Cycling studio co-owner comes full circle

Jake Maulin was in his hotel room in the south of France when he received a Skype call that would shape the next stage of the fitness enthusiast’s life. He and his wife, Holly, had previously bought a home in Naples and were taking a career break when a former client, Mark Washburn, contacted him with an opportunity.

“He said, ‘We know you are coming back to Naples, and are you interested in opening a CycleBar?’” says Maulin. “I went back to my wife and told her, ‘I think I just got a job.’”
