Group Power


This class is taught by:

Juli Kaplan

 About Juli: I have always loved being active and working out in a gym. I started teaching Spin, then Stages Cycle in 2006, and Body Pump then MOSSA Power in 2010. I love teaching a strength class then a cardio class right after, giving members nearly 2 hours of conditioning their bodies to be strong, toned, and fit.

When I’m not at the gym my hobbies are playing tennis, pickle ball, and hiking in the mountains around Sierra City where I grew up.

Jen Thomas

Jen started focusing on her overall health during a workplace fitness challenge in 2010. It reunited her with her love of running where she began competing in many of the community 5k races, mud runs, and worked her way up to a half marathon. After healing from an overuse injury while training for a marathon, she became a member of South Yuba Club in 2017. Hoping to find an alternative outlet for exercise and stress relief, she quickly fell in love with the Group Fitness format and the challenge, accountability, and community they provided. She got her certification to instruct MOSSA Fight and joined the Group Fitness team in 2018 and then certified in MOSSA Power a year later.
Even though she’s an “empty nester”, her growing family is always around. She loves whipping up a meal for all of them, hanging out at the family lake, camping, and baking all sorts of sourdough treats to give away. Jen enjoys sharing her passion for having fun while working on lifelong fitness goals. She will challenge you and make you sweat, but she’ll have you doing it with a smile.
“The hardest part of a workout is walking through the door. Once you’re here, we’re going to have some fun and get it done.”

Glenda Mazzuca

Glenda’s passion for fitness began nearly 40 years ago when she took her first “aerobics” class as a New Year’s resolution. It’s the only resolution that I have kept, and she’s still going strong after almost 40 years. Glenda was recruited to teach shortly after her first class, but, due to life changes, she didn’t actually start until a few years later. Her first class format was Step which she taught for nearly 30 years. She has also taught six different MOSSA programs, Yoga, Pilates, Core, Strength, Cycling, a number of Zumba formats, Aqua Fitness, SilverSneakers and a variety of other formats teaching as many as 15 regularly scheduled weekly classes for many years. "Take care of your body, it's the only place you have to live in" has become a very important philosophy in her life, and one she hopes to instill in others. Glenda has been managing Group Fitness departments for over 15 years. After all of these years, Glenda still loves teaching and managing. How many people can say they love going to “work” after 40 years?
Outside of the gym, I love spending time with my dogs. I own many Brittanys and a Boston Terrier. I enjoy competing with them in the show ring and the field.
Glenda has a wonderful son and daughter and is the proud grandmother of fraternal twin girls and 2 grandsons.
