After finding immediate enjoyment in the cycling world, he was eventually challenged by his husband to take the bike by the horns and move into instructing. This invitation put him on a path to teaching here at Rideologie. Alex’s 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. Alex will always bring a challenge to you physically, but also provide moments of connection, body and soul

Lauren
Lauren - "Treat others the way Chick-fil-A treats you." - a wise person -Lauren Chapman
Born and raised in Utah, Lauren hails from Kaysville and is proud to call it her hometown for the past 23 years! She was introduced to the passion of road cycling by her dad and has loved every minute of spending time with him and creating memories into adulthood. Although new to the cycling world, Lauren instantly fell in love with the sport and Rideologie community. Having an outgoing personality to perform and speak in front of people, she knew she wanted to someday get on the platform and lead a ride herself. Lauren believes that music is the most integral part of any workout and being an amateur violinist and vocalist herself music has always carried her in the big rollercoaster of life. A hairdresser by trade turned preschool teacher, Lauren momentarily switched careers to be a part of her 4 year old son’s early education milestones and loves watching him thrive. She has been with the love of her life for the past ten years and is grateful for his unconditional love and support through her ambitious adventures. When you clip into the bike in Lauren’s class she asks that you abide by two rules: First that you don’t compare yourself. Everyone had to start somewhere and the Rideologie community is a family who supports and uplifts each other during our workout and beyond. Second is that you walk out feeling more bad ass than when you entered. Lauren will motivate you to push yourself past your limits but you have to show up as well.
Guilty pleasure: Chick-fil-A
Favorite artist: can’t pick one but queen of 90s and 00s throwbacks to sing along with
Favorite move: around the worlds and tab backs

I have my mom to thank for instilling a passion for always being active... running, swimming, riding, you name it.

I can't wait to ride with you all and bring that passion and energy to my class, that and some heavy hills!

Lilah
Lilah - “a women who knows what she brings to the table is not afraid to eat alone”
I am 21 years old and currently a senior at the University of Utah. I am currently studying Kinesiology/Community Health with a minor in nutrition. I am passionate about all things health and fitness and love to share my passion with others. I love spin because it allows me to forget about everything else going on. It gives me 45 minutes to breath, listen to music, catch a beat and move my body…it doesn’t get much better than that! I would describe my style on the bike as powerful, yet care free. I love to just feel the beat and vibe out! My favorite move on the bike is tap to push! my favorite music is edm or pop and my favorite artist is Justin Bieber, duh ;) My guilty pleasure is definitely Crumbl cookies!!! Nothing is more satisfying than opening that pink box!
Amy
Amy - Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it.
Amy grew up in Salt Lake and went to the University of Utah. She then moved with her husband to Northern California for a few years and then to Arizona for 6 years. A couple years ago she moved back to Utah because she missed the seasons but was sad to find there were no spin studios around! Amy is so excited for Rideologie and excited to be teaching spin. Amy loves to workout and spinning has become one of her favorite things to do. Finding the right songs for a spin workout makes all the difference. Amy has been taking spin classes for 4 years and just over a year ago got her own bike at home that she loves to create new routines on. Amy loves spinning, singing, Jillian Michaels workouts, her husband and three girls, the beach, Sweaty Betty, and good food!

Ivy has found her dream job in Utah working for the nonprofit, Girls on the Run, which inspires young girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident. After finishing her collegiate track and field career, she searched for a new identity as an athlete, and has found that in the ride room! She strives to create a safe and fun space for you to push yourself and be your awesome self, just as you are.

Amy M.
Amy M. - It's a great day for a great day!
I grew up in Tampa Florida where I first fell in love with spinning! I moved to Utah in December (pro tip.. don't move to a cold place in the dead of winter). There were no spin studios when I first moved here, then I found Rideologie when I moved to Salt Lake. It was the first place I felt like home & quickly became addicted to the community dynamic Rideologie offers. I've been spinning for a little over 10 years. I love to get lost in the music. You'll often find me singing along to my playlists (don't worry I try not to belt them into the mic)! I love to have a great time and meet new people. I've met some of my very favorite people in the ride room. My classes are all about having fun while maximizing your workout! When I'm not at the studio you can find me at the pool or in the mountains. I love to swim and hike or anything outdoors really!
Jane
Jane - The goal is not to be better than the other man, but your previous self." - The Dalai Lama
Hi! My name is Jane, and I first started spinning back in 2017 when Rideologie first opened. It was the only spin studio in Salt Lake at the time, and continues to be the best! I fell in love with the energy created in the spin room. Finding community, a great workout, and learning along the way had me hooked on spin. I love to ride because each class gives you the opportunity to leave stronger than when you came in; whether mentally, emotionally or physically. Rideologie has been my happy place from day one. Favorite Move on the Bike: Hover Combos & Standing Sprints Guilty Pleasure: Jalapeno Cheetos… don’t knock 'em till you try ‘em! Favorite Artist: Off the bike: Twenty One Pilots.

Taylor
Taylor - "People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But, people will never forget how you made them feel" --- Maya Angelou
Taylor is a 23 extroverted optimist, foodie, Beyhive member, hip hop lover, dog person, movie critic, travel enthusiast, and occasionally I have my witty moments. I thrive off of the energy of others, and I always try to foster an environment that promotes warm and fun vibes for everyone around.
I attended my first spin class my sophomore year at the University of Utah, and I haven’t looked back since. I fell in love with the energy, music, and the intensity of the challenging routines that were different every class. Also, I had the best instructor who inspired all aspects of my life and is the main reason I pursued this path of becoming an instructor myself. My goal is to simply support those around me on their journey for a healthier and happier life!
Favorite move on the bike: Alternating Hills and Sprints
Favorite music artist: Beyoncé (NO competition here. But, I have a very eclectic music taste, so I will implement all types of music into my classes… Besides country. Sorry K Bull 93 fans.)
Guilty Pleasure: A Hires Big H, rootbeer freeze, anything chocolate (especially brownies), salt & vinegar chips, a binge worthy Netflix series, and sweatpants…
