SoulCycle High






If you have discussed workouts with me lately in person, you probably heard me profess my love for SoulCycle which I recently started going to. I have been spinning for about 3 years, but my outlook and love for indoor cycling changed when I tried SoulCycle.

What is so great about it you ask? Besides the buckets of sweat that you will release...the energy, music and atmosphere of the club make it totally different than any other cycling class. Even after class when 45 people are drenched in sweat and making their way out, the club still smells fresh. In a way it is the mindset of yoga and the intensity of cardio combined. You leave class drenched in sweat and on such a high for the rest of the day.

45 minutes flies by with sprints, tap backs and crunches. There is even an arm series with light hand weights. You may only be lifting 1-2lb weights, but after 5 minutes your arms are BURNING.

The candlelit studio and motivational words along the walls help you to stay fierce. (Thanks to my friend Kristi for sharing this pic!)



I love that they have numerous class times so there is something to fit in to every schedule. During the week I have been making it to the 4:15 classes which are PERFECT for me. I shoot over to the Woodbury studio straight after work, stop for Starbucks, and ride the afternoon away.

Last week I even invested in my very own #Soul apparel. Now I really fit in!



This mornings' class included some of my favorite tunes like Fancy by Iggy Azalea and Style by the one and only Taylor Swift. The energy by the end of class was definitely turned up as we all swung our towels around in unison.

So that is the deal with SoulCycle. You leave class and that high is with you for the rest of the day. There is always a motivational message to take away with you which can really help turn your day around for the better.
