Meet Carmilla, she loves fitness. After having her third child she encountered weight gain and post-partum depression. Feeling lost she thought perhaps going to the gym and losing a few pounds would help her feel better. Once she established a routine, she realized it wasn’t the weight loss that made the difference, but instead it was that she believed she could try and accomplish more in the gym, which translated to everyday life. She loves working out all over the world, in different countries, and cities, including varying fitness modalities . . . she wants to try it all! Strength and perseverance of the mind, body, and inner heart became her mantra, and she strives to embody a warrior spirit in all of her workouts. You can currently find her in Chicago at Basecamp Fitness, CorePower Yoga, and Body High Fitness.

Katie could not be more excited to guest teach at Bold Cycle! Being six feet tall, she found the confidence in her body as a dancer. Performing has been her passion since then. After high school, she moved to New York City to pursue a career in musical theater. Realizing her heart was being pulled in another direction, she discovered indoor cycling. The music, the community, the energy—all of it felt right. She has been riding since 2011 and hasn't looked back. Since she became a professionally trained instructor in 2016, she has been uniquely leading her riders to being the proudest, most authentic versions of themselves. Katie shows her own vulnerability to tirelessly support her riders in understanding that who they are is absolutely perfect—no matter who they are. Katie hopes you leave her class feeling badass, sweaty, connected, and like you found a beautiful new way to look at your beautiful self.
