Revel Fitness Instructors
SANDY
Hi. I'm Sandy. I’ve been a group fitness instructor for over 10 years, beginning my journey with Zumba and eventually expanding into SHiNE Dance Fitness, POUND, POUND Unplugged, and UPLIFT. Teaching has been such a natural extension of my lifelong love for dance—it's truly in my blood. Revel has been my fitness home for the past 13 years, and it’s where I’ve grown not just as an instructor but as part of a community that celebrates movement, music, and connection.
My teaching style blends clear verbal and visual cues to help participants learn new moves with ease. As the song builds, I like to layer in a little extra flair—small changes that elevate the energy and allow everyone to express themselves more freely. By the end of the song, the goal is always the same: to leave every person feeling accomplished and confident. The most rewarding part of what I do is watching that transformation happen—seeing people step into their strength and joy right before my eyes.

ALICIA
I first discovered dance fitness in 2009 when I attended a Zumba class with a friend. I was immediately hooked and earned my teaching license in 2010. Over the years, I've expanded my certifications to include Zumba Kids (formerly Zumbatomic), Aqua Zumba, Werq Dance Fitness, and a group fitness certification from AFAA. I've had the privilege of leading classes across Indianapolis, Greenwood, and Carmel, at various venues such as gyms, staff retreats, neighborhood clubhouses, summer camps, Boys and Girls Clubs, charity events, and more.
Outside of teaching and participating in classes, I enjoy baking, reading, and exploring local restaurants. I'm always looking for an excuse to be outdoors.
I began teaching at Revel Fitness as a substitute in the summer of 2021 and have been a part of the team ever since. What I love most about teaching is the students and the sense of community that develops among dancers. There's something magical about coming together and letting the music take over.
At Revel Fitness, we offer a variety of class formats and instructors, creating a dynamic and inclusive environment for all participants. Whether you're new to dance fitness or a seasoned enthusiast, we'd love to see you in class, dancing and having fun!
MELISSA
Hi, I’m Melissa. I teach Pound Fitness and Uplift strength. I have been with Revel Fitness since 2023. My teaching style incorporates fun, class connection, lots of energy, and music for all types of fans. I want my participants to be able to get away from life stress, let loose, and be present for themself. My classes focus on proper fitness form and movement, while having fun and forgetting how hard you’re actually working! When I’m not teaching, I enjoy taking other fitness classes, riding bicycles, reading for self-improvement, and listening to podcasts. Come see what Revel Fitness has to offer! I know you’ll find at least one class to love, if not all!! Melissa
KELSEY
Hi, I'm Kelsey! I've taught my Dance Fusion class at Revel since June 2023. I've always had a passion for dancing, so I enjoy getting to share that with other people. I've been dancing since I was in preschool, and have taught different varieties of classes in the past. My class is upbeat, and has music from top artists like Pitbull, Jason Derullo, Lady Gaga, and even Bon Jovi! My main priority in teaching my class is that everyone feels included and is having fun while getting in a good workout. We will do a lot of dancing while also incorporating some specific movements like squats, lunges, and arm focused moves. You will work up a sweat before you know it, all while having fun!
In my freetime, I enjoy reading and spending time outside; I have 2 dogs that love to go for walks. I also really enjoy doing DIY projects around the house and yard.
I would love for you to join my class, don't be shy about trying it out; I would love to meet you!
KAREN
Hi, I’m Karen! I’m certified in SHiNE Dance Fitness—a fun, high-energy workout rooted in Jazz, Ballet, and Hip Hop. I fell in love with SHiNE after my friend Sandy introduced me to it, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I’m currently working on my certification in UPLIFT, SHiNE’s strength training program. I never used to enjoy lifting weights or doing crunches, but doing it to iconic music completely changed the game for me. Now I take UPLIFT three times a week!
I’ve been part of the Revel community since 2019 and absolutely love it here—the people, the instructors, and the energy are unmatched. I occasionally sub SHiNE classes and, while I’m still getting used to being on stage, I teach because I want to share my passion for SHiNE and give back to this amazing community.
Outside the studio, you’ll often find me playing pickleball, cooking, baking, trying new restaurants, watching movies, or hanging out with friends and family. I’m always up for trying something new!
If you’re new to Revel, I know it can feel intimidating—but this is one of the most welcoming places you’ll find. Your first class is free, so give it a shot. Every instructor brings something unique, and there’s a class for everyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.
