Over the past few summers, spin classes have become the go-to exercise trend throughout the east end and beyond. It’s become known as a great way to release stress and burn fat, while toning muscle, finding enjoyment in the simple act of movement, and for some, a great way to change their bodies and lives.

SoulCycle offers a high energy, results-oriented and community based program, in which riders engage in high intensity cardio, while also toning their upper bodies using hand weights and core-engaging choreography. SoulCycle classes are held in candlelit studios, making riders feel like they are partying in a healthy nightclub. The dark, non-intimidating rooms allow riders to lose themselves in the workout.
Rides take place to one-of-a-kind playlists with instructors who are inspirational coaches, pushing riders to do their best on and off the bike, and integrate themselves within the community.
