ABOUT FOUNDER ALLISON OTTJEPKA

Local Detroit Chef Allison Ottjepka turned Cyr Wheel Performing Artist Founder and CEO of SPINNOVATION DETROIT

At the age of 15 Allison started working & training in the culinary arts. Around this time, she turned to Hula Hooping as a core strengthening exercise to combat scoliosis. Hula Hooping for strength quickly turned into a love for Fire dancing, Lyra, and other Flow arts. Her passion for hooping and flow arts existed through local band jams, music events, and festivals when she wasn’t busy catering them.

At age 22, Allison was introduced to Cyr Wheel for the first time, after a local band practice, one of her band mates said, “Alli Check out this Hula Hoop video on the internet”, and Allison’s Cyr Wheel Adventure began. The journey first sparked with attempts to forge her own wheel, searching for teachers, classes, and other artists. After much research Cyr Wheel Instructor Sam Tribble, former Olympic Gymnastics Coach and participant was found. Sam Tribble offering formal Cyr Wheel instruction, and the most efficient teacher training though his program PAT (Progressive Axis Training) was thrilled to take Allison on as a student.

After her first training session in California, Sam and Allison continue to travel between California and Michigan to train quarterly. Allison is currently PAT level 2 certified, spinning towards level 3. Knowing there was no resource for Cyr Wheel in Michigan, Allison founded Spinnovation Detroit – a Cyr Wheel Training and Entertainment Company. Allison Ottjepka is the leading Cyr Wheel Performer and facilitator in the state, and CEO of Spinnovation Detroit. With a large Wheel inventory of all sizes, Spinnovation Detroit is available for anyone to learn how to spin for fun and exercise. As the Cyr Wheel community grows in Michigan, Allison is busy full-time training, teaching, performing, and hosting Workshops. Outside of Instruction and Entertainment Allison is involved with multiple artist collaborations, ie, “Where the Wheel Goes” – “Urban Spin Adventures.”
