✨Instructor Highlight✨
“Hey CycleBar family! I’m Val, a born-and-raised Southern California girl who traded sunshine for the vibrant energy of Nashville six years ago. And let me tell you, it’s been an amazing ride! I’ve been leading the pack here at CycleBar for almost five years, and it’s truly become a passion of mine.
Fitness is my happy place! While CycleBar holds a special spot in my heart, you’ll also find me running, flowing in hot yoga, or finding my center in reformer Pilates.
By day, I dive into the fast-paced world of advertising, where creative pitches and deadlines are my jam. But my real joy comes from spending time with my incredible hubby, Keith, a high school teacher and my biggest supporter in all things fitness. We also have a daredevil stepson who’s always on the go, whether it’s conquering video games or perfecting his basketball skills. And let’s not forget our sweet 12-year-old Chiweenie, Finley!
When I’m not at CycleBar, you’ll find me hanging out with my family, indulging in some reality TV (don’t judge!), or losing myself in music. I love to travel and explore new culinary adventures, whether it’s trying street food abroad or savoring Nashville’s local flavors. I’m also a huge book nerd, and I still love to hit the slopes for snowboarding and catch some waves back in SoCal.
Music is my fuel! You’ll hear a mix of Hip Hop, EDM, and Trap Rap in my classes, with a dash of Pop and Rock to keep things interesting. Lately, I’ve been bumping GloRilla’s “Whatchu Kno About Me” and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Where Them Girls At.”
My advice to my younger self? Embrace the failures! They’re your greatest teachers. Life’s not always smooth, but every challenge is an opportunity to grow and come back stronger.
What I love most about being a CycleBar instructor is the people! I’m passionate about helping you discover your inner strength and build confidence with every ride.
Let’s ride together and make every workout count!”
