Yihong Zhang

A little bit about Yihong:
She's been a CS&F member since August of 2022. She is a PhD candidate in data science, married to the wonderful Vinny, and just welcomed their daughter Phoebe this year. I’m a follower of Jesus, deeply changed and continually shaped by God’s grace.
Prior to coming to CS&F, she said herself that she did zero physical activity and lived a lot in her head.
Favorite Workout: Anything 10-20 minutes
Least Favorite Workout: Cardio

Least Favorite Movement: Running
Favorite Music to Workout To: Anything with a solid beat

Goals when Joining CS&F: She originally joined to manage her mental health. What she didn’t expect was to find a hobby, reconnect with her body for the first time in my adult life, and discover an amazing community here at CS&F.
Special CS&F Memory: She just feels grateful to be part of this community. Every class feels like a little win.
Advice to a New CS&F Member: Trust the process and have fun.
