How long have you been riding at RISE Cycle?
K: since April 2024
B: Since June 2025

What inspired you to start spinning?
K: Spin was the first group fitness class I took while living in Vancouver. As a type-A girly, spin was the one workout that really allowed my brain to turn off and only focus on the music and the rhythm.

B: Katelyn convinced me to come out and I’ve been addicted ever since

How does spinning help you manage stress or other challenges in your life?
K: Spin keeps me motivated, challenges me (go through a 5 minute weight track with Dan or an attack followed by a fast jog with Mangos) and leaves me feeling more confident with my self daily. The fact I have the ability to move my body in a fun environment. Stress seems to normalize in these conditions and helps me focus on what matters most.

B: Working in a fast pace work environment, I have always had challenges staying focused on individual tasks and sometimes would become overwhelmed when challenges and problems would build up. Spinning has helped me start my day with energy, be more awake and have a more clear mind when starting my work days which has helped to problem solve more easily and prioritize tasks with a more clear mindset.

What’s your favourite thing about the spin studio?
K: I was genuinely blown away the second day I walked in during my 2 week trial and Andy had remembered my name. Followed by the fact I didn’t have to constantly ask for my shoe size. Staff remembered my dog’s name after one story. Rise goes truly above and beyond to create a community and to make you feel valued as part of it. The team not only gets to know you on a personal level, but learns and remembers what’s important to you, and celebrates your successes with you. Rise has celebrated our engagement, our milestones, our birthdays, and our wedding morning ride.

B: My favourite thing about the studio is the people. Each instructor brings their own flare and energy to each class which we love. Positive energy is contagious and I’m here for it!

We’re launching an October mini challenge.. Think you’re up for it? 👀

We had our instructors take a selfie post class to compare when they’re glammed and camera ready, to just a little sweaty 😅

The Queen East team just got a little sweeter 😇

Starting September 3, you’ll officially find Katie on the schedule! You can expect plenty of EDM, rap and hip-hop in class, with a little John Summit always welcome on the playlist.

Off the bike, you’ll probably find her grabbing a post-ride cappuccino or IPA. And a fun fact you’d never guess.. She spent her high school game days inside the mascot costume.

Katie’s mantra in and out of the studio is look around for energy, look inside for power ⚡️
