Melanie’s class is inspirational, empowering, and uplifting. She plays a wide range of music—from alternative rock to dance to pop sing-alongs—and attaches meaning to each pedal stroke. Melanie began riding at SoulCycle in 2006 and in 2009, Melanie was the first rider to become an instructor. A former corporate lawyer, she’s now a Master Instructor and the Senior Director of Brand Experience. Melanie is a voice of love and inspiration for other instructors and riders alike—she is often called "MamaMel"—and a firm believer in the mantra of the brand: mind, body and soul. She is a cancer survivor and believes that each class can offer people tools to live life to its fullest. Melanie is a proud mother of three children. Follow her @melaniegriffithnyc
