Alex Klemmer

A co-founder of Spynergy, Alex rides outdoors and has always worked out, but was initially a little intimidated by indoor cycling.   Since jumping headlong into it, she has never looked back. She now cycles four times a week, is totally hooked,  and has reached a new level of fitness. Her classes are about music and energy….she loves finding new music and is constantly on the lookout.  Snow Patrol, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gomez, Modest Mouse, Mat Kearney ….she always includes some classic familiar music…..U2, Counting Crows, Pretenders, Dave Matthews, Fleetwood Mac…..and likes to throw in some R and B… Joe Cocker, Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner.  Classes are typically all-terrain rides, she likes to mix things up and move around the bike. Whether you are an avid cyclist or a beginner, you will find her classes challenging and motivating…come give it a shot!

Bill Pryor

Bill co-founded Spynergy with his sister Alex in February of 2005.  An avid outdoor cyclist, he's been indoor cycling for 10 years and teaching for 5.    Music is the absolute key to a great class....Bill's musical tastes are an eclectic mix of eras and genres.  Think Rolling Stones and Van Morrison meet Beck and Moby meet The Cure and INXS.  Dave Matthews and Nine Inch Nails meet U2 and the Temptations.  Per Bill, “ a great class is like nothing else, it is an amazing combination of entertainment, exertion, meditation and exhilaration.  He can't believe something this fun can actually be good for you.   Bill has run several "all Grateful Dead" classes....don't worry, they are pre-announced.

Andre is an all around fitness junkie and you’re likely to find him in the pool or hitting the weights as much as on a bike. Andre has been leading  classes at Boston College for the last 3 years and finds a real passion in it. His rides follow a good combination of popular name bands (e.g. Sting, Fallout Boy, Snow Patrol) and techno (e.g. Juno Reactor, Moby, Paul Oakenfold).
