Rev Up with Ciara at Sound By SoulCycle Then Recovery with RCVR By Lululemon.

By Laura Medina

The thirty-three years-old Los Angeles Marathon shouldn't be overlooked.  It's emergence took a long time coming.

The Friday night before the race was the most exclusive nightclub/party.  It's the second installment/spin class of Sound by SoulCycle, the trendy, cultish weight-lifting meets biking gym.

The first installment/class was at Wynn's very own SoulCycle, where Sin City's very own, The Chainsmokers, replaced the blasting canned soundtrack with their very own live concert, an extra adrenaline oomph of a boost of busting and grooving on stationary bikes while pumping weights to The Chainsmokers' live beats, Spinning with Soul Cycle...with The Chainsmokers...in Vegas...at Wynn's XS Nightclub, Detox to Retox. https://luxurist.blogspot.com/2018/12/spinning-with-soul-cyclewith.html. As a sweaty reward, the participating riders in The Chainsmokers' SoulCycle class, got VIP access to The Chainsmokers' real concert later that night.

As for Sound by SoulCycle's second installment, a SoulCycle devotee threw a live concert for a SoulCycle spinning class, Ciara for Sound by SoulCycle.

What really got this scribe was that Ketel One Botanicals Vodka did healthy, all-natural cocktails for the spin cycle concert, promoting their Ketel One Botanical Peach & Orange Blossom Vodka, https://www.ketelone.com/vodkas/peach-orange-blossom-botanical/?ds_e=MICROSOFT&ds_c=B%3A+Ketel+One+Botanical_BMM_HV&ds_k=%2Bketel+%2Bone+%2Bbotanical&msclkid=e13f5bf9b96b19b572d60763e348e7e6&gclid=CL-zmM-joOECFZCNxQIdbacHsA&gclsrc=ds/


 If you were unable to sweat to Ciara live, you can sip like the non-exercising concert audience, while making participating riders thirsty, Ketel One's Botanical Vodkas are 405 fewer calories than white wine...

The participating spin class riders really earned their low-calorie, all-natural infused vodka cocktails and bite-sized hor d' oeuvres for dinner, and some fresh new athleisure clothes by Soul by SoulCycle at Nordstorm, https://shop.nordstrom.com/content/soul-cycle


Ciara's live concert, with her and her back-up dancers grooving in Soul by SoulCycle athleisure collection, got the riders bumping for a good whole hour.

That was just a warm-up to Sunday's 26 miles long LA Marathon.


This is why naïve newcomers and experienced native walkers either have legs like knots or wobbly like jelly.  This is why Lululemon is kind enough to offer post-marathon recovery wellness and pop-up shop, RCVR by Lululemon in Culver City's Platform, where yoga stretches and Breatheworks dot the landscape,  https://rcvrbylululemon.splashthat.com/


If you're really hurting or can't stomach yoga first thing in the morning, that's simple on the outside but complex in the inside Breathework to get the lungs, the sore rib cages, and stiff guts moving.  Good for your sinus.

Cyro Cafe's facials are a relief, not just for cooling down sweat but it:
  • Tightens the Skin
  • Increases Collagen Production for Healthier Skin
  • Increases circulation
  • Reduces Inflammation
  • Closes Pores
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Promotes happiness
  • Reduces headaches
Can't think of anything better than in sweaty, sticky, humid South Carolina summer.


For those whose legs are really are jelly, the convenient zip-up leggings of Normatec can message those legs back to normal, using hydraulic pumping and deflating air along various pulse points from toes to soles to ankles to calves to hamstrings to sore butts, with nary of an human touch.  A wise investment.

LA Marathon was LA's fitness weekend.
