Meet the instructors who will challenge and support you on your journey.
Ariel
After spending my childhood exploring my passion as an actress, I decided it was time to chase my other passion in life – fitness. While filming a TV series in 2016, I undertook my certification in fitness and decided to make it my mission to do every type of training possible, ranging from sprint training, pilates, boxing, HIIT and of course – Ride! I have trained in Ride all over the states and am ready to kick your butts into gear! Ride with me and expect to the workout of a lifetime!
My Mantra
“Just because you are struggling does NOT mean you are failing. Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there.”
“Comparison is the thief of joy”.
Music Of Choice
RnB ALL. THE. WAY! If you love Usher, Beyonce, Destiny’s Child, Rihanna – then I’m your gal. I can almost guarantee you’ll be able to sing along to every song while you ride your butts off.
Life Beyond The Chamber
When I’m not riding, I’m either training elsewhere or eating my way across Melbourne’s vegan cafes or cuddling my gorgeous puppy/boyfriend/nephews!
Andrea
Born and raised in Mexico, I came to Melbourne in 2018 for a new adventure! The moment I stepped in Bodhi & Ride I immediately fell in love with the community, the RIDE and the energy behind the tribe! Ride with me and expect to have a lot of fun. You will dance, laugh and have the greatest workout of your life.
My Mantra
“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty.” Oslo.
My Choice Of Music
Pop music combined with a lot of latino beats and electronic!
Life Beyond The Chamber
When I’m not riding you can find me walking my gorgeous labrador, exploring new delicious restaurants in Melbourne (yes, I eat a lot) and bar hopping with my friends!
Chelsea
As a lifelong athlete with a passion for a variety of fitness and sports activities, it’s no surprise I was drawn to take the podium as a Ride Instructor. Growing up I played field hockey and ice hockey through high school, and started skating at age 9. I captained my college/university field hockey team and won three league titles. I was a competitive boxer with an undisputed win in my first fight on the record! My goal is to inspire participants to get uncomfortable and try something that scares them a little bit because that’s where the change and transformation happens. You’ll see moments in class that are inspired by my athletic background, where we will push our pace, accelerate to reach top speeds and top resistances, and maybe try some boxing-inspired core and arm work integrated in the workout.
My Mantra
The moment you want to give up is the moment you’re about to transform.
What defines you is what you’re willing to struggle for. Strength is built by struggle.
Music Of Choice
I appreciate the experience of music, and building the perfect playlist is critical to me.
Expect to hear Hip hop, EDM, RNB. Any and all things Drake or Kanye, with a side of Sigala or trap DJs. Anything that gets your heart beating fast and propels you during the moments you need it most.
Life Beyond The Chamber
I love exploring various modes of fitness, including CrossFit, pilates, kickboxing, running, weightlifting, and power yoga. I’ve run a few half marathons and would consider a full marathon in the future! I’m a wine lover, and spend time exploring local cafes. I also love the outdoors and spend weekends hiking or flyfishing.
JK
Coming from a background in Musical Theatre, I’ve always had an interest in fitness. My real passion for it sparked when I started working in a fitness studio in London. From then, my love for it grew from strength to strength. It is now a huge part of my life. I strongly believe that fitness is not just about physical strength but your mental strength too. Get ready for loads of energy, bucket loads of sweat and banging tunes! Ride with me and you will release that inner bad ass!
My Mantra
Look in the mirror, feel the rhythm and release the fierce!
Music Of Choice
Anything with a banging beat and a heavy drop!
Life Beyond The Chamber
I am currently learning how to DJ and getting back into singing.I am also a big fan of brunch, so if you know any good spots, let me know!
Kate F
Originally from country NSW, I swapped motorbikes for spin bikes when I moved to Melbourne. But I’m still a country girl at heart.
After completing a degree in Musical Theatre and performance I found myself working as a content creator in a global video production company.
It was here that I discovered Bodhi and Ride, filming their debut event. At that moment I fell in love with the energy of rhythm riding! I was already a qualified yoga teacher, but I knew I wanted to add Ride instructor to my skill set.
I’ve never looked back!
My Mantra
When life gives you lemons, squeeze the living JUICE out of them!
Never take yourself too seriously.
Music Of Choice
My playlists are notorious for being a mashup of both new and old school, EDM, hip hop and epic pop anthems. I’ve even thrown a musical theatre bop in there at times.
I try to tailor my playlists to my class demographic and love for my tribe to have input in designing the classes they want!
Life Beyond The Chamber
My heart still lies in the country. So when I get a chance I always head home to the farm where I can ride my dirt bike, cuddle my dogs, fly my family plane, have campfires in the winter and waterski in the summer!! I feel the best when I’m barefoot, in the sunshine surrounded by trees and grass!
Also, LOVE a wine and cheese platter. Even in the paddock. Will find a way to incorporate them!
Michaela
A corporate drop-out, I knew I wanted to devote my life to helping people feel better about themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. I discovered spin classes in a London gym nearly 18 years ago! Back then, spin classes took place in smelly, brightly lit rooms, with bad music. From this moment I knew I wanted to re-invent spin classes. And I did. Ride with me and you’ll reset and leave feeling strong confident.
