Maureen is a person who is passionate about fitness, and fully believes in its benefits, both mental and physical! She got into cycling a few years ago when she could no longer run (her first true-love in terms of cardio) due to a knee injury she sustained. So, to sustain the mental and health benefits she personally achieves from fitness, she turned to cycling, an activity she enjoyed so much that she decided to become an AAA-ISMA certified instructor! Maureen feels cycling is an exercise that people of all ages and abilities can thoroughly enjoy and benefit from! She enjoys creating classes to fit any and all abilities, whether you’re a first-time rider or just finished the iconic Tour-De-Shore.

Meet Rita
Meet Rita
In 2014, I started a health journey that led to shedding some weight through a lot of endurance training and yoga. After getting tired of running, I decided I needed a new routine in my life which led me to my first indoor cycling class and the rest is history! During the school year, I teach high school students at Neumann-Goretti. When I am not on a bike, I am spending time with my family and friends or hanging out with my dog, Frankie. Quarantine allowed me to make time and accomplish my goal of becoming a certified cycling instructor. I look forward to making every ride a party with great sing along music that sets every rider up for success in the class and beyond with contagious positivity!
