Aerobics classes feature qualified staff

by Jessica Snow assistant sports editor

The Loquitur thinks you are fat. It would be a very good idea to take a cue from all the recent stories about the Dixon Center and get over there once in a while. You may even meet someone interesting.

All week there are spaces begging to be filled in classes throughout the day. The classes are free to students and members, so "the room should be packed, and it is not" according to Tracey Greenwood, Fitness Director.

Greenwood, who attended the University of Delaware, got her masters from St. Joseph's University and is working on her Ph.D. at Temple, describes the aerobics staff as "very qualified." She instructs the step and sculpt class Mondays from noon to I p.m. Greenwood stated that this class, like most of the others, is easily modified for different levels of fitness.

Molsen, Greenwood's dog, runs with her every morning. Greenwood describes weight training as her passion, however. Running medium to long distances is, however, a passion for Barb Wolther, an

A.C.E. certified personal trainer, when she is not teaching at the Upper Merion YMCA or at Cabrini. "I've run some marathons," Wolther said casually.

Wolther has over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry. She is the director at the YMCA in Berwyn, as well as being a national exercise physiology trainer for the YMCA. Wolther teaches step aerobics, kick boxing and two step and sculpt classes in the Dixon Center. Another instructor, who can be found teaching kick boxing, body sculpting and ab busters, is junior Angela Thornton.

Thornton has been involved at the Dixon Center "since its opening" and "in some sort of physical activity" since she was 5 years old, she says. Greenwood describes Thorton, a human resources and sports science major, as "all about fitness." Thorton also teaches Cabrini's cooking club about nutrition and she does personal training. There are also classes in Tai Chi and Yoga and many classes taught in the pool, including Step Aerobics and Water Exercise.

A few people are very excited about the upcoming track season, unfortunately those few people are the extent of both the men's and women's track teams.

"We have talent, we just do not have enough people," junior Jason Bull said.

Bull reported that there is a lot to look forward to this season. "The Collegiate Track Conference, our new conference, is going to be really rough. A lot of the best teams on the east coast will be in it."

Roxanna King added, "In this new conference we wilJ be running decent schools on nice tracks."

The women's team, however, is also in need of athletes. Amanda Campbell, a
