Emily was a group x instructor in the 90s and early 2000s but took a long hiatus while raising her family and working full-time as a schoolteacher. A few years ago, After taking a spin class, offered for teachers as a wellness incentive, Emily fell in love with spin and was inspired to become a certified spin instructor. Emily enjoys planning fun and engaging routines with upbeat, playlists that complement the terrain, intensity, and rhythm of the ride that motivate her participants to give their best effort. A relatively new instructor at SLS, she is so happy to be a part of such a warm and welcoming fitness community.
