"Don't just let your life happen, dance with it"

A Spin Énergie regular for the past 3 years, you might have caught Brandon front row living out his sexy corners with pride. When the music is on, you will find Brandon moving; and when it stops, he is probably still going ! For Brandon, dance is therapy !
Brandon spent 3 years working as a marketer in the beauty industry, where spin quickly became the best of part of his day. He recently left the corporate life to pursue an entrepreneurial venture of his own - Happy Tears - a brand of colorful, customizable backpacks designed to bring more happiness into daily life. Linked directly to how he lives his life, for Brandon, happiness is a lifestyle born out of following his heart in everything he does. Like a true Canadian, 7 years of hockey in his Northern Ontario hometown alongside 2 half-marathons and a one year stint in hip hop classes, get ready for massive climbs and dancy choreography. Brandon doesn’t want you to just shine, he wants you to SPARKLE while you find your truth in the music !
Jenna

Jenna

Jenna grew up in Morewood a small town in Ontario. Her dad being a drummer, her earliest memory was to learn how to tap rhythms with her hands on the kitchen table. Growing up she had two passions: Dancing and horseback riding. Dancing Quickly took over and she decided to turn her love into a career. She went on to attend a Fine Arts high school in ballet and modern dance. Luckily for us, L’école De Danse Contemporaine De Montréal brought her to town a few years ago and she proudly graduated this year. Always looking to expend her physical abilities, last summer, she went to Spain for 2 weeks for a contemporary dance intensive which brought together 150 artists from around the world. She is excited to be working on her own dance projects while joining the Spin Énergie family. She believes that in order to change the world you have to start with yourself. For Jenna, dancing and fitness is a way to challenge and better who you are. She hopes to communicate her joy for movement to everyone coming to her class!
Linda

Linda

An avid road cyclist Linda has a background in dance and Gymnastics. Her love for sports and house music got her to teach aerobic classes for years before taking her first spinning class. She was so inspired by the instructors and the energy of the class that she was hooked immediately. When the instructors left, she made the leap from rider to instructor and took over her class. Her drive ever since has been to inspire people to fall in love with indoor-cycling just like she did. You’re in for a challenging ride!
Hugo

Hugo

Originally from Colombia, Hugo arrived in Qc at 15. A sports addict for as long as he can remember, he started rollerblading at age 4. His passion brought him to compete in roller-blade speed skating and once in Montreal, to try other sports as cross country and obstacle races, soccer, hockey, rock climbing and others which have fuelled his love for sports. Biking has always been part of his training and becoming a spin instructor has been a long-time goal. For Hugo, Fitness and health is a way of life and the foundation of everything. Kinesiologist from McGill, he has decided to return to school to study Dentistry. Who knows what surprises he will come with later! His love for the Latin dance and music will make you move to the rhythm of passion. Don't be surprised of learning some spanish in his class!
Lucy

Lucy

Lucy is deeply curious and passionate about movement. She is always trying to find joy and pleasure whether it is dancing, on the bike or walking down the street. She believes staying physically and mentally healthy makes people feel empowered in every aspect of their lives.

She is a dancer and sociologist, originally hailing from the U.S. and France. When she isn't spinning she's writing and researching about dance, embodiment, art advocacy and education. Lucy has performed and presented work in festivals such as Montreal’s Nuit Blanche and the Festival International du Film Ethnographique de Québec (FIFEQ) and currently volunteers and teaches dance at the Yellow Door Art Hive.

She started spinning because it is an intense but playful way of staying in shape-- "the Spin Energie family works hard and plays hard together, and it pays off." She is exciting about hosting her own party.
Ludovic

Ludovic

Passionate about movement, Ludovic is always on the move. You’ll find him running around Montreal taking yoga and dance class and of course, on the bike. Pop alternative and R&B is the current soundtrack of his life. Nothing like Panic at the disco and Kelly Clarkson to cheer him up Originally from Quebec city, he attended high school in Florida and Connecticut. He then eventually moved to Montreal at the age of nineteen to attend Concordia University where he studied industrial and graphic design. He studied dance at Ballet Divertimento where he worked with renowned choreographers such as Owen Montague from the National Ballet of Canada. He also attended the Royal Conservatory of Scotland under the guidance of Fabrice Maufrais. He discovered Spin Énergie one winter and fell in love with the combination of dance, music, and movement of the class. He is eager to share his love of fitness and music with the rest of the community.
Mylène

Mylène

Mylène first stepped foot in the studio over 3 years ago, and spinning quickly became one of her passions, along with music and movement. Pedaling allows Mylène to be, at times at her strongest, but also at her most vulnerable. Once she gets on the bike, she is able to let go of everything that is going on outside of the studio. Her love of yoga inspired her to become a certified teacher of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, and Mylène recently became an ambassador for Lululemon Montreal. Her dedication to the community inspires us. It’s the music, the choreography and the group’s energy that lights her up. We cycle with her to sweat, to get out of our heads, but especially to reconnect to our bodies.
Yannick

Yannick

Yannick has already been part of the Spin Énergie community for the past two years. You probably have seen him around or perhaps it was his identical twin brother. Yannick has an enormous amount of energy, and sports and physical activities are not just a passion but a necessity. He is currently working in hotel management while pursuing international studies. Traveling and discovering the world is part of his DNA and he always seeks to push his own limits. After many half marathons, his ultimate High is the combination of music and adrenaline. It never fails to make him want to go the extra mile. He’s a self-proclaimed électro acoustic music lover and a fan of the Montreal band The Franklin Electric. You will be hooked by his playlist and his positive personality. His work out will make you beg for more.
William

William

William is the latest addition to the Spin Family.

Outside of spinning he has found his calling in helping to save the environment. He is currently studying International Business at Concordia University in order to have the biggest impact on this issue he possibly can.

His father introduced him to the joy of music very early on, spending his mornings listening to Bob Marley since before he was even born. He has always loved to play instruments and dance. Playing the piano since he is 5 years old and dancing before he could even walk. He discovered us last summer and it was love at first ride. For him the experience of letting lose to the beat of the music, out of a good sound system, in a room full of great people is by far the most amazing way to get the daily cardio in.

After his first time at Spin Énergie he decided to do what it takes to become an instructor. He has been training all summer and is ready to take you with him on a musical journey. One you will enjoy going through and of which you will come out proud.
