Inspiration: After discovering Pyramid from the WAYF soundtrack, I found their Synthesis track on Spotify and came up with the obvious name for this ride...a blend of Spinning and Amazing Spotify Tracks: S(pi)nthesis. This mix is packed with enough good music to fill your full hour ride...and more music from the WAYF movie soundtrack. Hop … Continue reading S(pi)nthesis 281

This morning I was at this Soul Cycle studio for a class with Naz. A good class, great music and lots of sweat! By far, the most impressive cycle studio I’ve been to yet! And should be for the price of admission (although my ride was free this time!)
Last weekend, my boyfriend (Nick) and my parents and I traveled to Chicago for my Uncle’s wedding weekend! We had a fabulous time with family and friends, but it was also an opportunity for us to explore the Windy City, as out of the four of us, only one of us had ever been there before. One of the many things I was looking forward to was a class at one of SoulCycle’s newest location – LOOP.
SoulCycle is comprised, currently, of 45 indoor cycling studios spanning the US from NYC to California. Since the studios are mainly located in bigger cities, at this point in time, I wanted to take advantage of having access to a studio and see what the SoulCycle experience was all about!
The LOOP is located at 111 West Wacker Street, and my experience began as soon as the studio came in to my view! The studio…

It’s Wednesday!
Did you say SPIN PLAYLIST?
Check it out…
7 mile heatwave run done this morning. Holy heat and humidity…this was a tough one but I always feel happy to be done! Thankfully I got it done before the triple digits hit later today.
Let’s get straight to this week’s spin playlist! One of my favorite things I love about being a spin instructor is seeing folks have fun with it and groove on their bikes to the music. Having fun and working hard for me go hand in hand!
