Fitness Fashion: SoulCycle

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Say goodbye to your boring t-shirt and gym shorts you’ve probably owned since your freshman year of high school, and say hello to looking fabulous in your fitness gear! Fall is a season of change, so it is time to show off the hottest fitness trends while you workout! The luxury SoulCycle brand is taking the nation by storm. One 45-minute SoulCycle session is not just a spin class but a full-blown cardio workout incorporating weight lifting and core strength. Celebrities like Bradley Cooper, Katie Holmes and Kelly Ripa have caught wind of this trendy phenomenon. The SoulCycle experience has opened up the vast market of “workout chic” attire. These great SoulCycle styles will help to enhance your motivation at the gym, and you’ll look flawless at the same time. What are you waiting for? Let’s put some SOUL into your workout wardrobe.
