Former First Lady Michelle Obama has stated her love for SoulCycle, the cycling chain with a cult-like following. She was spotted attending a class in Washington D.C. Thursday after returning from a family trip to Aspen, according to the Daily Mail. Dressed in all-black gym gear, Obama was quick to exit the building and head into her Secret Service vehicle after the class.

There have been a number of sightings of Obama at SoulCycle classes throughout D.C., with patrons often surprised by her attendance.

That time @MichelleObama is in your @soulcycle class and you can't do anything but open mouth gawk at the queen. 🙌🏽 #mykindofceleb #nochill

The former First Lady has been an avid fan of the fitness chain, and she would attend classes while she was still in the White House, The New York Times reports. “I love it when my girls join me for a little SoulCycle,” Mrs. Obama said of her daughters in a video posted to Twitter last year, when she talked about her favorite ways of staying active with her family. “We all are in the dark, moving to the beat on the bikes. We love it.”
