When asked, what do you love about WERKING at SPENGA?  Rachel said, "Life is about finding your gift and giving it away. I give my everything when I am at WERK, desiring to support my fitness family through fitness education, motivation, a safe place to be yourself, a place to laugh and or cry at it."


Fess up, RIDE, REP, or REVIVE? Which is your fav?  "I LOVE THEM ALL THE SAME !! Depending on the day, they each fill a spot in my heart.
RIDE gives me an adrenaline rush, endorphins, and the sweat I crave.
REP makes me a badass, stronger in every sense of the word, and confident, and REVIVE gives me clarity and peace, plus makes me feel alive."

 

Allison Polanski

Allison originally hails from Suwanee and moved to Roswell with her husband, Sean, five years ago. They've been happily married for almost three years and have two beloved furry kids - Gus Gus the Goldendoodle and Harry Hood the kitty! In 2020, Allison took charge of her health while planning their wedding. She gave SPENGA a try to get "wedding ready," and she was so glad she did. What started as a role at the front desk quickly turned into a passion, and after a year, Allison became an instructor!
When asked what she loves about SPENGA, she said,  "SPENGA Roswell is awesome because it provides a well-rounded, fun, and safe experience all under one roof. We cover cardio, strength, and flexibility - all in one go! Everyone here is so happy; we're all part of a big family! As soon as you walk through the door, you can't help but feel happy and smile"

When asked what she does when she isn't at the studio? She said, "Outside of SPENGA, I love running/marathon training, seeing live music with Sean, and spending time with my family"

Tasha Barton

Tasha was born in Texas but has resided in Roswell since the age of eight. She has been married for fifteen years and is the mother of four children, as well as two dogs, two cats, a guinea pig, a snake, a lizard, and a fish. Growing up, Tasha was a dancer and has retained her interest in the artform, regularly practicing yoga, Pilates, barre, and spin. In 2020, she joined SPENGA after having taught Hitt classes and yoga at other gyms. Additionally, in 2020, Tasha began running marathons and has achieved the status of three-time Boston Marathon qualifier. She is also a RRCA certified running coach.

When asked, what's your favorite part of SPENGA- Tasha said, "Revive, also know as yoga. At SPENGA, we offer something special - a hard workout session followed by yoga, plus a community of support and encouragement. I've made some of my best friends here, and I'm sure you will too!

What does Tasha when she isn't at  SPENGA? Tasha loves to get her sweat on by running marathons, jam out to her favorite music (a mix of Taylor Swift and rap!), and spend quality time with her family. If you ever see a blonde (or maybe someone with purple hair) running around in Roswell, chances are it's Tasha - she's always getting in her miles and curating the best playlists!

SPENGA's signature 1-hour session that combines 20 minutes of heart-pumping Spinning, 20 minutes of circuit-style strength training, and 20 minutes of revitalizing yoga, to deliver the Best. WERKout. Ever!
