Cassie Bivens
Hi I’m Cassie! I grew up playing sports and started my Pilates and Barre journey at PeaceCore in 2024, quickly falling in love with the PC Community and the positive changes these practices brought to my mental and physical health! In November 2024, I completed my Barre certification and am looking forward to completing my Pilates certification as well. I am excitd to bring a positive and encouraging atmosphere to each class and to uplift others as they grow! I received a Biology degree from the University of Cincinnati, and in my free time I enjoy staying active, reading, frequent trips to HomeGoods, and spending time with my 4 pets- a dalmatian, a cat, and two bunnies!
Kendall Duffield
Hi I’m Kendall!
I am certified in Barre Intensity, and working to get my Stott Pilates Mat/Reformer certification in 2025. I was an athlete for majority of my life playing many different sports (played collegiate lacrosse), practiced yoga for many years, and regularly weight lift as well.
A passion of mine stemming from my athletic roots is to stay ACTIVE! I strongly believe in the power of staying active and the positive impacts physically and mentally it has on us as humans. I am beyond excited to share that belief and encourage the people in my class to embrace it all the aches and soreness, to all of their progress!
I received a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Indiana Tech. I work for an exterior remodeling company (KDCO Home Improvement) here in Akron. In my free time I enjoy taking classes at PC, going for walks and adventures, spending time with my friends, family, and dog Loki.
