Ride Coaches – WPG Cycle Studio

Meet our Coaches

Ashley

Why I ride: From the first time I set foot in the spin room at WPG Cycle I was hooked on a form of exercise that was exciting and energetic. Riding is my way to reset and to take care of my body and mind. When life is unpredictable, I know I can come to the studio and walk out of the spin room feeling more positive and refreshed.

What I bring to the podium: Being a ride coach to me means being a part of a community. On the podium, I bring the energy that I want riders to feel during their 45 minutes in class, because it’s the riders’ passion that brings the bikes and the room alive. There is nothing like putting on your favourite music and seeing a room full of riders get on the same beat and working together as one team.

What kind of music I play: My favourite music is alternative, so I love to throw in a pop or rock remix into class. I’ll never pass up a good 90s throwback track, or an EDM mix with a sick beat drop!

Why I ride: I love riding because I feel an alter ego emerge from my soul . I feel a sense of power and control when I’m on the bike. When the music starts playing all my insecurities, stressors and my negativities disappear into thin air.

What I bring to the WPG Experience:I want my space to be a place where you feel your most bad ass self, a space where you can go to when you’re feeling down ( because I’ll be there to pick you up) a space where there’s no judgment and we ride as a community!

What kind of music I play: LOVE all types of music, if it has a good beat I’m all over it ! My favourite tunes to ride to would be Reaggeton , EDM ( those beat drops tho) and Throwbacks!

“Let’s do the damn thing!”

Nik

Why I ride: When I get in the room and clip in, I leave the world behind for 45 minutes. I clip in and let go of whatever is on my mind, whatever is holding me back and I just let loose.

I ride because it’s the community that encourages everyone to be who they truly are. I ride because it’s the perfect combination of a workout with a touch belting out some bangers and moving like you were at a Manitoba social with all your friends.

What I bring to the WPG Experience: A sense of accomplishment, whether it is your first class or not. You will achieve something new every time.

The love for heavy turns on the dial. The love for intervals and isolations.

Humour to get through the gritty moments of class, and a whole lot of sass.

What kind of music I play: Throwbacks are my jam. It’s a guarantee that you will hear a Throwback track in my class.

With a mix of Dance Pop, EDM and Pop.

You’ll not even notice that I slip in a country song to spice things up every now and then.
