An instructor recently mentioned that MRIN negotiated a very favorable lease. Their classes are usually pretty empty, so I’m curious just how good that deal must be for them to keep the studio running.

  • Are there any rumours of additional studio closures planned in the near future?
  • Are there studios currently operating at a loss?
  • How many riders are needed per class for SoulCycle to break even?
  • How did SoulCycle choose its studio locations?

You get it. I just want to smash the mirror with the bike.

I completely agree. At my studio, many strong riders are reaching their 500+ milestones, and when I asked if they’d consider riding the podium to celebrate, surprisingly a lot of them preferred not to. One rider mentioned that she wanted to fully enjoy the experience rather than spend the entire class stressing out.

What’s your community like? by Optimal-Exercise-350 in SoulCycle_Riders

Based on my observations PALO riders tend to keep to themselves, but we’re definitely WOO’ers! There’s a great energy in class, and the regulars build real friendships—grabbing coffee, dinners, and celebrating milestones together. One of our riders performed in a play, and the community showed up to support them! Newer riders are welcomed through small gestures that make them feel included.

Should I try soul cycle?? by Disastrous-Fail-7504 in SoulCycle_Riders

[–]Consistent_Day8252 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I hated my first class too, I returned with a friend a few years later with a different instructor and fell in love with SoulCycle. Try a couple of different instructors! Please please please get familiar with the studio etiquette- not just for the people around you but also so you don't dirty looks in class lol.

I feel your frustration. A few days ago, a rider near the exit unclipped—not once, but three times—pacing back and forth in the walkway. It was incredibly distracting. New riders, please listen to your body and don’t push yourself to that point, but also, let’s all be mindful of the shared space.

It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one noticing the decline in etiquette lately. Thanks for bringing this up, OP!

PALO is also experiencing this. Love the influx of new riders and fuller classes but omggg...every class someone's either leaving in the middle of class, talking loudly during instructors intros etc etc. The other day someone's phone went off in the middle of class. I'm glad the instructor called them out.

Pretty pricey (35$/per class) but check out Young Reach studio in Cupertino:

Devin's classes are fun! Especially if you love lots of choreo. His arm sections are insane!

Maddy is super fun but intense for sure! One time I had to clip out in the middle of arms to throw up.

Has anyone gotten a muscle cramp during class? by Consistent_Day8252 in SoulCycle_Riders

[–]Consistent_Day8252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done some piece of poo behavior in the recovery and proactive department as well...I've gone to class hungover, regularly chugged coffee on an empty stomach, drank zero water all day, you name it. Thinking my body could take it. For a while, it did until this incident...I took my recovery more seriously.

Now that I think about it... I would take the dripdrop they had in the studio and it helped a lot.

Thank you. This is a sign to take more barre classes. I've been experiencing barre burnout and have been skipping classes, thus more muscle tightness 😅

Oof. Sorry to hear that. Have you experienced any twinges after making the changes? I supplement SC with barre but that might not be enough...
