In July, we opened our doors on a beautiful summer morning, jammed the studio and rocked the neighbourhood at 6 am. My dream of doing what I really love – helping and encouraging people get healthy in a fun, non intimidating environment, was in front of me and a little hard to believe. I can [...]
First Time Spinner
Posted 15 Dec in Cadence / No Comments
My first experience at Cadence Vancouver wasn’t a good one. It started out well enough. A couple of good friends, Donnie and Katie, had convinced my girlfriend, Cora, and I to try out spin in late October. I got on the bike, took about 5 minutes to figure out how to clip myself in, and [...]
It’s Already Been a Month!!
Posted 23 Aug in Cadence / No Comments
This month has completely flown by. Opening morning will stay with me forever. A packed house, music cranking, familiar friendly faces everywhere that were genuinely happy to see Cadence come to fruition. Wow. Getting emotional just writing about this. Crazy. To be honest the night before and the morning before class I was really nervous [...]
I guess I haven’t forgotten how to run

Since the BMO Marathon, I’ve really taken a huge step back from running for a number of reasons but the big one being I am teaching two spin classes a day. When I teach the classes, I don’t fake it so I am getting a pretty good workout as well. I’ve been curious over the [...]

I have been meaning to write this blog for two months now. The most common response I get from people when I tell them I have opened a Spinning studio in Vancouver is either excitement that there is a Spinning specific studio, or fear because they find the idea of attending a spin class [...]
Powered Mixer Over a year ago when I started to play with the idea of opening a Spinning studio in Vancouver, there were three key components that I knew were essential for the guests to have an awesome experience – great instructors, great sound and great bikes. In the initial stages of putting the studio [...]
I’ve been spending alot of time lately assembling cycling shoes for the studio. Offering shoes is another piece to the puzzle that will make the experience at Cadence different from any other Spin classes in Vancouver. I’ve taken the feedback from people who have been to other studios across North America & understand how [...]
Website launching tonight!
Posted 17 Jun in Cadence / No Comments
Finally after months of tweaking, the Cadence website is ready to go and will be launched tonight. I can’t say enough about my web designer, Lenny Ford from Mad Love Studio, and the work he has done over the past 3 or 4 months on this. He has been very patient with me and [...]
