Twerk N’ Tone Group Fitness Instructor Christian Canastuj

Christian Canastuj has taken Group Fitness at UREC to a new level with Twerk N' Tone. The numbers of people who take his class are consistent and the participants love him. During the Fall Semester of 2022, Christian brought the idea of incorporating more educational opportunities surrounding twerking and its connections and origins to various cultures. Starting off this past Spring semester, that was his goal and Christian has done a fantastic job adding those elements to the class. This class incorporates Afrobeat, Latin, and club-like moves to create an immersive fitness experience for all participants. In the Spring Semester of 2023 he taught 24 regular Twerk N’ Tone classes for the Group Fitness schedule and 2 additional Twerk N’ Tone classes during the month of April for Diversity Celebration in collaboration with the Diversity Celebration Committee. The total numbers for these classes this semester is 246 unique users and 609 total users.

UREC at Spring 2023 Student Affairs Black & Gold Ceremony

Madison Neisz - Bobby L. Dunnigan Outstanding Service Award

Congratulations Madison! 

Her nominator had this to share:

“After demonstrating her leadership potential, this student was promoted in May of 2022 to Program Manager for Member Services. Being a program manager is our highest student-employee position. In this role, this student helps train, manage, and evaluate a team of 40+ students. She has grown as a public speaker and takes initiative to create new training materials for the staff. We’ve been able to implement more announcements over the PA system, occupancy counts to be displayed online, and she continuously helps the team have a better understanding of their role in the evaluation process. Her peers look to her as a leader and resource. She is highly motivated to not only improve her own performance but to enhance the working experience of those around her.”
