Amanda Wolfson - Personal Trainer and Indoor Cycling Instructor |
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.

I love to teach indoor cycling classes, using music, motivation and a huge dose of enthusiasm. Indoor Cycling is not only a great form of cardio; it strengthens your muscles, tones and gives you a great sense of wellbeing. The whole world looks better when we’re on our bikes! Watching my participants become stronger, more confident, leading healthier more vibrant lives is hugely rewarding and a joy to behold. I am an in-house personal trainer at Area, Connie has been a continuous role model and I hope I inspire her as much as she inspires me. The team is wonderful at the club, we are all passionate about creating a positive energy and healthier environment - come join us.|
