Client Info
SoulCycle is a U.S.-based fitness company offering high-intensity indoor cycling classes designed to strengthen the mind, body, and soul.
Introduction
The year 2020 brought unprecedented challenges to businesses worldwide, and SoulCycle, a leading indoor cycling studio known for its high-energy, community-driven workouts, was no exception. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, SoulCycle faced an existential threat as lockdowns forced fitness studios to close their doors. This case study explores how SoulCycle partnered with HUSHconcerts to overcome the challenges of the pandemic, reinvent their fitness experience, and emerge stronger than ever.
The Challenge: Adapting to a New Reality
SoulCycle’s signature indoor cycling experience, characterized by packed studios, pulsating music, and motivational instructors, was incompatible with social distancing restrictions. The company needed to find a way to adapt quickly to the new reality and provide a safe and engaging workout experience for its loyal community.
- Maintaining the SoulCycle Experience: Replicating the immersive, high-energy atmosphere of SoulCycle’s indoor studios in an outdoor setting presented a significant challenge.
- Sound Bleed: Operating in outdoor spaces in urban and suburban areas meant contending with potential noise complaints and disruptions to surrounding communities.
- Safety and Hygiene: Ensuring the safety and hygiene of riders and staff in a shared equipment environment was paramount.
Technology Integration: Seamlessly integrating technology to enhance the outdoor cycling experience while maintaining the essence of SoulCycle’s unique approach was crucial.
The HUSHconcerts Solution: Silent Disco Technology for Outdoor Fitness
SoulCycle turned to HUSHconcerts, a company specializing in silent disco technology, to help them reimagine their fitness experience for the outdoors. HUSHconcerts provided a solution that addressed SoulCycle’s challenges and enabled them to create a unique and engaging outdoor fitness experience.

Results: SoulOutside - A Triumphant Return to Fitness
The partnership between SoulCycle and HUSHconcerts resulted in the successful launch of SoulOutside, a unique outdoor fitness experience that allowed riders to safely return to their beloved workouts.
- Overcoming the Pandemic: SoulOutside enabled SoulCycle to continue operating during the pandemic, providing a much-needed outlet for its community.
- Positive Rider Experience: Riders embraced the outdoor experience, praising the immersive audio and the ability to connect with others in a safe environment.

Our kids had a blast! We will definitely use this company again for our next event!
Incredible patience and customer service with us.
We've rented prior and once again tremendously satisfied working together again!
I contacted them just three days before my event, and within minutes Kevin Ferlin, Sales and Marketing Director responded and found a solution by arranging pickup and drop-off at their LA office. He personally coordinated everything, making it seamless. At pickup, Joshua Brooks gave us a quick and easy tutorial. Kevin also shared an instructional link, which was very helpful. The sound quality was excellent and our event was a huge success. Over the top customer service. Thank you for your professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend!!
