Erin

My name is Erin MacTavish.  I started teaching bungee at the gym with Joscelyn and the girls back in June of 2024. I love Fitness Ability because it's just that, it's a gym that welcomes anyone with any ability to be who they are and train in a way that makes them feel comfortable.  Our gym is a family.  If you make one trip, I promise you will be hooked.  I have gained friendships here that will last a life time.  Even as an instructor, I have met some amazing people in my classes who I consider dear friends.

Teaching bungee is so special to me.  I love watching people who may be nervous finally get their confidence and start to fly.  It is definitely an addicting form of exercise that anyone can do.  It makes my heart happy seeing people who say they hated exercise until they found bungee and now it's all they look forward to.  My bungee crew is so near and dear to my heart and even after a long day, seeing them smile at class makes it all worth it.

In my spare time you will find me watching/playing any and all sports, I just can't get enough of it.  I am also an avid lover of antiques that I love to source and sell. I spend tons of time with my dog Lulu and my boyfriend Greg. Now that it's warmer you will catch me outside whenever it's not raining as your girl loves the sunshine. Paddle boarding, floating in the pool or working in the garden is where I spend my time when not working or teaching at the gym!

AprilLynn

My name is AprilLynn Haynes. I started my journey at Fitness Ability in 2025, and from the I walked through the doors, I knew this place was something special. Our gym truly feels like a big family, and being part of it has changed my life in the best ways.

I absolutely love teaching Bungee Fitness. which I started January 2026. There’s nothing better than seeing people walk in nervous and unsure, and then—by the middle of class—laughing, smiling, and realizing they’re having so much fun that it doesn’t even feel like working out. Watching our fliers come together, supporting each other, and leave feeling proud is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

When I’m not teaching Bungee or taking other classes at the gym, I’m usually busy with my other jobs—Instacart, Amazon, or working my regular 8–5. I like to stay moving and stay productive.

In the summer, you can usually find me floating in my pool, listening to music. I’m a huge music lover. At home, I have one dog named Ginger, and I’m married with three grown children who I’m incredibly proud of.

Teaching, encouraging others, and having fun while doing it is what I love most. Fitness Ability isn’t just a gym to me—it’s home, and I’m grateful every day to be part of it.

Aleasa

My name is Aleasa Foust-Todaro. I started teaching fitness classes in April 2011, you could say I am a fitness dinosaur. Growing up I was a classically trained dancer in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Hip Hop. I also was a Cheerleader. My personal fitness career started when I was introduced to Zumba. After taking 1 class, I was instantly hooked and thus began my journey.

At the time I was living in sunny California which allowed many opportunities not only in teaching but instructor training as well. In 2013 I moved back to Buffalo where I met Joscelynn. We became instant coworkers, friends and sisters. I am honored to be Joscelynn’s first hired teacher as she branched out from the box gym, opening her own boutique gym.

Being a part of something so amazing as FitnessAbility has changed my life in ways I never imagined. Our gym has become a family throughout the years and watching it grow has been incredible. We lift each other up in the good and bad times giving love and support to all. My personal moto for teaching has always been “Do what you can and as long as you leave with a smile on your face, I did my job”. I believe in fitness for all abilities and bodies. Watching people thrive in all ways is the absolute best.

Since 2011, I have continued my fitness education. Currently I am licensed in Zumba, Zumba Gold, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Kids, Zumba Kids Jr., Zumba Sentao, Zumba Toning, Strong Nation, Zumba in the Circuit, POUND rockout workout, and Generation POUND. While maintaining certification in Barre, Drums Alive, TRX, Yoga, Reiki and Bungee.

You can often catch me at the gym teaching or taking classes. Outside of the gym I am an avid reader, Bills Mafia Babe, travel lover, music enthusiast, spending time at the beach or jet skiing, and being with family and friends. I am a fur mom to one dog and one cat, very proud aunt to my 3 amazing nephews (they are my world), only child to the most supportive parents, young widow to my late husband Dan, recently re-married to the most positive person in my life Michael and stepmom to 2 very active sports loving boys.

April M

I’m April M. I started in January of 2026, after taking a few classes and falling in love with it. 

I love watching new people find their place, and their excitement when taking their first class. 

I think fitness should be fun, empowering and supportive, and that’s exactly the vibe of our gym. We are a family; we cheer each other on no matter what. 

I work at a law firm during the day, and the gym is a welcome relief after sitting in an office! When I’m home, I’m with my 2 kids and my husband of 24 years. I’m usually making art with my shadow (a 10-year-old Boxer named Chewbacca) right beside me. 

I can confidently say that the gym helped me come into my own. I’m doing things I never thought I would before!
