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.

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!
