Spinning Instructor and ICI/PRO Member Kay Ruane
Would you be intimidated if you had to fill in for Master Instructor Tom Scotto? I know I would. Meet Spinning Instructor and ICI/PRO member Kay Ruane. Kay fills in for Tom on a regular basis at the Wellbridge club where they both teach.
Those of us with a bunch of experience, who were given the chance to teach for Tom, may have some butterflies at the beginning... but our Instructor skills would probably kick in and we would deliver a great class.
But what if you didn't have years of experience to fall back on? Kay has been certified for less than a year and still has the confidence in herself she needs to deliver the class Tom's regulars expect.
Once you listen to Kay's story, you'll understand where that confidence comes from.

Kay is one of those very unique people with a truly sweet personality yet not lacking conviction. Obviously, after hearing her story you will understand what molded her character. I’m honored to have her sub for me. Even though she is a new indoor cycling instructor, I believe she will quickly become a great instructor not only because of her past, but because of her humility and willingness to learn and do things right regardless of what it takes.
Thanks Kay for all of your energy and help this year! – Tom.
Kay What great mentor Tom is. No wonder you can stand in. just being in a couple of Tom’s classes has changed how I teach.
Your story is motivating and good for you to be able to talk about it. Best of luck in your new profession.
Thank you Tom! Thank you Chuck!
