My favorite part of working at SPENGA?

My favorite part of working at SPENGA is our members, and they are the reason I have continued instructing and love coming into every session! It’s fulfilling to share my passion and knowledge of fitness and watch our members grow both in strength and confidence. I love the front and back werk crew at SPENGA, and am proud to be part of a great team that provides our members with the BEST WERKOUT EVER! SPENGA is my happy place, and a truly rewarding job.

Favorite format?

My favorite format is EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute). With 20 minutes of continuous werk,vmembers get the opportunity to fatigue their muscles. My favorite special session is REP (strength only)!

What made you get involved in fitness or instructing?

Fitness has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, and has developed in me a firm belief that a sound mind starts with a healthy body. The endorphins produced through physical activity create a feeling that is addicting and always has me pushing for more. I was a teacher earlier in my
career, so when gym members and friends continued to ask me what I did to stay in shape, and if they could workout with me, it was natural extension for me to share my passion for fitness by instructing. That led to me to pursue and achieve my NASM personal training certification. I am also a nutrition fanatic and am certified to teach at the HS level. Now, I am lucky enough to combine these passions and
share them with our SPENGA members to deliver the BEST WERKOUT Ever!

Where can I be found?

Most days, I can be found caring for and carting around my three kiddos, Cohen (14), Reid (10), and Lane
(8). You can also find me taking SPENGA sessions several times a week. During the summer months, we spend a lot of time at our lake house on Lake Cumberland where you’ll often find me behind the boat wakesurfing.

After a workout?

After a werkout I fuel with a combo of carbs and protein. Protein shakes with a banana are most common.

My guilty pleasures?

Let’s be real…we all have things we enjoy that perhaps aren’t the best for us, but I am a believer in not restricting and living life. The trick for me is moderation and I believe that’s one of the best ways to stay consistent with your goals. That being said, I have a sweet tooth and a love for chocolate and hazy IPAs!

Songs that get me hyped?

Anything with a fast tempo and beat drop…and of course, anything I can sing to…wait, does that count
as a guilty pleasure?
