Known as Naydog by her friends, Naomi is no stranger to hardcore, sweaty training. Born and raised in Hertfordshire--England that is--she spent her school years in track & field, specializing in hurdles and decathlon. An athlete to her core, after leaving school Naomi entered the world of triathlon to satisfy her training fix, reveling in the hard work and competitive nature. While working as a makeup artist during the day, she spent her off-time working her body. Introduced to indoor cycling in college, she recognized it as a fantastic way to stay in shape, but nothing more. Then one day she found herself on the bike at the Sweat Shoppe cranking, immersed in the cathartic heat, and she fell hard, realizing in that moment that the ride could be difficult and strenuous and meditatively soulful all at once. She quickly decided she wanted to share her new-found love with others and joined the Shoppe's seminal teacher training program. With an upbeat, you-can-do-anything attitude, Naomi brings a bright light to the teacher podium with her dazzling smile and desire to share the joy and peace of mind she feels at the end of every hard ride. With an eclectic mix of music, Naomi's infectiously happy nature inspires her students to push a little harder, reach a little deeper, and strain a little longer to gain that feeling of satisfied completion at the end of every class.
