How many days a week do you SoulCycle?
"Six or seven."

Have you noticed a change in your body?
"A thousand percent. I have muscles I never knew I had. It totally changed the shape of my body. I'm probably in the best shape of my life."

What makes SoulCycle different than the average spin class?
"I always tell people it's like a dance party on a bike. It's so much fun! It's the only thing I look forward to at the end of the day. The music and instructors are really cool."

What are you hoping to gain from SoulCycle?
"I already have gained some good friends, it's like my therapy — I don't have to go to therapy. It keeps my fitness level up."

What do you say to people who call it a cult mentality?
"I would say try it because even if it is a cult mentality, you really get in amazing shape and it's a lot of fun."

Are their SoulCycle no-nos?
"I think the biggest no-no for me and for everybody is talking in class. You wouldn't be part of the team mentality."

Have you ever gone biking outside?
"No..."

Finish the sentence. My instructor is like my...
"My therapist."
