SoulCycle is known for its high-energy, reinvented indoor cycling experiences and now Retreats by SoulCycle offers a way for the devoted community to travel with the brand. SoulCycle is breaking into the travel market with the aid of luxury travel company Black Tomato. The travel experiences are about more than just fitness, as they provide the opportunity for members of SoulCycle's community the chance to bond over everything food to culture.
The first Retreats by SoulCycle were recently held at Austin and Texas Hill Country, offering soul-nourishing mindfulness meditations, healing workshops, morning movement sessions and SoulCycle classes, as well as chats around the campfire with S'mores. Ultimately, SoulCycle aims to help attendees reflect, recharge and reconnect through these travel opportunities, which balance time on and off the bike.
