about
With over ten years of experience in the fitness world, I started in boutique fitness on a spin bike. I now own and operate DDB Fitness, which offers personal training, and founded sweatconnected in response to COVID-19. Right after gyms closed in NYC, I took my classes online. As business grew, it became clear that it was possible to recreate the magic of group fitness online.
For me, fitness is much more than a workout. It is community. It is release. I believe in the power of fitness to be transformative and FUN. My goal is to spread joy with each pedal stroke (or burpee) and I can’t wait for you to be a part of the journey.
My greatest accomplishments are my two boys, Hudson & Arlo, to which I give half the credit to my incredible husband Robbie.

about
As a former dancer, movement and music has always been a driving force in my life. I found indoor cycling after the birth of my daughter and was immediately hooked. I was so drawn to the bike that I left my former career as a corporate event planner to get certified and begin teaching.
Prior to joining sweatconnected, I was Master Instructor with one of the nation’s largest and most successful indoor cycling studios. With over ten years of experience teaching group fitness, my goal is to bring a fun mix of energy, passion and intensity to each of my classes. I can’t wait to see you in class!

After 15 years of a career in theater and dance, I found my passion for indoor cycling. After my first class knew this was my next adventure! Following my passion for cycling I became a master instructor at one of the leading companies in fitness. I’ve taught coast to coast for the past 6 years.
In my classes you will find fun upbeat music with a mix of throwbacks and things you’ve never heard. My classes are motivating, Intense, challenging but always a great time. I look forward to us riding together!

about
I discovered my love of indoor cycling after my first daughter was born. Having a place to escape, to find myself again and becoming a part of an amazing community meant everything to me. After my second daughter was born, I decided I needed to help people find what I had found. I became certified to teach in 2010 and there my career as an indoor cycling instructor began. From my first day on that podium, I knew that I had found what I was meant to do.
From boutique studios, to gym studios, to Flywheel, I have spent the last 11 years following my passion by creating that same safe space I needed and found for myself, for other people to tune out their noise, lose themselves listening to music and sweat it out together. Teaching indoor spin has always been more than a cycling class to me. The energy of that feeling is what drives me to bring that joy and elation each and every time I teach. I love watching my riders discover their power. In my classes you’ll find an infectious energy fueled by my LOVE of music. It will distract you from the challenging ride I have created especially for you!
