I have always heard people talk about SoulCycle and how it is a great experience. After hearing so many positive reviews, I decided to try it out myself. Going to the studio the first time I was kinda nervous, I didn’t know what to expect besides the fact that my legs were probably going to be sore after. I found that the employees there were really helpful. When I told them it was my first time at a class, they helped me set-up my bike and made sure that I had everything I needed to ride such as shoes and water. The instructor also introduced herself to me and told me that if I needed help with anything to let her know.

When the ride began, I was not getting the rhythm and was having a hard time keeping up with the instructions. However, as the class progressed it became easier and I started to feel confident. The class was really fun, the instructor was really encouraging and the songs on the playlist were motivating everybody. The class was forty-five minutes long and by the end of it, I was sweaty and tired. Overall, I was proud of myself because it was an intense workout and I felt really good after a workout like that. After leaving the class, one of the employees asked me how it was and I told them it was great but challenging. He told me that a lot of first time riders feel that way and it is not till their third class when people find their rhythm. Since my first class, I have continued to go and found that he was right. After my third class, I feel that I can find the rhythm during the ride much easier. My experience with Soul Cycle has been enjoyable. It might not be for everyone, but I would encourage people to try it because it really is a fun and intense workout.     

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Byington and I am a Junior at Pace University majoring in Psychology and minoring in Communication Studies. My favorite part of going to Pace is living in the city, since there is always something happening! My favorite things to do in the city are going to SoHo, seeing Broadway shows, and trying new restaurants as much as I can. On my free time I like to read, write, and catch up on Netflix shows.  Â
