Hillary | Barre

Originally from the Richmond area, Hillary graduated from VCU in 2016 with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and spent the last ten years living and working in Boston, MA, as a supervisor at a law firm. During her time in Boston, she fell in love with group fitness, exploring different modalities such as spin, Pilates, kickboxing, and barre. Over the last five years, she discovered a true passion for barre as a client and decided to take it a step further by becoming an instructor.

Hillary returned to Richmond in March 2026 and began her search for a new studio to call home. Within minutes of stepping into HYB, she felt the warmth (pun intended!) of the community and instantly knew she had found something special. Shortly after taking her first class, she knew HYB was where she wanted to be. In every class, Hillary brings fun, positive energy, upbeat playlists, and encouragement to help clients challenge themselves and celebrate what their bodies can do. She believes the best classes are ones where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered to show up exactly as they are—whether it's their first class or their hundredth.

When Hillary isn't at the studio, you can find her spending time outdoors with her four-year-old Lab, Hank, reading the latest romantasy recommendation from friends, or checking out a new restaurant. She's thrilled to be part of the HYB team and can't wait to see you on the mat!
