How long have you been an instructor? Since 1986. I began in college and never stopped!

How has SPENGA impacted your life? I love how efficient the Spenga werkout is. That you get cardio, strength & flexibility all in one hour. It's a complete werkout without over exhausting any one area.

What's your favorite thing(s) to do, when you aren't WERKing out at SPENGA? Spending time with my children and now grandchild, getting together with friends and traveling.

What's your favorite local restaurant? Post & Vine and Chelsea's

What's something most people do not know about you? That I was adopted.

What's the best piece of advice that you can give to someone just starting out on their fitness journey? To begin slowly at a pace appropriate for you (your fitness team can help decide what that is for you). Begin making small changes in nutrition and fitness that you can maintain, once you've got the first goal down, set the next one.
