SoulCycle seemed to become the hot new trend overnight. All of a sudden, people couldn't seem to stop talking about these cycling classes. When I first heard of SoulCycle, I had honestly thought spending 30+ dollars to ride a stationary bike was ridiculous and stupid. Why pay all of that money when there were plenty of bikes at the gym I was already paying for? Well, the other day I finally tried my first SoulCycle class, and it was anything but ridiculous or stupid.

You know that saying "It's like riding a bike?" Well, whoever originally said that must not have been talking about a SoulCycle bike because it was hard. I got my ass kicked by a bike that didn't even actually move, and I definitely hadn't expected to. I didn't think that the class would be as difficult as it was, and I didn't think I would actually enjoy myself.

A SoulCycle class is 45 minutes of pure cycling. No breaks, just cycling. The music is loud and upbeat and the people in your class are pushing themselves to their full potential. Being in that loud, dark studio allows you to focus in on what you want to improve about yourself and how you want to feel after a workout session. At SoulCycle, they definitely make you feel like you're at home and that you're working to improve yourself.

I can't begin to tell you just how much I sweat in that class, but I know all of that sweat was more than worth it. After taking my first SoulCycle class, I felt strong and empowered and that anything was possible. I felt willing to take the first steps towards living a happier, healthier life.

So, if you have the chance to take a SoulCycle class, I would take it because you don't know when the next opportunity will come around. SoulCycle's mission is all about positivity and good vibes. It's about spreading a positive message and doing something that's very good for your body.

If you find yourself at a SoulCycle class or have the opportunity to take one, then I would highly recommend taking it because as difficult as it is, it really does feel so amazing to do something that pushes your body's limits. Try a class, or push yourself in other ways, because the way you feel in the end is worth all of the sweat you put into the class.
