Indoor Cycling Studio to Open in North Reading
Fit Revolution! will be a part of the Rams Athletic Complex.
Michelle O'Connor is opening Fit Revolution!, an indoor cycling studio and boot camp training facility on Concord Street in September.
According to O'Connor, Fit Revolution will be "one of North Reading’s greatest additions in the fitness industry." The studio will be located inside the Rams Athletic Complex and will have top of the line equipment and experienced instructors. They will offer boot camp classes, indoor cycling, Tabata, TRX, Muscle Madness, group training, P90X Matrix and more. Martha Nazzaro and Michele Sweeney, of Grace~Full Interiors in Reading, are the interior desginers.
“I have always dreamed I could open up a specialty fitness facility where we could offer something different than any other gym has. Being in the fitness industry for a while I have had the chance to work with amazing people and create programs that have changed people’s lives forever. Now I can put it all together in one place! I am very proud of the team that we have put together and know that what we are offering will change the way people view exercise,” O'Connor said.
O'Connor was the PT Director at the Reading YMCA for four years. She ran and organized several successful programs there including Women and Weights, New Year's Resolution Program, a Spin A Thon and more. She plans to run similar programs in her new studio, she said, and new programs like DJ Cycling, charity rides, a rewards program and others.
“Our vision is to make sure that everyone gets a great workout and has fun. We all have different injuries so our team makes sure there are modifications for everyone. I have been running boot camp classes for years and the participants just love it and get such a great workout,” she said.
The studio will not have membership fees. You can buy your classes individually and reserve a spot online.

Michelle was my trainer at the Y for the Team Training program she developed there and it truly changed my life! I can't wait to continue taking fabulous classes with her at her new place. Spinning, boot camps, tabata, muscle classes - everything you need to meet all your fitness needs - I can't wait for the fall and all her new place has to offer. So great to have another new business in North Reading. Best of luck and I encourage everyone to give it a try - you won't regret it!

It's been an absolute pleasure to work both professionally and personally with Michelle. Michelle has been one of my all-time favorite spin and boot camp instructors - a true mix of the hard-core and intense with that beautiful ability to keep it real and motivating for ALL levels of athleticism! Make no mistake, this is a REAL workout that all levels will benefit greatly from! From top-form athlete to the 50+ seeking to stay active and fit! Michelle is the real thing! I have "insider knowledge" of FIT REVOLUTION!...I've been hired by Michelle to be the Designer/Decorator for the project - I can tell you...you're going to be blown away by the new studio - from the team of instructors (awesome!) to the lighting and sound system (wow!)...to the bikes themselves! Even if you've never been on an indoor cycle - I urge you to give it a try - it will change your life!!

I've had the privilege and pleasure of working out with Michelle for over four years now and I'm very proud to call her friend.
Michelle is dynamic, passionate and gets as much inspiration from others as she gives. She will challenge you while simultaneously making your workout fun and uplifting.
Our community is richer for having her in it, and I so look forward to this new facility flourishing and enhancing the health of those who use it!

I am so excited for Fit Revolution! Michelle's passion for fitness is equally matched by her passion to motivate others. I was so hesitant to try spin classes and Michelle is the reason I finally did and now love the workout! Fit Revolution is going to be an amazing addition to our community with opportunity for all levels of fitness.
