MEET THE TEAM
Risa Snapp, Owner, Instructor
My work in the fitness industry started at the Little Bob where I was employed as a personal trainer during my college years. Upon graduation I pursued a career in corporate fitness, advancing in time to the position of program manager in charge of multiple sites. Meanwhile, dance has been my avocation and side hustle through the years. In addition to teaching, performing, consulting, and judging competitions, I served as head coach of the University of Delaware National Championship Dance Team for six years.
When fitness expertise and dance energy collide, music drives the classes! Come check out a class with me and feel the music through the bike!
Erica Hicks, Owner, Instructor
As co-owner of the new Oh-So Cycle, I bring my dual background in business and fitness to a crossroads where I aim to provide members with a first class experience. I am a certified and experienced personal trainer, health coach, cycling instructor, and corporate fitness specialist. With a degree in marketing under my belt, I honed my skills as a sales manager and social media consultant at the hotel owned and operated by my family.
When I’m not Oh-So cycling, I spend quality time with my loving husband Kyle and our oh so amazing dog Kona.
Jacki P, Cycling Instructor
After needing a change of pace from my regular workouts, I took my first cycling class more than seven years ago and was instantly hooked. Before moving to Delaware, I taught cycling at some of the best studios in Philadelphia. Music is the most important part of my classes, which are sure to challenge you both mentally and physically. Whether I’m playing hip hop, pop, reggae, or classic rock, you can be assured that the music will dictate the ride. Above all else, it is important to me that riders of all fitness levels feel comfortable and ultimately successful at the end of every ride.
Allie W, Cycling Instructor
I’m a 2020 UD grad now working as a cardiac nurse. I fell in love with Oh-so when I was in college and have stuck around ever since! Oh-so is more than a workout to me; it’s a community filled with some incredible people, good energy and great music. My goal for you is to leave my classes feeling stronger and more empowered than you did when you walked in. Come sweat, dance, sing and have some fun- hope to see you in the saddle soon!
Caitlin G, Cycling Instructor
With a background in exercise science and a lifelong passion for movement, I’ve always believed that fitness should empower you - both physically and mentally. After moving from Massachusetts to Delaware, I found my way into a spin class and never looked back. The rhythm, the energy, the community - it was everything I didn’t know I was missing. Now, as a PhD student studying biomechanics and brain health at UD, I’m bringing that same energy to every ride. My classes are all about strong form, good vibes, and music that moves you (literally). Expect a mix of power, rhythm, and just the right push to help you level up - one beat drop at a time!
Lauren K, Cycling Instructor & Sales Associate
The energy, the music, and the sense of community within a cycling studio is what instantly got me hooked on this style of exercise. I love moving to the beat of the music, adding in some fun choreography, incorporating a light weights song, and encouraging the best out of those in my classes no matter the skill level. My goal in teaching at Oh-So is for all to feel welcomed, recognized, and to bring an amazing energy every single time. Yes cycling is a great workout, but I believe that is a secondary benefit from the feeling of walking out of a class even just 1% better than how you felt walking in. I can’t wait for you to come ride with me and have the best time doing it!
Lauren S, Cycling Instructor & Sales Associate
From starting at the front desk to becoming an instructor, I love all aspects of working here at Oh-So Cycle! As a kinesiology student here at UD, with a focus in strength & conditioning, I have a passion for all things fitness and being active! I love to challenge myself in all aspects of the fitness world, whether it’s trying new workout classes, playing sports, learning about it in school, or my new found passion for group fitness training! You can an expect upbeat, positive, and challenging vibe from each and every one of my classes! I am ecstatic that I am now able to push each and every one of you to leave the studio feeling like the best version of yourself, and help you fall in love with this place just like I have!
Abby V, Cycling Instructor
When I took my first cycling class, I wasn't in the best place mentally, but I knew I needed a change. That's when I discovered Oh-So Cycle. It was love at first ride. By May 2022, my passion for cycling led me to transition from rider to instructor. My top priority as an instructor is to help you feel accomplished and proud by the end of every ride. I design each session with your abilities and preferences in mind, blending HIIT, sprints, and a short upper-body workout, but my favorite part is always the hill climbs. Remember: 'Don’t stop until you’re proud!’
Kayla O, Cycling Instructor
My work in the fitness industry started teaching Barre classes at the Lilbob. As I was teaching I fell in love with the mix of cycling and strength training. I found I could build strength and endurance at the same time and I got hooked. Working out for me helped me not only physically but mentally. It has taught me discipline, self-awareness, and consistency. The best decision I’ve made was getting certified in teaching fitness classes because I get to make a difference in other people’s lives. I love seeing people challenge themselves, achieve their goals, and build confidence! I want everyone on the bike to have fun, challenge themselves, and feel good when they leave!
Pam P, Cycling Instructor
After graduating from UD in 2010 I pursued a professional dance career in NYC. That’s where I fell in love with fitness, teaching group classes, and cycling. I also taught spin classes while attending graduate school at Temple University. I currently work full-time as a physical therapist working primarily with the geriatric and neurological populations. My favorite part of my job as both a physical therapist and a fitness instructor is making people feel strong, capable, and proud. I am so excited to get back on the bike and rock out with you all!
