New Yorker of the Week: Anaya & Ayana Curtis, NYC Mother-Daughter Fitness Icons

Today’s episode fits perfectly into your New Year’s resolutions because we are joined by true NYC fitness royalty: Anaya and Ayana Curtis.

Iconic. Genetic excellence.Tune in as we talk with the Curtis women about SoulCycle, the culture of fitness in New York, what it’s like to build a wellness legacy together, and how they became the most fit, hottest mother-daughter duo to ever walk into a studio.
