Tash Marshall Bean

Where do I begin, Tash Marshall Bean came into my life in one big gust and has forever changed it. I reached out to her about taking her open training and potentially opening a studio in my community. Her encouragement and confidence allowed me to take the step into entrepreneurship. She generously shared all her studio tips, from what bikes to purchase, where to get shoes, mic quality, best apparel brands…and the list goes on. From day one, she has been my biggest cheerleader and now the biggest cheerleader for not just myself as a studio owner but for my whole team! Her program, it is brilliant! We just finished our 3rd weekend with Tash, and it continues to challenge and excite us as instructors and all of our clients. The program is built to reach a first timer sitting in the far back corner, and the veteran client in the front row all at the same time. It is dynamic, high intensity and not just one hell of a workout; it is fun and leaves you wanting more!

Tash doesn’t just bring a manual to the table; her training is so much more. She brings this energy that is contagious – and inspires each instructor to be their authentic self and is the definition of community. She creates it, teaches it, and lives 100% by it. Her knowledge is bar none, her passion is raw, and she sees the potential in everyone and has this unique ability to pull it out and inspire you to be your best self each day (on and off the bike)!

The after-training weekends is where Tash is behind the scenes ensuring we are supported by checking our playlists, dropping us music and continuously cheerleading us from miles away. Our studio is successful because of her program and support. There are no words to describe the LOVE we have for this woman and her program. We are so proud to be apart of the #trainingwithtashie community!

“Without a doubt, I can honestly say that MODE would not be even close to what it is today without Tash’s involvement. It didn’t even cross my mind to NOT reach out to Tash when I was opening Mode Fitness. It was either happening with her or it wasn’t happening at all.

Tash has this profound gift of creating synergy within a brand new team. She focuses on personal strengths and ensures everyone feels comfortable. I’ve experienced this from both the operator lens and the instructor lens. Years ago, Tash trained me and took me from knowing absolutely nothing about a stationary bike to operating my own studio! It’s a vulnerable thing- to become a spin instructor and Tash doesn’t take this lightly. She holds nothing back. She willingly and lovingly gives you ALL of her tips and tricks to be the most successful studio possible. Her knowledge base has some serious depth. I knew I could ask her anything about running a studio from instructor engagement to the sound system!
Tash helped me build our instructor team and has also stayed on with us to provide ongoing coaching and encouragement. Tash’s dedication to her craft is unbelievable and I am SO grateful to have this master with me on this crazy journey.”

I am comfortable and confident in saying that Kollektiv Cycle would not be what it is today without Tash. From that very first phone call, I knew that my dream would become a reality with Tash by my side. Not only did she support me at every moment through the, at times, extremely taxing process, but her partner Charlie also offered his expertise and input in critical phases. Day or night, they were there and made me and Kollektiv Cycle a priority.

Tash’s passion and incredible knowledge are unparalleled. Our motivators are top notch and their energy is infectious, all a direct outcome of being taught by the absolute best.

Much love Tash! You are truly one of a kind and I am so thankful that our paths crossed!

“Training with Tash is SO much more than spin training… it’s a longstanding relationship built on common interest and passion!  I had the opportunity to be a part of Tash’s spin training early in 2018, and it was a transformative experience. Everyone will tell you that Tash is truly the best in the business, with a program unlike any other that delivers consistent results. Here’s the best part: not only is her program amazing, she goes above and beyond to show her continued support and commitment to training and development. Here I am almost one year later, and Tash still offers music suggestions, recommends inspiring podcasts, and provides consistent effective feedback to take my instructing to the next level. Tash offers so much more than spin training, she is an honest friend, confidant, and cheerleader willing to support every step of the way! So much love!”

“Tash is crazy good at what she does. She has this ability to connect with each instructor and push them to be their best. We have put all of ourselves into this studio and Tash does the same. She has a genuine interest in ensuring that we will succeed. Even though the training is complete, she is still checking in to help out in anyway. I am so glad we met Tash and know we would not be where we are without her. We will definitely use her again and feel we have found a true friend. Thanks Tash!”

“Working with Tash has been a great pleasure…even when she was kicking our butts on the bikes. Tash brings amazing energy, and worked hand in hand to make sure we delivered a program that meets our needs and was also up to her standards. Ultimately putting forth a program that makes sense for the instructors to teach, and is a lot of fun for the clients to follow.
We will definitely be working with Tash again soon!”

Hey Tash! I wanted to tell you that spin training helped give me the balls to stop being a wuss about public speaking and give a talk about my research in Vancouver. I’ve since been invited to speak in Atlanta and at Stanford! I’m doing my friends and family ride next Tuesday…I’m pumped!! Thanks for setting me on this path my friend.

“For my professional development both as an owner looking for similarity in Instruction and as an Instructor I immediately went to Tash. With her experience, passion and dedication working in the industry and with other boutique spin studios, I knew she was exactly who I needed to help me understand what it was I was looking for. Her method is bang on, and her personal energy just gets you so excited to put it into place. She really drives you to be the best you can be.”

