Darren
Darren is the owner of the Spin Collective. He also owns a bike shop Apple County Cycles a few doors away at Unit 5C The Quay and is a keen cyclist both indoors and outdoors and rides a BMX, mountain bike & gravel bike.
At the start of Covid, he bought a spin bike in March 2020 and since this time has completed around 300 spin sessions a year and has a real passion for spin, which keeps his cycling fitness at optimum levels for outdoor riding. When not on the spin bike, he loves a day out at Bike Park Wales on his mountain bike.
Darren leads some of our "Speed" and "Power" sessions and other sessions where instructors are not available. He is also available for 1:1 lessons.
Keira
Keira’s classes are rhythm-based, music-driven, and high energy. Every ride is built around upbeat playlists that make movement feel natural and fun, because music is at the heart of how she teaches. She brings a bold, high impact energy to every class, creating an encouraging and motivating environment where riders stay connected to the beat, feel challenged, and enjoy the ride.
Keira runs back to back classes on Wednesday evenings.

Carol (pictured) is a passionate and motivated level 2 fitness instructor that has been teaching spin since 2012.

Carol, runs a class on Saturday mornings.
Tony has now taught over 2000 spin classes and never plays the same music set twice, so expect a varied range of tunes in his classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
