Hi, I’m Mary Virginia Kemp! Burnt out from hundreds of cardio/HIIT classes and years of half marathon trainings, I was on the hunt for a low impact workout that would still give me that sweaty-sore feeling I always craved after a workout. I took my first Lagree class at a studio in Birmingham, AL in the fall of 2017 and never looked back!

A year later I moved to Nashville to complete my graduate school training and in search of another Lagree studio to call my fitness home- insert Studio Novo! My years of training at Novo only deepened my love for the Lagree method. I love the slow pace and attention to detail that this workout offers— there is truly nothing like it!

Growing up, I taught dance at the studio in my hometown and now I am an Early Intervention speech therapist in the Williamson County School district— so you could say my love for teaching has spanned across many different seasons of my life! I recently became trained in Lagree and am so excited to share my love of both teaching and fitness with Studio Novo Franklin!

When not in the studio, you can find me out and about antiquing or at any local farmers market thinking of my next meal to whip up! So excited to share this journey with the team at True Form Fitness.