Jordan Law, Founder

“Tash is so much more than an instructor trainer. She is a cheerleader. A persistent supporter. She becomes an integral part of your studio and finds just the right balance between providing direction, and letting you (the owner) take the lead. Tash has the uncanny ability to bring out the best in everyone and her limitless energy is fuel for the exhausted studio owner. She has a program that works, a systematic implementation process, a winning attitude, and the practical experience to bring it all together.”

Getting Asses to Classes since 2017

“I have been in the fitness industry for many years owning, operating and instructing group exercise classes. Zumba, CrossFit to – “you name it”, I probably taught it. So, just when I thought I could open this Spin Studio on my own, Ryde YXE and Wheel Fit Co suggested I contact Tash.

When we first talked I was guessing I couldn’t afford to hire her. But after a few more calls I bit the bullet and the journey started in Meadow Lake Saskatchewan! I can honestly say she helped me take my new studio in just 3 months to where I hoped it might get to in a couple years! In 3 months we were fully trained and I was beating my stretch target, which was this crazy goal!!

Her passion, drive and knowledge shines through in every word she speaks. She took my team (and I) of instructors and not only taught us the ins and outs of teaching the class, but helped us become a team!

Everything from ensuring I ordered the right bikes, to Studio set up, to customer service. She works endless hours returning messages and phone calls always ensuring we are on the right track.

If you have doubts or feel you can’t afford it I can promise you can’t afford not to. Not only will Tash take you and your business to the next level with her vast knowledge she’s as entertaining AF!

SERIOUSLY… wait until you meet her. It’s instant LOVE!!!”

“I came from a numbers based program and Tasha Marshall Bean’s program completely transformed me!! Such an amazing feeling teaching with just the music!! No gear no rpm. Just you, the bike and the music. Loved it!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!”

“Working with Tash really allowed me to become the most confident I have ever been on the bike. Her training allowed me to let go and just be free, to truly feel changes in the music. I can literally listen to any song and teach to it without having to memorize and practice it days on end. I have also noticed a huge change in my ability to just express, express the way each track makes me feel, and in turn allow those who ride my class to channel their inner ability to succeed and grow each time they ride with me.”

Meeca Tuttroen, Team Leader

“Ever since I contacted Tash 6 months ago, she has been an active and vital part in helping me open up a spin studio and continues to help tremendously even to this day. She provided tips about hiring, contracts, studio design, bike choice, shoe choice…basically everything I could possibly ask for! Whenever I needed a second opinion she was always a text or phone call away. I could not wait to get started training with someone who clearly new the industry inside and out. Once training weekend arrived, she impressed me to a whole new level. She created an encouraging team atmosphere from the first minute she walked through our doors. She made us want to work hard for each other and help each other succeed as spin instructors. By the end of our second training weekend, we were a little spin family! She left us feeling prepared and confident to open our doors to the public, which was only one week away. Tash taught us customer service and how to treat our clients in a welcoming, inclusive manor. She was amazing at teaching us how to do front desk duties and even helped with our software! I am so grateful to have had someone like her on my side while opening my spin studio. I will definitely be getting her back in a few months to teach us more and help us grow so we can continue to rock the spin community! I am so proud to be able to use the #trainingwithtashie hashtag! We love you Tashie!”

“Tash is one of the most motivating people I have ever encountered! While we already have an amazing team of instructors at Lagree YYC, I engaged Tash to work on bringing our team to the next level. After our 3 hour workshop this is what I noticed: our instructors are making more of an effort to interact with the participants throughout the class by using their names and complimenting them on their form and/or encouraging them. They are using a greater variety of motivational and instructional cues throughout the class; cues that were discussed during the workshop. Our instructors are also making more of an effort to use voice intonation to motivate participants. All of these tools help make the experience more meaningful for the attendees. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tash as a consultant for any fitness studio striving to improve the experience for their members.”

“Today marks 1 year and 1 day of my greatest milestone and the day I received my greatest gift. It took only 1 day for my world to change significantly and it took just 1 woman to make it all happen.

Had it not been for that wonderful woman (forever to me known as: Wonder Woman) I would have never ever, been living my wildest dream. I would have never gotten the chance to truly believe that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was, I never would have experienced myself overcoming personal challenges. She took me out of the “I can’t!” and gave me the courage, and gave me the voice to shout “I CAN!”
The day I met Tash, was one I’ll not ever forget. Upon jumping into met my new crew, she had shared that she saw something in me that I kind of felt was there, some sort of energy. But gosh! She had a way of pulling whatever it was out of me and made me believe I could do this, that I could lead a class, on a bike, on a MIC, in front of so many amazing people! What she captured and gave me that day was a sense of purpose- MY PURPOSE. That purpose soon became my spin journey, and that journey became my life.

