Cycle Fit


This class is taught by:

Kim Bacon

With 20 years as a certified Spin instructor and recently attaining Stages certification, I specialize in creating high energy music driven classes that leave riders feeling empowered and accomplished. My passion lies in utilizing rhythm and fitness to foster a motivating environment where everyone can push limits, have fun, and leave stronger.

Juli Kaplan

 About Juli: I have always loved being active and working out in a gym. I started teaching Spin, then Stages Cycle in 2006, and Body Pump then MOSSA Power in 2010. I love teaching a strength class then a cardio class right after, giving members nearly 2 hours of conditioning their bodies to be strong, toned, and fit.

When I’m not at the gym my hobbies are playing tennis, pickle ball, and hiking in the mountains around Sierra City where I grew up.

Kathy Dotson

Kathy Dotson’s fitness journey began in a 1980s SoCal aerobics studio alongside her mom—think tights, headbands, and leotards. Inspired by those energetic instructors, she knew one day she'd lead classes herself.
Years later, after joining South Yuba Club in Nevada City, Kathy reluctantly tried her first Spinning class—thinking it was some kind of dance class—but was instantly hooked. As the workout transformed her body and mindset, she decided to become an instructor.
With a knack for crafting great playlists, Kathy got certified through the Madd Dogg Spinning program in 2012 and began teaching at SYC. Known for her motivating energy and music-driven rides, she combines drills, metrics, and intervals for an effective and fun workout.
Kathy teaches Cycle Fit, Stages Gauges, and a cycle/core combo class. Off the bike, she enjoys time with her husband and two daughters, works as a graphic designer and political activist, and loves catching live music.

Kurt looks forward to sharing his cycling experience with South Yuba Club members and help to evolve the indoor cycling program.
A great class for all levels of riders from the new participant venturing into the room for the first time to the experienced rider looking to work hard. This fun class is self paced with the potential to burn for those seeking it. Ride to the rhythm and enjoy some beautiful scenery on videos playing in the background.
