You may have noticed I have been a little Peloton obsessed since I got my bike about 5 months ago. I have been loving the cycle classes, yoga classes and stretch classes. I have also become "enamored" with my fave instructor Denis. I take both his cycle and yoga classes religiously. When we planned a quick getaway to NYC this week, I knew it was my chance to get into the Peloton NYC studio to take a live class and meet Denis of course. Visiting Peloton NYC To back up at bit, I had no … [Read more...]

Zengo Cycle- A sweaty good ride
As a former cycling instructor, I am always excited to scope out new boutique cycle experiences.

Instead of doing a traditional "brick" workout of a long bike … [Read more...]
