Group Fitness Member of the Month: Kassie
Congratulations to our Group Fitness Member of the Month, Kassie!
I became a member at Jada Blitz in March 2023. With my wedding coming up that November, both of my sisters-in-law encouraged me to try a cycle class. I was nervous at first, but from the moment I started, I was hooked!
MY GOALS & BECOMING A GROUP FITNESS MEMBER:
My goals were personal and meaningful, even if they felt a bit vague at the time. I was always active as a high school and college student through cheerleading and dance, but over time, I felt like I lost touch with that part of myself and the joy of movement. I wanted to get my body moving again, especially for my wedding. Looking and feeling my best mattered to me, and along the way, I realized that working out also helped me prioritize my mental health.
I absolutely love the group fitness classes here. I’ve tried Rhythm Rides, Ride & Strength, and Group Strength classes, and each one has given me confidence and pushed me to new limits. I never thought I’d be the kind of person who would be at the front of the room, putting myself out there and trying new things. These classes have been inviting, inclusive, and a safe space where I can take risks, make mistakes, and grow.
Danielle is a consistent positive light in my journey. She makes me feel like more than just a person in her class; she celebrates my wins and truly cheers me on. We both got married within two months of each other, and we both work with children outside of Jada Blitz, which created an immediate sense of comfort and connection. Thanks to her, I’ve been inspired to try classes I wouldn’t have considered otherwise. She’s kept me accountable, and her warmth, combined with her high expectations, is exactly what I need in a class.
One big lesson I’ve taken away from Danielle and Jada Blitz is to put yourself out there and try something new. It might sound cliché, but it could be the key to finding something that truly resonates with you.
ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT TRYING A GROUP FITNESS CLASS:
Go for it! Try a class and do it for yourself. Prioritize your health because if you don’t, no one else will.
MEET DANIELLE, GROUP FITNESS INSTRUCTOR AT JADA BLITZ FITNESS
Kass has been a dedicated member in my group fitness classes since I began teaching in the cycle room. She’s seen me evolve, try new things, and get more comfortable on the bike—and she continues to show up so we can grow together. Kass has a quiet confidence and strength on the bike. Always riding front row, she is the best person to follow if you get off your lead foot!
I chose Kass as our Group Fitness Member of the Month because she has such a kind heart and presence in and out of the cycle room. She is dedicated to learning various combinations, try new bpms and continues to show up for herself and her community. Kass is always open to practice when figuring out new moves on the bike. From tap backs to complex choreography – she continues to put her ego to the side and practice!
What stands out most about Kass is her welcoming spirit toward other members and instructors. Since my first day teaching spin, she’s brought a calm, positive energy that’s impossible to miss. I’m thrilled to celebrate Kass as our Group Fitness Member of the Month!
