Fitness Motivator and Instructor Tier Elera began her life with an elevated mindset. After standing on her tip toes at the age of two, her mother enrolled her in ballet lessons…and the rest, as they say, is history.

A native of Los Angeles, CA, Elera relocated to the Nashville area after enrolling in Middle Tennessee State University. It was during her time at the university that she began crafting her own routines, heavily influenced by the west coast dance styles of her childhood and her unique PEruvian culture.

In 2013, Elera officially launched TIERTIME FITNESS. With her signature phrase, “We Pickin’ Up!” Elera encourages her class participants to leave their shame, judgEments, and limits at the door.

“As a dancer, you understand one thing…and that’s to go full out.”
