INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a great start to spring semester!!
My name is Hannah. I am a senior finance major with digital marketing and analytics and communication minors. I have been teaching HIIT and other AFAA classes at the Rec since last semester.
I love teaching classes because fitness has always been a passion of mine and I love sharing that with my participants. Outside of the Rec center I enjoy hanging with family and friends, playing with my dogs, running, skiing, and cooking.
Look forward to seeing you all at the Rec this semester!!
**Edit: Hannah actually teaches WEDNESDAY at 11:45am.**

INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT!

Hey everyone! I’m Sydney and I’m a senior majoring in Real Estate & Urban Economic Studies. I began teaching Spin at the Rec Center my sophomore year and this will be last semester (big sad) Auditioning to be an instructor was one of the best decisions I’ve made at UConn. I’ve learned so much about health and fitness and have met some amazing participants who have made each class a pleasure to teach. The energy in the spin room is HYPE every class and it makes my day. I hope to see some new faces in class next semester, you won’t regret it! Outside of Spin, I love participating in HuskyTHON, being outside/outdoor sports, long walks on the beach and cooking. I hope everyone has a great rest of break and see you next semester 🙂

Hi everyone, I’m Jessie! I hope you’re all having a nice, relaxing break:) I’m a junior SLHS major who has been teaching at the Rec Center for the past few months🧘♀️Some fun facts about me include loving to cook, cuddling my sister’s dog, Bean (pictured above), being a member of the club lacrosse team and watching bad reality TV:) The best part about coming in each week, whether it’s for an all levels or flow class, is seeing new and familiar faces! Watching a student master a skill they have been working on for a few weeks is one of the most rewarding parts of this job<3 I’ve seen changes in my mind and overall health throughout the years with this practice, and I hope to share that with the other students who come in! Whether it’s a virtual or in-person class, I’m hoping to continue to share this yoga experience with my peers in a safe and healthy way this upcoming semester💛

Heyo wonderful humans ! I hope everyone is enjoying the much needed break 🙂 My name is Anna and I study math and WGSS! I’ve been teaching at the rec center since my freshman year and I’m graduating this spring - BOY HOW TIME FLIES! Im a lead instructor this year and teach spin, functional training, and strength training classes, and I absolutely love it! Participants are amazing friends and growing stronger each week with everyone is a feeling you can’t recreate any where else, so if you haven’t tried it - do it, I dare ya! I love jamming to good music and having an absolute blast in classes and I can bet you I will tell wild stories and crazy dad jokes ! Outside of the rec center LOVE cooking, pretending I’m good at art, anything and everything outdoors, and finding new songs. I hope you swing by next semester and join me for a killer workout - I usually teach mornings so get your day started on the right foot! Cheers to 2021 and see you next semester!
