If you ask Jay Golden how he found spinning, the answer starts with a comeback story. Being hit by a truck while cycling sidelined him for a year, but it also led him to discover a new way to ride. “After spending a year in rehab, I needed a way to get back on the bike. Riding alone indoors wasn’t for me, but spinning had a groove. The music, the energy, and the people kept me coming back.”

More than ten years later, Jay is still sharing that groove with JCCSF Fitness Center members. An avid cyclist and motorcyclist, he brings his love of life on two wheels to every class. Known for his eclectic music mixes and ability to keep riders coming back, many of his class participants have been riding with him for years. When he’s not teaching, Jay works as a Hardware Engineering Program Manager at Apple, a career he never expected after earning a Fine Art degree from NYU.
