Jack Bauer was born and raised in a small farm town right outside of Chicago. After getting a bachelors in theater, he spent two years working for corporate America in sales before realizing that it was time to shift into something more meaningful. He started dabbling in personal training, working for commercial gyms and dedicating himself to losing over 100 pounds by modifying his diet and exercising.  Eventually, he met one of his mentors, senior SoulCycle Instructor, Jaclyn Mitgang, who took him under her wing and showed him the world of SoulCycle. After several months of riding with Jaclyn in Chicago he decided to take the ultimate leap of faith and audition to be an instructor for SoulCycle. Turns out that after a second go-around of auditioning he got the job and the next thing he knew, he was in an 8 week intensive training in NYC. At the end of the 8 weeks Jack was asked if he'd consider relocating to Austin, Texas to teach--and he said yes! Currently, Jack is a full time instructor at SoulCycle and a Personal Trainer at PE Fitness in Downtown Austin. In his spare time, he loves traveling, personal training, and empowering others to find their light and shine bright!
