Our Hype Team
We'd like to introduce you to our team. Here at Hype we love for our instructors to bring their own style and spice into their classes. Not every class you go to will be exactly the same. We believe that there is a class and instructor for everyone. We all motivate but in our own ways.
All of our instructors will provide you with a comfortable and safe environment, every visit!

Ron Kopecki
Meet Ron, a co-owner of Hype Fitness Studio. Ron has been inspired by his wife Stefanie to hop on the bike and instruct indoor cycling. His personal journey is beyond inspiring. Years ago, Ron was not confident with his figure. Everyone around him made jokes that he was “too skinny” as a male. Ron turned that criticism into fuel and educated himself on strength training and nutrition. He gained a total of 75 pounds strength training which is why he is so passionate about it. Ron works full time for the City of Buffalo and is also a full time husband and father to his beautiful wife and two kiddos.
Ron enjoys listening to a wide range of music. He enjoys all genres so plan to have very interesting and wild playlists! Stay tuned to see more of Ron on Hype's schedule.

Shamyr Toledo
Meet Shamyr! Aside from his full time job as an Operations Supervisor for the Peace Bridge Authority, Shamyr spends most of his free time reading, playing video games, trying new restaurants, or simply being a couch potato. Like everyone, finding time, motivation, and discipline to exercise can be a challenge and it’s something he struggled with until he found my love of spin some years ago. Since he hopped on the bike, Shamyr hasn't turned back. He got certified as an indoor cycling instructor through Madd Dog Athletics to be able to share his love for it with others. His interests in fitness soon expanded into weight training and step aerobics. Shamyr can’t wait to sweat it out with all of you, he'll see you on that bike soon!
