Vivant was created by Andrea Courtemanche, former NFL Cheerleader, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and Certified Mat Pilates Instructor. From the moment she could walk, dance had been an integral part of Andrea's life. As she transitioned into adulthood, her passion for fitness grew, but she quickly realized the fitness industry often harbored a toxic environment. After being a consistent gym-goer for ten years, she became bored with the monotony and tired of being alone in her fitness journey. This realization came to a head when she experienced several health issues, stemming from her focus on aesthetics rather than overall well-being.
This led Andrea to discover the world of holistic health, where healing from the inside out through nutrition and lifestyle became her primary focus in her mid-20s. As she navigated her own health challenges and successfully managed her autoimmune issues holistically, she recognized the potential to help others through her experiences.
Desperately wanting a place to make new friends, experience fun fitness classes, and enjoy dancing as an adult, Andrea was inspired to create a space that merges her three passions: fitness, dance, and wellness. Her goal is to offer an inclusive environment for adults of all ages, body types, and experience levels to break free from the routine of daily life and build a supportive community.
