Congratulations to Terri, our September Employee of the Month! 🎉
Terri has been part of the Active team for approximately one year and brings 20 years of group fitness experience to our community. She began teaching dance in 2006 and added Zumba in 2013. Over the past decade, she has expanded her expertise to include mobility, high-intensity interval training, and functional strength.
Terri’s favorite part of working at Active is connecting with our members. She loves hearing about their fitness journeys and learning how classes have improved their strength, confidence, and motivation.
Her own motivation comes from an ambitious goal: living to be 105! Strength and mobility training also help Terri continue pursuing her passion for dance. After spending five years working at a desk and later experiencing meniscus tears, Terri gained a greater appreciation for consistent strength training, especially the importance of building the muscles that support the knees.
When asked to name her favorite exercise, Terri didn’t hesitate: the Romanian Deadlift!
Outside of Active, Terri enjoys dancing Samba and spending time with her daughter, Lyra. She is also working toward an exciting personal goal, dancing in Rio Carnaval in 2029.
Congratulations, Terri! Thank you for the experience, enthusiasm, and genuine care you bring to our members and the Active community.
