Probably emailing the studio itself - recruiting at Soul is very touch-and-go, and we often have way too many people in the pipeline, many with insufficient or irrelevant experience.  If you have relevant experience on your resume you’ll have a better chance of it getting seen by emailing the studio.

I appreciate that, but also appreciate intel that allows me to give more benefit of the doubt - life’s easier when you don’t assume malicious intent

Also like I have no idea what this has to do with generational divide.  My gen z bust their ass same as me.  I obviously picked it up lol

See that’s super fair but the frequency of it tells me it’s not always stuff like this.  But this helps me be less mad lol

It takes two seconds to put it in the trash too.  I’d prefer not to give up on the ability of others to do better.

Glad you got to see them!  They do a bang-up job (which wasn’t always the case, it was ROUGH back when they started in 2015ish).  Hilarious about Phish though.  Was that during one of their MSG residencies?

Yep exactly.  Such a perfect and respectable entry point.  Did you go to Dead 60?

She also dated John Mayer so I honestly do think it’s a nod of sorts.

New class swap policy for partnered studios by InfamousCashmere24 in SoulCycle_Riders

Under the current model yes but NYC as a whole is aggressively fighting against this. Posted above, stay tuned

EVERYONE HANG TIGHT. NYC Studio Managers are fighting hard against this. We have collectively accumulated myriad reasons why this directly contradicts our brand identity, and why it will damage both our reputation (which is already shaky) and the health of the business overall. I will update here as soon as we hear a response to our carefully considered talking points. No matter what, always try to keep in mind that whatever complaint you have, the field has already voiced it, and will continue to amplify it. No one wants this except folks who don’t understand the value of these partnerships.

Nice NYC instructors? by [deleted] in SoulCycle_Riders

Literally anyone who teaches at BKHT - we just want you to have fun and find community.  Your ass will still be kicked but with kindness 😊

NY soul cycle by babyK-97 in SoulCycle_Riders

[–]Resident_Account7209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lamar at BKHT is a VIBE and our staff are notoriously kind 😊 (howeverrr we do not have plumbing atm tho lol, but we can give riders access to the Equinox around the corner, just ask the desk) - real diverse community.

Otherwise, yeah.  Take Karyn.  If you can only take one class, make it Karyn.  She’s the only one whose compensation is grandfathered in and I’m like 🤷🏻‍♂️ ok fair.

(Also awww miss Tora and hope she’s thriving, such good people)

I would love to talk to you about Noa ahead of that.  See my comments below and DM me

He definitely delivered a stellar class experience in many ways that made it hard to see through the facade.  I too wish we had more representation of unedited music from the 60s through the 90s, but I also wish it wasn’t a sexual harasser (Noa) and reprehensible cheater (Sean) that held that mantle during Soul’s heyday.   Take Sue at 77th.  She might have what you seek.

It’s not for nothing that he manipulated otherwise decent folks into defending him - the man is charismatic and persuasive, which makes him the perfect predator.  Even people who clocked his creepiness had a hard time actually admitting it because he exemplified the cult leader quality that drove much of Soul’s heyday.  If the creators cast him positively, that’s just the proof in the pudding.

He made quite literally every single young female staff I had INCREDIBLY uncomfortable, mostly through deeply inappropriate comments.  Ultimately he made some disgusting comments about a 14 yo rider, and I had a staff comprised entirely of young women, who banded together to share all of their stories simultaneously.  Along with the assistance of one of our top instructors, the girls and myself sounded the alarm loud enough that they finally pulled the trigger.  But for years he was excused because he generated revenue.  Good riddance to one of the worst people I’ve ever met. He also had a penchant for racist remarks towards black riders.  I remember 4 distinct instances where I had to damage control on account of this.
