“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.”
After overcoming her fear of fitness classes and falling in love with indoor cycling in Chicago three years ago, Amanda immediately sought a place to continue this exercise when she moved to Maine for graduate school in 2017. Amanda has since graduated and is now a School Counselor at an Elementary School! Her love for indoor cycling developed into a full-fledged passion when she found Rêve, which became a place of familiarity and comfort in her new home of Portland. Amanda grew up with gym teachers who told her she would never be an athlete based on her lack of both hand-eye coordination and competitiveness, so she shied away from any form of fitness until her late twenties when she moved back to the Midwest (and living in many other states including: Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota) from New York City. Discovering the power of endorphins has been life-changing! Rêve’s diverse and encouraging instructors increased Amanda’s enthusiasm for spinning by making sure she felt welcomed and supported. Her love of riding and music led Amanda to become an instructor; pulling from her background of performing professionally as an actor and singer. Amanda now looks forward to leading riders on a 50-minute journey with fresh and energetic beats, uplifting and supportive messages, and giving riders permission to take up space and own their unique fitness stories.

"Don’t wait till you reach your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step it takes getting there.”
Amber's journey has woven a tapestry of experiences from the vast skies of West Texas to the serene landscapes of Maine, where her roots run deep across generations.

Amber's eclectic music taste guides her classes, inviting everyone to sing along to familiar tunes. Her sessions aren't just about physical fitness; they're a metaphor for life, a space to build resilience and embrace confidence. When she's not in the studio, Amber's passion for golf and hiking keeps her grounded. As a rider turned instructor, Amber is excited to bridge the gap between the studio and the world, sharing her energy and experience with all who join her journey.

"Give light and people will find the way.”
A friend introduced Amber to Rêve during a time in which she was looking for a place to get a good workout. When she walked through the doors of the studio, she found so much more. Amber works as a Probation Officer for the state of Maine; Reve quickly became a place she could disengage from work and life, and focus on taking care of herself. After riding for a little while, she knew she had to become a part of this team in a bigger way. Her passion for health, fitness, music, and empowering others drove her to want to take it to the next level as an instructor. Outside of Rêve, Amber likes to spend time outdoors, with family, friends, and her dog.

“I am grateful for my body and all that it does for me.”
Lauren is from Pittsburgh, PA, and discovered Rêve Cycling Studio through the warm and welcoming introduction of her first friend in Maine, Hannah. Moving to Maine in 2018 for her career as a news reporter, Lauren embarked on a journey to find her place in a new state. From the moment Lauren stepped into her first class in the Fall of 2019, she was hooked. The music, the challenge, and the inspiring instructors made Rêve feel like a second home. In January 2020, she committed to her passion by becoming a member and has been riding consistently ever since. When she's not riding at Rêve, Lauren can be found pursuing her other interests, which include golfing, skiing, and leisurely walks along the beach. To Lauren, Rêve is more than just a cycling studio; it's a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who support one another not only during class but also in the journey of life beyond the studio walls. Rêve holds a special place in Lauren's heart, and it will continue to be a cherished part of her life.

“Follow your dreams. They know the way.”
Leah Hitchcock is a lifelong athlete. Her very favorite thing to do is dance to a loud and bumpin’ beat, and, when she walked into Rêve she found the chance to do that--even on a week night! She first came to Rêve a bit over a year ago, and immediately found a place that blocked out any negativity from the world beyond the studio and simply fostered “the good stuff.” She is obsessed with music, and is excited to curate playlists that keep people moving and inspire them to have fun. Her deepest music obsession is the mash up, as she love the marrying/re-imagining of two things you may not have expected together. After her first class, she was hooked, and would imagine how she might spin to each song that she listened to. Outside of the studio, Leah works in the Underwriting department at MEMIC, waitresses each weekend, and loves to eat her way through Portland.

“Anything you do to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone will ultimately enable you to take larger risks and grow.”
Molly first found Rêve during the pandemic when she was looking for activities to do outside (we were out at Thompson’s Point!) and even convinced her husband it would be a great date and dragged him along, too! During the few years of the pandemic, no matter the space (Thompson’s Point, Halo, Brick South), Rêve created the energy that made Molly feel like she belonged and motivated her to step out of her comfort zone. At around 100 rides, she knew she wanted to be an instructor. Molly is from a small town in New Hampshire and then went on to spread her proverbial wings and lived in Boston to study music and education before moving to Portland. Outside of Rêve, Molly loves getting out of the city and spending time in the woods, making trips to see family in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. “Nothing beats a long drive down a dirt road with a good playlist,” said Molly. “I spend much of my Portland time riding my moped to the farmers market, finding local music, running the trails, and asking friends to walk on the beach with me.”

“Spread love everywhere you go, let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.“
Nicola found Yoga Sculpt when recovering from a back injury in college determined to come back stronger for her diving season, and immediately fell in love. In her classes, she discovered her happy place: an upbeat, high energy, calorie burning class that had all the core beliefs of yoga; 60 minutes to focus on you and only you, surrounded by positive people that build you up. Inspired by this, she completed the rigorous training program at CorePower Yoga in 2018—and hasn’t looked back since! Nicola attributes Rêve as the place she gets to come to, let go, and reset. Outside of the studio, Nicola works in commercial real estate, primarily leasing with a specialty in Retail. One of the most notable projects she works on in Maine is Rock Row!

"Loving yourself is the greatest revolution."
One fateful morning in 2014, Rachael's mother dragged her to an early bird ride at Rêve. Somewhere between weights, and that final push to the finish, she fell in love. Back in the Big Apple, Rachael worked as a performer, finding herself in Manhattan's most prominent theaters, and touring with Grammy Winners as a backup singer. Between gigs, she became a spinning instructor, training under some of the industry's best. Back in the 207, Rachael brings her knowledge of music and cycling to the podium, and will never pass up the opportunity to teach a theme, and wear a costume to class. When she's not at the studio, you can find Rachael in her first-grade classroom, running a race, and perfecting her peanut butter cookie recipe.

Redyn creates playlists full of absolute jams and leads a fun and powerful ride.
