Personal life
Ghekiere worked as a fitness instructor and personal trainer when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020. With fitness studios closed in Belgium, she took part in and won a Zwift challenge to ride the most distance in one week where the prize was a fitness test with a coach in her native Belgium. Her test results were so impressive that the coach sent them to a number of prospective cycling teams and she was offered a first contract with the Bingoal Casino–Chevalmeire team.[4]
