<p>This week on ChatterBeans, I&#39;m chatting to Melissa Power - founder of Cadence Indoor Cycling in Crouch End (North London) - to talk about building a community-first studio with <em>zero investment</em>, and why “substance over style” is the hill she’ll happily die on.</p><p>Melissa shares the life-changing accident that pushed her into indoor cycling, how she’s since certified 800+ instructors, and why she’s on a mission to fight “spin intimidation” and the performative TikTok version of cycling that scares people off. We also chat motherhood, energy levels, going back to work after six weeks, kindness in business, and the real reason great coaching looks “boring” online.</p><p>Warm, funny, honest - with mini cheddars, gin &amp; tonic energy.</p><p><br></p><p>Find out more about Melissa and her work on her <a href="https://melissapower.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">personal website</a>, ⁠connect on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m.powered/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram⁠⁠</a> and book a class at <a href="https://www.cadenceindoorcycling.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cadence Indoor Cycling</a>. </p><p>Did you enjoy this episode?
