Boom Cycle Founder Hilary Gilbert - Networking Speaker Event


The Lifestyle Club is bringing BOOM Cycle to our campus! Hilary Gilbert, the Founder and Managing Director of BOOM!Cycle, will be our guest of networking speaker event on Wednesday February 11th.


Hilary Gilbert herself

BOOM Cycle is a studio for indoor cycling with nightclub quality music and professional instructors - “an entertaining bike-based cardiovascular workout with style”. BOOM Cycle opened the first studio in Shoreditch in 2011, and its second opening is in Holborn. It is the only studio in central London having the Schwinn AC sport biked/mpower consoles.




Hilary discovered indoor cycling when she first moved to NYC for modeling in 2002, and used it to stay the perfect body shape for her job. When she moved to London in 2004, there were only a few gyms that offered spinning. Hilary saw the gap in the market and started working on the BOOM business plan. When she was asked about her most memorable moments since launching BOOM Cycle by Made in Shoreditch Magazine, she said:

"The excitement of how much interest we got whilst looking for investment and having the opportunity to go into business with some talented and wonderfully helpful people..."

"Learning to lay bricks and learning to use a needle gun..."

"Our first press night when our first ‘class’ took place. That’s when the studio officially became a studio."

"Building something of such huge stature with my partner, Robert Rowland."




The second week of February is Health Week hosted by Hult International Business School. Lifestyle Club has the honor of inviting Hilary Gilbert to our campus. Spaces are limited so please reserve your place on Eventbrite through myHult as soon as registration becomes available.
