It appears that the kool-aid jug has been tapped and everybody's favorite biker gang has finally been sued. Officially. The SoulCycle Class Action Lawsuit, filed in 2016, claims that SoulCycle’s individual cycling classes constitute a sale of a “gift certificate” and therefore, under California and federal law, should have no expiration date. After numerous last-ditch efforts by SoulCycle Inc. to avoid and ride away from (what a terrible pun) these lawsuits were thrown to the wayside when a California federal judge made a ruling that denied all but one of SoulCycle's claims. Since the case was filed, SoulCycle has agreed to a deal that is valued between $6.9 million and $9.2 million, resolving the nationwide class action alleging that the indoor-cycling-fitness-company sells illegally expiring gift certificates. Law 360 reports that under this deal, SoulCycle agreed to reinstate up to two expired classes per customer or reimburse those customers $25 for each of those classes. The company also agreed to adopt policy changes to ensure consumers fully understand that purchasing a class or series of SoulCycle classes does not constitute the purchase of a gift certificate or gift card.
