Today I’m sitting down with Mayra to ask her a few quick q’s. The journey to becoming a coach for Mayra stems in Mexico. And it so happens that that’s where we met! We ultimately met while I (Steph) did a training for a studio in Mexico. Mayra was no rookie at training on a bike. I remember her form was impeccable, like legit I was like “ummm you’re great, what do you want to work on?” Her passion for the bike and transformation of the workout is what really stands Mayra out.

I am honestly so inspired by Mayra’s enthusiasm, passion and VIRGOOOO energy.

Enjoy this read.
