness studio to the Northland. I fell in love with group fitness back in 2018 and have never looked back. I love how it’s approachable for all, a great stepping stone into fitness, accountability for so many individuals, and the COMMUNITY. The community is IT.

My husband, Grant, and I moved to Duluth June of 2023 from South Minneapolis. I was teaching like a mad woman down there at multiple different studios/franchises/big box gyms. I always knew I wanted my own studio, but I knew I didn’t want to begin the journey in Minneapolis. We always had a goal to move up north and one day after a camping trip in Ely on the drive home through Duluth, I looked at Grant and said, “Do you want to move to Duluth?” He never replied “Yes!” faster.

We are so happy to be here and to put down roots in this phenomenal city. We can’t wait to meet you!

What even is Barre?

Barre is a rhythmic, beat-based dynamic class that targets your small, stabilizing muscle groups. This full body, low impact class packs a punch with lots of pulsing, isometric holds, repetitions, and slower movements. You’ll find a big emphasis on posture, core, and glutes in barre. No dance experience is required at all! All levels are welcome, as options are always offered up to make this class accessible for you.
