I had a great time trying a class at the Cyclebar on Columbia Pike. I highly recommend Alana's Tuesday and Thursday classes. The music is fire and I had such a fun time! The staff is very welcoming. It did take me a little bit to find parking but nothing too terrible. I will def return! read more

Came for the Valentine's Day ride with Brandi and am obsessed with her vibes and energy. I frequent SoulCycle but wanted to try something different and I'm glad I did. I really liked the use of monitoring stats in real time, as it made me push myself more. They also had a popup for the holiday which was too cute! Will be back soon! read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Everyone who works here is so kind! It is also a great workout with fun, upbeat music and great instructors. I'd recommend giving it a try. I believe they have a first class free if you live in the area. read more

My darling daughter took me to my first class as a Mother's Day gift and I enjoyed it immensely. Charismatic and welcoming instructors. Intense workout-400 move points worth. read more

First time back since 2022 and the class did not disappoint!! I throughly enjoyed the ride, instructor and music! No pressure to push yourself, but you should anyway. The lights are dim and the seats are comfortable. Looking forward to coming back! read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I moved to the area and tried out this cyclebar. I have been taking classes ever since. The instructors are great. The area is clean. They keep the AC on. The lights and music are great. I haven't taken all of the instructors yet but Lindsay and Brandi are 10/10. It's a great workout. I highly recommend coming to this studio. read more

I discovered Cyclebar after purchasing a Groupon over the summer. It was 4 classes for maybe $30 (?) which seemed like a good deal to me! The classes themselves are pretty high energy and are a great time! I enjoyed myself so much that I went ahead and signed up for a membership after completing my Groupon! I have even brought a couple friends with me and we've had a great time! The only downside is I don't feel like there is a great sense of connection with the staff. When I ask, the instructors have always been helpful getting my bike set up. However after 8 visits I was told for the FIRST time there is garage parking. I had no clue and was paying to park on the street. I also don't really understand what the post-ride summary means and no one ever offered to walk me through it. I am a big fan of group fitness classes and although I enjoy Cyclebar I would appreciate more interaction with the staff. They are pretty consistent with sending messages encouraging you to join the studio, but I think walking through the ride after the first few visits would be helpful as well. As mentioned I have in fact joined Cyclebar so I do really enjoy it!! Cycling isn't for everyone, but it is a great workout and complements my personal workout routine. And if it's your first visit don't worry about the shoes, there are free rentals available! read more

So I went to this studio because my studio was closed and I wanted to get a ride in anyway so I figured I'd give it a try. It was ok but def doesn't compare with Rush Cycle. The class was pretty boring the music wasn't that great and to make matters worse, I had a really bad allergic reaction to something in that studio and ended up in the emergency room. I'll def stick to Rush Cycle! Not only is it much more fun and excitement, it's much cheaper and lots of parking available. The last photo was also sent to me for posting my honest review. Never mind about my health. How is it bullying if it's honest? Not to mention I was the one stuck in the ER read more

I took a class here through classpass and absolutely loved it!! The instructor was awesome and kept me entertained the entire time. I definitely want to go back again! read more

Worst customer service i've ever experienced. I live in the same building so was excited to try it out and save time on commute. I bought a groupon for the first 4 rides, walked in and told the lady at the front desk that this was my first class and i have a groupon, she said that i don't need to show it now as the first class was free for everyone and after that i need to email them my groupon information so they have it. I followed her instructions, did the first class, wasn't super impressed but thought i would give it a chance since i have more classes already purchased. i emailed my groupon and am getting a response that it is only valid for new customers, and i need to buy their membership, what a scam, they don't even say i can use remaining 3 rides. I really wanted to love this class because of convenience but with such experience i'd avoid this place 10/10. The response here is fake, I felt harassed over multiple emails. read more

I've been going to Cyclebar Columbia Pike for about six months now. I think it is a really great studio & would recommend it to experienced and new riders alike! Each class follows a pretty similar format ( songs that focus on speed, strength, arm track, etc. ), but it manages to not feel repetitive because every instructor has a different style and tons of great playlists! I love the different themes for all the classes and it makes me look forward to going knowing what type of music is going to be played. I like that they have a couple different time slots in the am & pm too to be flexible for my corporate work schedule! The space is very clean which is great compared to some past spin studios I visited & I like how every bike has a good view of the instructor. read more

