Robin has had a long run in professional sports, competing at the highest level in Women’s Cycling. Towards the end of her career, she wanted to broaden her scope by learning about wine, food, and travel. Over the last 10 years, she has focused on learning different facets of the wine industry through her studies in the WSET program, where she is a Diploma candidate and holds her Professional Wine Educators Certificate. She also loves her community and is heavily involved.
In her spare time, Robin loves being outside riding bikes, playing Pickleball, being active, and spending time with her partner, Kurt, and her GSP Lucy.
She lives in Nevada City, CA, but is originally from Nashville, TN, where she still has family roots.
Health and Fitness is her true passion, and she loves sharing her energy and knowledge with the members of South Yuba Club.

Fitness training has been a priority in my life since my early thirties when I became interested in triathlon racing. Balancing my daily training with a demanding Veterinary profession was a challenge. To make the most efficient use of my daily training time, I used a heart rate monitor to identify my optimal training zones. By training efficiently, I was able to qualify for and complete the Kona Hawaiian Ironman in both 1986 and 1987.
I continued competing in triathlons for the next 20 years, retired from my Veterinary practice in 2000 and made fitness training my full-time job. Because of my background in cycling and triathlon, I was chosen as a Master Spinning Instructor by Madd Dogg Athletics and traveled the country training cycling instructors. In 2001 I began coaching local athletes utilizing metabolic testing to more accurately identify training zones based on VO2 Max, resting metabolic rate, anaerobic threshold and blood lactate levels.
In 2004 I became certified as a Medical Exercise Specialist through ACE Fitness and started my new fitness company Fittmetrix LLC (www.fittmetrix.com).
Currently I teach power-based cycling through the Stages program at South Yuba Club and offer metabolic testing with the latest equipment (VO2 Master) and training software (INSCYD).
My goal is to offer training and coaching for any fitness level based on their unique fitness metrics.

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.
