Toni Perilli

Instructor

Toni has been a fitness enthusiast for over 25 years with a history of dance and sports, but her passion for group fitness and weight lifting began during her college years at Elon University. Her junior year, she took a course in powerlifting and she was hooked. After working with a personal trainer for a few years that introduced her to CrossFit, Toni fell in love with the sport and practiced it consistently for over a decade, and was a very active member of the community.

A mother of two and a business owner, you can find Toni taking a HIIT class, lifting, running, or dropping into a dance or heels class in her free time. Toni is currently working on her group fitness and CPT certification. Be prepared to work in her class… and for a sick playlist.
