I have been an advid cyclist for many years.  I started indoor cycling about 4 years ago and immediately fell in love with it.  After attending cycling classes about 5 to 6 times a week, I decided to become an instructor myself.  I attended a training session held by our local cycling director's at my club.  I then had to audition before I could be hired and the audition was held in front of the directors along with several other cycling instructors and regular indoor cycling participants.  I was did not even get a chance to finish my entire set that I had prepared and was hired immediately.  I am a music junkie and love being able to use a god given talent and help motivate people. 

I have taken the AAFA indoor cycling training and recently attended a Schwinn Indoor Cycling training and certification.  I am super excited about what I learned after attending the Schwinn training and have taken that excitement back into my classes that I teach.  My students love this new style of teaching and my classes are full each week.  I currently teach 2 classes a week at Max Fitness on Monday and Thursday evenings at 5:45 p.m.  I sub for other classes when needed as well. 

I also bought a real road bike 3 years ago so I could experience what I am trying to simulate in the classroom.  I completed my first metric century ride 2 years  ago and I can't wait to accomplish my first century ride before the end of summer.  I love riding outside as well as inside and my enthusiasm for this sport is very evident as my students will tell you. 

I would love to have the opportunity to teach my indoor classes at a resort where people are wanting to maintain a level of fitness while enjoying themselves on a great vacation!
