East or west?  Uptown or downtown?  Above or below 14th Street?!

Introducing SoulCycle’s newest NYC studio, which opened to much social fan fare (hello, #WVLG campaign) on Friday at 126 Leroy, next to Equinox Printing House in the West Village (Equinox bought SoulCycle in 2011, helping to grow the brand from 5 studios to 8 in NYC and Brooklyn, alone).

I stopped in for a class over the weekend with my friend Jeremy (last profiled here) and, unexpectedly, actress Liv Tyler.  While smaller than I anticipated, the new studio’s energy was intense.  And, as always, Jeremy rocked the house with his fierce attitude and killer playlist.  My favorite song from his set: “Into the Light” by Sander van Doorn, DubVision & Mako (feat. Mariana Bell).

Forty five minutes later, I grabbed my Mavics, a stick of Orbitz at the front desk and left to stroll back to Chelsea in the sunshine–but, not before I popped into the photo booth to document my first WVLG ride and pose for a Polaroid, posted to the studio’s wall for all to see.

Sweat.  Smile.  SOLE.

See you there.
