B/SPOKE East Boston — Local services in Boston

Can’t say enough about this studio and the AXL team! I first tried AXL in May 2023 and haven’t stopped going since. The studio staff is welcoming and attentive, and I always look forward to each instructors’ authenticity, positive energy, and challenging workouts in each class - and I especially appreciate their thoughtful playlists! Their studio is clean, they offer a variety of classes each week, class reservations are organized, and you can always count on finding a helpful hand when setting up for class.

I hadn't tried spinning before AXL, so it’s been a learning experience, but I’ve never been more motivated to consistently try new things and push myself to do better in a group fitness class. AXL offers a supportive and fun workout environment, but it’s also given me an escape when I need it, a reason to celebrate and be celebrated, and a never-ending challenge every time I clip in! I highly recommend AXL to anyone who asks (and even if they don’t, I’ll probably still talk...

Axl is a addition to the neighborhood for spin enthusiasts! The studio is reasonably priced, brand new -- and built to meet COVID safety specifications. Right now (Aug. 2020) indoor classes are limited to 6 riders + 1 instructor. It feels very safe -- and the outdoor classes (see photo here from one such class) offer wonderful views of the city for free. I've taken every instructor on the roster so far and they are all very good + the staff is nice. TBH I wasn't so sure when they opened if this local studio (even though more convenient for me) would be able to truly tear me away from the other spin studios I have loved in Boston over the years (not that all are reopened yet, but still) and it has. I go all the time + I don't feel an overwhelming urge to go...

I've been going to AXL since it started with outdoor rides during the pandemic and have loved it ever since. The instructors, front desk staff, and owners are all very friendly and welcoming (so are their dogs, who visit sometimes), so when the current studio location opened and unlimited memberships were an option I didn't hesitate. The classes are taught in a way where you can make each one as challenging or as easy as you're feeling up to that day without shame, which is great for me because I'm also a runner & some days I want to take a class but don't necessarily want to try as hard as I possibly can. They also now offer sauna & normatec boot sessions, which are a fantastic addition. I'll return as long as AXL...
