What Soundtrack Does to My Interview Piece

I have chosen to do my sound portrait interviewing Trine about her work at SoulCycle, a gym for cycling classes provided by energetic music and instructors, a trend that have become very popular in the last decade. 
As Trine describes her experience as a concierge, I want to give the feeling that the audience is there with her at the gym, so I attempted to add cycling class sounds, and some energetic music that inspires the adrenaline flow in those classes. 
As Trine's voice is mellow and calm, the contrast of the upbeat music will give a feeling of the atmosphere she is in every time she is at work. 
I am planing on using diegetic sounds such as the cycling class, or perhaps a police car, to give the Alec Baldwin story a realistic tone. I also want to add some mood music, a non-diegetic sound, to bring some more dimension to the story, so it won't only be based on Trine's and my voice. 
Because Trine is talking about her every day life, and do not have a dramatic tone to her story but a playful and realistic one, I do not attempt to add any effects that will give her story a goofy effect, such as people laughing or a falling sound, but only ones that will clarify the story. Any other feelings from the story, such as laughter, interest, or inspiration I would like for the audience to get from her story itself and her sweet and soothing voice.

Enjoy!!!
