Before Flywheel: I was a full-time makeup artist for 12 years. Since I still enjoy adding color to people's lives, I now do makeup part-time.

IN THE STADIUM: You'll work hard while laughing and probably singing, and leave feeling empowered to take on whatever the day throws your way.

WHEN I'M NOT TURNING UP THE TORQ: I'm living life to its fullest - you can likely find me on my yoga mat, boxing, exploring the city, on the beach in the summer, or enjoying my fur babies, family and friends.

Sarah Coppinger is a senior instructor at The Handle Bar. Her background in competitive dance got her hooked to the rhythm-driven ride and her passion for music drove her to lead classes as an instructor. To her, there’s nothing more motivating than a fire song in a spin class. In her class, she wants you to leave everything at the door and lose your mind as soon as that beat drops. Her goal is to make you work hard, sweat it all out and leave feeling high off those powerful endorphins.

 

When not on the bike, she works as the Director of Marketing for The Handle Bar and can often be found toting a camera around town. You can find Sarah at all three Handle Bar studios.
