About Re||Bär Fitness Studio
Hey! We're Mike & Bea, the proud owners of Re||Bär. Fitness is our passion, and when you truly love what you do, you want to share that enthusiasm with others. The name Re||Bär is a creative twist on the word "Barre," infused with rustic charm.
Hi, I'm Bea!
My fitness journey began while earning my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Michigan. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to teach a variety of fitness styles, including Aerobic Kickboxing, Step Aerobics, Kangoo Jumps, Sculpting, Barre, Pilates, and Bootcamps — catering to everyone from body challenge participants to busy moms with their babies. Fitness is my passion, and motivating others while holding them accountable is a natural gift I love sharing!
Hi, I'm Katie!
I am a South Chicago native, proud mom to a Dow High senior, and BeAlive Inc team member here in Midland, MI. Having graduated from Ferris State University, I hold cherished memories, especially meeting my husband. I recently launched a podcast called Listen, Here’s the Thing, where I co-host alongside a close friend.
Hi, I'm Kelly!
I'm originally from St. Johns, MI, and currently work at Marriott HQ. I earned my undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University and my MBA from Walsh College.
I'm passionate about yoga and fitness, enjoying a good, sweaty Vinyasa class. As a certified Paddlefit instructor, I love combining fitness with my love for stand-up paddleboarding. In April 2024, I completed my 200-hour RYT certification and am continuing my yoga journey by exploring Katonah Yoga.
I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where all levels are encouraged to grow.
Hi, I'm Sam!
Born and raised in Midland, MI, I’m am married to my husband of 3 years and we have an amazing black lab, Nala. I’m part of an amazing team at Puzzle Healthcare and work as a Practice Manager. I love spending time outdoors, exploring new foods, and connecting with others through movement. My favorite thing to teach is lower body — our legs are our foundation, and I love helping people feel strong and grounded.
Hi, I'm Heather!
Born in Oklahoma and raised in Michigan, I've been married to my husband, Josh, for 12 years, and together we're raising three amazing kids.
A proud graduate of Saginaw Valley State University, I earned my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2015 and now works as an occupational therapist in the school setting.
When I'm not helping students thrive, you’ll find me tackling home renovation projects with Josh—we even flipped our first family home!
My favorite class to teach? Booty Work! It’s where my fitness journey truly began. What started with me feeling shy and hiding in the back row turned into a full-blown passion for leading others. Booty Work is a high-energy, cardio-focused class packed with bodyweight moves like squats and lunges—the perfect way to shake off stress, build strength, and have fun while doing it.