My Mantra
Live, Love, Laugh & Family.
Music Of Choice
Fun beat pumping, energy boosting vibes! (and lots of old school EDM… I was a raver back in my younger days).
Life Beyond The Chamber
When I’m not teaching, I’m working on Bodhi & Ride 24/7, hanging out with my family and my gorgeous puppy.
Claudia
I spent 10 years training as a gymnast, before discovering indoor rhythm ride 3 years ago. To me it’s the perfect combination of the grace in dancing and power in gymnastics. My goal is to give people an extreme workout, focusing on both physical and mental wellbeing. I will push you to believe in yourself and you will walk out of the chamber with a huge sense of accomplishment!
My Mantra
“Anything you wish to accomplish starts by believing in yourself.”
“You are your greatest asset, take care of you”.
Music Of Choice
I play a lot of pop remixes. I like to find remixes to songs that get you dancing. Love remixes with Coldplay, Maroon 5, One Republic, Imagine Dragons. But for sure you can always find a Latin song along my playlist!
Life Beyond The Chamber
When I am not riding I like to hangout with my friends. I love going out for a nice big breakfast (eggs and pancakes)! Essentially, I love any activity/place that involves food!
Wen
Born and raised in Malaysia, I’m currently living in the beautiful CBD and pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree at RMIT. I’ve always been passionate about fitness but have struggled to find a type of exercise that I LOVED. When I took my first Rhythm Ride, that all changed! I love music and I love sweating, combining the two together feels like I’m clubbing, except I know I won’t regret the next morning! When you ride with me, you will disconnect from the outside world. You’ll create an alter ego and release the inner beast. I want you to know that in my rides you can freely be yourself. I want you to leave feeling strong and empowered!
My Mantra
Turn the PAIN into POWER.
Music of Choice
EDM is my life and I can’t teach a class without it! I have been exploring a lot of different styles lately so you’ll be noticing me adding some R&B, Pop Remix, Trap etc…
Life Beyond the Chamber
I’m a foodie, I love eating and exploring different cafes and restaurants! I rate almost every restaurant on Instagram to share my experience.
Zac
After cutting my ride teeth on the mean streets of West Hollywood I returned home to Perth with Rhythm Ride in my blood. Melbourne, if you love to feel good. If you love to sing , sweat and remember the truth about how much you have to celebrate then come ride with me.
My Mantra
You are exactly where you are meant to be in this moment. The timing of your life is perfect.
Music Of Choice
The best wedding DJ of your life. Songs that everyone can sing to (and I expect you to sing).
Life Beyond The Ride Chamber
Travel, take me to the Caribbean and put a rum in my hand, crank the tunes and let’s sit by the beach all day!
Gemma
I’ve tried my hand at every sport under the sun (rowing, boxing, yoga, netball, athletics and even sport aerobics), but I’ve always loved rhythm riding! After living in Toronto and London, I moved back to Melbourne where I found my place at Bodhi & Ride. I loved it so much that I was inspired to take to the podium for the first time. Ride with me and we will come together as one tribe and smash the glass ceiling every single time. Expect plenty of high-fives, good vibes and a LOT of energy.
My Mantra
“I’m a firm believer in ‘Act now, think later’ for 99% of my decision making, especially when it comes to my classes. Act now = Just RIDE!”
Music Of Choice
Get ready for a mixed bag of feel-good tracks you can sing too, RnB vibes, pop remixes and a few bangers to let your hair down to.
Life Beyond The Chamber
When I’m not riding or walking around counting ‘1,2,1,2’ to every song I hear, I love spending as much time in the great outdoors, either camping or by the beach!
Caitlin
I’m the bubble person at 6am. Enough said surely? After swimming for years, I turned to the sand, snow and the fitness industry. After some time away instructing, I’m returning to Bodhi and to my obsession of RIDING with my Tribe!
My Mantra
“Sweat and smile.”
“Just be yourself.”
Music Of Choice
Techno, Dubstep, Electro, House… anything with a big beat to get you in the zone! There’s always an “OH YES!” from the crowd.
Life Beyond The Chamber
I’m a seasonal extremist; the winter is made for skiing and the summer is made for the beach! But really, if I’m not teaching I’m clipped in at Bodhi or shaking at K-Kore… or eating, always eating.
Amber
I was born and raised in beautiful British Columbia. I love travelling and have been lucky to spend time in beautiful parts of the world (Cuba, Mexico and Hawaii. I’ve also lived in Tokyo). I began instructing in Vancouver 7 months ago and am excited to bring my passion for music and my sweet dance moves to the Bodhi Tribe. Ride with me for high energy and unlimited motivation.
My Mantra
“You can do anything for 30 seconds.”
“There is no such thing as failure, only growth.”
Music Of Choice
This is a tough one – I like a bit of everything! You can expect throwback hits to modern rock to heavy EDM – you will never know what’s coming next.
Life Beyond The Chamber
When I’m not riding you can find me anywhere from visiting a local brewery or winery to checking out a new café to hanging at the local watering hole with friends!
