WHEELHOUSE AND THE HIGH FIVE ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s NATIONAL HIGH FIVE DAY and we want to thank you for knocking hands a few million times — sending messages of inclusion, encouragement, and positivity with each one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’ve been, you know — we love high-fiving you, each other, and even the mailman. You might think it’s simply a formality but, to us, it’s so much more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over three years ago, during the first ever WHCC rides at CENTRAL, high fives were given to every person entering the dimly lit basement where 24 brand new bikes created a juxtaposition against the jagged concrete walls and damp floor. The high fives said “don’t be afraid, you’ve got this.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Soon after, riders high-fiving each other became a symbol of community and encouragement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Greeting each rider with a high five upon entering the building and The Vault is our way of living out our vision for Wheelhouse Cycle Club — to create a community of unparalleled inclusion and positivity in which people can exceed their own expectations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ High five a gem who deserves one below 🙌🏼. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nationalhighfiveday #nationalhighfivedave

MOTIVATOR STORY // THE KID WITH THE DAD JOKES // ASHTON S. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ **comment with your best dad joke to help keep his material fresh** ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “About a year ago I walked into The Vault for the first time; it was a 4:30 class at the EAST location. I basically thought Wheelhouse was a cult, and was honestly pretty scared to do cardio. I was bombarded with high fives and smiles, and 45 minutes later I walked out of there exhausted. I left and knew that I’d be back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This decision, to go to this first class, turned out to be one of the most important choices I’ve made in my short life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fast forward to a few months later and I’m staring at an Instagram post —Wheelhouse is looking for new motivators. My buddies @rleb_77 and @rishabh.prasad film me a kickass audition tape, I write an ambitious cover letter, and to my surprise, I get the email. I would say I went on to nail the audition, but that would be a blatant lie. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I told a joke about “tooth-hurty” being the best time to see the dentist, got some bewildered stares, started my track, and then had my right foot fall out of the clip two-thirds of the way through. Brilliant, right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Miraculously, I found myself training alongside some of the coolest people I’ve ever met. We sweat, we laughed, we might’ve even cried. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I led my first ride on July 24, 2017. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 8 months later, I can truthfully say that no community has had a greater impact on my life than the WHEELPACK. The people I have met and the friendships I have formed have helped me grow personally and professionally; I cannot express how grateful I am to be involved in this incredible world of ours. I get the opportunity to watch myself and my riders grow and blossom, and nothing brings me more joy and purpose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, WHEELPACK, thank you for all the smiles, high-fives, and cheers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s to many, many more.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #RIDETHEVAULT
NEW MOTIVATOR // @meagp // 45 MIN THAT CHANGED MY LIFE ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “On December 11th, 2015, I attended my first WHCC ride at 6AM. I’d been to spin classes in the past and to be completely honest, I wasn't excited for Wheelhouse. Spin was spin right? Everybody gets on a stationary bike and some unlucky soul on the lead bike with a crackling mic would take us through a gruelling 45 minute class. Climb, race, climb, back to race. All of us riders would be sweating buckets in an uncomfortably bright room without much encouragement - not to mention the inevitable, brutal Rihanna cover songs I was expecting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I ventured out of my house at 5:25am on that cold morning, this was my expectation for the workout ahead. I was dreading it. Who said this was a good idea anyway? I decided to keep an open mind to humour my friend who was insisting I’d love it. I arrived early for a quick tour and to get set up on my bike. The music was bumpin' and I was greeted with a cheery "Morning!" and solid high five. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I resisted, but the excitement had already begun to set in. The space was beautiful and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. After some quick info on what was to be expected came a motivational, two-handed high five. Damn, if this didn't amp me up, I'm not sure what would! As The Vault door closed and the lights dimmed into darkness, I could feel the energy in the room building as my fellow riders joined in a round of applause for the "new rider" in the room, Me. The next 45 minutes in that room changed my life. The Motivator on the lead bike fulfilled their duty just as you'd expect — yelling out a “You got this!" and comfortingly assuring us "We ride TOGETHER!". I had never felt such an intense sense of community in a group of complete strangers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As the pool of sweat beneath my bike grew, so did my desire to, someday, be that person at the front of the room motivating people to exceed their own expectations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, after months and months of hard work, tomorrow is my ‘someday’. I’ll be leading the pack and I can’t wait to ride with you.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #RIDETHEVAULT

INTRODUCING ALLIE E. // THREE REASONS WHY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After my basketball career came to an end, I felt empty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, months later, I’ve fallen in love with spin. Here are three reasons why: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. The Vault is my escape. Whether I am having a bad day, a good day, or a great day, I ALWAYS look forward to my upcoming rides. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 2. The feeling that I experience before, during, and after a ride is irreplaceable. Since attending my first ride, I’ve found myself getting stronger — both physically and mentally, while having fun in the process. I became addicted to spin when I started to see improvements in myself, which is one of the main reasons why I continue to enter The Vault. I am confident in the fact that when I attend other Motivators’ rides, I will be constantly challenged and I am in love with the idea of pushing my physical limits on a regular basis. 3. I love the environment and the people that I have grown so close to. After my basketball career, I felt as though I had lost all connection with the family aspect of playing on a competitive team. Basketball was my passion and I was terrified to live a life without it and the joy it brought . I was afraid I would never find anything that could set me on fire like basketball had. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then I found spin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, as a Motivator, I want you to fall in love with spin for these same reasons and for reasons of your own. I want you to feel my passion and see you develop yours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ LET’S RIDE: TUESDAYS NOON (CENTRAL) SATURDAYS 1230PM (EAST) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #RIDETHEVAULT
