TEACHING STYLE

Picture the energizer bunny but on a ride bike! I am here to motivate, excite, and build you up on and off the bike. As I always say, listen to your own body first and my voice second. I encourage you to go at your own pace, but I’m here to challenge you when you need that extra push (add in that extra quarter turn!)

QUALIFICATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

WHAT TO EXPECT IN MY CLASS

High energy, diverse beats, and lots of SWEAT!

HOW I GOT INTO FITNESS

As a child, I was always drawn to all types of physical activity. Dance became my main focus at a young age and was something I pursued competitively. As a form of training, I began spinning and instantly fell in love with the high energy, loud music, fast-paced choreography, and team atmosphere. I began teaching spin in my senior year of high school, and I haven’t stopped since!

FAVOURITE WAY TO SWEAT

A dance, Pilates, HIIT, boxing, ride or yoga class ALWAYS does the trick.

FUN FACT

I’m from the West Coast! I grew up in the Okanagan in beautiful British Columbia.
