SoulCycle instructors are more than just teachers – they’ve got bona-fide celeb status. This month, we’re celebrating all things SoulCycle as our Guest Editors, SoulCycle founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice take the TCM wheel – which means that we’re shining a spotlight on the star-powered teachers that turn each 45-minute class into a life-changing event.
If Soul has spearheaded the celeb fitness teacher movement we’re having right now, Angela Davis is leading the pack. You don’t even have to take our word for it on this one – mention the name “Angela” to any SoulCycler and they’ll recount an experience akin to going to church. Even Oprah is a fan: she had Angela lead beyond-inspirational classes on her acclaimed The Life You Want Weekend Tour. Yep. Angela is literally one of Oprah’s “favorite things.”
This is a woman who has passion and motivation running through her blood, her positive affirmations inspiring real change in every rider in her sold-out classes. Here’s how Angela empowers her “pack” (and Oprah!) to make positive change happen in their lives:
