SoulCycle South Beach — Local services in Miami Beach

My review is largely the result of my personal experience with what was my first, and in all likelihood last, ever session at SoulCycle. For context, I am a regular and keen 6.4ft road cyclist not new to spinning classes and very mildly hard of hearing.
