Third-year physical therapy student at the School of Medicine has been a part of the URecFit and Wellness team since 2018.
Every year at URecFit and Wellness, we hire students from across all seven University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) schools and programs. These student employees work in areas such as aquatics, intramural sports, the Wellness Hub, youth and family programming, and of course, fitness. During COVID-19, our fitness team began teaching online classes, hosting virtual personal training sessions, and leading many other fitness programs. They continue to devote themselves to helping our UMB community by providing virtual opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to maintain their physical health and social wellness.
This month we want to shine a spotlight on one of our fitness instructors.
Ali Forejt is a third-year physical therapy student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and has been a part of the URecFit and Wellness team since 2018. She has trained many clients and taught many classes including Circuit Training, Mindfulness, and Body Weight Training. In addition to being a fitness instructor, she also works with our intramural sports team to host and officiate tournaments. We can’t thank Ali enough for all her time and effort.
We want to share a few words from one of Ali’s clients that show how much she means to our programs and our community:
"Her energy and enthusiasm for training is tangible and infectious. Ali is great at pushing me to do new exercises and try heavier weights. Her attention to detail and love of physical therapy speaks volumes about the education she is getting at UMB, but even more about her dedication to her craft. It’s clear to me that she wants everyone to access their full physical capabilities and function as strong, pain-free individuals. Sessions with her brighten my week — even the super-sweaty ones that I can feel days later.”
