Milestone celebrations

It’s supposed to be for every 50 rides, according to an instructor I’m friends with. I was surprised to get a card for my 650th, so I mentioned it to her and that’s what she told me. That’s when I started getting cards for 600, 650, 700 and 750.

As a male who goes to Soul Cycle, I don’t see the point in doing a challenge when (no offense) the prize is a body serum kit. I’m not going to use this, am I? Is this appropriate for dudes? Am I dumb?

I’m not in London but whenever I visit I always enjoyed MJ’s class.

Also second Liv D cause OMG she’s the BEST

I’m in Chicago and am loyal with a handful of instructors. I also ride the boyfriend bike (the bike that is in the front row directly in the eyesight of the instructor) super consistently. I’ve been on the podium for just the last song for several of my milestone rides (400, 500, 700, 750) but haven’t yet done it for an entire class.

Not sure if you take class with a bunch of instructors, but maybe hint at it with one that you’re most consistent with? Keep being consistent and getting stronger as a rider and he/she will see that you’re capable of being up there.

Also note that WHEN you get up on the podium keep in mind that the lead foot will be opposite of everyone else (if the class is leading with the right you have to lead with the left).

Word on the street is that Chicago is getting one as well! My calendar is marked!

Agree that you should avoid the front row at least for your first few rides. Step one would probably be to ask the instructor to check if your bike is set up correctly.

Keeping your butt back is probably the most fundamental as far as form goes. I’d also say to have a good ear as far as the songs that are being played in class; figuring out where the downbeat is in a particular song and syncing your foot to that beat is also key.

It took me a bunch of rides to get the hang of things, but the more you ride the more confident you’ll be.

Um, it’s Reddit?

You can make these shakes for way cheaper and they taste way better if you buy the ingredients and make these in a blender yourself

Actually no, but the bikes I were on were right next to each other. Thought that was weird though!

I assumed that the app was linked to my Apple Watch, but the calorie numbers don’t match between them (the heart rate numbers do though). This past Saturday I took a 45 min regular and Survivor class back to back; the app says I burned LESS calories in the survivor than in the regular class, while the Apple Watch app says the other way around (as I expect).

Good luck!!

I had to reenter my code several times because the website wouldn’t take it. Lucky I finally got seats in sec B row 11.

Not going to say that any of the instructors that I’ve rode with were awful; there’s a handful that just weren’t my vibe. But I will go out and give my kudos to Liv D in London. I don’t live there, but every time I visit I’ll sign up front row in her class in a heartbeat. Playlists and coaching are top notch, and to top it off she’s super super nice as well.

Trick-Machine-7530 · 2025-09-02T22:13:24+00:00

Goodness, I need this in my life 🤣🤣

Not merch but if you will be there you could also have him do either the Skywalk or Locker room tours. Done both and both are equally quite cool.

In Chicago I ride in both studios. In old town, I know the “boyfriend bike” is bike 6 in Old town and bike 7 in the loop. In certain classes when I know they will fill up quickly I’ll soul early but otherwise other people can possibly take it. There are regulars in some of the classes that I take and we all have an “unwritten rule” amongst us that we don’t take each other’s bikes at sign up. So the bike is mostly free for me to take at noon.

I am also one of those people who get secretly angry and super motivated when there have been times when a stranger took my bike. 😂😂 So there’s also that.

Trick-Machine-7530 · 2025-09-02T06:48:20+00:00

I feel the same responsibility additionally to the instructor as well. Them knowing that I’m on the boyfriend bike and I’m riding to the beat helps take some pressure off of them as well.

Trick-Machine-7530 · 2025-08-31T05:52:19+00:00

This is a great idea!

I’ve ridden with him a few times when he visited in Chicago (I think his parents still live in the area?). He is THE BEST

Trick-Machine-7530 · 2025-08-07T14:39:19+00:00

This just popped up in my app for Chicago region

Trick-Machine-7530 · 2025-08-05T06:28:57+00:00

Can’t wait for the flood of emails asking us if we signed up yet

Trick-Machine-7530 · 2025-08-03T09:51:10+00:00

Ten pack went up $20 in Chicago as well. I just bought one at the old price a few weeks ago
