- Hi, my name is Jill Spangler, I am the Director of Clinical Nutrition for WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital and Reynolds Memorial Hospital. I also have the strongest passion for Group Fitness and Yoga, and have since my Freshman year in college, 1999. I have been teaching at Wheeling Hospital Howard Long Wellness Center since then and hope to continue for another 30 years!
In addition to teaching in Wheeling, I taught at Gold's Gym in Morgantown, WV as I completed my bachelors and masters in Nutrition. I taught at the WVU Student Rec Center as well. I am able to teach bootcamp, core, spin, aqua, step, Zumba, and Pilates, as well as Yoga. In 2001 I obtained my certification from NDEITA which is now NETA and I've maintained my certification since. In 2020 I earned my 200 Hour YTT certified in Power Yoga and I continue to teach 2-3 times/week.
I am passionate about making a difference, particularly in educating children and their families about nutrition, healthy eating, and staying active. I strive to stay positive and make learning fun. I reside in Moundsville, WV with my husband Pat and our 12 year old twins, Nathan and Nicole.
