RIDER OF THE MONTH // CLAUDIA ⚡️
WHY DO YOU LOVE SPINCO OAKVILLE?
My love is probably most evident in my complete inability to have a conversation without somehow bringing it up. But truly, this studio has changed my life. I came here for a workout and somehow found a second home filled with some of the most incredible people (& pups) that make you feel seen, welcomed, and loved exactly as you are. We celebrate milestones, life wins, hard days, birthdays, and sometimes simply surviving the ride.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY RIDING WITH US?
From my very first ride that made me want to keep coming back (love you Carls), to riding the podium for each milestone 600 rides later, every chapter has meant something different to me. My 500th ride will always hold a big place in my heart. Riding on the podium and seeing all the people who had chosen to show up and celebrate me made me feel so strong, loved, supported, and unbelievably lucky. There are so many others I don’t have enough space to list.
WHAT HAS SPINCO TAUGHT YOU?
More about my own strength, resilience, and capacity than anything else (we really can do hard things). True strength goes beyond the bike, sometimes it’s simply showing up when you feel tired, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself. This place has taught me to trust myself, to take up space, and to stop underestimating what I am capable of. The confidence I have built on the bike has followed me into every other part of my life.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST MOTIVATING PART OF SPINCO?
It’s so much more than just a ride. There is nothing like finishing your first full ride, levelling up your weights, or realizing what seemed impossible has quietly become something you can do. Every challenge leaves me with a little more trust in myself, and Track 3 makes sure I never become too confident (IYKYK). But the people are what make that growth possible. There is something magical about being surrounded by riders and instructors who believe in you on the days you can’t quite believe in yourself. They always seem to know when to push you, remind you of your strength, or deliver the exact TED Talk you needed.
