DEDHAM, MA — A SoulCycle studio in Dedham will be among the 20 locations the fitness company closed nationwide this week, according to reports.

Dedham SoulCycle members were notified about the closure over the weekend, along with members at studios in New York, California, Illinois, Georgia, Florida and Washington, DC.

The company told CNN Business the closures are due to shifts in fitness habits during the pandemic.
