Michelle became a certified Spinning instructor in 2019, and began teaching her own spin classes at Elevate Fitness DeWitt in September 2021. She takes a technical approach to instructing, and likes to motivate members who attend her classes with great music, positive energy, and a variety of challenges on the bike.

Tiffany began her journey in the fitness world as a Group Fitness Instructor in August 2012. Her love for fitness and her desire to inspire others to prioritize their health led her to pursue this path. As a Group Fitness Instructor, Tiffany developed and led a variety of classes, from high-energy cardio sessions including group cycle to strength based workouts, always striving to make fitness accessible, enjoyable, and motivating for all participants.
In September 2013, Tiffany expanded her expertise by becoming a NASM certified Personal Trainer. This move allowed her to work more intimately with clients, offering personalized fitness plans tailored to their unique goals, whether it be weight loss, strength building, or improving overall fitness levels.
With her diverse background in both group fitness and personal training, Tiffany has worked with clients of all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes.
Diane Sorbello is at 11:00.
My name is Diane Sorbello. I have been a cycling instructor at Elevate Fitness in Syracuse, NY for the last few years I was initially certified in the MOSSA RIDE program and then became certified in the SPINNING program. What does that mean to you? YOU GET AWESOMENESS IN AN INSTRUCTOR (did you feel my personality there??)!! I became an instructor not only because I love to ride, but because fitness journeys are important, starting with my own and then learning of others’…and each person’s is different, which is the beauty of learning about them! If I can help someone integrate routine exercise into their journey, my role is validated. Exercise and fitness journeys are very mental, which is why I am committed to helping people understand more about themselves and how they can push themselves without injury!
Music motivates me, so the right mix of music for cycling is important for an awesome experience. What music do I like? EVERYTHING…I can find a spin routine in almost every song! I love to sing along while I teach, and I love a great cadence…my specialty is climbing, and my classes lean heavily towards that…but there is always a sprinkle of sprints and flats in my classes! I am honored to be an instructor for P4P and have been since its inception! Giving back to the community is important and if this is how I can help others fundraise for eradicating childhood cancers, then “my job is done”.
