Hola familia!!! To my New and OGs🤍 With so many new faces here, I wanted to re-introduce myself and share a little of my story. I’m Gustavo — 31, Venezuelan, bilingual, indoor cycling + mat + strength coach living in the US. Movement is my therapy, my passion, my purpose. I’m obsessed with helping people feel stronger, unlock their potential, and find their best, most grounded self 💫 I genuinely believe everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and connected — and movement is where I found that for myself. I grew up in Venezuela, spent part of my teens in Miami, went back home for my senior year and college, and eventually moved back to Miami again — this time with my partner, who later became my wife. We built a beautiful life together for seven years, and I’m grateful for every part of that chapter. But there came a moment where I realized something was missing. Coming out was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done — filled with shame, guilt, fear, and the weight of choosing myself for the first time. But that journey cracked me open. It taught me courage. It showed me that honoring your story doesn’t mean you stop writing new chapters and that you can always write a new one. Indoor cycling and my community became my anchor. Even when I didn’t realize how much I needed it. I’ve been coaching for 5 years, across 3 studios, different styles, lots of growth and for the last 3 years, I’ve had the honor of calling RYDE my home. My happy and favorite place. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me: ✈️ Traveling — my love language 🤝 Connecting deeply with people 🍕 Eating my way through life (pizza, truffle fries, a medium-rare steak or an arepa… always) 🎧 Listening to Beyonce, Bad Bunny, Karol G, Fred Again.. or Billie Eilish 🏋🏼‍♂️ Working out and living by example 📺 Watching epic TV (Game of Thrones or Dragon Ball Z forever) I love meeting new people, hearing your stories, and building community everywhere I go. I’m proud of my accent, proud of where I’m from, and grateful for the life I get to build every day. If you’re new here — welcome. If you’ve been here — thank you. Let’s keep growing, healing, moving, and finding our highest self, together. 🌱🌸✨
