Our Certified Instructors
Kim De Lutis,
owner/instructor
Cycling has afforded me many gifts including strength, friendship, and the ability to face life’s challenges as easily as completing a century (or four). As a strength trainer since 2002 and indoor cycling instructor since 2003, I’ve met many inspiring people motivated to improve their health and fitness. On October 1, 2019, my husband John and I opened RIDE Indoor Cycling to help everyone in our community get fitter, healthier, and waaayyy happier. Whether you’re new to exercise or a competitive cyclist, RIDE is for YOU and can get you in the best shape of your life.
A certified kettlebell coach, I offer LIFT classes as well as private personal strength training.
A certified Parkinson’s Cycling Instructor, I offer one-on-one PD Cycling as well as personal strength training. Contact me at info@RIDE.fyi
Reason I RIDE: For safe, low-impact, high-intensity interval training (HIIT); to be strong and the best version of myself; to be happy; to improve metabolic, mitochondrial, and cardiac health; to live my best life by delaying aging and disease. And I want to help you do the same.
RIDE Style: Power Training with watts is a real game-changer to individualize your workouts and track improvements. GENTLE, HIIT, or LIFT — my instruction adapts to each member. I’m watching you and will cue you for safety. I don’t speak much other than to tell you when to push yourself. I also have been known to use “metric counting” which is basically a rude way of saying that I can’t count accurately. Not true, but come and see for yourself.

Outside RIDE: I’m a creative copywriter for Garnet Hill, Inc. and I give back to my little town as a Trustee for the Littleton Public Library. Thanks for pickin’ up what we’re puttin’ down at RIDE. You ROCK.
Stacey Doll
I’m a true believer that life is about the journey, not the destination, and that we should strive to make every RIDE an amazing journey. I became a certified Spinning® instructor over a decade ago, and recently recertified to get back in the saddle at RIDE. I love to ski, hike, cruise on my stand-up paddle board, and mountain bike. Indoor cycling — hands down — makes you better at any sport you love.
Reason I RIDE: To stay strong (and sane!)
RIDE Style: Strength is my jam. I like to push the gear on climbs because — are there ANY flat roads in NH? That doesn’t mean we’ll always go slow; “Ride it like you stole it” is my mantra, so heads up. My goal is to see you smiling and sweaty at the end, and hear you say, “That was an awesome RIDE.”
Certifications: Mad Dogg Spinning® L2 Instructor; Cycling Fusion® L3 Power Training; 500 E-RYT yoga instructor; CPR/Wilderness First Aid
Outside RIDE: I’m Executive Director of Root to Rise the permaculture education nonprofit organization. I also run Rooted by Stacey, which provides permaculture and mindfulness consulting and guidance.
Gal Potashnick
Coming from a distance–road riding background, I fell in love with instructing indoor cycling in 2015 when Kim convinced me to try it, and I’ve never looked back. I dial into my passion for helping people of all sizes and fitness levels in accessible, joyful ways to create a mindful and fun RIDE every time. Whether your goal is to level up your training or simply move b/c it feels good, you’ll walk out feeling amazing and having improved your health. Having struggled with disordered eating for years, I’m actively working at becoming a weight-neutral instructor. That just means the goals and the language that I use are focused on creating a connection with your body and mind. RIDE is a wonderful, inclusive community, and I am so lucky to have a place to share what I’ve learned and continue to learn. I’ve also learned that being open to trying is the biggest gift you can give yourself.
Reason I RIDE: Hands down, I. Just. Love. Cycling. It’s a solo sport that doesn’t trigger my competitive side and allows me to show up and control my level of intensity. I use movement to quiet my brain and reduce anxiety. Over the years, I’ve tried indoor and open water swimming; indoor and outdoor sport climbing; distance road riding; MMA; Strongman; running; and weights. I LOVE to move and figure out what works for me (and doesn’t) and I always come back to biking.
RIDE Style: Low-key assassin, music on point, badass instructor. I’ll help you figure out how to listen to your body so you can build mental and physical strength on and off the bike. For those craving the technical, we always work on making every pedal stroke count and building consistently for real gains. We work on hills, flats, speed, power, and technique; you’ll never get bored and with consistency, you’ll build season to season.
Certifications: Cycling Fusion® L1 Indoor Cycling; Cycling Fusion® L2 Heart Zones® Training; Cycling Fusion® L3 Power Training.
Outside RIDE: In April 2023, I went out on my own and opened Canopy Consulting, an organizational development consulting business. I help companies and non-profits navigate the opportunities and challenges of growth and transition; think strategically about goal setting and planning for the future; and foster healthy, equitable, and supportive workplaces for all.
