“In the National Fitness Hall of Fame―whose inductees include everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Richard Simmons, from Joseph Pilates to Jane Fonda―a spot will surely one day be reserved for Ruth Zukerman. Starting with the creation of SoulCycle, and on through her brilliant, more rigorous Flywheel, she has not only helped create two thriving, expanding, profitable boutique exercise companies, but in the process has given rise to a form of exercise―“spinning”―that is at once revolutionary, fun, and eminently sensible. She has created something that changes people’s lives, makes them healthier, and gives them a joyful experience all at once.” ―Joe Nocera, Bloomberg Opinion columnist
