Kiara is our ride-or-die, got-your-back, bass-dropping coach at Viv. Born and raised in sunny San Diego, she brings that easygoing West Coast energy with just the right amount of Denver edge (read: she’ll hype you up, push your limits, and make you laugh — sometimes all in the same breath). Her playlists bounce from house to pop to rap with zero warning, but somehow it all works. And when she cues a tap and push? Just know you’re about to feel unstoppable.

She joined Viv to give back to the space that helped shape her — and you can feel that intention in every class she teaches. Whether you’re on your first ride or your 500th, she’s there to remind you you’re not doing it alone. Outside the studio, she’s either perfecting a homemade mocktail, hanging with her cat, or going full-send on a new craft hobby (RIP to last month’s knitting phase). She’s curious, creative, and fiercely supportive — and we’re so damn lucky she’s part of the crew.

Some questions with Kiara:

What’s your go-to TV show? The Office — it’s my comfort show and I always end up rewatching it at least once a year.

What’s a random fun fact about you? I’m obsessed with at-home drink recipes — coffee, matcha, mocktails, you name it. Also, I have an insanely good memory, which is great for me… and kind of annoying for everyone else.
