Gena Faas

Certified Spinning Instructor

Gena has been teaching cycle classes in the community for over 17 years. She spent more than a decade at the Greater La Grange YMCA before moving to La Grange Fitness Center in 2018, and now also teaches at the new Community Park Fitness Center.

Her favorite format to teach is spin — she loves the energy, the challenge, and the sense of accomplishment members feel when they “cross the finish line.” Gena’s motto is simple: “Nothing worth doing is easy.”

Fun Fact: Originally from the Southside of Chicago, Gena has lived in La Grange for over 20 years. She balances teaching with a full-time job and raising two active teenage boys, and in her free time enjoys working out, live music, and spending time with family and friends.
