Debbie Rocker

WALKVEST Founder

Debbie Rocker’s  point-to-point World Record for crossing the United States in a mere twelve days on a tandem bicycle (with her female  bicycling partner) remains undefeated and is still recognized by the Ultra Marathoners Association. As a marathoner her personal best is 3:18. She is  one of the original developers of Spinning.

Her celebrity clientele has included Ellen Barkin, Valerie Bertinelli, Michael Chiklis, Kristen Davis, David Duchovny, Jennifer Grey, Rachel Hunter, Judith Light, Carrie Otis, Julianne Phillips, Lisa Rinna, Courtney Thorne Smith and Rod Stewart, as well as sports icons such as Kurt Rambis.

Debbie Rocker is a world-record holder and a fitness revolutionary whose fitness philosophy stresses mind over muscle. Most recently she is the founder of The Ride by Debbie Rocker in Sherman Oaks, Calif., the first exercise studio pairing indoor cycling with yoga.

Rocker is one of the developers of "spinning," a high-intensity cardiovascular workout that became a ?90s phenomenon and a staple in gyms across the country. She has been motivating and training people of all ages, shapes and sizes (including such celebrities as Demi Moore and Rod Stewart) to use fitness to change their lives, as well as their bodies.

Rocker began her career as a competitive swimmer and NSTA circuit tennis player. In 1988 she set the world record for transcontinental tandem cycling, which she continues to hold.