PSA: response by owner is a falsified email thread. Please contact me for the whole conversation and screenshots of where my conversation statements were rearranged. Horrible experience. While parking is not guaranteed, the times I attempted to go- I found no available spot. Due to the lack of parking allowing me to get into class, I contacted the owner. Extremely rude and when I transparently told them that their lack of customer service is something I would review, she kept trying to say I was "threatening the studio." Such a rude person and unwilling to work with individuals. She did offer to restart my week pass, but after the hostility and immature behavior, I would say just go to a different location. Disclaimer: I asked for a refund which they were unwilling to give even after I told that the reason was because my inability to attend classes (no parking). The lack of professionalism and poor customer service coupled with their firm refusal to refund me despite my inability to attend class is why I am providing this location with a bad review. Go to Falls Church instead- they are great!!!! Edit: also in their response to my review they omit several email of them acting petty and non-responsive. Please see incomplete chain of emails of general manager reaffirming their lack of professionalism. Edit 2: owner has now edited the email thread and rearranged my statements. What a scam of a business practice. read more

Obsessed with it! I missed cycling so much during COVID so coming back in to a studio felt amazing. The class sizes are smaller and their COVID precautions in play make me feel safe every time. I love the motivation of the coaches mixed with the leaderboard to give you an extra boost to compete. The deals right now are reasonable and even though it's a drive for me I may finally commit to become a member! read more

Have had nothing less than amazing customer service, rides, group energy and an experience as a new customer here. Marina is amazing and really goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy, adjusted, and ready for a great ride! I highly recommend this studio! Great instructors, great ambiance , cleanliness, sanitized ! Just overall a great addition to your workout regime! Join now, they also offer great promos from time to time if you can snatch one! read more

Cyclebar is my favorite spin studio. The owners, staff, and instructors are super welcoming and friendly, and really knowledgeable. It's clean, bright, and smells fantastic. There are showers and toiletries, which is appreciated. The bikes are comfortable and easy to use. Clip-in and out is also easy. The instructors are great. Themed classes are offered. Leigha is my all-time favorite instructor. She is energetic, fun, and super motivational. Her classes are intense and I love them, and I've had some personal bests in her classes. I can't recommend her enough. If you are looking for a spin studio, look no further. read more

I only tried this place out once when I had Classpass but I really did enjoy it. What I liked about this class was that it displayed your speed on the screen in front of everyone. Not so that everyone could see I was crushing them, but so I could see where I measured up. The instructor was really encouraging and helped me get my bike set up. I would definitely recommend CycleBar if you're looking for a place to get your spin on! read more

Wanted to give a cycle class a try and absolutely loved this place! It's so nice that they give you your first 3 classes for free so you really get a chance to try it out before committing. The front desk people were super helpful in getting me set up and clipped into the bike. I loved my instructor Amanda, she did a great job at letting us know what to expect from the class and had a great playlist. Also the fact that there is free parking is so convenient. Definitely excited to keep taking classes here! read more

I really really really hate leaving a bad review for a place that's clearly trying. But, in my book, 2 stars is the definition of "meh, I've experienced better" and "no, i would not recommend this place to a friend." I bought 4 classes for like $40 via groupon, and after having taken 3, I don't envision myself using the last one. The best analogy I can make here is it's like paying super plus price for regular gas. It's still a nice gas station, there's nothing inherently wrong with the pump...but your hummer just won't run right. The big deal breaker for me is sound quality. The music is always TOO quiet. Like I can hear the person next to me breathing quiet. I can hear every squeak my bike makes quiet. The instructor never has to raise his voice quiet. You get the picture. Music is the biggest motivator for me, so even when there's a good song that I actually like....it's too quiet. Like I could bring my basic betch Apple headphones, and on the loudest volume, the music in my ears would overpower that in the studio. So yeah. Sad face. Maybe one day this will be a SoulCycle. read more

