“As a Heart Attack Survivor, I Know I Was Given This Opportunity To Give Back.”

While your day may not always go according to plan, you know that one thing’s for sure – the minute you step into a Flywheel stadium, the instructor’s positivity and endless energy will take your mind off of everything else. A force of both inner and outer strength, the instructor often leaves us thinking, “how the hell do they do that?” Flywheel Philadelphia instructor Alanna Gardner’s past answers this very question. Alanna has overcome obstacles that many women her age couldn’t begin to imagine. A rare and undetected birth defect led to a massive heart attack that almost took her life at age 25. Rather than letting this sideline her, she was determined to fight through and become an athlete once again. With regained strength and a relentless spirit, Alanna not only challenges her riders, but encourages them to celebrate all that their bodies are capable of. Read her amazing story here.
