GLOWcycle's Marketing Specialist

Hi, my name is Colleen Crandall. I moved to Sturbridge a year ago and once I discovered GlowCycle I was hooked!

As someone who has played sports her entire life, I love the culture of GlowCycle and everything the different coaches and classes have to offer. When I'm not at the gym, I am a producer in Boston for a production company -- working on commercials, films, and social media content for brands both big and small. I'm excited to be part of the GlowCycle fam and continue to grow this community!

Charice is a Certified Spinning Instructor, 500-hour Certified Yoga Teacher, Group Fitness Instructor and LiveStrong Trainer. She is currently working towards becoming a Certified Yoga Therapist. Her goal is to support people on their health and wellness journey by helping them access the strength and resilience within themselves while having a little fun. And, as a Pan-Mass participant the past few years, she just might try to convince you to hop on a road bike and join her outside the studio for a few (or a few more) miles. When not teaching or out riding, she is either busy with her Graphic Design & Marketing business or perhaps out on a hike with her husband and dog.

Alli lives in Charlton with her husband, 3 yr old daughter and newborn son. She has been teaching spin and a variety of group exercise classes for over 12 years! Spin fusion is her absolute favorite class to teach, combining cardio and strength. In her classes, music is everything - Alli works really hard to create a great playlist for every class which will keep you motivated and dripping in sweat.

Alli's favorite part of teaching is watching people get stronger and more confident throughout their fitness journey. She loves how a good workout makes herself feel and loves sharing this with others. There can never be a bad day at the gym - you must love yourself enough to take care of YOU! Look forward to seeing you in class!
 

Kate has been teaching group exercise and yoga since 2008. She has a bachelors degree in Kinesiology and a masters degree in Exercise Science and Sports Studies. She is an ACSM certified exercise physiologist, and AFAA group fitness instructor, a Keiser indoor cycle instructor, and a 200-hour certified yoga teacher. She loves teaching a variety of group exercise formats, including indoor cycle, HIIT, bootcamp, TRX, kettlebells, yoga, BOSU, strength training, and more.

Melissa found a love for spinning quite a few years ago but became a regular at GLOWcycle when the studio opened. Melissa is a lifelong college athlete, originally from Western Massachusetts. She holds a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice from Westfield State University and has been a full time police officer for the last 6 years. In her free time she enjoys spending time outdoors with her three labs, golfing, time with family, and days off in Wells Maine. 

Melissa truly believes that life is all about balance and is here to help you achieve or maintain your fitness goals!

Alyssa started spinning with us our first summer open and instantly fell in love! She has been active her whole life, playing sports throughout high school and found a love for working out in college! She previously was a dancer and never turns down a pick up sports game of any kind!

She graduated from Bryant University in May of 2022 with a bachelors in Business Administration, and double minors in Psychology and Communication. She currently works full time in sales at Dell Technologies.  

In her free time she loves to go camping, golfing, shopping, fishing-really anything outside with friends and family!

She is so, so excited to start teaching at the studio that has made her fall in love with spin and the community it created!

Catch Sue covering some PM classes here and there!

 Patti first walked into the studio back in the spring of 2023, nervous and extremely out of shape. She attended a few classes, but was still unsure if spin was something she could commit to personally because it was so outside of her comfort zone. In July of 2023, she signed up for the unlimited monthly trial to see if she would stick with it and since then, she has continued to go back week after week for the last year, personally taking over 200 classes.
She has been an Emergency Telecommunicator for the Town of Sturbridge since 2015, handling all emergent and non-emergent communications for Police, Fire, EMS and 911. Working a sedentary desk job and long hours has always been physically and mentally taxing on her body. To say GLOW Cycle has changed her life would be an understatement. Every class and coach is different, amazing and continues to challenge her and help her on her fitness journey, assisting in an 80 pound weight loss. Commitment and consistency, paired with slow and steady progress and going outside of her comfort zone has made her a stronger and healthier individual.
When not at work or at the studio she enjoys time with her family and friends. Her Fiancé Trevor and her are avid Bruins fans and try to attend as many concerts as possible. They also have a 7 year old dog, Chopper, who is their everything, and loves hunting and going out on the boat fishing.
She is beyond grateful at this opportunity to start coaching; not only to grow as an individual, but to help, inspire and encourage everyone that comes into the studio. Step outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself, she promises you are capable of doing hard things!

4 years ago, Megan started teaching group fitness. She first became certified in TRX and HIIT. Her interest in group classes has continued to evolve and grow. She started taking classes at GLOW Cycle in December and was hooked right away. She loves that you really get out what you put into it. There are days she might be ready to challenge herself and days where she needs to make things a little less difficult. The classes at GLOW are made for you to get out what you need to that class, you choose your own path. She need group fitness classes to hold her accountable, push her along the way and encourage her to keep going. Each instructor at GLOW Cycle is slightly different and has their own unique style. She knows her style of teaching will incorporate many of her favorite moves and music but don’t worry she will include the moves she is not a huge fan of too. She am really excited to get started. She know others will fall in love with her super fun class. Her classes are for all levels so don’t be afraid to try something new!
When Megan is not riding on a bike, or out raising money for UConn where she works as the Sr. Director of Development for the School of Business you will find her in a hockey rink, on the side of a lacrosse field, or at the 18th hole cheering on one of her four kids. Her husband, Matt and her both grew up in Sturbridge. They are fortunate to raise our four teenage children, Sam, Will, Jane and Rose in such a supportive community. She also volunteers with several organizations, as well as continue to serve for the Tantasqua School Committee. 
 

Carrie started coming to spin in April of 2023, and instantly fell in love! She remembers driving by one day and happened to notice the studio, and the rest is history. You’ll usually catch her in a morning class 
Originally from Springfield, she moved to Charlton a few years back, and currently work as an emergency dispatcher for the town. Dispatching can be stressful and is a veeeery sedentary job. Spin has been such a great outlet for her and has kept her active!
In her free time, she is usually spending time with her fur baby, Charlie. She also like to spend as much time outdoors as possible, hiking and dabbling in nature photography. She is level II Reiki attuned and loves all things ‘woo-woo’ (if you know, you know)
