Another magical thing about this location is close proximity to Pressed Juice. Pressed offers some amazing juices from greens to nut milks. They have two seasonal juices for the holidays, one was was a apple pumpkin and the other was a spiced almond which was magical. Even more magical was that Soul offered free juice coupons so you better believe I took advantage of a free seasonal juice.
The class was taught by Jenny Gaither who had a TON of energy in her class. Because the spin studio is much bigger than the other locations she was often found getting off the bike and skipping around. I also really liked how she came by and helped any of the newbies with bike set up. Her class was nicely varied (especially the playlist loved the Taylor Swift and old school tunes) with a fair amount of time climbing on the bike and several rounds of tapbacks.
I also got the opportunity to meet a great Bay Area blogger named Cassie be sure to check out her blog here. She has some great posts about yummy healthy snacks (HELLO Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Energy bites) and much more.
I’m thankful I got to try out the new SOMA digs and since I have some great Santa’s in my life (Soul Gift cards!!) I’ll be back soon!

I’ve always wanted to try a Soul Cycle class! I would be the newbie in the back always needing help though! 🙂
Alexa Brooks says
aww they are usually pretty helpful if you let them know you need help ahead of time.

This looks so fun! I’ve only tried a spin class once, but this seems to take it up a notch. I’m always on the lookout for good juice bar type places, and what a location! Maybe one will come to Seattle someday too!
Alexa Brooks says
You can order online for Pressed! 🙂

I’ve heard of SoulCycle before I just can’t participate in these types of things due to a disability.

I have a few friends in CA that love soulcycle! I still have yet been to a class but I should really suck it up and go to one 🙂

I love the name Soulcycle. We have married friends (soul-mates) who tandem race, they’ve been married 33 years. They would love this shop!

I have never tried a spin class before, but I hear they are seriously intense.

How fun! This sounds like a great time, and I’d love to try it some day. I’ve done a lot of road/mountain biking but I’ve never taken a spin class.

Ah, this looks like so much fun! If there was something like that around here I’d be more inclined to work out! LOL

Interesting, sounds like a great addition to the neighborhood! (I live in SoMA). 😀 Will have to check it out! Love the variety of opportunities and products we have here (like pressed juice), and glad you got the opportunity to try them both out!

Thanks for the shout out, Alexa! I missed out on free juices but I’m definitely getting my Pressed Juice on this week to get back on track! Hope to get to another class with you again soon (but maybe SoMa since it’s bigger even though Union Street is right by my house haha)
Alexa Brooks says
Nice! Let me know when you go back would love to join you!

Ahh I miss spin class, I used to work opposite a gym and go on my lunch break but sadly I seem to have lost my drive! Perhaps I’ll investigate again, spin really was my absolute favourite class 🙂
