I've been a cycling instructor at Xtreme Fitness since March 2021, but my love for cycling started long before that! I joined the gym in 2019, and after COVID & a little convincing from Maria, I finally said yes to teaching and I'm so glad I did.
Cycling isn't just a workout to me; it's an experience. It challenges you, pushes you, and reminds you how strong you are. It's for everyone: from teenagers to adulthood, any size, any fitness level; you just have to give it a chance and find your rhythm.
Every class has its own energy, music, and vibe, and I love creating an atmosphere that's fun, motivating, and full of heart. Xtreme Fitness isn't just a gym for me; it's my family, and I love showing up every day to ride with my crew.
Started my healthy life journey in 2017. Consequently I have fallen madly in love with my journey. It has not always been easy but very much worth it. My relentless belief in working on myself mind, body and soul to become a better human.
Looking for a welcoming gym community, I joined Xtreme in 2023, with their HIIT classes. Shortly found a passion for cycling. This was challenging and new to me, but a whole vibe in itself.
I was asked by Maria to become an instructor. I was nervous, anxious and really didn't think I could do it. So I challenged myself and I became an instructor in 2025. I enjoy sharing my energy on the bike and truly appreciate my crew.
I truly love my gym family and motivating others. Truth be told, motivation is not always on my side, but discipline has always been there for me.
Hi there! I'm your cycling instructor, your resistance Queen at Xtreme Fitness Studio here in Madera CA. My whole life I've been a sporty girl; I love the group workout setting.
The love for indoor group cycling started back in 2005 at Bally's. I then found Xtreme Spinning & Fitness back in 2012 with Maria. This gym was like no other, family-oriented with the challenging classes and the fun atmosphere.
Never in my wildest dreams thought of being a cycling instructor until Maria asked me. She trusted that I was able to handle this, and finally in June 2019 I did my first class as an instructor. I fell in love with the energy, leading a class and instructing each member working out to all different genres of music.
My ultimate goal for my class is to have a really good workout, burn calories, make it challenging, help you climb those hills and do a little dancing! But most important thing I tell my class is you burn more calories and build more muscle when you smile and are having fun - ENJOY the ride!!
On a personal note, we moved to Madera, CA in 2000, making this our hometown. Been married for 29 years, blessed with 2 wonderful kids, and Gigi to our beautiful grandbabies - 2-year-old twins that we so adore and love so much.
I became a member of Xtreme Fitness in 2023, and this was the first time in my life that I was a member of a gym. My fear of failing prevented me from joining, but after hearing from other members, and upon meeting Maria, I realized that I had found the perfect place to start my fitness journey - this meant I needed to get out of my comfort zone.
I started working out and joined some classes. My goal was to be able to participate in the cycling classes which I saw as one of my biggest challenges. I started to attend the classes and realized that I love the energy, the encouragement, support and inspiration that everyone shared.
When I was approached by Maria about becoming a cycling instructor, I was hesitant and slightly terrified - this was going to be completely out of my comfort zone and the fear of failing started taking over. However, the support from everyone around me gave me the strength and determination to give it my best shot.
I started teaching the classes and now every week I look forward to my evening class where I can be surrounded by people who share the same determination, passion, and courage to get on the bike and try their best.
Xtreme Fitness has given me a whole new experience that has made me stronger not only physically but emotionally. The gym now is my safe space.
There was a time when I felt stuck—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I lacked direction and confidence, and I often found myself doubting what I was capable of. One day, I decided to make a change. I stepped into the gym, not really knowing what I was doing, but determined to start somewhere.
At first, it was humbling. The weights felt heavy, the workouts were exhausting, and progress seemed slow. But with every rep, I started to feel something shift—not just in my body, but in my mindset. I learned to embrace the grind, to show up on the hard days, and to celebrate small victories along the way.
Strength and conditioning became more than just exercise—it became my outlet, my therapy, and eventually, my passion. Over time, that passion grew into something bigger: coaching. Helping others experience the same transformation I went through has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.
Coaching gives me purpose—it's my way of giving back, of showing others that they're capable of so much more than they think. Now, training and coaching are both core parts of who I am. Every session reminds me that growth isn't just physical—it's mental, emotional, and deeply personal.
Strength and conditioning didn't just change my body; it changed my life—and now, I'm dedicated to helping others do the same.
