Are you afraid to take a leap of faith and pursue your dreams? And are you aware of the benefits that cycling/exercise has on your mental health. On this week's episode, Harlem Cycle Fitness owner and founder Tammeca shares her journey of overcoming the fear of pursuing her passion and leaving her high-paying corporate job. She also shares how cycling has been vital for her self-care and managing her mental health.
A trailblazer in the fitness and black community, Tammeca opened Harlem's 1st and only indoor cycling studio. She has three academic degrees (Mathematics- Spelman College, Mechanical Engineering – The Georgia Institute of Technology and an MBA from the Stern Business School, New York University). In 2016, she decided to turn her passion for fitness and open Harlem's 1st and only indoor cycling studio. Tammeca's journey to opening an indoor cycling studio in Harlem started when she was looking to find a workout that would both get her back in shape while putting her in a positive frame of mind. After exploring the various workout options, she found herself drawn to indoor cycling since it took her back to her happy childhood memories of riding her bike on the streets of Atlanta. Her entrepreneurial spirit and her passion for all things Harlem inspired her to establish Harlem's first ever indoor cycling studio dedicated to the passion, the soul, and the hustle that defines Harlem
