What incentivised you to join SPENGA?
“I was intrigued that there are 3 workouts in one class. Two of which I knew I needed to work into my workouts that I was not already doing (spin and yoga). I also like how the spin portion uses the "zones," where you set your own goals every time you get on the bike, and it makes you push yourself harder every time.”
What's your favorite part about SPENGA? 
“I love hitting the spin bike hard to achieve that extra leg workout I have been looking for without having to increase my running mileage. I also love the yoga portion as the stretching has kept my body more flexible and less prone to injury for my races. I have noticed that with the low impact workouts I have had less problems with my knees and back.”
What is your fitness goal that you want SPENGA to help you achieve?
“I want to continue to elevate my cycle "Sweet Spot". I love how that measurement pushes me every time I show up, and has proved to help my performance in all of my races!”
Thank you Madrid Family for all that you bring to our SPENGA community, and for showing us that hard work and dedication yield massive rewards!
