Meet Your Instructor: Samantha Jay 

I’m a certified Xtreme Hip Hop instructor with three years of teaching experience and the founder of Step Haven, a space I created to bring energy, growth, and real connection into fitness. What started as a personal outlet became my purpose. I teach because I love helping people feel stronger, more confident, and more in control of their journey. My classes are welcoming to all levels while still pushing you to grow, and I focus on creating an environment where you can show up as you are and leave feeling better than when you came in.

I’ve spent nearly 10 years working in human services and mental health, which deeply shapes how I lead. I’m a strong advocate for mental health awareness and believe movement is a powerful way to release stress and reconnect with yourself. I always say this and truly mean it… I guarantee you one hour where you can tune the world out and focus on yourself. Whether you’re coming to relieve stress, build your fitness, or try something new, I’m here to support you and help you feel your best inside and out!
