Hi Visionary,

A few years ago, a package arrived on my doorstep, a simple black T-shirt folded in a slim white envelope. But the moment I held it, I teared up.

It was my Century Club shirt from Peloton, sent after completing my 100th ride.

My husband and I purchased our Peloton back in 2018, when the world was different and so were we (we have both had some major glow ups since then, but that's a story for another day). At first, it was a fun investment, something to keep us moving. But it didn’t take long before it became something more profound for me.

A ritual. A mirror. A reminder of who I was becoming.

My favorite instructor is Robin Arzón, a no-nonsense New Yorker with a mouth that matches her hustle, dropping the most perfectly-timed, four-letter words while pushing you through the most challenging rides and climbs. Her classes feel like therapy with pain: sweat, soul, and straight talk.

And yes, I received my Century shirt before my husband. Not that it was a competition… except, maybe it was. But not with him.
