In turn, I stopped working out. I tried a lot of other workouts, and didn\u2019t love them either. I really just enjoyed being on a bike at SoulCycle. I loved walking into a studio and feeling happy \u2013 seeing friends, getting a good sweat sesh in \u2013 it was great. When I started dating Nick, yoga naturally became a bigger part of my routine (Nick is a yoga teacher). He also really loves working out, so we did that together a lot too.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17466\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\"

bricks.\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  Thankfully, Nick taught yoga classes on Instagram Live 5 days a week. I\u2019d be in another room taking his class. It definitely kept me busy, active, and was an AMAZING way to relieve the stress of a pandemic. I think that might have been my saving grace from March-June. I also got really strong during that time. But, like most things, reality set back in and I was really missing being on a bike.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n  Then I was introduced to<br \/>\n  <strong><br \/>\n   <em><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bv1z3a\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n     MYX Fitness<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n   <\/em><br \/>\n  <\/strong><br \/>\n  .\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  In total transparency,<br \/>\n  <strong><br \/>\n   <em><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bv1z3a\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n     MYX Fitness<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n   <\/em><br \/>\n  <\/strong><br \/>\n  reached out to work together. In exchange for their product, I would post to Instagram + Stories. I still feel like I wanted to write a full review of the bike since 1. It\u2019s an investment for you if you purchase and 2. I have A LOT of thoughts.\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  So when the team did reach out, I was like 10000% YES. I didn\u2019t hesitate. Spin was a huge part of my work out routine, I missed it SO much since the pandemic started. It was pretty much the only cardio I did \u2014 I\u2019m really not big on burpees, jumping jacks, etc. I pretty much begged Nick to let me get the bike delivered to his apartment (hehe, sorry babe). When he agreed, I was SO excited for it to arrive.\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  I was definitely impressed with how quick the delivery was after hearing nightmare stories about other bikes. Everything was pretty seamless: The bike came almost fully assembled \u2014 We just had to put the monitor on and unpack the weights.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n  Ok, now let\u2019s talk about what else I like about the<br \/>\n  <strong><br \/>\n   <em><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bv1z3a\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n     MYX Fitness bike<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n   <\/em><br \/>\n  <\/strong><br \/>\n  :\n <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n   Great classes, ranging from 10 minutes to 45 minutes\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Large range of classes \u2014 10 minutes to 45 minutes\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Yoga, meditation, stretching, dance, etc.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Instructors are great!\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Different levels of difficulty which makes it nice for beginners\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n   Fits in a New York City apartment!\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n  <strong><br \/>\n   class breakdown<br \/>\n  <\/strong><br \/>\n <\/h6>\n<p>\n  There are four types of classes you can take \u2014 Bike, Floor, Mindful, and Cross Training.\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  Like I mentioned before there are different level classes (1 being the easiest, 3 being the most advance). At the beginning, I pretty much stuck to level 2 classes for the bike while I got familiar with the instructors and types of classes.\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  Since I\u2019ve been doing A LOT of yoga, I was really pleasantly surprised to see all of the different types available (yes, there\u2019s even yoga for indigestion). Whether it\u2019s a floor workout followed by yoga, just a meditation before bed, or spin followed by yoga\u2026there\u2019s a combination that will work for you! Some of my favorite classes are the themed rides (like 90s Hip Hop).\n <\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n  <strong><br \/>\n   overall thoughts<br \/>\n  <\/strong><br \/>\n <\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n  Since it\u2019s looking like group fitness might not be up and running any time soon, I definitely recommend an at home bike. The<br \/>\n  <strong><br \/>\n   <em><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bv1z3a\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n     MYX bike<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n   <\/em><br \/>\n  <\/strong><br \/>\n  offers competitive pricing in terms of the equipment and then the monthly subscription (which I believe all other companies also charge monthly fees). The monthly membership is $29 \u2014 compared to Peloton at $39\/month for the subscription.\n <\/p>\n<p>\n  I think if you\u2019re OK with working out at home, looking for new work outs that are constantly updated, and an overall great system\u2026then<br \/>\n  <em><br \/>\n   <strong><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3bv1z3a\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n     MYX Fitness<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n   <\/strong><br \/>\n  <\/em><br \/>\n  is for you.\n <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n  <em><br \/>\n   <strong><br \/>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pretaprovost.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n     photos by allie provost<br \/>\n    <\/a><br \/>\n   <\/strong><br \/>\n  <\/em>\n <\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you remember, SoulCycle was A HUGE part of my life since 2014.
