For those who don’t know, SoulCycle is a New York City based high energy indoor cycling class. In my opinion, it’s like no other. I’ve taken several different spinning classes and this one is by far my favorite. So I’m here to share why I love SoulCycle.
Community
One of the reasons I love SoulCycle is for the community. Not only are the instructors awesome, the staff is super friendly and I always end up running into friends at the studios. I truly feel like I have a SoulCycle fam. When I take the class itself I feel connected with the people on bikes around me and I’m more motivated to work harder. I guess that’s a plus about group fitness classes.
Entertaining
SoulCycle truly keeps me on my toes. The 45 minutes fly by without me even noticing the time, which is the best part. I’m peddling to the beat of the music and following the choreography like it’s a dance class merged with a club. I for one love to dance, so the dance-like cardio workout is actually fun!
Quality
I believe SoulCycle prides themselves on their quality. Quality of workout, instructors, state of the art facilities, products, merchandise etc. The classes themselves are pricy but similarly priced to other fitness studios available. I love walking in grabbing a fresh pair of shoes, piece of gum, and hair tie before class. The studios themselves are all impeccably clean and tidy. The bathrooms have showers, and all of the best products. They have feminine care, razors, deodorant, blow dryers, shaving cream, face wash, mouth wash, the list goes on. It’s like a second home, but better because their showers are nicer than mine!
Great Sweat
Overall it’s a pretty hard class. I am somewhat spontaneous when I sign up for class so I take whoever is available at the location I’m closest to. It really varies. Because of my randomness I have taken a lot of different classes at different locations with different instructors. Every instructor has their flare and so every class is slightly different making them equally challenging. It’s a great sweat, and I never sweat!
Conclusion
For all those reasons and more I love SoulCycle and am super passionate about it, which is why I decided to share. I would love to be able to host group sessions in Maryland, D.C., and NYC! Please drop a comment in the notes if you’re down as I want to gauge the interest!
I always say that working out is my therapy and SoulCycle is not only a great cardio workout, but also a very positive, motivational, & inspirational class. For 2020 I am definitely making my health a priority and excited to continue my Soul journey. Are you with me?!

* Full disclosure I am a SoulCycle Ambassador, but all my thoughts and opinions are my own, truthful and honest. I do not affiliate myself with brands/companies that I do not personally love. I have always loved SoulCycle and thus became a partner after the fact.
