In fact, I enjoyed indoor cycling so much that I decided to get my certification so that I could teach classes. As a C.O.R.E. Certified Instructor, I not only teach the benefits of indoor cycling, but I also create challenging, fun rides that emphasize proper cycling techniques while improving muscular and cardiovascular strength. I love teaching indoor cycling and I am always gratified when students push themselves a little further every time they get on a bike.

At the age of seven, she started swimming and snowboarding, following in the same footsteps of her siblings. To keep busy in the summer months, she started to become involved in triathlons. She has represented Canada at the national and international level in competitive swimming. Hilary started indoor and outdoor cycling as a result of a shoulder injury and has loved it ever since. As a certified C.O.R.E. instructor, she enjoys the positive and motivating environment at Area Fitness. |

Having discovered Indoor Cycling, I was struck not only by the physical challenge but by the mental benefits as well. No matter how stressful life can get, you have an hour where you can escape and ride any road in the world or join the team in a group setting. Great music and its intrinsic link with the exercise make it challenging and demanding yet FUN! And I believe this is the key. If exercise becomes a chore, we are less likely to do it. As a personal trainer with certifications in various disciplines, Indoor Cycling remains my focus as, over the years, I have seen so many clients accomplish their goals on the bike.
