Angela’s Wild Idea: To combine spirituality and athleticism while helping others find their own purpose through fitness.
Angela Davis is an international fitness evangelist and motivational coach, who’s helped lead events alongside people like Oprah. In addition to being one of the most inspiring voices and coaches, she’s a former member of the USA track and field team and was a five-time All-American who held world rankings in the 100 meter race.
These days, Angela can be found instructing one of the most sought after SoulCycle classes with long waitlists and tons of celebrity clients. There’s countless reasons why. One is that her class feels like being inside an upbeat church, with awesome music. You forget you’re in a dark room getting sweaty, and leave the studio feeling pumped up and ready to conquer the world.
Angela shares her journey to finding her purpose and how you can find yours. She also shares why working out on the inside is as important as working out on the outside – it’s not just about that tight bootay!
