SPENGA CREW Spotlight: Naomi R.
I was born and raised in Peru and moved to the states when I was 8 years old. I am the middle child in my family and have 2 sisters. My extended family lives in Peru but my immediate family all live in MI. Last December, we grew by one more when I became an aunt to the most precious baby girl, Veronica. At home, two boy kitties run my life and I have fully accepted and committed to the role of cat mama/lady. 
What drew you to being a fitness instructor?
I've been teaching group Fitness since 2018 and it is one of the biggest blessings in my life. I was drawn to it because I wanted to serve - others and myself. When I work out it's solely for me and my body, but when I teach it's about the growth of others - an hour to lead with a serving heart. That's the beauty of teaching for me. I get to give back and pour my all into individuals and in return get a front row seat to their journey - the ups and downs, the comebacks, and the triumphs. I am honored to a be a part of it all.
What do you like most about SPENGA?
THE CLIENTS!!! The community is amazing and it only keeps getting better as we continue to add more members to our family. Yes the format is killer, and yes the classes leave you feeling energized and accomplished....but what keeps you coming back is the feeling you get from this community. There is so much support and love at SPENGA and it shines in and out of our classes.
I love to see the impact our SPENGA format has on member's mood, and their energy levels outside the studio. But mainly, I love to see the accountability they hold for themselves every time they come back for another class. This is your call to put yourself first TODAY and commit to one hour! There are 24 in our day, you absolutely deserve to have 1 be only about you and your mental/physical growth.
Outside of work what do you like doing?
I like to sleep. It is no surprise that with all this daily activity that napping is one of my favorite hobbies - recovery is important! However, any free time I do have at home I like to spend working on home improvement projects with my boyfriend. Lucky for me, he is a licensed carpenter and knows it all.
If you could be instantly good at any activity, what would it be?
I would love to be instantly good at flying an airplane. Like get myself in the aircraft, strap on the seat belt and helmet, and take off knowing exactly what I am doing! I am petrified of heights but inside an aircraft I feel safe. A dream of mine has always been to be up in the skies so that I can take in the beautiful view.
