About Me: I am going into my fourth year here at UCM where I am on the track team. On the track team I throw discus and hammer and lift 4x a week. I am a Physical Education major and have always loved any type of movement and coaching. My knowledge of the fitness world comes from my own experience as an athlete for going on for 10+ years, but also what I have learned through working in a Physical Education setting and adult fitness settings.
Class Goals: My goals with Lunch Crush are to provide those who attend to have a great foundation on exercise and fitness, along with challenging them each day. I also find it really important to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, and you will see me pushing you as well. You don't see change unless you get uncomfortable!
Fun Fact: I was at Northwest MO State for two years before transferring to UCM. Due to eligibility rules I had to go a year without competing so I will be involved in college athletics for a total of five years.
About Me: I am a staff member here at UCM in Housing. I started my fitness journey in 2018 and started taking fitness classes myself in 2019. Much of my skill, knowledge, and strength came from attending classes myself, like Lunch Crush and Tabata. I believe anyone can start their journey at any point and I hope people will start theirs with our classes!
Class Goals: I hope those who attend Lunch Crush get a feeling of accomplishment after completing the course each time. I hope members of Lunch Crush feel confident and excited each day. There is no reason to not feel confident. Even if it is your first time, you are learning as well as getting stronger. If it is your 100th time, you are challenging yourself to push past what you did the week before.
Fun Fact: After graduating UCM, I moved out east to live and work on Long Island for 4 years and found myself back "home" at UCM after my role was done out there.
