SPENGA CREW Spotlight: Grace C.
Check out our Rockstar part-time manager, Grace!
Here is a little bit about her, be sure to say HI when you come to the studio for your next session!
What do you love about SPENGA?
One of the many things that I love about SPENGA is its inclusivity and positive energy. Whether or not I’m having a bad day, I’m always surrounded by some of the nicest people — both coworkers and members. SPENGA is also so welcoming to everyone who comes in, and it’s created such a safe space for so many, which is one of the main reasons I believe in it so much.
What is your favorite time to take a session?
My favorite time to take a session would be in the morning. I feel it gives me that extra boost I need to start my day and be productive.
Favorite Format?
If I had to pick just one, I think my favorite would be ignite! I love the short, timed sets approach that incorporates a lot of different ways to switch up your strength training. It’s my favorite way to both challenge myself and enjoy the workout!
What is your go to pre or post-workout snack?
My go-to pre-workout snack is definitely bananas. It’s my favorite fruit and gives me just the boost I need. And, if I’m feeling extra hungry, I love making a sandwich with banana, peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon — highly recommended trying it :)
We know you aren’t *supposed* to choose...but fess up. RIDE, REP, or REVIVE?!
Revive!!! It’s my favorite because so many people neglect the importance of yoga and its benefits. I’ve definitely seen the benefits of incorporating it into my workout routine; it’s just as essential as any other part of a workout.
What are you reading? Binge watching?
One of my goals is to definitely read more, but I’m currently binge watching Nathan For You. I’ve seen it before but it’s one of the funniest shows out there that’s perfect to binge watch on any occasion.
Favorite song right now?
Headshots (4r Da Locals) by Isaiah Rashad has been on repeat for me ever since it came out.
Favorite spot in Dayton?
Other than SPENGA Dayton of course, my favorite spot in Dayton is probably the Gem City Catfé. You get to sip some coffee and play with some adorable (and adoptable) cats.
Gem City Catfe - 1513 E 5th St, Dayton, OH 45403
Favorite Restaurant in Dayton?
Power Plant Juice Bar is one of my favorite places for a good healthy meal! It’s not so much of a restaurant but you’re definitely guaranteed quality food and drink there.
Power Plant Juice Bar - 430 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Washington Township, OH 45458
What is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure is probably still playing Fortnite. Ridiculous, I know.
