Where were you born?

What’s your biggest passion?  
My biggest passion is dance!
 
 
Tell me about your career. Have you changed directions? If so, why? 
My career is being a professional dancer and fitness trainer. In college, I always thought I’d be a strictly modern dancer and go on to dance in a small company. After graduating, I began to find a passion for musical theatre and commercial dance and decided to pursue that. Around the same time I began delving into fitness and really found a passion for teaching and helping others. This is where I began my journey as a fitness instructor!
 
What do you wish you knew when you were younger?
What I wish I knew when I was younger is that there’s no single easy journey in life. Things are going to get tough and you might get knocked off of your original “perfect” plan. I think when those things happen, not only does it make you stronger but it creates new paths and new oppurtunities you might have missed originally!
 
What’s your fitness fashion style?  
My fitness fashion style is definitely very simple! I love simple and functional clothes that don’t break the bank! Target is probably my favorite place to shop for fitness apparel. 
 
 
What’s the best piece of health/wellness/dance advice you’ve ever gotten?  
The best piece of health/wellness/dance advice I’ve ever gotten would probably be to always explore new ways of moving. This can apply to dance and fitness! I never like to get stuck in one genre for too long because then I’m not making myself as dynamic as possible. In fitness, I love to try new botique classes and different instructors! There’s so many options in NYC that you can never get bored.
 
What’s your guiltiest pleasure?  
My guiltiest pleasure is definitely binge watching reality tv shows! I’m obsessed with anything Real Housewives or Jersey Shore. Currently re-watching dance moms from the beginning LOL.
 
What quality do you really cherish about yourself?  
A quality I really cherish about myself is always wanting to help other people. I truly find joy in teaching and making sure peoples’ needs are being met. This is why teaching private trainings is perfect for me to ensure what I’m giving a client is tailor made to their wants and needs!

What’s something most people don’t know about you (that’s maybe a little funny or weird)?  
Something a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’m a born and raised vegetarian! 
 
Anything else about you that I missed?  
I’m just so grateful to be a part of the BoCo family!!!!!

Meet Demi Remick, one of our newest team members and fabulous tap dancer!

It’s been such a pleasure getting to know Demi since the very first time we met.  She is known as an incredible tap-dancer in NYC dance circles (which definitely impressed me!), but some of the most wonderful qualities about her from my perspective are her deep care for others, her conscientiousness and strong sense of responsibility, and her warmth and connection with others.  These are the qualities I seek in our trainers, and I feel so lucky to have her on the team.

While the COVID pandemic has made it difficult to meet our trainers in person, you have so many opportunities to see Demi online and train with her in virtual sessions.  Contact us to arrange sessions with her, and you will have such a fun experience! 

Read about Demi below to find out more about her background and her secret dream (which I have a feeling will come true!).  

Enjoy, and join me in welcoming Demi to the team!  ~Mahri
