Harlem Cycle

If only there was a place where BIPOC could get the proper support and feel safe while working on their health and wellness?

Well, that place does exist and it's called Harlem Cycle. 

Harlem Cycle was created in 2016 with the sole purpose of providing a safe space for fitness within a community that lacked basic access to state of the art and yet affordable workout classes. Our programs embody the spirit and soul of Harlem creating a safe judgment-free environment where clients can feel comfortable existing on their own terms.

There is no competition here, just community... 

At Harlem Cycle our programs are designed to bring out your best self no matter what size, shape, age or level you begin. With a strict “no mirrors, no judgment” policy inside our studio, individuals are free to be their authentic selves. With instructors from the community who have also gone through their own personal fitness journey, clients are more connected to our studio. Daily we serve the teacher, writer, executive, painter and everyday people, making them all feel equal and welcomed. 

Through it all our focus remains on health and wellness... 

In the past 6 months Harlem Cycle has transitioned a lot of our programs online, creating safe mat-based workouts that can be safely done with no special equipment. Recently launched our at-home subscription-based programing.  Daily you can find us on Instagram providing FREE workouts for the community along with our weekly virtual Wellness Series featuring community members that provide services in nutrition, mental health, and much more. But our work doesn't end there, on weekends you can catch us in the park hosting FREE Community bike rides and fun walk/runs for the whole family.  Our focus remains on keeping our community healthy.

The world will be changed forever but we know health and wellness should remain a top priority... 

With this grant funds will be used to pay our instructor team, cover our past due rent and utility bills, expand our new online subscription-based services, and cover our FREE community programs. The world has changed due to COVID 19 and fitness studios have taken the hardest. Six months later and we are still not able to open and resume our services indoors, however, we know our community needs fitness. Physical fitness is critical in boosting your immune system, helping fight diseases, and can prevent and treat many cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses. We can not take our focus off of serving those that need us the most. 

Thank you for helping us to continue to serve our community.
