I'm obsessed with cyclebar. It's been almost a year now since I had my first class at cyclebar and I will never leave. I am a very uncommitted person when it comes to sticking to my workout routine, but I've fallen in love with this place. The staff is friendly, warm, welcoming, and helpful. The studio is always spotless, and the bathrooms / showers have great amenities. And don't even get me started on the instructors. These instructions are world-class. They have the funnest themed rides, and some instructors are the best djs! I listen to Chloes spotify playlists from class all the time outside of class because she's got the best playlists ever! When I had knee surgery and came back to classes for the first time after a month off, my instructors were super attentive and encouraging (thank you Abby and Chloe!). And finally, the instructors make space for everyone, people of all levels. There are always options in class to go the harder route, or just chill and give your body a break. I love...
Read moreDecent CycleBar location vs their Flatiron one, in my opinion. I felt that the facilities here were better kept and smelled a lot fresher! FYl- to get in, you have to ring the buzzer so that the downstairs desk can buzz you in. The locker area is a bit cramped, since the general area is coed. On the flip side, I like the individual shower rooms (4) for more privacy to change, with towels, shampoo, etc. The vanity area has all the toiletries needed as well - deodorant, lotion, hairspray. There are 2 toilets if you prefer to change and not shower. Really liked the instructor for this class, Angie Morrow! She had great energy and a fun T. swift x T.Pain playlist! She definitely encouraged the class as a whole vs calling out individuals, which I actually dislike. Shoes are free. Staff at this location when I went were a bit passive aggressive, but didn't dampen my overall experience - would still return for...
Read moreFirst time visiting this cycle bar location after going to a few other ones around the city. I would say this location wasn’t the greatest experience.
The bike I was assigned to was shaky even after adjustment, so I switched bikes. The new bike had a sticky handlebar that made the ride uncomfortable. There weren’t any crew members around to help with either issue at the 730PM class. The instructor (Lizzie) had good energy, but didn’t have variety or much choreography, as is generally expected in spin class. She didn’t have natural repertoire with the class, which I guess is part of spin, so it felt low-energy.
The studio itself is located in the ground level down the stairs and fully equipped with toiletries, showers, restrooms that were ample in quantity and space. Overall, I’d possibly schedule a class if I were nearby but wouldn’t go...
