••• A follow-up photo to yesterday’s assertion that 15 Warren is being washed. It’s being given a coat of primer. Maybe they’ll paint it hot pink….

••• When Aqua offered me a free class—now that men’s classes are being held—I asked D., a fixture at the daily 7 a.m. Tribeca SoulCycle class, whether he’d be interested. (Because I was more interested in whether a SoulCyclist what would think of it than a newbie.) Here’s his report:

I was skeptical how good a workout I could get in the water, but I was pleasantly surprised. There’s no knob to control your tension like on the SoulCycle bikes, but the faster you pedal, the more resistance the water provides.

The instructor, Emma, did a nice job and was very clear. The Aqua workout is less centered on the music than at SoulCycle (plus you can’t see what foot the instructor is pedaling on), which makes it a little more challenging to match her pace.

All SoulCycle riders are familiar with first, second, and third position on the handlebars. Perhaps the most amusing moment of the class was when we moved into fourth position, where you hang off the back of the bike, holding on the bike seat, and keep pedaling! And for the arm series, we got in fourth position and then let go, stroking our arms backwards to avoid falling back, while pedaling the whole time.

The facility was lovely. They currently have only a single locker room, so they’re planning on holding men’s classes just once a month or so, until they finish a second locker room.

For me, the class felt something like SoulBands—a nice change from a regular SoulCycle class, but not necessarily something I would do everyday. But, if you enjoy SoulCycle, FlyWheel, or similar, I highly recommend trying out a class.
