My name is Sydneigh but my friends call me Syd. I am from good old New Orleans Louisana. Right after I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from LSU (Geaux Tigers) in 2021 I moved to Texas. I grew up doing competitive cheerleading, so fitness has always been a big part of my life. My Lagree journey started on a first date and while that didn’t last, Lagree and I are still working out! My group fitness journey was inconsistent doing some cycling classes here and CrossFit there. But once I discovered the Lagree method, I was hooked! Within a year of taking my first class, I was signing up for my certification. I love the challenge that Lagree poses, not only physically but mentally, and the never-ending personal growth it facilitates. When I’m not shaking or sweating you can find me cuddled up with my cat or working on one of my many unfinished art projects.
