Open Your Mind

Soul Cycle

The key to enjoying SoulCycle is to buy into it. A dark room, blaring music, a community of riders, and a stationary bike - this is not your average gym membership. But if you open your mind to the culty-ness, no matter how anti-mainstream you might be, you can find a workout more powerful than any mile you've ever run. The beautiful people all strutting around in spandex can feel intimidating, the cult mentality can provoke more of an eye-roll than a "sign me up!" attitude, but if you're willing to pay the $40 for a class in the first place you might as well give it all you've got. Who knows, maybe you'll end up actually enjoying it
