THANK YOU TO OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS!! We are so grateful for all of the doctors, nurses, and first responders who are working tirelessly to keep all us safe and healthy.
We talked to three of our frequent riders (between the three of them, they have over 750 rides!) who are working on the front lines.
Read MoreSteph opened SPARKCYCLE in La Jolla almost exactly 6 years ago and by doing so has positively impacted so many people’s lives.
Her love of indoor cycling and vision has translated into the ultimate intangible: community. You can feel her support and compassion whether you’re in her class or just around her and we’re so fortunate to have her at the root of SPARK.
Read MoreKatie was at SPARK basically every day before this pandemic hit, and things have been pretty different in the last month and a half. Read a little about what her day looked like before this/what she’s been up to now and maybe get some podcast and book recommendations.
Read MoreEven though Danny hasn’t taught for the last few months, he’s still very much part of our team and of course in every single class in spirit. Danny has been in North Carolina with his wife awaiting her surgeries for a rare medical condition. He talked to us about what they’ve been going through and his advice for staying at home.
Read MoreWe caught up with Abby who is still working her job in public relations, though with adjustments. She works in travel PR and gives some great tips on how to travel and still explore destinations without leaving your house.
Read MoreJorydn joined our team last year and fit in instantly. She’s spent this time focusing on herself and building her own brand, a bodyweight call called JBDOY. We talked to her about that, what she eats in a day, and of course, her everyday makeup routine (because if you know Jordyn, you know her love for makeup).
Read MoreCourtney has been teaching at SPARK almost since the beginning — she joined the team in early 2015, less than a year after we opened. After teaching fitness full time for a number of years, Courtney has been pursuing her dream of teaching and teaches 1st and 2nd grade special education but we’re lucky that she still brings her positivity and love to us on the weekends.
Read MoreWe talked to Lily, who in addition to teaching at both studios, also works a full time job in sales. She just got back from a much-needed weekend with her (very athletic) family and we heard all about her (also very athletic) background and how she got into cycling.
Read MoreSean is our resident self care expert and we got his recommendations on how to come out of this looking our best (and tannest). Read through his responses for how to come out of this with your best hair and skin.
Read MoreJordan helped open Liberty Station back in 2017 before moving to the east coast. She moved back to San Diego in February, only for this pandemic to sweep the world. She’s back in Florida (just for now) qurantining with her parents and we talked to her there. As you’ll quickly see, Jordan is one of the coolest, most motivating, and genuine people and we loved hearing from her and majorly related to what she shared.
Read MoreToday we’re talking to McClaren! As both our Liberty Station manager and and an instructor, McClaren has had her schedule totally flipped. As we work through our fourth week of this stay-at-home order, we talked to her about her new schedule, some at-home workouts, and a couple healthy smoothies to make.
Read MoreYou can now shop safely from the comfort of your home and find our essentials for everything from streaming a workout to literally anything else.
Read MoreWe’re starting out the week talking to one of our team members who is still working her full time job, just under very different circumstances. When she’s not on the podium, MORGAN is the store manager of lululemon on Girard (around the corner from our La Jolla location) and even though the store is closed, she’s working harder than ever to stay in communication with her team and (virtually) connect.
Read MoreWe caught up with Lindsay. And by caught up – we actually caught her on a layover. When Lindsay isn’t teaching at SPARKCYCLE, she’s literally in the air. Lindsay is a flight attendant and spends most of the week flying (still…we’ll get to that) but answered some flight attendant FAQs on a layover. If you’ve taken her class, you know she is super upbeat and friendly and when you combine that with her love of travel, we think being a flight attendant is the prefect job for her (obviously in addition to teaching at SPARKCYCLE).
Read MoreToday we’re talking to Kellie. There are really no words to fully capture Kellie and her passion for connecting with people. Since joining our team as we opened Liberty Station in 2017, Kellie has grown into our instructor trainer and a leader in our community. If you’ve taken her class you’ve felt her passion firsthand and we can think of multiple times when Kellie has evoked some major emotions in class. A lululemon ambassador, cancer fighter, and most importantly, awesome person, Kellie inspires us everyday and is sharing a little bit about her background with us today.
Read MoreWe’ve gotten lots of questions about whether we’ll be renting out our bikes during this time. We won’t be, but we wanted to share a little bit into why we’re not.
Read MoreUp today: Ben! Ben’s smile is never bigger than it is up on that podium and his joy radiates throughout the room. (Have you ever taken a class that he just rides in? Highly recommend.) We caught up with Ben while he’s social distancing all the way in Kansas.
Read MoreToday we’re celebrating Hananiah’s special day and getting to know him a little bit better. Hananiah just walked through our doors one day a year and a half and asked if we were hiring for the front desk. Hananiah is our resident baseball-hat-wearing, up-for-everything, kind-hearted instructor and we wanted to know a little bit more about him and his background.
Read MoreThis is an extra special one because not only is Vanessa one of our longest-tenured instructors, it’s also her birthday! Vanessa is a powerhouse on the bike and brings her contagious energy to every class. But you already know that. What you may not know is that Vanessa has followed a plant-based lifestyle for nearly a decade and is sharing some of her experiences and favorite foods with us here.
