Jill is an awesome instructor. I really enjoyed her class and her energy. Only downfall was the instructor for the next class came in and cut out class 10 minutes short. The real bummer was the last two times I took the other instructors class she was late so I’ve been shorter not only in her class but now Jill’s. Perhaps the classes should be staggered differently.
I took my first spin class in college when I was significantly
overweight and underexercised. The instructor made a point of
making an example out of me in class. Standing next to me mid class
and shouting at me for not trying hard enough or using enough
resistance. I walked out after 15 minutes and didn’t go back for 6
years.
In that time I had two babies and spent my days with them.
When they headed off to preschool I decided to take care of me and
wandered back into spin. I was 250 pounds and a size 18. I showed
up every day and did what I could. I fell in love pretty
quickly. Lost almost 100 pounds, got certified, and have been
teaching since.
I’m passionate about making sure everyone feels welcome. I
work hard to try and break down the intimidation. But also, more
than anything, love to coach a challenging and rewarding class for
every level of rider. I am a firm believer in giving your
100% effort but knowing that everyone’s 100% looks
different.
I have been teaching since September and riding for four
years. My passion is in finding your limit and pushing it back a
little each time. I lean towards a preference for climbs but
believe in the importance of variety. There is nothing I love
more than helping new riders find their passion for spin and
helping experienced riders push themselves to new
places.
