Maine member of the month: kim Ginevan
Sloane brought me into Jibe when she was home from college on winter break—really as a dare—— and though I struggled, I was instantly hooked.
I have been a member at Jibe since January of 2024 (about 1.5 years now).
The accomplishments and/or milestones that I am most proud of are some front row rides- but more importantly, regaining the confidence (after years and years of neglecting an exercise routine) to be comfortable in my own skin and ride in a tank top.
My most memorable experiences so far at Jibe, there are lots of "favorite rides" - but 2 of my most memorable rides would have to be 1) when (after riding in her Tuesday 6 am class a few times), Tika proactively moved my seat to "my usual area"- surrounded by my new friends and old when a spot opened up. The fact that she took the time to do that---knowing it would make my ride that much more enjoyable- made me feel so seen and supported. I knew this was going to be the place where I was going to commit to a new fitness journey. And 2) when Gracie played my new favorite song, "Pink Pony Club," the very next class after I requested it. I can't say enough about all the instructors- just a great group of strong, supportive women.
My favorite part of Jibe would be hard to choose between the incredible mental and physical benefits of being a member of the Jibe community - both have been tremendous. I can always count on my tribe to "pick me up" - on good days and bad- I love this team. Can't wait to celebrate 200 rides with Sloane this summer !!
