20: Is Soul Cycle Safe?

I have some sad news to share with you.  I have been a fitness instructor for 38 years and taught many classes, and I have really enjoyed this work.  Recently, I have enjoyed taking other people's classes and trying new things.  However, when I see something that is unsafe, I feel an obligation to share my thoughts.  I recently visited SoulCycle, and I was bothered by some of their unsafe practices.  Listen to learn why I think CycleBar is better and safer than SoulCycle.

Safety is really important to me, and I saw some real safety concerns. [04:28] - CycleBar is better because it's safer. [05:51] - I tested CycleBar and came to this conclusion. [06:36] - SoulCycle is focused on speed, and not strength. [07:31] - My issue is more with the formula of SoulCycle. [08:29] - When I first went to CycleBar, I was not thrilled with my stats. That told me I needed to focus on strength, not speed. [09:14] - I'm worried about everyone looking at SoulCycle as the hot, new fad. [10:18] - In a recent Sacred Inner Circle session, I talked about safety with motion. [11:39] - People are going to hate you. Do good anyway!
