Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Tuazon.
Jordan, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I have been an athletic and musically driven individual for as long as I can remember. As a child, I remember my parents constantly driving me from basketball games, to dance classes, to swimming and golf lessons, and then to the mountains on the weekends to snowboard. My free time at home was spent learning to play the piano.
Fast forward to sophomore year of college. I was on the tract to becoming a dentist. Consumed by books and the college lifestyle – being active was put on hold. Let’s just say, 40 pounds heavier, I realized I was no longer happy with myself. So I bought a bike. I also changed my major to Nutrition and Exercise Sports Sciences.
I was instantly hooked after my first indoor cycling class. One day after class my instructor asked me if I was ever interested in becoming a cycling instructor. I laughed, I had a fear for public speaking. But that question led me to where I am today. I’m thankful someone was able to see, what I think is, my purpose in life.
I uncovered a fiery passion for helping others. I got certified through the Spinning program to become a Certified Spinning Instructor. It was not until after I taught my first class that I discovered I also had a alter ego that was fueled by the energy of class.
Fast forward to CycleLab Fitness Studio. Founded by MJ Galvez and Pon Saradeth. I was brought on to be the studio manager and program director. It’s been three years and counting.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Smooth road? I don’t think those exist! There’s constantly a challenge present. A challenge to build the business every day. From filling the last spot in the room to creating a reputation in the community.
When our doors first opened, it was a struggle to build a customer base. And it still is, because there’s always something new to try in the fitness industry. Filling all 40 bikes in the room seemed impossible at first. Then, we had requests to incorporate weight training into what was supposed to primarily be an indoor cycling studio. So, we asked ourselves what could we do? We simply adapted. We sold half our bikes and brought in cable machines and free weights.
As with any business, you have to adapt to the market.
CycleLab Fitness Studio – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
CycleLab began with one goal in mind, and that was to create an environment that will bring an incredible fitness and lifestyle experience that extends beyond our studio doors. The studio was founded by an ambitious couple, MJ Galvez and Pon Saradeth. They are avid road cyclists and all things fitness. They saw the opportunity to offer their community an innovative, dynamic form of indoor cycling.
CycleLab offers a variety of unique workouts that will leave your mind and body feeling energized and rejuvenated. Our variety of daily classes, will allow you to train your entire body in just 45 minutes. You can expect a heart-pounding, rhythm-based ride focused on empowerment and transformation.
We lead with “yes” and make you believe anything is possible. We do not cater to cyclists or athletics, we create them! Our team of motivators will push you out of your comfort zone. This can easily be tracked through a software we utilize called Spivi® MetriX. Spivi® tracks real-time performance, displays a real-time leaderboard thus keeps our members engaged with per-second data analysis and fitness goals.
We ride to get lost in the music, the movement, and the pack – but always riding as ONE! We train to get stronger, to get better, and to find our best selves. At the end of each ride, our minds are free and adrenaline is flowing – this is when you are most powerful!
What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
CycleLab is known for creating an experience the minute you walk through our doors! That experience comes from the strength of our team of instructors. I am extremely proud to work with incredibly unique individuals, who I can call family. A family, who shares the passion for fueling positivity through fitness. Each individual’s personality not only shines through their classes, but enables them to be personable with each client. That alone creates an experience to remember with a different view and attitude on fitness.
