We celebrate the diversity of our community each and every day. In honor of Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month, we’ll be sharing the stories and insights of members of the Equinox+ family. Today, we’re talking to SoulCycle instructor @meluortiz. "I just traveled back home to Puerto Rico and I'm feeling recharged and really connected to my roots," says Melu. How will she celebrate and honor this month? "By cooking traditional plates from Puerto Rico for my friends in Colorado, and of course, dancing to some good Latin music." Her go-to inspiration in the community right now? Bad Bunny. "His creativity, unique style, and pride to be unapologetically himself resonate with me, and inspire me to show up proud of who I am and where I’m from," she says.
