Hi, I’m Valerie, a cycle instructor here at Radius! When it comes to fitness and working out, I consider myself a late bloomer. I started my fitness journey around 2017 at our local YMCA in Ohio where I lived before moving to Arizona in 2020. I found some fitness classes I liked and a welcoming community and fell in love with how I was feeling physically and mentally. So, when I found out the YMCA was looking for a cycle instructor, I thought to myself ‘why not give it a try, challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone!’ I was terrified! I had literally only taken ONE cycle class at the time, but I quickly became obsessed! When we moved to Arizona I was hoping to find the same kind of fun, friendly & comfortable atmosphere to continue on with my newfound fitness lifestyle. I was so excited when I found Radius, not only is it extremely close to where I live and work, but it was exactly what I was looking for! I became a member in 2021 and an instructor in 2022! Working out isn’t just about being physically fit but it’s also about being mentally fit and taking the time to do something positive for yourself! I’m so thankful for the small part I get to play in your journey! Let’s ride!

Hi! My name is Ashley! I am a newer cycle instructor but I’ve been taking classes for 10 years now. Cycle, in my opinion, is the best way to get cardio in! Riding to music you won;t won;t even notice you are sweating. The playlist in my classes is going to be unpredictable – Taylor Swift to unground techno, regardless we’re going to have fun and leave with those endorphins flowing!

Being active is my passion. I love all things outdoors like hiking, paddle boarding, running, and swimming. I discovered yoga in high school and have loved yoga as a tool to continually progress in my fitness journey and to support my active lifestyle.
I love helping others to improve wellness, strengthen their bodies, and to meet their goals. Come join me in class to work up a sweat and have some fun!

Hi! My name is Sarah and I teach cycle here at Radius. Unlike many of my colleagues, fitness has not always been prevalent in my life. I started working out at Radius almost a year ago to do something for myself and, in the process, found a community of supportive people who motivated me to keep coming back. I’m grateful I did because it got me where I am today. In my journey to a healthier me, I discovered my love of cycling. I found that I wanted to keep showing up each day to socialize with other people in my class and push myself to do better each time I got on the bike. I recently decided to take it further and get certified as an instructor. My goal is to do what other instructors did for me: show me what I’m capable of! So here I am! Ready to lead you on your journey to discover YOUR love of cycling!

Ten years ago, I walked into a Cycle room 40 pounds heavier, pre-diabetic, with high blood pressure, cholesterol, depression – – a medical emergency. Two years later at age 50, I emerged as “Cycle Michael.” Now the “Endorphin Dealer” I share my good fortune and otherworldly energy morning and night.

She is an AFAA Certified Personal Trainer, AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Certified RealRyder Cycle Instructor, NASM Certified Weight Loss Special Loss Specialist, Certified TPI Level 1 Golf Instructor, and Certified TRX Instructor and Level 1 Mat Pilates Instructor. Jennifer’s health and fitness journey began after the birth of her first son in 1996; she had gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Jennifer’s physician informed her she needed to begin exercising after her son was born and maintain a healthy weight to avoid developing diabetes when she got older. Jennifer hired a personal trainer, which made a huge impact on her life, helping her reach her goal weight. This life-changing decision led her to find her true passion which is health and fitness!!!

Jennifer’s certifications and qualifications brought her to a position at Anytime Fitness overseeing the development and management of numerous health clubs throughout the state. Jennifer was promoted to the Vice President of Operations and was in charge of all Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors. Jennifer decided to leave Anytime Fitness to be home with her family more.

Hi, my name Val Tanner and I’m excited to work for Radius. I have worked in the fitness industry for over 30 years. It has been so amazing to see the evolution of fitness progress over time!

I’m a certified fitness instructor through the US Air Force and ISSA, an AFAA certified cycling instructor and a certified paddleboard coach through the Paddlefit® Coaching System.

I discovered yoga over a decade ago while training for triathlons. Yoga became a great cross-training tool with swimming, biking, and running, and soon it found its way into all aspects of my life. Yogic breathing and how to use it during training and events helped me to finish 7 Ironmans and several marathons.After formalizing my yoga training (E-RYT500), I began teaching full-time for studios, fitness centers, military bases, and schools. I offer instruction in a variety of styles of yoga including Hatha, Restorative, Vinyasa, Yin, Kids, and Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga. I am also a Reiki II practitioner.

My name is Siobhan pronounced Sha-von, I came to my yoga mat almost 10 years ago due to a foot injury. As an ex competitive gymnast I was battling lower back pain at the same time due to lack of flexibility and yoga helped. I also found I was finally passionate about a form of exercise, yet yoga is so much more than exercise. Three years ago I undertook my 200 hour training to become certified and since then I have been teaching around the East Valley. What I love most about yoga is that every time I make my way to the mat I have a different experience, more often than not it humbles me. My favorite type of class and what I will be offering is a power vinyasa class, this class is meant to challenge but also know it is accessible. You are your own guide, modify, vary or find your way in this breath to movement practice. Meet me at Radius and make your way onto your mat. Namaste!

I spend many hours sequencing Vinyasa and Hatha flows as well as some beginner basics. I’d love to take you on a journey of following your heart and not being a slave to your mind.
