Submitted to Carson Now Terri Snyder, a dedicated fitness instructor, has decided to hang up her sports shoes after nearly four decades of teaching at the Carson City Community Center. Her legacy is one of unwavering commitment, resilience and a passion for health and wellness. For 40 years, Terri led fitness classes — eight times a week — regardless of the challenges that came her way. Snowstorms, pandemics, and even fires couldn't deter her. She was the embodiment of punctuality, arriving promptly for her 5:30 am sessions and midday classes. Her students admired her consistency and dedication. Terri's class was a vibrant tapestry of ages and professions. From energetic 20-somethings to sprightly octogenarians, everyone found a place in the Carson City Community Center. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, judges, nurses, teachers, and even politicians sweated side by side, united by their shared goal of fitness. Terri's class wasn't just about exercise; it was a community — a family that supported and encouraged one another. Terri bid farewell June 27, her final class, with the echoes of her instructions resonating one last time, and her legacy living on through the friendships forged within those walls. After the workout, friends, family, fellow instructors and Terri's Carson City regulars met at Mills Park, a fitting tribute to a remarkable instructor who inspired generations. Her over 50 students are looking for a new instructor to carry the torch and continue the legacy.
