Reasons to Ride: Victoria

Can you tell us a bit more about yourself?

My name is Victoria and I do Strategy for a chemical manufacturing firm. I’m also a photography enthusiast from the Philippines (@tinyasiantravels on Instagram). I’ve been coming to Vélo since July 2019.

What is it you love about Vélo?

There are many things actually – the energy of the instructors and the class, the upbeat music, the post-workout adrenaline rush, and that sense of accomplishment you get after every ride. It reminds me that we can be stronger than we think we are.

What is your ideal Vélo class and why?

If it’s Felicia’s Afrovibes or Aline’s Carribean vibes class – SIGN ME UP. I also love Harry’s V-Strength class. These are my favorites because I love their playlists, their energy, and of course their challenging routines.

What is your perfect time to go to class (morning or evening) and why?

The evening classes work the best for me. I am a self-confessed workaholic and I can sit at my desk day and night if I wanted. The evening class is a signal for me to stop what I’m doing and start taking care of myself. This way, I’m achieving some work-life balance during the week.

What is Vélo to you?

Vélo means self-care to me. It is a proof that a healthy lifestyle can be fun and can be achieved despite my busy schedule. There will always be time on my calendar for a good Vélo ride.
