SoulCycle: Indoor Cycling

I travel often with my work which inevitably makes finding time, space, and community to support exercise challenging. Yet, as a 42 year old woman who works primarily at a computer, rigorous exercise a few times a week is necessary to stay healthy physically and mentally. While in London for work, I walked by a SoulCycle and on a whim popped in and registered for a class. I fell in love. I loved the teacher, the playlist, the community energy, and the sweat! I now plan my hotel stays in relation to the nearest SoulCycle! It's true that the teachers are exceptional. I'm so glad I found this community and workout. I build community for OpenAI and can also attest to SoulCycle's skill in the area of community building. You really feel a sense of belonging when you walk into a class, even if you've never been to that location before. I've found this to be especially true in London and Austin.

Although I am new to soul cycle, all I have to say is wow! Now you may be able to find a cycling class just as great as this one for a lower price but the setting is just amazing! The dimmed lights and the motivation from the trainers is just great. There is no need to feel conscious of your body when you’re in this room and you are comfortable and safe. No one is judging you and this is coming from a thicker girl who has faced body shaming greatly. The classes make you feel proud of yourself and wanting to aim for a better lifestyle in terms of health. The bathroom and lockers are amazing with great space and room to change and take a good shower. Overall would recommend however if on a budget try finding another cycling class since the prices add up. If you want to gain motivation to make your body feel better and feel confident, this is the class for you!

I have just moved to Washington, D.C. and I have a very busy schedule working 2 jobs and training full-time as a classical musician, along with having my own styling company. It’s a LOT. I decided to take a leap and try SOULCYCLE recently and it has been a life saver. The best thing about it (besides the amazing facilities, friendly staff/instructors, fantastic merch, and -of course- the class itself) is this app. Working out with SOUL means that you don’t have to commit to a weekly/monthly schedule or payment plan. With this app I can book classes around things in my calendar, not the other way around. I can also look up music that I’ve listened to in classes and it’s help me discover a lot of really amazing artists. I’m really grateful to have found SOUL- there’s no place like it!
