Our Team
Coaches Who Know Your Name.
Dragonfly's instructors are the reason members come back. Real coaches, real attention, and the kind of community that forms when the same people show up together.
Jess Lewis
Founder & Owner · Cycle & DropSet Instructor
Jess founded Dragonfly Cycle + Train with a singular vision: a place where real people get real results without the ego of a big-box gym.
Troy Appel
Studio Manager, Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor
Troy keeps the studio running and the energy high. As both studio manager and lead trainer, he's the backbone of day-to-day operations at Dragonfly.
Michelle Allen
Cycle & TRX Instructor, Personal Trainer
Michelle brings infectious energy to every class she teaches — cycling and TRX are where she shines, and members show up specifically for her sessions.
Ariel Hall
Strength Instructor, Personal Trainer
Ariel brings warmth and precision to every class. She's one of the most technically focused instructors on the Dragonfly team.
Cassandra Sweetman
Cycle Instructor
Cassandra's cycling classes are known for their curated playlists and the way she uses music to push members through the hardest intervals.
Katia Hoerning
Pilates & Cycle Instructor, Personal Trainer
Katia bridges the gap between cycling and mobility work — her classes combine the intensity of spin with the precision of Pilates-informed movement.
Steve O'Connor
Cycle Instructor
Steve's rides are high-energy and community-driven. He's been part of the Dragonfly family long enough that his regulars show up specifically for his sessions.
Shirley O'Connor
Cycle Instructor
Shirley brings calm precision and technical depth to her cycling classes — a different energy from high-intensity sessions, and exactly what many members need.
Rafael Garcia
Cycle Instructor
Rafael's classes are high-energy and music-forward, drawing members who want a full experience, not just a workout.
Elliott Bermudez
Studio Operations Manager
Elliott keeps Dragonfly running smoothly behind the scenes — making sure every class, every member, and every detail is taken care of.
Kristin Phaneuf
Studio Assistant
Kristin is often the first face you see at Dragonfly — warm, organized, and committed to making every member feel welcome from day one.

Studio Assistant
