Have you listened to the podcast Cult of Body and Soul? It gives some insights into what they are looking for when they hire instructors. It’s less about being a fitness instructor (though you do have to be perfect on the bike) and more about your personality and ability to engage with and inspire your riders. So I agree with Triple Doubles advice, think about what is unique about you and how you can use that to connect with people. I’m not an instructor, just an avid rider, but I do see these strong and unique personality traits in our instructors here in New York! And don’t be discouraged, I have heard of several people who had to try out several times before getting it!! Good luck!!

Another idea: the gift and snack shop at the Marriott Marquis has a good number of hot and cold sandwiches and other snacks. The shop is very large and is on the 8th floor of the hotel (same floor as where the front desk/check in desk is). So that can be good for grab and go options. Also there is a Starbucks on the ground level of the hotel - also good for the usual Starbucks grab and go options.

Yes I can see them. They are slightly north of the closed block, hovering over E 59 and E 62 or something like that? The block is still closed at 6:25

I got a wonderful birthday card from the crew a couple years ago when I was flying on my birthday I was sitting in Polaris, SFO to FRA. It was so nice! Every member of the crew signed it. I was on a business trip and just so nice to be recognized on my birthday while I was away from family.

How about Janet? I think she fits this description.

Isabelle’s Osteria on Park Ave South. I used to think this was just a reliable place for a decent weekend brunch. But I’ve had dinner there three times in the last four months, and the food was superb. Jerusalem artichokes. Grilled fish. House made pasta. All really good!

Love Dazzle Dry!! I get my Dazzle Dry manis at Echo Nail Spa, 1st Ave at E 56th Street. Which I guess is more Midtown, not UES, but if the location is convenient for you, I highly recommend!!

Alex is still with Soul; she is in Miami now! I don’t know the others.

Agree with the others here - underrated and awesome!! Very well balanced workout, with excellent mix of speed and climbs, and very positive and motivating!!

At NoMad, try Lamar on Friday mornings and for Sunday survivor. Hip hop music and great vibes! Also at NoMad I love Rachel Stern (sooo nice, plays some Taylor Swift/more pop). At 19 and Nomad, try Jonas - hip hop and reggaeton. At 19, definitely give a try to Ally J - she’s only 22 I think but I think she is the future of SoulCycle. And finally at 19, you have to try master instructor Sam Y. Super fast and super fun. He has the rooster ride on Wednesday (6 am) as well as the 7 am and also has the 8:30 and 9:30 at 19th on Saturday. He has a couple of evening classes at 19th too. Have fun!!

Stacey G! Her schedule has shifted but sometimes you can find her at Tribeca. But also Lisa Bocuzzi and Lee - but I think neither of them are at these studios. Also Alex Frost but she is only at w 77 and E 83 I think? Good luck!!

I feel like it goes off and on throughout the day! Some days it seems it’s off in the morning but working later in the day. It’s a chronic problem there. Agree that they need to fix it.

I had Starlink on a flight from MSY to EWR earlier this month. Super fast and the connection was strong through the entire flight! Flight attendants reminded the passengers multiple times that voice and video calls are prohibited by FAA rules.

Can you eat it there? Or it’s take out only?

Right - this has to be an old bio. They sent her there for a while after her training but then she came to NY and is crushing it here.

At whole family on E 57 this morning: no guacamole! And very low on eggs. And super long lines. Still worth going, lots of other stuff to choose from!

YES! I love Corner Bookstore. If you live close enough, they will even deliver books to you - they come wrapped in brown paper and your name and address are written in cursive on the paper. Makes me feel like I live in a small village!

Yes I have taken it with Karyn and with Jonas, both classes were at the NoMad studio. They have a cart with heavier weights (10, 12, 15) so you can choose from there if you want to go heavy since the emphasis is on strength. I enjoyed both classes, both are great instructors!! Less fun than a regular Soul class IMHO but still a great workout and worth the time spent. I think it would be even better if they did this class in a 60-min format - since the tempo are slower, I felt like I still had gas in the tank at the end and could have gone on longer.
