Teresa

POPCYCLE, Founder/Owner
Instructor

POPCYCLE is the culmination of Teresa’s life journey to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. While creating POPCYCLE, Teresa has been able to marry her professional business experience with her passion– leading, motivating and connecting people through fitness and music.

Teresa was raised in Medford, New Jersey (don't ask her what exit she is from). Her Polish-immigrant grandparents owned a general store -Maple Mart- that she helped run on the weekends.That is where her desire to grow a business began. Teresa attended American University where she studied Law and Communications. She started her career at The White House then moving onto Capital Hill.Teresa eventually moved into the private sector leading advertising campaigns at Discovery Channel and for Fortune 500 companies. In 2004, Teresa founded a successful public relations and marketing practice serving clients in the D.C. region. 

Fast forward, a husband and two children later, she entered an exciting new chapter when founding POPCYCLE in 2017. Even after an industry-shattering pandemic, POPCYCLE stands strong. She prides herself on being resilient and hard-working. You will find Teresa genuinely connected to the POPCYCLE community each and every day. 

Please introduce yourself to “T” when you see her. Follow her on Instagram @teresalynnsie and @popcycleclub.

Kaitlyn

POPCYCLE, Instructor

Marrying fitness and music did not always come naturally to Kaitlyn. Growing up a swimmer and an avid book reader, a lot of her time was spent in quiet. It was during her college years at Penn State that Kaitlyn started attending group fitness classes and quickly learned the importance of music as motivation and ever since, she’s been driven by the rhythm!​

Continuing her passion for a healthy lifestyle post-grad, Kaitlyn started running, biking, lifting, and attending group fitness classes to keep herself motivated. Then in 2014, with a little convincing, she earned her Group Fitness Certification and has been teaching fitness classes ever since.

Kaitlyn works full time in human resources but you will be able to ride with her at POPCYCLE before work, after work, and even on weekends! When you ride with Kaitlyn, you’ll get hills, sprints, surges, jumps, attacks and more. But most importantly, you’ll get 50 minutes of heart pumping work with a party atmosphere. Kaitlyn wants every person to walk out with a smile on their face.

Kailee

POPCYCLE, Instructor

Being a POPCYCLE instructor is something that Kailee says she's thought about since her very first class four years ago. POPCYCLE is the place she truly feels at home each time she walks through the doors. Kailee puts her whole heart into each and every class she leads. Her enthusiasm is infectious!  ​

Kailee is currently studying to be a nurse. She is a firefighter and EMT and currently holds the title of Miss Virginia and competed in 2022 for Miss U.S.A where our entire community cheered her on in preparation for the event. Our POPCYCLE community is thrilled to have such a strong woman lead our classes. Kailee’s Sunday morning class is one of our most popular. We think it’s a combination of Kailee’s phenomenal rides and also the fun chats over coffee with our friends after class.

Abby

POPCYCLE, Instructor

Abby is a northern Virginia native who recently moved to the Leesburg area with her husband. As a former dancer, singer, and gymnast, she has long been hooked on spin, a workout that combines her love of music with getting a good sweat on (who doesn’t love that?!). 

She previously lived in D.C., where she taught spin for more than two years at an independent spin studio (aptly named ElectionCycle). That studio sadly closed down during the pandemic. Abby was eager to get back on the bike, and she knew from the first time she walked into POPCYCLE that it was a special place. She immediately fell in love with the studio and the community!

A good sweat session on the bike can completely transform Abby’s day, and she aims to bring positive vibes to every class. Abby hopes you leave her classes feeling like you can take on the world. When she’s not on the bike, you’ll find Abby walking her corgi puppy around downtown Leesburg or sipping coffee (or wine!) with a book in hand. Let’s Ride Happy together! 

Olivia

POPCYCLE, Instructor

Born and raised in Washington state, Olivia is a west-coaster at heart. After graduating from Gonzaga University with her nursing degree, Olivia moved to the East Coast to become a pediatric nurse. She lives in Reston with her husband and golden retriever.

Olivia’s passion for fitness started in college after attending many yoga and HIIT group fitness classes. Finding so many benefits to consistent cardio for her physical, mental, and spiritual health, Olivia made it a goal to one day instruct.

Fast-forward to now. A certified indoor cycling and group fitness instructor, Olivia’s passion is encouraging you to consistently come and ride, finding the “why” behind your fitness journey, and taking time on the bike for self-care. You’ll leave her POPCYCLE classes feeling empowered and inspired to keep pursuing not only your fitness goals but your life goals too.
