Amanda Smith
Studio Owner
Keiser certified cycling instructor
TRX® Qualified Instructor
My passion for cycling began nine years ago after I took my first class at Boston Sports Club in Franklin, Mass from Master Trainer, Cori Newcomb.
Upon moving back to Spirit Lake in 2013, I decided I wanted to teach, so I became Spinning® certified and began teaching at the YMCA. After developing a love for the Keiser brand bikes, I knew I wanted to also become Keiser certified and have never looked back.
While cycling is my passion, I also enjoy running, and outdoor biking, having completed multiple 1/2 marathons, a full marathon and finally a bucket list item - the Wisconsin 70.3 Ironman in June of 2018.
My biggest fans are my three beautiful girls:
Averi | Emersyn | Blake
and very patient husband, Brett.
Ashley Richter
TRX® Qualified Instructor
Ashley has always had a passion for being active - she uses what she learned from years of sports and being a collegiate volleyball player to push herself and others to go one step further to finding their edge.
You can expect a TRX class from Ashley to focus on physical and mental strength, believing that muscle engagement and proper alignment makes all the difference!
When not teaching classes, you can catch Ashley working her full-time job in the retail world at The Three Sons in Milford.
Most importantly, she is cheered on by her biggest fans - her husband, Brian and two adorable kiddos; Rowan and Sienna!

Mindy has been teaching yoga for 15 years, leading classes that build real strength, steady breath, and inner stillness. Expect a high-energy class with purposeful sequencing and an emphasis on alignment. I love helping students feel capable, confident, and strong in their own bodies.
Mindy has lived in Spirit Lake for 20 years with her husband Josh. Together they raised Simon & Libby who now reside in Ames…go Cyclones!
When not teaching or taking a class Mindy is an avid reader, loves to be near the lake and coaches SLHS Cheer.
