I was first introduced to the indoor cycling scene by my husband, Joey. After finding immediate enjoyment in the cycling world, I was eventually challenged by my husband to take the bike by the horns and move into instructing. This invitation put me on a path to teaching here at Rideologie. My favorite part of cycling is that etherial connection one finds when the music and lyrics speak to you while finding total engagement in mind, body, and soul. I will always bring a challenge to you physically, but also provide moments of connection, body and soul. My class style: an equal balance between the aerobic, building endurance in the cardiovascular system, and the anaerobic, challenging your muscles through short bursts of energy. 3 facts about me:

Welcome to our Rideologie Community, I’m Lauren and summer of 2024 is my 5th year teaching at the studio! I started outdoor cycling with my dad and tried indoor rhythm riding to supplement my training, and now I ride more indoor than outdoor! My mental health and fitness journey really changed when I found this community and I think there is no better way than to find a form of exercise you love and people you love to do it with. I’m a Millennial through and through, so plan to see that reflected in my rides whether it’s the main theme or sprinkled throughout my 60 minute classes. As the creator of Millennial Mondays (and Moody Mondays) I’ve tried to program my classes to be a powerful space where you can connect with your neighbor and have a fun workout! 3 Facts about Me: 1. Married ten years with two amazing sons and a Sheepadoodle 2. I love Halloween and don’t believe in having enough decorations apparently 3.I was a hairdresser for ten years and I loved getting to know clients!

Hi! I am the owner and founder of Rideologie! I absolutely love this studio with my entire heart and soul. This studio has brought so much purpose into my life and I love what I do. My background in spin started back in 2016 where after graduating from The University of Utah and moving to Southern California, I discovered an indoor cycling studio. Long story short I moved back home and realized Salt Lake could use Rideologie. I love this community and dancing on the bike with you all! 3 facts about me: 1. I have a two year old son 2. I love IN-N-OUT burger! 3. I love being at the beach and traveling new places.

Being apart of Rideologie quickly made Salt Lake City feel like my home. When I’m not at Rideologie you can find me trying out local coffee shops, skiing or hiking up in the canyons or just spending time with my husband and our two dogs! 3 facts about me: 1.

I am a dedicated spin instructor whose journey into fitness began as a gesture of love. Initially drawn to CrossFit to impress my now husband, I found my true passion in fitness. This passion led me to becoming a spin instructor where I feel “found myself” on that bike! After teaching 174 classes at CycleBar, my commitment to the craft led me to Rideologie, where I continue to inspire others through my energetic teaching style and love for music. With my infectious enthusiasm and unwavering dedication, I empower my riders to push beyond their limits and discover their own strength both on and off the bike. Like I always say “If you aren’t having fun, you aren’t working out right!” 3 facts about me : 1. I hate cantaloupe 2. I’m a huge Beyonce and Taylor Swift fan 3. Favorite way to pass time is watching my hubby surf

I love riding because it adds another layer of vitality to my mind, body and spirit that, thought I teach yoga and PEAK|45 as well, is so dynamic and unparalleled. Sitting in a darkened room, that vibrates to life with the energy of everyone else that chose to clip in that day and guide where their life is going next, is a truly powerful experience. When you couple that with my love for varied musical genres, textures, languages, and voices - much like yoga, the ride becomes unifying, integrative wellness at its best. 3 facts about me : 1. At age 14 I could play 9 instruments. 2. Being born in California and raised in New Jersey makes calling Utah home the perfect middle ground - where I also found my hubby and co-teacher Alex 😍 3. I love the arts! Whether it’s seeing Wicked 10+ times, Ballet West’s Nutrcracker n-teenth time, or comedy at Wiseguys there is nothing like experiencing the passion of another human being in uninhibited form.

I love spin classes because they provide an energetic and motivating environment for a great workout! The upbeat music, the guidance of the instructors and every time you step into the room it’s a new experience! The first time I ever took a spin class back in 2018 I almost threw up (lol) but the feeling I got after was so amazing that I wanted to keep going! I love how the classes at Rideologie push you to be the best you can be and it’s a no judgement zone! I love that when I step into the studio I feel so at home and that it’s a little escape from all my other responsibilities! It’s truly my 2nd home at this point! My favorite move on the bike has to be figure 8s because it feels like you’re dancing and you can make it as sassy as you want! 3 facts about me : 1. I have 0 piercings (not even my ears) 2. I have a sever addiction to movie theater popcorn I get it every other week... 3. I’ve been to Korea 3 times!

I was born and raised in Salt Lake City. I have always been passionate about health and fitness and grew up playing soccer. I studied Exercise Science at the University of Utah and went on to become a Physician Assistant. I love what I do because I help to empower people to take control over their own health. I discovered weight lifting when I was in college and fell in love. It was a great way for me to build strength, gain confidence, and mentally reset. When I started taking spin classes, I quickly fell in love with spin for many of the same reasons. When I step into the ride room, I am able to leave the outside world at the door, even if just for 45 minutes. I enjoy being able to meet my riders where they are at, we all start somewhere. Becoming an instructor has allowed me to share my love of movement and music all in a welcoming and supportive environment. In my class you can expect some pop, hip hop, EDM, and of course, some heavy hill climbs and hovers. 3 facts about me: 1) I have two black cats named Albert and Beverly 2) My comfort TV series is Schitt’s Creek 3) I love to cook and can make a drool-worthy focaccia bread
