Soul HQ - Spin & Circuits

🍂 NEW MONTH. NEW ROUTINES. SEPTEMBER RESET. 🍂

September arrives this week and, for lots of us, it feels like the real fresh start of the year.

Summer routines have gone slightly rogue, holidays have happened, plans have changed and normal life has been… well, not very normal. 😂

So this is your reminder to block out some time for YOU. 💚

Get those classes in the diary.
Lock in your favourites.
Try something you’ve been eyeing up.
Maybe step outside your comfort zone and give a completely different class a go.

Whatever you choose, make that little appointment with yourself and protect it. 🫶

🥁 And don’t forget!
Our parent-friendly SoulPound sessions start from 8th September, giving you another way to fit some movement, music and NOISE into your week.

September is traditionally when we see a BIG jump in bookings as everyone gets back into routines, so don’t wait until your favourite class is staring back at you with that dreaded FULLY BOOKED sign. 👀

Get ahead of the September rush.

📅 Check your diary.
💚 Block out your YOU time.
🚲 Book your bike.
🥁 Grab those sticks.
💪 Get back into your routine.

New month. Fresh routine. Refocused goals.

Let’s make September a good one, SoulHQ. 💚

Get booked while you can!

💚 MEET COACH CARA 💚

Hey, I’m Cara! 👋

I qualified as a Spin Instructor in May 2026, but my love for music started long before my love for spin!

My music taste is VERY eclectic. Punk, reggae, hip hop, pop, classics and pretty much everything in between. 🎶 I love concerts, discovering new music and finding those tracks you instantly want to hear again.

🚲 MY SPIN STORY

I started spinning in September 2024, originally wanting to get in shape for my upcoming 40th birthday. 👀

What started as a challenge quickly became something I absolutely loved.

I noticed a huge difference, not only physically but mentally too. I felt stronger, more confident and, for the first time, exercise became something I genuinely looked forward to.

Then Head Coach asked if I’d thought about becoming an instructor.

My reaction? ME?! 😳

I was shocked, nervous and excited all at once! But spin had given me so much that I wanted to share that feeling with others. To motivate people, help them challenge themselves and hopefully help someone discover the same love for it that I had.

So I took the leap… and became Coach Cara. 💚

🌿 AWAY FROM THE BIKE

I love photography, art, camping and my newest obsession, kayaking! 🛶 I’m happiest outdoors, exploring new places and making memories with my amazing husband, our three beautiful kiddies and our wonderful friends and family.

Camping holidays are a favourite. Getting away, discovering somewhere new and spending proper quality time together is my happy place. 🏕️

We’re also about to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, which has somehow come around ridiculously quickly! ❤️

And back to spin…

Finding spin, and especially SoulHQ, completely changed how I see exercise. It isn’t something I have to do anymore. It’s something I want to do.

I love the music, energy, atmosphere, challenge and that incredible feeling when you finish a ride.

Combining my love of music with exercise makes coaching even more special.

So expect eclectic playlists, plenty of energy and probably a few songs you weren’t expecting. 😉

I’m Coach Cara… and I’ll see you on the bike. 💚🚲🎶

💚🚴‍♀️ MEET THE CLASSES: SOULSPIN 🚴‍♀️💚

The OG.
The signature class.
The one that started it all.

SoulSpin is the heartbeat of SoulHQ. 💚

So what actually is SoulSpin?

The easiest way to describe it?

🪩 IT’S BASICALLY A DISCO ON A BIKE. 🪩

One hour of music, movement, lights, energy and FUN.

Forget bright gym lights, rows of mirrors and staring at a clock wondering if it’s nearly over.

Our studio is deliberately low light, fully air-conditioned and brought to life with dynamic lighting that moves with the music.

You clip in.
The lights go down.
The music goes UP.

And for the next hour, the outside world can kindly do one. 😂

📵 We’re a no-phone environment.

Not because we’re the phone police. 🚨😂

Because we genuinely believe in the power of switching off.

No notifications.
No emails.
No scrolling.
No demands.

Just one whole hour that’s yours.

Our instructors guide you through the music with hills, powerful pushes, attacks, sprints and, occasionally, what can only really be described as…

dancing on a bike. 💃🚴‍♀️😂

And then there’s the most important ingredient…

🎶 THE MUSIC. 🎶

We truly believe that’s the secret to SoulSpin.

We have almost 200 carefully curated set lists, covering pretty much every musical personality imaginable.

And before each class, Head Coach chooses the set list based on the riders booked in.

Yes. We actually look at who’s coming and choose accordingly. 😂

Our playlists are gloriously eclectic.

