The last “Girl Power” themed ride has a dream team of Instructors presenting this 60 minute high end special - Emma Haughey, Claire Zimmerman and Angela Carlucci.

Movement and health is a passion for Emma. As a dancer from a young age she became a gym bunny, qualifying in indoor cycling over 10 years ago, then as a personal trainer and a yoga teacher. She has presented at several charity indoor cycling events and works with a varied range of clients. Previously working as a homicide detective in London she can’t promise to not kill you off, but her energy is infectious and she will deliver an epic ride! Let her power and passion guide you through.

Claire has been a personal trainer and indoor cycling instructor for almost 15 years. Although Claire is qualified with Stages and ICG, she always finds herself back where her heart lies, with the Schwinn family! It always astounds her the power of group cycling. Claire's love for music and the energy it brings is a big driver in her classes that will leave you feeling proud, strong, endorphin-high and wanting to come back for more -it's addictive!

Angela co owned the late great Cyclezone Studio with Master Instructor Stefano Ruggeri where Emma and Claire both taught. Angela qualified as a Gold level instructor in 2019 and for the last 6 years has hosted the iconic ICYCLE Indoor Cycling event with the support of Core Health & Fitness. Angela's love and passion for indoor cycling is kept alive by the enthusiasm of her riders and the absolute loyalty and commitment they show her week after week by attending her classes.

This concluding high end ride will be motivating, engaging and full of passion - expect it to be full of fun but also fierce and be ready to give your very best.

We are delighted to welcome back to ICYCLE6 the formidable father and daughter team that is MUȘAT and MIHÃILOAIE. Marius and Stefana established the first indoor cycling studio in Sibiu, Romania and have enjoyed teaching Schwinn cycling there at home and on the international stage since 2012.

Marius Musat, renowned Gold level instructor teaches from his heart, through both words and music. He manages to connect with people in a very particular way and tell a story every time he is on stage. His daughter, Stefana another great Gold instructor, is an incredibly positive person who you will often see smiling, trying to transmit energy and joy through her classes.
