Sustainability

It’s time to move the world.

We move people to move the world—and the world we live in today needs a massive shift. High sea levels, rising temperature, and landfills that keep piling up—we must start somewhere. We have continuously taken steps to reduce our carbon footprint, but there’s always more that can be done.

Our commitment to carbon neutrality.

SoulCycle is leading the fitness community on the path towards climate neutrality. We have been working to measure and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by investing in energy efficiency, materials, green packaging, waste reduction, and transportation across the entire business. We are committed to reaching carbon-neutral status within 2025.

SoulCycle X Boxed Water™

As we continue our pledge towards sustainability, we have partnered up with Boxed Water™ to provide our studios with the best eco-conscious water available. Boxed Water™ utilizes plant-based packaging that is 100% recyclable and ensures that all of its paper and water is responsibly sourced from local water sources and well-managed forests. Boxed Water™ has also committed to preserving the planet through their “You Post. We Plant” campaign which promises to plant two trees for every social media post with #BetterPlanet. Together, we can move the world to protect the planet and sip sustainably.
