The Team
Behind the Magic
The committee is thrilled to have the privilege of hosting the Art of Fitness Charity Showcase. This event would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of our committee members and the many volunteers who assist throughout the evening. We are deeply grateful for their invaluable contributions.

Founder: Art of Fitness
Owner: CAT Studio
Owner: Creating Healthy Solutions
In 2009, I opened a Custom Airbrush Tanning studio in Somerset, MA, and installed an XPole for some fitness fun between clients. As interest grew, I began teaching pole sessions and became a certified pole instructor in 2011, giving rise to CAT Studio (Custom Airbrush Tan).
By 2013, CAT Studio moved to Swansea, MA, allowing us more space to expand our creative endeavors. Before discovering CAT Studio and the supportive CAT community, I struggled with body image, self-love, and acceptance. CAT Studio Aerial Pole Fuzin & Fitness has truly transformed my life.
My goal is for everyone who steps through our doors to experience the same empowerment and transformation that I have found at CAT Studio.
Five years ago, I founded the Art of Fitness to showcase our CAT strength and shine a light on important causes. This year, I am profoundly honored to support military mental health. My family, including grandfathers, uncles, cousins, and my fiancé, are proud veterans of various branches of the U.S. military. Having experienced the impacts of mental health and PTSD trauma firsthand, this is our chance to make a meaningful difference.
Tracy Blake
Marketing Manager
I am an OG (original girlfriend) contributor and student at CAT Studio. As the mother of a child who faced significant mental health challenges throughout their childhood, I deeply understand the complexities and lack of support that can accompany such struggles. This personal experience has driven me to advocate for all to have access to essential mental health services.
When I’m not in class, parenting, or advocating, I work with local businesses on marketing and advertising. With a robust background in sales, account management, marketing, and business development across various industries, I am committed to creating positive change. I firmly believe that the energy you give is the energy you receive.
Terren Steeb
Project Manager
I’m the newest member of the Art of Fitness Charity Showcase committee, and I couldn’t be more excited to be here.
By day, I’m a research manager for a marketing consultancy, my nights however, are filled with aerial arts. I started taking aerial classes to reconnect with myself, and it has done that and more—it’s become my true passion. Last year, I had the privilege of performing in the showcase, and I was awed by the magic, the hard work, the dedication, and the generosity that brought it all together. I was inspired to help make that magic happen for others.
This year, I am personally connected to our cause. Military mental health is incredibly important to me because it has deeply impacted my own family. My grandfather was a Marine, and his struggles with mental health affected all of us. Being part of this event is more than just a volunteer opportunity for me—it’s a chance to make a difference for families like mine who have experienced the lasting effects of military service.
Victoria Power
Backstage Manager
I started taking classes at CAT Studio in 2017 and started off as we all do, shy and scared. But thanks to the environment of the Studio, I am now a seasoned performer, with a gold medal in Exotic Level 2 at the Northeast PSO Competition in Boston in 2019. I have at least 10 performances, that includes all of the now 6 annual showcases, under my belt (or garter!). I love showing up for my tribe!
When I’m not at class, I’m at work, which doesn’t feel like work most days to be honest! I’m a well-loved certified daycare teacher! My main age group is toddlers and oh my goodness are they the best! We go through shapes and colors and have a dance party almost every single day! It’s so amazing to see them grow into little humans who say please and thank you and say I love you all the time!
Where is my free time? Well it’s there I promise! I’m a dog mom of 2 rescues, and spend time with the people around me who matter most! I’m also writing a book that I’m hoping to publish one day, along with being an avid reader! I love music of all genres, especially if I can sing to it!
Last but certainly not least, I’m an activist for anything I believe is right, LGBTQIA+, racial, mental health, animal rights, etc. Where does this rainbow-haired warrior find the time?!
