Why People Are Leaving SoulCycle
Price-to-value gap: The workout itself — 45 min spin in a dark room — is replicable anywhere
Instructor exodus: Many top instructors left after the 2020 controversies and now teach at competitors or independently
Studio closures: SoulCycle has closed dozens of studios since 2021
At-home spin revolution: Peloton, Apple Fitness+, and free YouTube rides eliminated the need for in-studio
Alternatives (90% Cheaper)
Peloton Bike ($1,445 + $44/mo): Unlimited classes, world-class instructors. Pays for itself vs SoulCycle in 3-4 months. Used bikes on Facebook Marketplace: $400-700.
Apple Fitness+ ($10/mo): Spin classes with Apple Watch integration. Works with any stationary bike.
Planet Fitness Black Card ($25/mo): Spin bikes available, plus full gym access
YouTube spin classes (free): Global Cycling Network, The Fitness Marshall — solid free options
Local spin studios ($15-25/class): Independent studios charge 30-50% less than SoulCycle for similar vibes
Any gym with spin bikes + AirPods ($30-60/mo): Same dark room energy with your own playlist
💡 The Math: • SoulCycle 3x/week: $5,600/year • Used Peloton + subscription: $928/year ($400 bike + $528 sub) • Savings year 1: $4,672. Every year after: $5,072 • That's a vacation you're spinning away.
