The University of Rhode Island recently highlighted Spinning
classes at its Anna Fascitelli Fitness and Wellness Center, profiling
the journey of student worker Brittany Snizek from class participant
to instructor.
“I started taking Spinning classes in my sophomore year, and I
really got into it,” Snizek said in a news release. “I am a
better person because of Spinning and I am happier and healthier.
Taking classes here was fun because the instructors are great. Then I
learned that the Fascitelli Center was looking for instructors and I
decided to try it.”
URI highlighted the benefits of Spinning classes, which allow
people to work out inside during the winter and at their own pace,
and the path Snizek took to become an instructor. She underwent a
five-week period learn how to lead a class and then an audition to
earn her instructor position. She also had to complete a nine-hour
course to earn a national certification and is certified in CPR.
“It’s fun and challenging,” Snizek said. “I have only
received compliments, and some say it is the toughest class. Each
week, I see the same people, which I hope means they are enjoying
it.”
