You’ve tried other workouts before, but they’ve never quite stuck.

But then your coworker went on and on about her favorite SoulCycle instructor.

So you were like, “OK, I’ll give it a shot. This could be fun…”

Even though you tend to stay away from physically exerting yourself.

And it costs a small fortune.

So you get there, and there are lots of lights and loud music and people who look like Victoria’s Secret models.

You start to rethink your decision, but it’s too late to turn back now, so you clip into your bike and class starts. Right out of the gate you’re breathing so much heavier than everyone else.

But wait! A few songs later, you’ve entered a kind of euphoric state.

You’re actually keeping up now. You are the queen of choreography.

Nope, spoke too soon. Hills this steep can’t naturally occur in the world.

How did they trick me into thinking torture was fun?
