Our Team

Kamryn Newton - Co-Owner/Instructor

I started coming to Brightside Cycle in the summer of 2022 and instantly fell in love. I could never commit to any workout program prior to spin and I needed a serious lifestyle change. Shortly after in the Spring of 2023 I became an instructor to share my love for spin and help members achieve the same fitness goal I was now able to. June of 2024 I became a co-owner with my mother-in-law Teresa. We are so beyond thankful to have this opportunity and love to see our Brightside family grow!!

I am a full-time Maintenance Operations Coordinator at Trellis Mgmt along with a dog mom to two Golden Retrievers, Buckley and Ruger. My husband and I welcomed our first baby into the world around Christmas of 2024 and we are so beyond thrilled for this next chapter of our lives.

I am currently not teaching classes but will be back after my baby girl arrives.

Teresa Wegener - Co-Owner/Instructor

I started coming to Brightside in July of 2022 and couldn’t stop coming! I never could find a workout I quite loved until I started spinning. With the love of spin, June of 2024 I had the opportunity to become co-owner with my daughter-in-law Kamryn and became an instructor then as well. I bring a high-energy workout to the spin studio and want to continue to share my love with current and new members. We love to watch our family at Brightside grow!

I have been a full-time settlement agent with Dunn County Title here in Menomonie for the last 14 years. My husband Chad and I have been married for 24 years with 4 incredible children, and we are welcoming our first grandchild into the world around Christmas!

Come join me Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights at 5:30 along with Saturday at 8:00 AM!

Sara Closson - Instructor

I have been a fitness enthusiast for over a decade but this is my first time being an instructor. I have always been into running and lifting and have discovered that spinning is superb cross-training for my runs and a killer leg workout!

I work full-time as a project manager, part-time as a restaurant server, and am a married mother with two busy kids. I know schedules get packed but making time for a workout is so important to your physical and mental health. I like to get up and get it done so you will find me coaching the 6:00am class on Wednesdays and Fridays. Come join me and be prepared for a fast-paced 30 minutes of high intensity interval training, poppin’ music and lots of sweat! You may even be (un?)lucky enough to have me bust out some song lyrics during class!

Ashley Mathews - Instructor

I jointed Brightside as a member in January of 2023. I wanted to find an exercise I could stick with and had never tried spinning. I quickly found out that it fit well into my schedule and I got a great workout in just 30 minutes, and I’ve been spinning ever since. I got the opportunity to become an instructor in June of 2024.

I live in Colfax with my husband Andy, our 4 dogs, 2 cats and 5 fish. I work at the local animal shelter and a quilting retreat in Downsville, WI. I also coach girls basketball each year. That keeps my schedule full so come join me Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays at 6:00 AM for a full high-paced workout!
