This One Is For All The SoulCycle Psychos (Video)

SoulCycle is all the rave in New York City. Some people love, others hate it.

SoulCycle’s website reads, “SoulCycle’s full-body workout has revolutionized indoor cycling and taken the world of fitness by storm. Combining inspirational coaching and high-energy music, SoulCycle offers an engaging workout that benefits both the mind and the body.”

This man took it upon himself to show us how he really feels about SoulCycle in this YouTube parody video titled “CyclePath.”

Hi, my name is Sammy Cycle and I’m the instructor here at CyclePathic,” the video begins. “Spinning is what’s IN now. Two years ago it was all about fro-yo. Last year it was all about gun violence. Now it’s all about a bike.”

Sammy Cycle then proceeds to instruct his class while shouting a rhythmic mantra: “I’m better than you, I’m better than you, I’m better than you. I have more money, have more money, have more money.”

You can probably guess what follows, as Sammy Cycle continues to mock SoulCycle with his own idea of what actually happens in a class, including using the soundtrack to “Schindler’s List” to motivate runners.

Each 45-minute class at SoulCycle can cost up to $40, with the class costing $34 and an additional $3 charge for shoes and $2 for water. The business opened in 2006 and has watched it flourish; according to The Daily Beast, the company plans to have 50 to 60 studios nationwide and in London by the end of 2015. For now, they’ve got a booming business in New York, California and the Hamptons.

Wall Street has been more than embracing to spinning, even going as far as to use it as a means of making potential connections with other business people.

John Abularrage, head of Tullett Prebon Plc’s Americas unit, takes his clients to SoulCycle, a Tribeca fitness center, for morning sessions. “Some of them are more eager than you would imagine to trade a heavy dinner or drinks for a workout,” he told Bloomberg. “When there’s a lot of entertaining to do for your job, you can get out of shape pretty quickly.”

This isn’t the first video to take shots at SoulCycle. The Crosby Press came up with “Soul Cycle for Homeless People” in its own video, where an instructor leads a class who use public parked Citi bikes to work out.
