So, let's quickly discuss the beautiful reality of The Art of ElleCycle.

"You arrive early at the gym ready to go. You walk into the gym with your cutest workout fit, water bottle and ElleCycle towel. Confidently you choose your bike, setup your bike and grab your weights. Once situated you saddle up and warm up those legs. Peddling it out in the saddle until class begins. Usually everyone is chatting away about the day they just had or the day ahead of them. When the time comes, the lights are dimmed and the music starts pumping - your heart is pounding, but you and others are ready to go. You are cool, calm and collected as you make it beautifully through the warmup (hair and makeup still intact). The intensity slowly creeps in through the body-warmer and body-pump. You got this. Now the real ride begins. Jumps, push-ups, arms, hovers, hills, sprints you name it, we are tackling it. The smooth transitions make you feel like a ballerina on a dance floor, gliding from one move to the next. The hills make me feel like Rocky climbing the steps in Philly - you make it to the top and you feel like king of the world! Yet, you are dripping in sweat in areas you didn't know you had, your now messy bun is flopping around in your eyes, mouth and armpits and you can feel the make up rolling down your face. It's not pretty, but it is SO good. The best part about the struggle - you are surrounding by a squad that is right there with you. As the ride comes to an end, you cool down, stretch it out and walk out of the cycling room sweatier and messier than ever, but stronger and more beautiful than before"

What you can accomplish in the cycling room in 45 minutes is a beautiful thing. Maybe not as sensual, as provocative or in high-heels like Ariana Grande - but the magic and the art of ElleCycle that we portray in a 45 minute ride is enough to make you feel, look and act like a queen.
