Alison Weir Spinning
® Instructor
Alison has worked in the fitness industry for almost 10 years and
holds certifications in aerobics, nautilus training and, her true love,
Spinning®. An elementary school librarian, Alison earned a BA in English
from Boston College as well as a secondary educating teaching certificate. She
loves children and dogs - especially Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers - reading,
cycling (for fun, nothing competitive!) hiking (but not camping!), walking her
dog Lola, spending time with her family and friends, shopping (which, she says,
becomes an aerobic activity in the right company! ) and music. Alison has been
an active Spinning program instructor for 6 years, and she loves the idea of
combining a high-intensity but low-impact workout with inspiring and motivating
music.

Nancy Plympton Spinning ® Instructor Nancy made aerobics and strength training a regular part of her lifestyle for 15 years before becoming an instructor in 2001. People who knew her back in her high school days can hardly believe this; she skipped gym class so many times she almost failed to graduate. But all’s well that ends well - she did graduate from high school, going on to receive a graduate degree in lighting design, and learning, along the way, to cherish her workout. As a certified Star 2 Instructor, Nancy has gone beyond the basic certification requirements and has taken her training “on a steeper climb”. She is a dedicated Spinning® coach, and especially enjoys mixing and editing music to create rhythmic rides for every level of student. Back to Top
