Our friends at Pedal Studio in London are hosting a Charity Spinning Indoor Cycling Strength Ride to benefit Partners In Health and the people of Haiti on Saturday the 30th at 12:00.
Partners In Health (PIH)
PIH has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years. Partners In Health (PIH) works to bring modern medical care to poor communities in nine countries around the world. The work of PIH has three goals:To care for patients, to alleviate the root causes of disease in their communities, to share lessons learned around the world.
Based in Boston, PIH employs more than 11,000 people worldwide, including doctors, nurses and community health workers. The vast majority of PIH staff are local nationals based in the communities they serve.
If there was a place I would love to fly to, just to take an Indoor Cycling Class, it would be Pedal Studio in London. They have a very impressive list of instructors including past Podcast guests Mark Tickner and Michelle Colvin.
John is a member on the AFS (Association of Fitness Studios) Advisory Council.
Holding certifications from; Schwinn, Heart Zones, Team ICG and Life Time Fitness, John's held regularly scheduled cycling classes between 1998 and 2015 when he moved to Florida.
When the weather permits, you'll find him riding and leading outdoor groups by himself or with his Tandem partner (wife) Amy.
I’ve known of Jill a long time – since before she moved to London. Jill, Weren’t you working for the World Bank or IMF in Wash DC? So good to see you got on at a great Spinning facility with the likes of Sarah, Sandro, Mark and Michelle (four Spinning MIs at one facility – do the members have ANY idea how incredibly lucky they are)?! Oh and of course, the illustrious Robert Baldi, a great instructor who should be an MI….
Jill is one IMPRESSIVE global woman everyone. Of COURSE she would be involved in a fundraiser for Haiti! 🙂
Jill, Mark and Michelle, Sarah & Sandro,
Good luck and congratulations on putting this together. Will you let us know how it goes and how much you raise?
All the best,
Jennifer
Hey Jennifer,
That was me!! You still are a tremendous inspiration to a number of my spinning classes (I still read old profiles of yours) so keep it up Jennifer!! I feel very lucky to be teaching at a studio with such phenomenal instructors and I certainly hope the studio can make a small contribution to PIH.

Oooh, if only I’d found out about this earlier, I’d have imposed on my friends who live in London! I’m in Bristol, only 110 miles from London and would love to give this a go. I really want to visit The Pedal Studio, have done ever since I met Sandro when he trained me in Exeter last year for Spinning.
Good luck with your charity ride, let us all know how it goes!
