The Super Excellent Not Too Serious Bike That Goes Nowhere Podcast

Join Frank and Mere as they catch up Echelon news, pupdates, past episodes, and what to watch. Get answers to age old questions like, "Would Mere move to Arizona just to get out of Daylight Savings Time?" and "Does Remy like potato chips?" Plus, learn a couple of interesting tidbits about the hosts as they go off script with reckless abandon. It's all in good fun!

Bloopers, Barre, and Big Babies-Oh my! This episode has a little something for everyone. We catch up on moving news, discuss new class types and programs available on Echelon, provide Pupdates and review several of our favorite TV shows and podcasts. Enjoy!

Frank and Mere talk to the reigning queen of high energy dance fun, Lindsay Kaplan. She is not only a Miami Instructor, but Head of Talent for Echelon. We talk about all things Echelon, volunteering for dog rescues, photography, a possible new career as a DJ, and running in costumes. You won't want to miss this one!

Frank and Mere catch up on their latest adventures, favorite shows, and basketball. Frank can't believe Meredith has never seen A Few Good Men, but Mere finds it equally shameful that Frank has not watched a single Sharknado film. Pupdates and fun leaderboard names are shared as well.

Frank and Mere get the scoop from Audrey Johnson on how she stays sane, which piece of Echelon equipment is her favorite, what is was like visitng Chattanooga, and winning a Run Disney race entry as well as a stay at Animal Kingdom! How did she end up in the front at the starting line? How much does her family love her for winning that prize? We also figure out how we can all add more Echelon equi...

Frank and Mere sit down for a gloriously long chat with the one and only Dani Dellarco! We appreciate her taking the time from her busy schedule as an Echelon Miami Instructor to give us some insight into her philosophy on life, liberty, and the pursuit of a personal best.

Frank and Mere talk with Echelon community member and human extraordinare, Justin Kees. Are his legs insured? How many baseball cards does he have? Why is he turning the tables and questioning the hosts? So much fun talking about baseball, spreading positivity through Jamming with Justin, riding to the moon, and working toward goals.

Frank and Mere discuss all things under the sun including, running, Las Vegas buffets, pupdates, Echelon News, a little accidental wearing of women's clothing, and a return of fun leaderboard names!

Join Frank and Mere for a delightful conversation with Echelon Rider, Strider, Rower, and Fitpasser, Kami Young!

We delve into a major health issue that Kami faced and her experiences with all that was involved including an Echelon comeback. A...

Frank Truong and Meredith Willis head up this new season of the podcast. We're bringing new segments including pupdates and have a list of Echelon community, instructors, and team members a mile long to interview.

Recorded May 9, 2024 This week, Meredith and Abe chat with triathlete and former figure skater, Pam Rosenberg (aka PamChicago). To say the hour flew by is an understatement! Pam does so much for the Echelon community, that we just couldn't pass up an opportunity to get to know her better!

Recorded May 3, 2024 It's been almost a full year since Abe joined the podcast (May 15, 2023), so not only will we be celebrating Abe's "podiversary", but we are one episode away from our 100th podcast!

This is no April Fool's joke, but the laughs are aplenty! We finally nabbed the elusive Sparkyroo, and may have held him against his will to be a guest on the podcast. Truth be told, Meredith had to do some unconscionable things just to secure him as our guest! In this episode, we talk about Lionel's Echelon journey, cats, and....clogging (?) - not what you may think it is...or at least no...
