MICHELLE ALLEN
Cycle & TRX Instructor
Personal Trainer
A former competitive gymnast and lifelong athlete, Michelle knows that every day is better when one breaks a sweat.
Born and raised in New York, Michelle gave both her boyfriend and Los Angeles one year. Two decades and two kids later she still has that NY edge, but fully admits hiking in the LA mountains is better than the hike to the A Train. Michelle has been a spin instructor for over 11 years, six of them at DFLY and still doesn't know how she got so lucky to get paid for having a blast. When not at Dfly Michelle can be found outside on a trail, walking her awesome dog, at the farmers market, or hiding from her two teenagers at home.
Whether it is in the spin room or in the garage for TRX, Stretch, or Personal Training, Michelle will make it fun.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got questions? We've got answers. Check out our most commonly asked questions below.
All classes at Dragonfly are open to all levels. In the spin room, you are in control of your bike, your pace, and your resistance so you can modify the workout to your own comfort level. In the gym, grab weights you're comfortable with, notify your instructor of any injuries you may have, and we'll provide all the modifications necessary. There are beginners in just about every class, so don't worry! Just go at your own pace, listen to your body, and smile!
If you aren't feeling well or cannot make it through class for whatever reason, we ask you to exit the cycling room or gym with as little disturbance to class as possible. If you are in spin class and feeling fatigued but can make it through, take off some resistance on the bike, sit down, continue pedaling at a medium pace, and drink lots of water!
We recommend that anyone who rides at least once per week purchase a pair of cycling shoes. Our bikes support both LOOK DELTA and SPD clips. If you're not ready to purchase shoes, we offer shoe rentals at $3.
