A Conversation with Emily Harlow, Co-Founder/Instructor
Tell us your business origin story!
LifeCYCLE was created from two lifelong friends with very different fitness journeys. Alyssa was very much into fitness her entire life, while Emily was not. After Alyssa quite literally dragged Emily to a spin class in 2018, they never looked back. Emily and Alyssa both worked down 270 and conquered traffic Monday through Friday. While both of them had young children at the time, they decided they would take a leap of faith and figure out how to mesh their love of spin class and their desire to be more available for their kids at not miss out on important things. Opening LifeCYCLE has provided the ability to do just that!
What do you like most about being a business located in Frederick County?
The business community in Frederick is incredibly inspiring. There are so many businesses and organizations in Frederick that are doing such amazing things and being able to get to know them, learn from them and help them in return has been so rewarding. Walking hand in hand with some of the other newer small businesses that also survived through COVID is something we hold very close to our heart. It’s a special connection we will always have.
What makes your business unique?
LifeCYCLE is the only boutique indoor cycling studio in Frederick. In addition, we have strength and recovery classes that are small, intimate and provide instructors with the ability to give specific form corrections and modifications based on our member’s needs. Our group of instructors really get to know our members so they can assist with their goals and encourage them in a unique way.
What do you want your business to be known for?
When you come to LifeCYCLE you will see all body types, all fitness levels and varying goals form all members. Our workouts are delivered in a way that the entire community receives an equally challenged workout while having fun, feeling empowered and leaving ready for the next time! We have members who came to us with an extensive workout history as well as people who have never worked out a day in their lives. This is our favorite thing about LifeCYCLE.