I owe a lot of who I am today, my mind, body and most indefinitely my spirit to this Wonder Woman. She empowered me to find who I am, she made me believe that I am strong, that I AM able, and that I CAN BE! I can BE that person who can be fearless, to reach out to fellow riders, to give them encouragement to help them find their greatest selves. Without her encouragement, I would have missed out on the greatest opportunity- to inspire and to motivate others. Tash made me believe that I CAN BE a Spin Instructor. For that- I’m so, so, SO happy, so touched, & so honored.
One of my biggest aspirations is to give the gift that Tash has given me, the gift of empowerment, to help someone grow out of their own comfort zone to conquer their own personal challenges with great achievement- To be the person who motivates one to grab a hold of their dream and to LIVE it! And even more, I want to give the gift of confidence- the same kind of confidence that she pulled out of me which helped me overcome my own self-doubt.

Each day I lead on that bike is a privilege, it feels like I’m striking gold, each push on those pedals is pushing towards greatness, each drop of sweat and each big shiny smile I see staring back at me while up there on the big stage makes my heart explode with the utmost happiness. I’m so grateful and SO incredibly humbled.

Thanks to my Wonder Woman for making this possible, for making ME possible. Thanks to Tash for not letting me doubt myself, for not letting me walk away that 1 day. This gift she’s given me has become my life, and that life is a freaking dream come true!

I love the ride, I love this opportunity, and I love her more than she could ever know.
Thank you, Tash for so many things, for not letting me give up, for believing me, and for the continuous support.

Much love and so, so, SOO much respect. XOX”

“Strength, dedication, community, passion and drive. These are just a few words to describe Tash. I am honoured to have received my instructor training by this amazing woman. I believe Tash is the BEST instructor/trainer in Calgary. There are many successful studios in Calgary and they all have one thing in common… yup, you guessed it, Tash Marshall Bean and her incredible training philosophy!”

“Ryde YXE opened its doors on Broadway Avenue, Saskatoon in February 2016. Throughout the developmental stages of Ryde YXE, we new the success of the studio depended largely on location, but more importantly on the product being offered. While touring other indoor cycling facilities, one name consistently was passed on in regards to instructor training and program development, Tash Marshall Bean. After an initial introduction, and a 50 minute class, we knew we had our mentor. In January 2016, Tash began her 40 hour training program preparing our Ryde YXE instructors to step out of their comfort zones and become the leaders their clientele would come to expect. This was no easy task. Tash was able to tap into each instructor’s abilities and have them motivating a room of peers on a technique new to Saskatoon. Needless to say, as Ryde YXE owners, watching our vision become a reality was a humbling experience. Tash’s passion for her profession transfers through to those she trains, and comes through in each Ryde YXE class taught. We have taken a proven method and put it into practice on a daily basis. It is this formula, and the means in which it is instructed, that has pushed Ryde YXE to where we are today. We are extremely grateful to have Tash as a member of the RydeTribe and extended Ryde YXE family.”

“When Tash came to our wee mountain studio I remember thinking “This woman has some serious mojo!!” Uniquely, that is just what the Soar crew needed. She brought all of our instructors together as a team, energized us & taught us heaps on & off the bike!! Forever grateful for the fun amp up weekend & cannot wait to do it again down the road! Up & up!”

September 2017, I decided to expand my studio and open up Soul Ryde which would be Vernon’s First Boutique Indoor Cycling Studio. I was determined to have it up and running by January 1, 2018. With my fitness background, I knew the KEY component to making this a success was finding a trainer that could train my team to deliver the BEST Ryde classes in my city. Tash was referred to me, plus I also did some online research, and she looked like she would be the perfect trainer for my team! I reached out to her, and because of my small time frame, she was accommodating, and did everything she could to deliver 2 amazing weekend trainings for my team.

Tash brings passion to the bike, and her teaching style is educational and fun. She genuinely cared about my team, and still follows up to see how everybody is doing and how things are going. My success was important to her. That means everything as a studio owner. Soul Studio members are raving about our classes, all thanks to her!

Investing in proper training is so important, and I would highly recommend Tash to anybody opening up a Cycling Studio. Invest in proper training, because the results are priceless.

“Tash is the Program Director and Head Trainer at both One Cycle and Spin on Crowfoot and develops our spin family. In other words: Tash whips us into shape. She makes our instructors better and primes new ones to board the party boat to spin island. Tash, our Captain, has a generous heart and generous voice that will dare you to be anything less than your best.”

Joanna Majcherkiewicz, Marketing

To say Tash’s program/training changed my life is a understatement… this year was full of many many challenges as I watched a sibling battle a illness, and tragically lost my Dad. I was left feeling overwhelmed and defeated and then Tash waltzed into my life when I needed her… before I even knew I needed her!! She has a way of pushing people out of their comfort zones, and making you feel like you can accomplish anything!

I feel like I have known Tash my whole life and definitely count my blessings twice when I count her. If you ever have the chance to take her indoor cycling training or jump into one of her spin or lagree classes do it … I promise you won’t regret it!

Cheers!!!
