The City

BILT x SoulCycle: Rooftop Ride is an exclusive outdoor cycling experience on the rooftop terrace of Bilt's Meatpacking headquarters. Two sessions — a sunrise ride as the city wakes up and a sunset ride facing the Hudson as the light drops. Each followed by a curated post-session experience with food, drinks, and community.

The Ride
45-minute outdoor SoulCycle class. Bikes face the Hudson. Music pumping. Sunrise and sunset sessions.
The Afterparty
Post-ride refreshments, bites, cocktails. DJ spinning. Branded photo moments.
The Community
Bilt members get priority. SoulCycle regulars discover Bilt. Premium crossover audience.
The Takeaway
Co-branded gift bags with towels, bottles, and keepsakes. Every attendee leaves with something.