Emily Kelly
I haven’t always been an athlete. In my mid-30s I wanted to make some positive changes slowly over time, and began with small goals. When I ran my first 2 miles without stopping, I never looked back. Since then, I’ve taken up road biking and swimming, setting goals I would never have seen myself doing 20 years ago. I’ve completed the Lake Placid Ironman; several marathons, half marathons and triathlons; Tough Mudders; Spartan Beast; and multiple local, short-course running events. My parents, husband, and two kids inspire me every day to be the best version of me.
Indoor cycling offers anyone a fantastic workout whether it’s your primary exercise or a cross-training activity. For cardiovascular health, strength and endurance at any level, beginner or competitive athlete.
Reason I RIDE: To be a better athlete.
RIDE Style: Serious, but sweet. My favorite types of rides include strength and endurance. I love creating choreography with music that has fun rhythms and inspiring songs to push through a challenging workout.
Certifications: Precision Nutrition Sports and Exercise Nutrition L1; Cycling Fusion® L1 Indoor Cycling; Cycling Fusion L2 Heart Zones® Training; Cycling Fusion L3 Power Training; CPR certified.
Outside RIDE: I’m a Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner and Lactation Consultant for North Country Women’s Health at Littleton Regional Healthcare.
Logan Moore is taking a leave right now but stay tuned for his comeback!
I'm a New Hampshire native that has recently returned home from a journey that had me living in the Big Apple for the previous 10 years. I've had the privilege of traveling to many countries in recent years and I've managed to join our like-minded community in a Spin Class or Outdoor Ride in almost every one of them - from California to London to Sydney. In each one there was a consistent theme and feel of community that I gravitated to and it's led me to this path I'm on today. Always an athlete, my father guided me through so much of my early athletic career, and from that example I'm working to help and inspire even just a few people on this journey. As you'll hear me say in class, "find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend loads of time with them, and you'll be amazed at how far you'll go"
Reason I RIDE: After a lower back injury in college that abruptly ended my competitive pursuits in Track & Field, cycling has been my go-to exercise. The motivation and challenge that indoor cycling provides continues to be my most essential tool in becoming a stronger, fitter, better version of myself.
RIDE Style: Music drives everything I do in life, and it has motivated me to push myself in times where I think I can't. I always ride to the beat, and I hope you'll join me through HIIT Cycles, Spin-Ups, and Heavy Climbs as we lose ourselves in the rhythm of the beat pushing those watts up and heels down!
Certifications: Cycling Fusion® L1 Indoor Cycling
In Progress: Cycling Fusion® L2 Heart Zones® Training; Cycling Fusion® L3 Power Training.
Outside RIDE: I've been in Advertising & Technology for over a decade and I'm currently leading a team of digital natives at Adobe. Outside of work, I’m passionate about mental and physical well-being, you'll find me at Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga classes in town where my partner Marie leads Chakra based practices which sometimes begin with a guided meditation from yours truly.

“A bicycle ride around the world begins with a single pedal stroke” – Scott Stoll
For me, there is no better way to see the world than on a bike. Biking the beautiful rolling hills of NH and VT is one of my greatest pleasures and one of the reasons we have made VT our home. My goal has never been to be the fastest or the strongest rider, I simply bike for the love of all the places it takes me. Like you, I went to an indoor cycling class one day just to try it out. I enjoyed it so much I became certified and have been an indoor cycling instructor for the past six years at a gym in the Boston area.
Reason I RIDE: Because it makes me feel alive! RIDE combines music with community with exercise, calorie burning and heart health. Come join me in getting an endorphin fix!
RIDE style: In a single word, intervals. RIDE with me and you will spike up that heart rate and bring it back down again. No matter what your fitness level, we will find a balance that works for you. We will climb hills, sprint on flats, smile and SWEAT!
Certifications: Cycling Fusion L1; Cycling Fusion L2 Heart Zones® Training; Cycling Fusion® L3 Power Training; CPR/AED certified; Past certs: KEISER m3 certified indoor cycling instructor; Mad Dogg Spinning®
Outside RIDE: My husband and I recently moved up here to the NEK from the suburbs of Boston. Our three children are in college and I am currently on a path of change. This includes wonderful bike trips in Europe with friends (pic above taken in Croatia). Aside from doing the “mom thing” for 21 years, I have been a high school mathematics teacher and adjunct community college statistics professor. My passion for teaching and cycling seem to collide here at RIDE! I look forward to new friendships and new opportunities to come!
