The Team
Who We Are
Debbie
Owner, Instructor & Personal Trainer
What started as a personal fitness journey turned into a lifelong passion for helping others believe in themselves. I’ve been part of RYB for over a decade — first as a member, then an instructor, and now as the proud owner. Over the years, this community has become like family, and I love watching people discover what they’re capable of.
I teach a mix of classes including SPIN, HIIT, Abs & Bottoms, Metabolic Conditioning, Power & Strength, and RockFit, each designed to challenge you, motivate you, and remind you how strong you really are.
My goal is simple: to create a space where everyone feels supported, encouraged, and capable of doing more than they thought possible. I’ve had times when I didn’t believe in myself — but one person’s belief in me changed everything. That’s why I’m here: to pay it forward, to lift others up, and to keep building the RYB community that has given me so much.
Erica
Instructor, Personal Trainer & Communications Manager
Erica began her fitness journey with Rock Your Body in 2013 and has been proudly teaching our community ever since. With over a decade of experience, she brings energy, expertise, and a passion for movement to every class. Erica holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Merrimack College, along with AFAA Group Fitness and Personal Training certifications.
A lifelong dancer since the age of three, Erica fell in love with dance fitness, starting with Zumba Fitness. Since becoming an instructor, she has expanded her expertise to include a wide range of formats—from high-energy cardio to strength training and everything in between. She thrives on helping people push past their comfort zones, discover their inner strength, and build confidence through movement.
To Erica, this community is more than just a group of clients—it’s family. She believes in creating an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone can feel empowered.
Outside of the gym, Erica stays active with her two incredible rescue dogs, Pepper and Tilly. Whether hiking, swimming, or exploring all things dog sports, they keep her just as busy as her workouts do!

Hi! I'm Destiny, a dancer and fitness enthusiast with a mission to inspire you on your health path/journey! As a new instructor, I'm completely thrilled to join RYB & be part of this well-rounded program. By working together, we will gain balance & strength in our mind, body & soul.... In 2019, I started a private in-home daycare which I still run. My family includes two Rhodesians who love being outdoors & being with their humans! We live in Fremont... I enjoy having access to different ski mountains & restaurants. You won't catch me jumping out of a plane, but I do love helicopter rides & will hike a glacier! Looking forward to quality time with you & this amazing group!
My background includes certifications in Zumba Strong as well as Human Resources. I have a BA from Framingham State where I was a Dance Captain (tap & jazz). First Aid, CPR AED certified.
