I was about 20, and while there wasn’t some big turning point moment, I just got sick of being the odd man out. Once I got to college, thanks to a vegetarian diet, yoga, and having more control over what I ate, I lost about 200 pounds over six years. I always struggled with weight because I grew up in the south where we show love with food-and I love to eat. At my largest before college, I weighed about 400 pounds. I played sports but had more of a lineman body than a quarterback. I love going wild on a stationary bike to my favorite songs!
For me personally, I fell in love with indoor rhythm-based cycling classes. Reason for Cycling: I lost most of my weight by dieting at first, and cycling was how I fell in love with exercising by building on what I was able to do through dieting. Occupation: Spin instructor at CycleBar also work as a server and in retail Hometown: Midway, Kentucky (currently living in Chicago, Illinois)
