Instructor Team
We can do hard things!
Founded by Raina Draper in 2019, Garage Cycle is committed to providing personalized and inspiring rides that motivate cyclers to have fun while improving cardiovascular endurance and strengthening their bodies.
These instructors are what make Garage Cycle amazing
Not only are they expertly trained, deeply experienced, and impressively fit, they live, breathe, and embody the spin classes they teach. They motivate their cyclers to exceed their own expectations, to feel incredible about their accomplishments, and to leave the studio as the best version of themselves.
Beyond the physical exertion of the spin class is the emotional strength building. The personal encouragement and belief to KNOW you are capable of hard things by DOING them is truly one of the greatest parts of spin classes at Garage Cycle.
If you want to feel good about your body, your mind, your life, join a spin class at Garage Cycle!

"The first time I jumped on a spin bike I knew I had discovered a new passion. It was hard, frustrating and especially sweaty but that didn’t matter. I was motivated, I was getting stronger, I felt I could accomplish anything and no matter the challenge I wouldn’t give up - physically and mentally.
Today, the drive and desire to make others feel the same empowerment is what fuels the fire inside me. I feel so fortunate to be able to do what I love and I want to share that feeling and passion with everyone that joins our community and family at Garage Cycle."

"I ride for the relentless challenge, for that sweaty endorphin rush and for much needed clarity and focus in a very noisy world. What I realized a decade ago was that if you add a community of fellow riders, you work harder, feel stronger and accomplish so much more - all while having fun!
Raina and I are so excited to bring our boutique spin studio to life with a goal of sharing our passion, motivation and music with our people on the peninsula."

"I have been taking spin classes on and off for many years and have always enjoyed it as a form of exercise. But, it wasn’t until I took my first class at Garage Cycle that I fell in love with it! After dancing for the majority of my life, finding a spin studio where the classes revolved around cycling with the beat of the music made everything click for me! I am thrilled to be a part of the Garage Cycle team and pass my love of spin on to others."

“The BEST Spin class! Instructors know their stuff, keep classes fun and motivated and I’m absolutely hooked! They design classes to move through a wide variety of conditioning (hills, sprints, speed) and it’s easy to follow - to the tempo of their ever changing playlists! They offer shoes, aromatherapy cool-down towels, and so much more. Definitely worth checking out!” - Ronnie
“The best spin classes I have ever been too by far! I can't say enough praise for Raina and Shaye...they motivate and inspire you to work your hardest every single time! I come out of class knowing I did my absolute best...and the exercise high lasts for hours.” - Chris
“Upbeat, positive, and let you work to your skill level while encouraging you to push to a higher limit. Comfortable, clean and very fun environment!” - Stacey
“Garage cycle is the best spin class I’ve ever attended! The environment is incredible and the workout is absolute fire!
This is my favourite form of exercise and Shaye and Raina will make sure you see results ! Try them out you won’t regret it !!.” - Shayla
“I cannot say enough about Garage Cycle Spin Studio, Raina, Shaye and Kyja the Instructors. Since I began going there in 2019, they have convinced me I am strong and I can push my body in a healthy way; for strength, wellness, and a positive attitude. AND ITS FUN! Music is always great, playlists are changed up regularly, the studio is clean and a great cool temperature, lights are fun and funky, and cold towels at the end of a sweaty class are the best! Seriously, I never thought I would be a regular at something like this but it is a game-changer - I would be lost without attending my beloved Spin with Raina, Shaye and Kyja! Go try it - you won't be sorry. Thank you and LET'S GO!” - Thaylin
