MARTI
Senior Instructor • Co-Owner
A true local, Marti was born and raised in the Flathead Valley. Since an early age, health and fitness have always been a core passion. As a holistic health coach, she loves to watch people become their best self through movement, intention and dedication. Her obsession with loud, heavy-bass music naturally compliments her love for fitness, making cycling a match-made-in-heaven. Her passion for spin really took fire when she moved to Denver in 2017. She put in the hard work and in turn, she became the happiest version of her self through teaching spin and kickboxing in the city. True love brought Marti back to Montana, but something was missing: fitness instructing.
PsycleMT was born through friendship and passion, and Marti is proud to be co-owner and head of training, instruction, and all things sweat at PsycleMT. When not at the studio, you can find her on an outdoor adventure, which most likely involves any of the following: tacos, tequila, sunshine, coffee and always good vibes. Marti believes we rise by lifting others through our everyday actions. Get ready, she’s excited to share her contagious energy and love for spin with you at every single one of her classes.

ALI
Co-Owner • Marketing Guru
The mastermind behind the brand and all the black, meet Ali. She is proud co-owner of PsycleMT while wearing about half-a-dozen other hats in her career-life. She hails from the eastern side of the state, but is no stranger to the mountains; when she's not in her home office, you'll find her camping, rafting, on the lake, or sitting in the sun with her hubby, toddler, and two huskies, Ellie and Luna.
Ali loves all things spin, including the loud music and the mental release it provides, sweating out all the thoughts that don't serve her and pushing past what's holding her back. She is excited to bring a new business and new wellness to Lakeside, hoping others will find the way out of their comfort zones to discover something new that energizes and motivates them through the different seasons of life.
Catch Ali on the podium for guest appearances here and there, and for her favorite theme ride, Climb & Country! You may not always see her at the studio, but she's the tech behind PsycleMT's social media, website, admin, and all things creative.
