No amount of education, life experience or skills could have prepared Loretta for the journey she had as the mother of an addict.  As so many families and friends of those who suffer from addiction and mental health issues, Loretta also found herself in an unfamiliar world where she had to learn how to deal with the addict, keep the family intact, navigate through the myriad of detox and rehab facilities, work through insurance matters and also to take care of herself.  Through this journey, she met many wonderful people, both the addicts and their loved ones, who inspired her,...

Tell us a bit about yourself. What is your background, and how did you get into indoor cycling?  I actually never considered sports or athletics as one of my strong points of interest…I was the All-American Band Nerd and Art Geek! In 2013, I was introduced to outdoor cycling through the AV200 (AIDS Vaccine 200) in Atlanta, and found a new love for cycling (Go Pedal Pushers!). Fast forward to 2017 and a few months into my recovery from alcoholism, I walked into my first SoulCycle class from a partnership with the fitness company I was working for. I had...

As soon as I came across Cycle for Recovery, I knew I needed to get involved! SoulCycle and the Soul community have been a large part of my mental health recovery as both a rider and a staff member. I’m currently applying to graduate programs in nonprofit management, and thought “what better way to gain exposure within the sector than to be involved with a nonprofit whose mission I’m so passionate about.” I love being part of an organization that aims to provide the opportunity of addiction and mental health recovery for those who may otherwise not be able to...

Tell us a bit about yourself. What is your background, and how did you get into indoor cycling? Growing up, I was always an athlete. I started out as a gymnast, then transitioned to cheerleading in college and become a two-time national champion cheerleader.

Coming out of physical therapy, indoor cycling and swimming were the only cardio I was able to do— and I immediately...
