Our Story
The Movement Begins
Over the years Soca J'Ouvert Cycle TM has been about more than just exercise. It harps on the idea of finding freedom in movement. Prior to setting the stage for this vision, Founder/Manager, Carlene Thomas, had reached a frustrating point in her life's journey. As a single parent and head of household finding it difficult to manage day to day stress on her own, she turned to group fitness. In 2017 taking her very first Spin class would be the start to something great and a new found joy.
After obtaining her Instructor certification she began teaching at a local gym. Carlene offered and introduced riders to the energetic sounds of soca music in their workouts. While continuing to build skills working on her craft and connecting with people from different walks of life, she set out on a mission to one day find a space of her own. She now proudly has a brick and mortar location anchored in none other than the Little Caribbean pocket of Brooklyn. Her mission now is to help women in the 40+ age group tap into self care and find their resiliency while navigating the roller coaster ride of hormonal changes.
At Soca J'Ouvert Cycle TM, we combine fitness with Caribbean culture to create an experience that's more than a workout, it's a movement!
