Jacki Lane

Over 20 years, she has completed certifications in Yoga, Spinning, Aquatic Fitness, Personal Training and Pilates. Her specialty – GETTING MORE OUT OF THE HOUR. Combined workouts, cardio & conditioning, and creativity at ALL TIMES. She has worked with clients of all ages and abilities and can modify for any issues and injuries in most classes/camps. Jacki is a mom of three now grown children (15, 25, 27)- and knows how important working out is for both new and seasoned mom-clients’ bodies and their minds. A favorite quote from a camper ~ “I needed to burn off some energy, now I can be nice to my kids all day!” Another quote, “I’m so happy you believed I could build muscle even at 75! I can unload my washer in one go now!” Being 56 in 2025, Jacki has added “menopause control” to her roster of experiences, has worked through her own issues to resolve weight creep and energy decline on her own, and is ready to share those tips and tricks with you.
Her business development began with the “FitCamp” concept in 2005. She shared this and coached many trainers in her community to help them run the profitable programs on their own.. She has also written a training manual on how to teach FitCamp, a Page-A-Day Bootcamp Calendar and a Goal Weight 130 EBook available on Amazon. She strives to bring NEW trends in fitness to the Newport Community while supporting her amazing team of trainers. Jacki strives to keep her fingers on the ‘pulse’ of fitness trends and bring them to you.
Before fitness, Jacki worked as a Marketing Manager for Burton Snowboards and then a Marketing Director for Turtle Fur Company (winter sports clothing brand.).

Annemarie Cazzarro
Annemarie Cazzarro’s favorite workout is one that pushes her to the limit, she loves combining jumping with the intensity of strength training. Her love for fitness lies in constantly challenging herself and trying new things to keep the workout experience lively.
In the fitness world, Annemarie draws inspiration from various local figures, including Mimi Walsh, Megan Weymouth, Charlotte Armstrong, and Carol Perry from her younger days, and of course Jacki later on! These influences have shaped her approach to teaching and training.
When it comes to music, Annemarie’s taste leans towards high energy with heavy beats. Though she enjoys a variety of music, she admits that country isn’t really her jam. With a rhythmic flair, Annemarie doesn’t choreograph her workouts but gets creative, ensuring unpredictability in every session.
Whether it’s MaxIntensity, AssKicker with Annemarie, Bootcamp, or Pure Strength, you can expect a well-rounded cardio-strength experience. Additionally, Annemarie takes on a limited number of personal training clients, providing personalized fitness guidance!

Lisa Fitzpatrick
Lisa Fitzpatrick’s favorite workout is Barre, a passion she discovered after initially starting with rowing upon joining the Pulse team. Once she taught her first barre class, she was hooked, appreciating the comprehensive muscle engagement it offers. Lisa loves hearing from clients who are sore in places they never knew were possible. Not to mention, Barre clothes are the best!
In the fitness world, Lisa draws inspiration from figures like Tracey Mallet, the founder of The Bootybarre, and Simone De la Rue, the founder of Body by Simone. Constantly browsing Instagram for ideas, she keeps her workouts fun and fresh.
Lisa’s music tastes span a broad range, evident in her classes where playlists feature music from multiple decades and fun remakes. She believes that music can either make or break a workout and adds anything that inspires and motivates her! When it comes to rhythm and choreography, Lisa prefers to go with the flow of the class and the vibe of the music rather than adhering strictly to a beat. Clients can rely on her to move with them for the best workout experience.

Brianna Martin
I am a local Aquidneck Islander and love being surrounded by water. You’ll often find me at the beach or out on a boat!
I have always enjoyed being active but truly found my passion for fitness when I took my first boot camp with Jacki. The energy of the Pulse community inspired me to take my love for fitness to the next level. As a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer, high-energy workouts that take me to my physical limit are my favorite. Mixing strength training with bursts of cardio is a fun and exciting way to stay fit! After becoming certified as a Personal Trainer I added a TRX Certification to my resume and also teach at Orange Theory Fitness.
I look forward to working with you in camp, class, or privately to help you achieve your goals!
