Merle Freeman

  Merle Freeman began teaching indoor group cycling classes in the mid 90's, as a result of his participation in the first of four California AIDS Rides. With over thousands of "on the road" miles experience and a Johnny G's Spinning Instructor Certification, Merle incorporates his love of yoga, experience as a club dj, and appreciation for theatrical drama to create a moving meditation through a visceral musical landscape infused with athletic mental toughness. With the addition of inspirational sports related visuals made possible by the Bodies In Motion state of the art projection system, an indoor cycling experience is created which Merle likes to call "Factor X - Nothing you expect, Everything you imagine." "Fun," "inspirational," and "spiritual" are the most common words used by class participates to describe the Factor X indoor cycling experience.
