December Member of the Month: Eliza Williams
SPENGA FAM, MEET ELIZA! She is one of the very first SPENGA Founding Members. The entire crew LOVED getting to know her at our Bike Chattanooga event! During her undergrad at Sewanee University, she fell in love with the area and decided to make Chattanooga her home. After graduating from William and Mary School of Law in Virginia, she made the move! She says while the food is great, Chattanoogans stole her heart because it’s SO easy to build community and friendships here. Eliza started her legal career at a private firm and found herself diving increasingly into her court appointed cases and never looked back. She has been a Public Defender in Hamilton County for the past 7 years and can’t imagine doing anything else!
Her Chattanooga-based fitness journey started several years ago, and even continued through her pregnancy (GO GIRL!) But, she explained, through COVID mandates plus a toddler, her schedule has shifted to crushing at-home workouts with Velma by her side! When asked what advice she would give to other moms looking to focus on fitness this season: Variety is key! Don’t be afraid to switch it up and try something new… a mentality that led her to join our SPENGA family! A long-time yogi, she loves that SPENGA incorporates stretching and recovery in addition to hitting the cardio and weights ALL IN ONE HOUR! Eliza is most motivated in a group setting and LOVES a good challenge - especially cardio, so expect to see her crushing that spin section! You’ll likely catch her in the after-work crowd, so be sure to say ‘Hello’ and come ready to WERK!
