KYLE
Kyle is a born and raised Durham native. He spent his early career with Duke Basketball and Duke Football before transitioning into sports tech at Teamworks.

CO-FOUNDER + STUDIO MANAGER
Hailing from Southern California, Ethan brought his golden state energy to North Carolina in 2019. After searching for months for the right exercise class, he discovered and fell in love with the high energy and uplifting spirit of spin classes.
As a recent Duke grad, you can find Ethan rooting for Blue Devils at a restaurant near you. Outside the studio, you’ll find Ethan out on a run around Duke’s campus and fulfilling Californian tropes of sipping matcha lattes and eating acai bowls.
ETHAN
Debbie comes from Atlanta, GA where she grew up dancing, playing volleyball, and tagging along in her two older brothers' outdoor adventures. During undergrad she discovered rythym-based cycling which combined her love of music and community driven activity and provided the support she needed to "make it out" of Georgia Tech.
She moved to Durham last year for graduate school at Duke in pursuit of her PhD in Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, and serendipitously found Revel! From dance to cycling the studio has always been a safe-space for Debbie and she is excited to support Revel as a safe-space for the community.
When she is not at Revel or in the lab, Debbie is outside and following the sunshine, either running, walking, or enjoying a good book.

SARAH A.
Sarah grew up in a small rural town in central Virginia before attending Virginia Tech for her undergraduate degree. She and her husband moved to Durham three years ago so she could pursue her PhD in Chemistry.
Outside of the lab, she’s an avid runner who has trained for two marathons since moving to North Carolina. An injury led her to discover spin, and it quickly became her favorite outlet for both challenge and stress relief.
When she’s not training, she’s usually curled up with a romance novel or spending time with her dogs.
