Nicole Smith / WERQ

WERQ is a fiercely fun cardio dance class using top 40 and hip hop music. Each song has its own choreography which is consistent with all WERQ instructors. Haley Struxness of Glencoe founded WERQ Fitness in 2011 and it has spread from the Chicago area all across the country. WERQ is suitable for all fitness levels (you can even chair WERQ if necessary).

Nicole has been a dancer all her life and now teaches WERQ and Mixxed Fit dance classes at Lifetime Fitness. During the school year she is an 8th grade math teacher … and loves to escape through dance. She is most herself when dancing and believes that everyone feels better when they are moving!
