Our Someone 2 Know is Nevada-blue, through and through!
After growing up in Fallon, graduating from UNR, then working for the NFL, she is now a Reno business owner - with a deep passion for helping others and always giving back to the Northern Nevada community.
Meet Stacey Crawford:
With an almost endless supply of enthusiasm and positivity, Crawford, owner of Full Pedal Indoor Cycling, can be found teaching several days a week, because she genuinely loves motivating others through a spin workout.
"I always use the phrase 'dancing on a bike' because I get to use music, I get to keep that rhythm going - it's a big part of who I am,” beams Stacey, with a contagious smile.
Her love for movement and music started with cheer-leading in high school, and then at UNR:
"I tried out, made the team and it was a really big part of my college career."
An experience that would take her well beyond college. Stacey says she met Mike, her husband, on the football field at UNR and later landed a stint as a Charger Girl, when the NFL team was in San Diego.
"But I always had a dream of opening my own business and I knew I wanted in to be in the fitness industry."
And she wanted it to be in her home state. So, in 2015 the Crawfords opened Full Pedal Indoor Cycling in Northwest Reno.
"I opened my second location which is in south Reno in 2017."
And then came 2020, the pandemic, the shutdowns and restrictions.
"This is a challenging time to be a small business owner."
Stacey says she's taking every day as it comes, including the latest no exceptions mask-mandate.
"I'm extremely grateful to the members here that continue to show up and are very supportive."
It's a family affair - Mike also teaches classes and the Crawford’s three daughters often lend a hand at the studio.
Through it all, Stacey and Full Pedal have continued giving back to the community with food drives and fundraisers.
"Once all of this passes, I will rebuild this."
Stacey says it's very important to her to keep the doors open at Full Pedal especially during the pandemic, because of the proven physical, mental and emotional benefits of group exercise.
