Every time I go into the downtown area of my town I pass a SoulCycle studio. For those of you that don't know SoulCycle is an indoor cycling studio that has been sweeping the nation. SoulCycle is just one of my spinning studios around the country. I have always been interested in trying a spinning class but have been deterred by the hefty price tag. 1 class at SoulCycle costs $30. You can buy packs of classes which tends to be less expensive, I, however, could never justify the price.

Earlier this week my friend told me about this spinning studio called Zengo. She said it was an amazing workout and less expensive than SoulCycle. They offer your first class for free so I figured I would go check it out. We signed up for a 7:15 a.m. class which was interesting because I am by not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. Some people are excited by the morning, I am repulsed by it. The prospect of waking up at 6:30 was daunting and seemingly impossible.

Shockingly enough I got my ass up and out the door on time and let me tell you, I am SO GLAD I did. I am now completely obsessed with spinning. When the class first started I genuinely thought I was going to pass out. It was hot and I could barely understand nor keep up with the instructor. However, after about 20 minutes I finally felt like I was getting my grove. I could cycle on the beat and climb the "hills" with the best of them. Exiting the class I was drenched in sweat. My clothes weren't sweaty, they were soaking wet.

After my class, I finally understood why people are obsessed with spinning classes. Not only is it a phenomenal workout but you get an incredible rush of endorphins at the end. It helps me kick start my morning and puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day. While the price tag may be a little high, in my opinion, it is totally worth it!
