“My Dad Fostered My Love of Music”

In honor of Father’s Day, Flywheel Englewood instructor Marisa Kochnover shares her story…

Anyone who rides in my class will tell you that you are just as likely to hear Tupac as you are to hear Janis Joplin and a brand new beat from an amazing DJ that I found on SoundCloud. My eclectic taste in music not only defines my rides, but represents a huge part of who I am. I owe this all to my father, Ira Sallen, who fostered my love of music and taught me how to use it as a touchstone throughout my life. Continue Reading

everett_kyle_flyblog-main580

When Kyle Pollio and Philliip Terrell began dating nine years ago, no one would have considered them to be an “athletic couple.” Kyle, a professional opera singer and Phillip, a lawyer,  avoided fitness at all costs. However, six months ago, after befriending Flywheel Instructor Everett Moran, they were both convinced to give indoor cycling a try. Neither could have expected what would happen next. Not only have Kyle and Phillip experienced both mental and physical health improvements since discovering Flywheel, but their relationship has only gotten stronger (they are celebrating their anniversary today!). They’ve also found that their friendship with Everett and the team at Flywheel has become one of the most important relationships in their lives. Continue Reading

SPOTLIGHT ON LA’s Lacey Stone

lacey-stone-flywheel-580

Lacey Stone played sports her entire life, yet she never really knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. When she moved to New York City in her early 20s, Lacey was inspired by the trainers at her local gym who were turning fitness into a career.

A positive life force that believes in you no matter what.” We sat down with the LA Flywheel instructor who is notorious for her high-energy, inspirational and incredibly fun classes. Continue Reading
