“TikTok, Instagram and the cult of the superstar instructor have been bad news for indoor cycling, says the founder of MPowered and Cadence. She tells Kate Cracknell why she’s leading a movement to fight back.”
“The depth of knowledge Melissa brings to her training is remarkable. She has a way of breaking down the science and art of indoor cycling so you leave feeling truly prepared to teach.”
