Instructors / Aleah Stander

Thanks to her love of sports and vast knowledge in Kinesiology, Aleah always offers a ride to remember. Aleah developed her fitness passions by playing everything from volleyball to flag football while growing up in Pittsburgh, PA. She is an elite fitness professional who became an expert on weight training at Penn State University. While completing her degree in Kinesiology, she became a group exercise instructor, and successfully mentored many younger instructors and trainers.

Aleah’s experience and education lend a huge hand in helping her design high-energy and challenging indoor cycling classes. She looks at the entire ride as a whole and creates a calorie-burning, captivating, and inspiring ride from start to finish. Aleah's just as passionate about her music as she is about the choreography of her rides – every class features a mix of alternative, pop, and hip-hop. Her rides are rhythmic, the transitions are fluid, and everything is perfectly timed to the music. You can always count on Aleah’s enthusiastic and energetic style to inspire you.

Outside of Flywheel, Aleah is a Lululemon athletica ambassador for the 66th street store in NYC. She is certified through ACSM, AFAA, and Schwinn Cycling. She holds a B.S. in Kinesiology, with a minor in Nutrition. On the weekends, you can find her cheering on her favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and enjoying all New York City has to offer.
