Philip Byron has five Emmy Awards, a Broadway producing credit, and a background teaching spin classes at Flywheel. He is also the director behind the Spin Wars documentary, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2026. Crystal and Tom sat down with Philip to talk about how the Spin Wars documentary came together, what got cut, and what it was really like inside the boutique fitness world that gave rise to SoulCycle, Flywheel, and Peloton.
Philip breaks down how the project started as a series pitch, why it took years to get made, and what it felt like to finally land at Tribeca. He shares behind-the-scenes details about the instructor pay structure at Flywheel, his own experience auditioning and teaching, and why so much compelling material had to stay on the cutting room floor. Crystal and Tom also share their reaction to watching the Spin Wars documentary and why they think the story matters far beyond the world of indoor cycling.
