CycleWard was conceptualized and brought to life in January 2015 by cousins and native South Floridians, Lisa Anderson and Jamie Maitland, making their longtime dream of creating the type of indoor cycling studio they wanted to be part of a reality.
Anderson and Maitland have always been avid health fanatics and passionate about fitness. Growing up together in Fort Lauderdale, Maitland’s parents were both in the golf business, and her uncle—Anderson’s father—and their grandfather both played professional football in the NFL.
An appreciation for the importance of being health conscious and staying active and physically fit was instilled in both women at a young age. And those values, beliefs and mindset still resonate true, ingrained within them to this day.
It is that same shared passion for health and physical fitness combined with an inner-strength, work ethic and drive instilled early on in their upbringing that played an integral role in bringing their dream of opening CycleWard to fruition.
