The Genesis of Chivo Cycle

The Chivo Cycle method is the culmination of Damaris' personal journey and passion for fitness, combined with her academic background in anthropology, instructional design, and international business.  Since 2017, she has been immersed in the world of indoor cycling, exploring studios across the US and even venturing abroad to experience different teaching styles and training techniques. Damaris has learned from some of the best instructors in the industry, and she has combined that knowledge with her formal education to create a truly unique and effective approach.

Damaris' background in anthropology, which includes undergraduate coursework in wellness concepts, provides a deep understanding of human behavior, culture, and social dynamics, which she applies to create inclusive and engaging fitness experiences that cater to diverse needs and preferences. Her PhD-level coursework in instructional design at Liberty University has equipped her with the skills to develop effective and engaging learning experiences, which she applies to her Chivo Cycle instructor training program and class formats.  She also holds a BA in Anthropology from the University of Arkansas and an MBA in International Business from John Brown University, which has been instrumental in building and managing the Chivo Cycle studio.

Her goal with Chivo Cycle is to create a space where everyone feels welcome, empowered, and inspired to achieve their fitness goals.  Damaris believes that fitness should be joyful and accessible to all, and she is committed to providing a diverse and dynamic experience that celebrates individuality and fosters a strong sense of community.

So, come join us at Chivo Cycle and experience the difference!  You'll discover a workout that's more than just exercise; it's a celebration of movement, music, and community.
