AKT - SouthPark

04/23/2024

As many of you already know, we ran our last AKT class on March 31st. Many of you also know by now that AKT is rebranding to KINRGY, a unique fitness program developed by Emmy Award winning dancer Julianne Hough in 2020 that is designed to increase mental clarity, physical strength, emotional wellness and energetic health!

We know that so many of you are anxiously looking forward to KINRGY officially opening in Charlotte! As you await the reopening of the studio, we encourage you to check out to learn more about her signature workout, which is a unique blend of dance cardio, yoga, pilates, mindful movement, breathwork, and healing sound therapy with a focus on the mind-body connection. All questions regarding the method, classes, founding memberships, studio reopening timeline, etc. can be directed to our corporate team at [email protected].

We look forward to dancing with you again very soon,

💜 The AKT SouthPark Team

is originally from Athens, GA (GO DAWGS) and has lived in Charlotte for almost two years. She grew up dancing and playing volleyball, but didn’t get into teaching group fitness classes until her senior year of college. During the COVID lockdown, Leah found a new love for at home fitness, watching and following along to various fitness influencers on YouTube. Her favorite being . This is ultimately where she developed a passion for fitness. She decided to become a group fitness instructor to share her passion with others, and to teach others how much fun exercise can be. Her senior year of college she taught dance cardio and HIIT classes at her school’s Wellness and Recreation Center. After she graduated college, she was offered a full time corporate job as a data analyst in Charlotte, but she still wanted to continue teaching group fitness classes. This is how she found AKT! When Leah is not at her full time job or at AKT, she is probably exploring the city with her boyfriend (Brendan) and their two dogs (Eloise and Marshall)! You can join Leah under the mirror ball on Monday and Wednesday evenings, along with Saturday mornings!

Believe it or not, is a native Charlottean. She has lived in Charlotte for over 50 years 😜

Angela loves AKT for several reasons. For someone that has always incorporated fitness throughout her life in some capacity and has tried almost everything, she was drawn to AKT for the variety & unique class offerings. How great is it when you can take a class that combines cardio, strength training, resistance, and it’s fun? I mean…Bands class, hello?!? All of the Trainers are fitness enthusiasts & your biggest supporters. She adores all of them! She leaves each class at AKT happier, accomplished, and stronger!

When she's not in class, you’ll catch her with her two teenage daughters, Julianna & Gabby, traveling to competitions/tournaments and chasing their busy social schedules. Downtime is hanging out with her husband, Chris. They love trying different restaurants and choose the beach any day. Her other two loves are her dogs, Bunchy, a Lab Shepard mix, and Frankie, a Blue Heeler.

Fun fact about Angela - she can speak, read, and write Greek fluently!

⭐️ Trainer Spotlight ⭐️

AKTrainer moved to America in January 2019 with her family from South Africa. She started training in ballet when she was 6 years old and absolutely fell in love with it! All she wanted to be was a ballerina! She trained in the Royal Academy of Dance method and performed with the Johannesburg Youth Ballet company at the age of 18 but decided to step back due to a foot injury. She decided to pursue a more traditional career path and graduated from the University of Pretoria, majoring in Genetics, after which she worked as a DNA Forensic analyst for the South African Police service’s Biology Unit for 10 years.

After she and her family emigrated to the US, she focused on raising her daughter and in 2022 obtained her group fitness certification through AFAA.

Eloise wanted to share the joy, mental and physical health benefits that fitness brought to her life with as many people as possible and AKT has been such a blessing because it gave her the opportunity to reignite and share her passion for dance all while combining it with the benefits of strength training.
