For every ending, there’s a new beginning. For every high, there’s a low. For every “failure”, theres a lesson learned. For every bad moment, there’s a blessing around the corner.
Rukus has seen me at all stages of my adult life. I have graduated college, gotten engaged + married, experienced a pandemic, been pregnant and welcomed a baby girl into the world all while being apart of a community that spins in a dark room, on bikes that go nowhere.
I’ve been blessed to meet and cherish friendships with people who are genuine and have such a positive outlook on life, if you’re reading this and thinking you’re one of them, you’re probably right. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’ve had conversations about life, philosophy, relationships, travel, random facts about football teams or the history behind the most odd ball items. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve celebrated and I’ve mourned.
And while all of the above is true, and while I will forever be eternally grateful for the people who took a chance on me, both employers and riders, there will always be a small piece of my heart missing. This place has taught me more than I could have ever imagined. The people who I call my bosses have given countless hours of their personal and professional life to ensure each rider was taken care of. There was never a rider who felt inadequate and never a rider who felt intimidated because it was their first time. Rukus’ mission from day one was to be inclusive to all fitness levels and to create an environment that people looked forward to coming to each and every day. A home away from home.
I had the opportunity to open countless studios, manage two and teach in the CycleArena at three. I will forever be grateful for the lessons learned, the memories shared and if you were at all any part of that, thank you🤍
We’ve got one last ride together before we close the door on this chapter and I hang up my shoes for a while. So I’ll see you Thursday at 5:15. It’s good vibes only so show up and let’s make some fun memories together💚
