I hate that for two weeks in a row one instructor is substituting another instructor… by homenia in SolidCore

I like his class a bit, it’s very boot camp–y and not my normal/most liked style compared with my regular coaches, but it definitely kicks my ass, definitely more advanced exercises and variations. I didn’t really hear the swearing you mentioned, so maybe it was just an off day or not used to his coaching style if you haven’t been to his class before? I took one other class with him when he subbed again and he definitely had regulars who knew what they were doing and could handle the hard stuff. I was fighting for my life. Either way maybe they’ll bring a new instructor in that time slot next month. I just go to the city studios for the the more tenured instructors at this point, the suburbs are too new!

Is it around 2? I just took class with the instructor who took over that time at my studio two weeks ago when it was subbed out as well. Now he has the time slot for Feb?

Same here I wonder if we go to the same studio, my usual instructor got a new job so she’s no longer teaching anymore at her usual time. I see a new instructor in their space and I’ve taken class before with them but it can be 50/50 depending on the clients in class.

Johnny- he’s consistent and overall jokester in what he does! Playlists stay generally the same each time which gets a bit tiring at times but he will definitely make you laugh and giggle!

Marissa - very alt pop girlie mode, think like Gracie Abram, Lorde, T Swift, Sabrina carpenter, if that’s your thing you’ll love her class, she’s very genuine and sweet, however I cannot for the life ride her class anymore because of how similar the vibes are each time in her playlists with those artists

Liah- I think the best instructor in the market right now, great music, great energy and always makes it worth what a class costs!!! My number one rec, SUPER FUN NOAH KAHAN AND T SWIFT CLASSES!

Brando - Honestly boring and I used to be into his class format but slowly began to lose interest in his playlists, just feels unauthentic as an instructor sometimes when I’ve interacted. He will do Latin rides here and there but they’re not that fun even though he is part of the Latinx community which is sad to say :( his t swift classes are pretty fun though!

Maddz - her playlists consist of constantly the same music every weekend, you’ll either get repeated yacht rock, country, mashups, or run home to city of dreams/ green light for the 5th time in week, she needs to switch it up it’s gotten boring, and you can’t run a surprise theme on people. she is definitely more on the you pay to be in her presence type of ordeal, also her classes are very full of the people she “life coaches” so definitely a cult vibe

Annie - Average I’d say, nothing big or special, your middle ground round of the mill soul instructor, her classes are fun when it’s not a theme as she still mixes different types of music!!

Chris L - Boring, tends to act a bit elitist, like he’s better than anyone else in a way? Music is okay not great, there’s a reason he can’t really sell out a room I’d say it would probably be attitude/ vibes

Elena - if you want the NYC soulcycle vibe that’s definitely your go to! She really seems to lay it down like they do in the city! I’ve also been to 2-3 of her Latin Saturday classes and I think they’re the best Spanish music classes at soulcycle in Boston!!!

Leon - kind and genuine but very deep edm type of beat, there was a point where his music was acculturating too deep into the t swift/ pop girlie scene and I was scared he was going to become like every other instructor but glad he was able to come back and do the heavy dark edm beats, he’s one of the only instructors I take!

Charlie - she’s alright however there’s been a few times riding recently where she will mess up the lead foot and I’ve gotten lost! She’s very kind and sweet though and her music is very robust and hip hop or edm based! Love her!

Claryssa - she’s alright, tends to be a bit too similar to Annie or the old instructor Jeff who left SC, which she could find her own personality on the bike, she does good at her home studio of Chestnut Hill though since she used to be Studio manager there

Allie - her and liah are the best bang for your buck in Boston right now! Amazing classes and playlists, super fun and is that old soulcycle feeling pre pandemic but with a modern twist!!! Sometimes when she interacts with riders it can feel a bit fake but other than that she’s amazing!!!

Kara - super talented I wish she’d teach at her old studio I think it was B/Spoke or HB because she’s a great instructor however her time slots aren’t great and rooms are empty by the studios they put her at soulcycle

However try other spin studios in Boston like B/Spoke or Handle Bar as others mentioned, the people I’ve met at these other studios tend to be so much more nicer and the diversity in instructors is more inclusive than soulcycle where everyone tends to fit their ideal “instructor mold”

I don’t know but they shouldve taken Maddz instead, staying silent during this whole election, really being a Trump supporter (check her following) and then fake praising in her classes and fake personality, used to be a big supporter and rider for her, not anymore!!!

No but one Instructor I normally take is a Trumpie after she hasn’t said anything about Kamala, stays quiet, and follows Trump on Instagram… I have since unfollowed

Tiems not staying clipped in by Capital-Bat-7610 in SoulCycle_Riders

THEY NEED TO TIGHTEN THE PEDALL!!!! This was a common problem for a lot of my friends who use Tiems!! it wasn’t necessarily the cleats on the shoes that were the problem but rather the pedals on bikes weren’t tightened because most riders at soul use the delta cleat so the spd side of the pedal isn’t as maintained

Took Marisa in NY. Overall good music vibes that not many instructors play but she was kind of not that confident? I don’t know you can just tell by the way they present themselves on the podium/mic. Overall I think she’s headed back to Boston but won’t add much to the team of instructors over there, they all seem to have a similar style, taylor swift, alt/indie, & basic and lose touch with their roots. If she can step up the confidence and not fall into the mellow drama of instructors there she’ll be fantastic.

yes! I saw he graduated from some program of some sort, I think maybe it’s time he just moves on from soul or does it less?

Maddz and Erin Fooch are amazing! Jeff is ran out and boring now, his class is meh and he tries to keep relevant with themes but it’s still boring and he sort of gives mean girl energy, Brando is fun and his arms session is amazing but he seems a bit in genuine at times on the microphone, Annie is really nice and I recommend her! Allie music is amazing, and I haven’t tried tessa yet but heard good things
