With nearly a decade of experience teaching indoor cycling to her credit, Iris Kotmel envisioned and founded CycleLuv® as the first dedicated indoor cycling studio in Loudoun County.
Standing wholeheartedly behind CycleLuv’s standards and effectiveness, Iris ensures the quality of the state-of-the-art Keiser equipment; the excellence of her team of instructors; and the high satisfaction of CycleLuv’s loyal members.
A Star 3 Mad Dogg Athletics-certified Spinning® Instructor (and CPR-certified, as are all CL staff), Iris does not rest content until she sincerely listens to the needs of her clients. Whether it is a custom playlist to celebrate a special occasion, a helpful modification for rehabilitating an injury, or pacing the CycleLuv team on one of its many philanthropy rides, CycleLuv’s members rally to Iris for both fitness and lasting friendships.
And there is more to Iris’ inspiring vision that keeps CycleLuv at the top of reader polls each year. The genuinely warm and wholly inclusive atmosphere is truly best experienced than described, with riders ranging from 12 to 75 years of age and of all fitness levels.
Join Iris on a ride today and discover the passion behind the words “Respect the bike–LUV the Ride.”
