SoulCycle Partners with BetterHelp for World Mental Health Day
In a move to promote holistic wellness, SoulCycle teams up with BetterHelp to provide complimentary therapy sessions for riders
In a initiative to promote holistic wellness, SoulCycle is joining forces with BetterHelp to celebrate World Mental Health Day on October 10. This collaboration aims to encourage individuals to prioritize their mental health alongside physical fitness, fostering a well-rounded approach to overall wellbeing.
As part of this initiative, any SoulCycle rider who joins the Soul Renew program on World Mental Health Day will receive a complimentary month of BetterHelp therapy, valued at up to $400. This offer emphasizes the importance of mental health as a crucial component of the journey toward balance and personal growth. By integrating mental wellness into their fitness philosophy, SoulCycle seeks to empower riders to nurture their minds as well as their bodies.
“At SoulCycle, we’ve always championed health and wellness on and off the bike,” said VP of Partnerships & Strategic Initiatives at SoulCycle Doug Leonard. “Our collaboration with BetterHelp bridges the gap between physical and mental wellbeing, empowering our community to nurture their mind, body and soul. We are so happy to be teaming up with our friends at BetterHelp for World Mental Health Day to encourage our riders’ health and wellness from the inside out.”
The partnership is timely, as mental health awareness continues to grow in importance. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness each year. Recent surveys indicate that 36% of employees have reported that work-related pressures have negatively impacted their mental health. Initiatives like World Mental Health Day serve as vital platforms to address these challenges, promote mental health resources, and reduce stigma.
The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the critical link between mental health and work, advocating for supportive environments that can mitigate risks to mental wellbeing.
By offering access to professional therapy, SoulCycle and BetterHelp support a culture of care, reflecting a growing recognition that mental health is essential for achieving a balanced lifestyle.
