Hi, I’m Brionnica Gomez, but you can call me Bri. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, I moved to LA to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM), where I earned my degree in Beauty Merchandising and Product Development. After facing some career challenges, I discovered the Lagree Method and instantly fell in love with it, leading me to get certified. I moved back to Texas to be closer to my family and continue sharing my passion for Lagree. I’ve always enjoyed being active and moving my body. I’ve tried all sorts of workouts like cycling, pilates, yoga, and bunda. However, Lagree is my absolute favorite. It’s easy on the joints but still super intense. I’m all about challenging my clients with great workouts and bringing positive energy to each class. My goal is to help everyone push their limits and grow stronger both physically and mentally.
