I went to my first Soul Cycle Class yesterday and I couldn't keep up with most of the class but I did feel I exorcized some demons! The energized instructor encouraged us repeatedly to "let go" on a spiritual level and on the most physically of clutching on to the bicycle....and rather use our core muscles.... Class was too hard for me but I was really happy to just be part of the optimistic up beat energy.
I sleep deeply for the first time in a long time since I was attacked at Dr Andrew Fagelman by his receptionist office manager "Delite". I can't make this up. I got about 5 hours of sleep as opposed to 2 or 3 or 4 hours.... My goal is a 6 hour night of sleep, 7 would be amazing. The lack of sleep, PTS, are major factors for why I have developed a HUGE tummy along with trauma and over eating.
Let's just say the worst customer service on the planet at an MD's office in Soho, NYC is why I am in such bad shape...let's hope more positive experiences like yesterday's at Soul Cycle is why I may heal and regain my slimmer self....?
In contrast to Dr F's horrific customer service, Soul Cycle has the most amazing customer service that rivals Apple.
I got a free pass which I really appreciated because I am not in shape and I won't be for a while...
but I am willing to give Soul Cycle a try.
I feel like a giver but Soul Cycle is beyond giving....free gum at the counter, the shower rooms very clean and so many thoughtful amenities where ever you look. The staff helps you set-up and supports you if like me you are anxious.
I was once a great athlete but I am over 50 and do to the trauma of violent assault and than being threatened by the NYPD it has been a rough almost 2 years and I have gained over 10 pounds which feel like 50 pounds and barely sleep and my neck is in bad shape.
The Soul Cycle teacher shouts optimistic words to drive you to push yourself along with really cool uplifting energizing music.
...I couldn't push -- Age 52 and day one of my period (40 years of menstruating ), my vision damaged from a running punch to my retina, laser surgery and a macular pucker left me confused at first -- I was next to the right wall by the exit in case I had to run to the bathroom during the 45 minute class...so when I looked to my left in the darkish room I thought I saw smoke but no it was damage to my retina from the attack. My right achilles tendon is very swollen and my neck hurts from arthritis and from damage from the attack...
despite doing less than 1/2 of what the main stream Soul Cyclers where up to I felt dramatically better after class.
You don't get to think about what upsets you when you participate in Soul Cycle which I did to the best of my ability and I did the bare minimum but I highly recommend giving Soul Cycle a try.
The staff is AMAZING and kind. They will give you tips and help you snap your rental shoes on to the bicycle.
I have run 2 NYC marathons and I have done all kinds of sports over the years but at this time in my life I am doing less with the goal to just be part of the class but not try and do it all.
I just got another free pass to try my 2nd class Thursday morning!
I bought a Soul Cycle t-shirt that says "Soul" and has a cycle on the back and with it came the coolest silver bag.
I hear it takes aprox 10 classes to get acclimated. I am willing to give it a try!
The staff are so positive minded and kind and at age 52 with a big belly from stress and upset lack of sleep I will try almost anything that won't allow me to think about what upsets me for 45 minutes and gives me hope I may be able to fit in to pants I wore 2 years ago before the assault!
I can't wait to wear my Soul Cycle t-shirt.
Soul Cycle has disposable razors and Aveeno shaving cream so I was inspired to get some Aveeno and focused on being a consciousness shaver... haven't done that in a while either...
I can't tell you I am going to stick with Soul Cycle.... I can't imagine making it through 10 classes but I want to try...
I want to fit in to pants I wore before I was attacked at an MD's office in Soho by a crazy violent lying receptionist and the NYPD and Internal Affairs weren't any better.
Despite a massive weight gain and binging on a bag of popcorn after Soul Cycle last night I did feel better about myself today and a tad more hopeful.
I feel very weak right now and I have to rest.
I made this YouTube Parody the Tale of Two Bills -- you would have to understand NYC Politics to fully get this short parody.
Go Thursday morning Soul Cycle is to have some fun and think happy thoughts!
