Carly Owens

I am a certified spin/cycling instructor since August of 2009. After participating in spin classes for years I thought, hey, I think I can do better than this! So became an instructor! I am a Graduate student at Virginia Commonwealth University obtaining my Masters of Education in Counseling, as well as a nanny for several wonderful families. I have the great pleasure of splitting my teaching time between 5 different gyms. I have developed a bit of a following and love when my classes fill up. I take pride in getting to know the individuals that take my classes and love getting their feedback on music and routines. My classes are hard, but we get through with great attitudes and an even greater variety of music! In my spare time I am an avid traveler. Most of my travels revolve around me being a mountaineer. I have a goal to climb the 7 summits (highest peak on each continent, and why I do so many climbs in my routines!). My aspirations have taken me to the Nepal where I trekked to the first base camp of Everest, the highest point of Africa (Mt. Kilimanjaro), and most recently "The Stone Sentinel," Mount Aconcagua in Argentina. I always seem to manage to find a bike where ever I travel, I just can't quite keep myself away. I am very active and athletic and love being healthy and in shape. I am most likely going to become Body Pump certified and have gotten very much into Yoga. I also enjoy swimming, playing tennis, soccer, and pretty much any sport under the sun! I love meeting new people and having adventures! If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact me!
