I would consider myself a fitness junkie. While I'm in no way an expert, it's pretty simple — working out makes me feel good, and that's what keeps me coming back for more. But even I have to admit, between my boutique classes, gym membership, and scheduled outdoor runs, hitting a slump every now and then is inevitable.
Working out is hard — and it's supposed to be — but when fitness becomes too routine, or even too structured, it dips into dangerous territory. The last thing we want is for our workouts to be dreaded, or worse, boring, because that's when we run the risk of quitting all together.
Luckily all it takes to combat a plateau is a little creativity. And what better brands to help ignite your fitness fire than Nordstrom and SoulCycle? Both names are iconically fun, fierce, and motivational, and while attending the Sound by SoulCycle event in LA, it dawned on me what the keys to fitness success are. Spoiler alert: they're super easy to implement.
The event, which highlighted the new Soul by SoulCycle activewear line, sold exclusively at Nordstrom, consisted of a live Ciara concert and gave off major TED-talk vibes as enthusiastic SoulCyclers — including Angela Davis and Russell Wilson — sweated it out. The spinners didn't miss a beat either, and I couldn't get over how much fun they all seemed to be having. That's when it hit me: when you're having fun, you're motivated, and when you're motivated, you reach your goals.
Together, SoulCycle and Nordstrom are determined to inspire you on and off the bike. And no matter what your fitness objectives are, these brands will help you not only reach them, but also have loads of fun doing it. Read on to discover how Nordstrom and SoulCycle are changing the fitness game by incorporating the four elements ahead into every workout.