You could get 80s.
Rock.
Dance.
Disco.
Pop.
House.
Cheese.
Techno.

Sometimes all of the above in the same hour.

Our rule is simple:

Every rider should hear at least ONE song that makes them think, “YESSSSS!” 🙌

Because when the right song hits, something happens.

You stop thinking about the fact you’re exercising.

You stop watching the minutes.

You’re just in it.

💚 BUT I’VE NEVER DONE SPIN BEFORE…

Perfect. Come in.

Seriously.

SoulSpin isn’t reserved for super-fit people who already know what they’re doing.

Every class can be adapted for complete beginners through to seasoned riders.

Your coach will help set up your bike properly, explain everything you need to know and keep an eye on your form throughout the class.

We’re not interested in you keeping up with the person next to you.

We’re interested in your ride.

Your resistance.
Your fitness.
Your ability.
Your progress.

We’ll encourage you, challenge you and probably convince you that you’ve got another 20 seconds in those legs when you’re absolutely certain you haven’t. 😈😂

But we’ll also make sure you’re riding safely, protecting your body and getting the most from every session.

And THAT is SoulSpin.

Not just an exercise class.

It’s an hour where you can disappear into the music.

An hour where nobody needs anything from you.

An hour where the lights are low, the music is loud and you get to completely switch off.

Welcome to the healthiest club in the Vale. 🪩🚴‍♀️💚

No hangover required.

SOULSPIN.

More than a workout.
It’s an experience. 💚

💚🚴‍♀️ MEET THE CLASSES: SOULSPIN 🚴‍♀️💚

The OG. The signature class. The heartbeat of SoulHQ.

So what is SoulSpin?

🪩 Basically, a disco on a bike. 🪩

One hour of music, movement and fun in our fully air-conditioned, low-light studio with dynamic lighting and immersive music.

The lights go down. The music goes UP. And for the next hour, the outside world can kindly do one. 😂

📵 We’re a no-phone environment, giving you a whole hour to genuinely switch off. No notifications. No emails. No scrolling. Just you, your bike and the music.

Our instructors guide you through hills, powerful pushes, attacks, sprints and what can sometimes only be described as dancing on a bike. 💃🚴‍♀️

🎶 And the music is EVERYTHING.

We have almost 200 carefully curated set lists, and Head Coach chooses the ride based on who’s booked into each class.

They’re gloriously eclectic. Rock, pop, disco, house, 80s, techno, cheese and everything in between.

Our aim? Every rider should hear at least one song that makes them go YESSSSS! 🙌

Because that’s the SoulSpin secret.

When the right song hits, you forget you’re exercising. You just get completely lost in it.

💚 Never done Spin before?

Come on in.

Every class can be adapted for everyone from complete beginners to seasoned riders. We’ll set up your bike, explain everything and keep an eye on your form to make sure you’re riding safely and getting the most from your session.

You don’t need to keep up with anyone else.

Your bike. Your resistance. Your ride.

SoulSpin is your hour to switch off, turn the music up and do something entirely for YOU.

🪩 Welcome to the healthiest club in the Vale.

SOULSPIN.
More than a workout. It’s an experience. 💚

MEET THE HEAD COACH 💚
DIANE | FOUNDER OF SOULHQ

🎵 Became a Spin Instructor because she loves music, not because she loves exercise.

🏃‍♀️ Will not run.
🤢 Will not burpee.
🚫 Lunges are on extremely thin ice.

🚴 SoulSpin was the first baby.
Founded SoulHQ in 2022 and somehow turned a room full of bikes into a whole community.

🏋️ Qualified Personal Trainer
💪 Trained in Pilates, kettlebells, battle ropes & more
🥁 Most recently discovered POUND Rockout Workout and is now living out her rockstar fantasies with Ripstix.

💚 Proudest achievement:
Creating a place where people can walk through the door exactly as they are, move their bodies, laugh, sweat, escape real life for an hour and feel like they belong.

🎧 Superpower:
Can turn almost ANY song into a workout.

😈 Coaching style:
Equal parts encouragement, questionable ideas and “you’ve only got 20 seconds left!”

🧠 Favourite workout:
Anything involving music loud enough to make her forget she’s exercising.

❌ Least favourite workout:
See: running, burpees, lunges and probably anything suggested by someone saying “this will be fun.”

🥹 The heartfelt bit:
SoulHQ has grown into far more than the Spin studio she originally imagined. Every new class, every nervous first-timer, every milestone, every laugh and every person who chooses to spend an hour of their life there means more than she’ll probably ever manage to put into words.

