Allison Steinmetz

  1. Hometown: Lafayette, IN / Residence: Essex, VT

  2. When I’m not at ALIGN: I’m a toddler mama, voice teacher and performer.

  3. Favorite drill or exercise? I'm a sucker for a good hill drill, especially one that also incorporates the sprint shift lever.

  4. My musical vibe is: I program a wide range of music, but whether planning an Align45 or a themed class, I focus on making a varied playlist with songs with strong beats that really serve each drill and that help people feel empowered on their bikes and in their life.

  5. Favorite post-class meal: A hemp protein smoothie.

  6. What inspires me:Encouraging folks to tune into how you want to feel at the end of a ride, to let go of what no longer serves, and to welcome in what does.What we seek, we already have or we already are. I firmly believe this. One of my favorite quotes is by Rumi, "Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself."
