Show Notes
Jess is a joined by a career fitness professional to go inside the culture of their former cycling employer, while Jess shares her personal experience with SoulCycle. We go deep on: lack of certifications required to teach spin, the "training programs" at different studios, instructors abusing drugs, sexual accusations from riders and the "God Complex" cult of personality these studios cultivate. Plus, stories from Equinox/Soul corporate, the Peloton fall-out and more.
