From Flywheel Texas to Climbing the Mountains of the Tour de France

tour-de-france-lynn-main-02-580
“Riding the climbing stages of the Tour de France this summer brought on a whole new perspective in my role as indoor cycling instructor at Flywheel Plano.”

Flywheel Texas instructor Lynn Howard does not believe in excuses. A Manhattanite turned Texan, Lynn has always had a jam packed schedule. While living in NYC, she supplemented her Wall Street job as Managing Director at Knight Capital Markets with evening cycle classes at her local gym. She even went so far as spending her client entertaining budget on fitness activities, always preferring a workout over an alcohol-filled meal. Now, as a Flywheel instructor in Plano and Highland Park, she is continuing to fulfill her passion for adventure and training. This summer, she even challenged herself by riding the climbing stages of the Tour de France. Read Lynn’s inspiring story here: Continue Reading