💚 HEAD COACH. OWNER. INSTRUCTOR.
PLAYLIST OBSESSIVE. PROFESSIONAL NOISE MAKER.
PROUD MUM OF SOULHQ.

💚 NEW HERE? WELCOME TO SOULHQ. 💚

We’ve noticed lots of new faces popping up on our socials lately, and even better, lots of new faces walking through the studio doors too. 🥰

So we thought it was probably time to properly introduce ourselves, explain a little bit about what SoulHQ is all about, and give you the lowdown on the different classes we offer.

Because SoulHQ has never just been about working out.

Our mantra is pretty simple:

MOVE YOUR BODY.
CHALLENGE YOURSELF.
HAVE FUN.
LEAVE FEELING BETTER THAN WHEN YOU WALKED IN.

We don’t care what size you are.
We don’t care how fit you think you are.
We don’t care whether you’ve been exercising for years or whether walking through our door is the bravest thing you’ve done this week.

You don’t have to be the fastest.
You don’t have to lift the heaviest.
You don’t have to keep up with the person next to you.

You just have to show up as you are. 💚

At SoulHQ, we want fitness to feel like something you get to do, rather than something you have to do.

Yes, we’ll challenge you. 😈
Yes, we’ll encourage you to find that little bit extra.
Yes, there may be questionable language, loud music, sweaty hair and moments where you wonder why on earth you booked. 😂

But there’ll also be laughter, encouragement, music, friendships, high-fives and that glorious feeling when you realise…

I DID THAT.

And there is definitely no one-size-fits-all approach here.

🚴 SoulSpin
🥁 SoulPound
🔥 Soul45
💪 SoulUpper
🍑 SoulLegs
⚡ SoulAbs

Different classes. Different challenges. Different ways to move.

Over the next few days, we’re going to introduce each one properly. We’ll explain what it is, what to expect, what you’ll get from it and who it’s suitable for.

And don’t worry if you’re brand new. We’ll tell you exactly what you need to know before your first class too.

We’ll save the whole series into our Highlights so our SOULHQ 101 is always there whenever you need it.

So if you’ve been quietly following us for a while, wondering what happens behind those doors…

👀 This one’s for you.

Welcome to SoulHQ.

More than a workout.
It’s an experience. 💚🖤

💙🤘🥁 DON’T FORGET… WE’VE GOT DOUBLE SOULPOUND THIS WEEK! 🥁🤘💙

Yep. TWO chances to grab those sticks, turn the music UP and make some serious noise!

🥁 MONDAY
6:45–7:15pm

🤘 THURSDAY
6:30–7:00pm

And because apparently we don’t know how to leave well enough alone… 😂

WE’VE GOT A BRAND NEW TRACK TO LEARN! 👀🔥

New moves. New beat. Same gloriously loud SoulPound energy.

Don’t worry about getting everything perfect. Come along, give it a go, laugh when the sticks inevitably develop minds of their own and just MOVE.

Thirty minutes to sweat.
Thirty minutes to make noise.
Thirty minutes to forget everything else.

And a whole lot of FUN packed in between. 💙

If you’ve been watching SoulPound from the sidelines thinking “I really need to try that…” this is your week.

TWO CLASSES. ONE NEW TRACK. LOADS OF NOISE.

Who’s pounding with us? 🤘🥁💙

LET’S GET LOUD!

🍂 AUTUMN IS PENDING… 🍂

And there’s something about it that feels like a little mini New Year, doesn’t it?

A chance to reset.
A chance to get back into routines.
To refocus on your health.
Your fitness.
Your self-care.
And maybe carve out a little more time that’s just for YOU. 💚

September, and in fairness all of the BER months, are usually some of our busiest at SoulHQ and we are SO ready for it.

We welcome back the people who’ve spent summer juggling holidays, beach days, BBQs, beer gardens, family days, kids being off school and routines going completely out of the window. 😂

And guess what?

There is absolutely ZERO judgement here.

You don’t need to “get fit before you come back.”
You don’t need to make up for your summer.
You don’t need to punish yourself for enjoying it.

You just come back. 💚

Come back for the music.
Come back for the movement.
Come back for the laughs.
Come back for that feeling when you walk out knowing you’ve done something for yourself.

We’ve got different classes.
Different workouts.
Different instructors.
Different vibes.

But the same SoulHQ welcome and a whole heap of positivity waiting for you.

So consider this your little nudge…

🍂 Autumn reset pending.
📅 Get those routines back in the diary.
💪 Make yourself part of the schedule again.

September, we are READY for you.

Classes are already filling, so get yours booked while we’ve still got space.

LET’S GO, SOULHQ. 💚🔥