Have you heard of the term "toxic positivity" in fitness? Well that is unfortunately a thing that some instructors like to do here. I want to preface by saying that I took a variety of different instructors who were very good like Amy & Dwayne. But one particular instructor loves to curse up a storm in class and use phrases like "you suck if you don't push yourself" in class which is absolutely horrifying. After that awful class with her, I was so shaken up & traumatized I didn't even complete my membership with them. I will say that I did complain to the owner who said she would speak to the instructor in question. It doesn't matter, that experience ruined spinning for me. I will stick to the amazing crew at Bash Boxing & OTF in Clarendon. Toxic positivity has no place in a fitness community. Instructors need to be trained to not be hostile and cussing in a class. read more

The front desk are nice and helpful, and surprisingly when this place says "leave a message and we'll call back" (on the rare occasion they need to)- they do call back! :) The facility is clean, and the bikes run smooth. Pricing is average for the area and the classes are energetic! I seriously have not come across an instructor here that didn't give their all to make me give mine! read more

I've been attending CycleBar 2-3 times a week for the past year. It is my fuel and my energy, and when I don't come for a week or two, I miss it and can't wait to go back. I bike outdoors, and CycleBar is a great way to maintain my cycling fitness year-round. The staff are always nice and friendly. I used the shoes they provide for a long time and finally invested in my own pair, which I purchased at CycleBar, and I love them! I don't find this place stuffy or judgy like a lot of other fitness places. There are people of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels in class. It's not pretentious. The instructors are all really different, so I recommend trying out a few to find your favorites. I especially love Dwayne, Shane, Sam, and Sasha. I describe the classes to others as loud, high-energy music, tough cardio fitness, with a little dancing thrown in there for fun. There's one song mid-class for arms where you use a weighted bar. I like this variety and I think over time my arm strength has increased as a result of this. Parking can be tough, but it's free and you just need to arrive early to find a spot. The locker room space is also small, so after class you are fighting through other sweaty people to get your stuff and get out of there. But again, totally worth it. They also often provide snacks after class (like fruit), which is just a really nice and unnecessary perk. Also, CycleBar is charitable and regularly hosts charity rides, which takes my love for CycleBar to a whole different level. Try it! read more

Lindsay nails the initial review! I'm fortunate to have experienced Cycle Bar in Tampa and am pleased to say that the business model and consumer experiences are consistent. High premiums placed on individual fitness while maintaining a group dynamic with the theater style spinning class. Very engaging instructors with keen audio mixed to keep the RPMs and your heart rates way up! Best to take advantage of their Cycle Blast promotion(s) through November 13th. Make an online account, hop on the calendar and assign yourself a bike for the available dates and times (they've got around 45 of them in each class so you're not going to be lonely)! Just had my first session at CB Columbia Pike and had a blast! Burned 718 calories in 50min to boot! Props to Jen K. as our instructor -- well done! read more

The owner is still being ridiculous. However, the GM responded and was kind. This is a franchise ownership issue, not an issue with the GM, instructors, contract, or business in general. I plan on reaching out to HQ. read more

I love trying new studios and exercise experiences, and this one was pretty great. First, when you walk in the front door you are greeted with smiles and friendly staff. The staff were happy to help me, and gave me a tour of the space. They showed me where to sign in, and the process is super easy. They lay out the shoes in the size you need ahead of time in a cubby labeled with the same number of the bike that you reserve for class, so convenient! Then back to the locker room area, where you put your belongings into a locker that also matches the bike number you reserved. They also have complementary fruit, and water.. cold or room temperature. The first time you attend class, you will receive a free reusable water bottle. Second, the space is kept very clean! There isn't any clutter, they wipe down the bikes for you after class, and even the bathrooms are kept nicely. They provide hair ties, if you forgot yours and have a shower area stocked with necessities too. Third, the equipment and class were outstanding! I've been to other cycling places in the area and these bikes were definitely the nicest I've used. The free 30min introduction class was great! The staff came around to help us all adjust our bikes.. which I was thankful for because it was actually more adjustable then I had used in the past and would have been challenging if I hadn't had assistance. I really loved that our instructor (Hailey) was encouraging, energetic, upbeat, and not at all pretentious, very refreshing! She guided us through the class, giving us resistance ranges and rpm ranges multiple times throughout class, which was super helpful. I've had bad experiences at other cycle studios where they don't guide you, but instead just come by your bike and turn up the resistance because 'it looks too easy for you', without any other explanation. That didn't happen here. The bikes are technologically pretty cool because they track the calories you burn, rpm, (along with a bunch of other metrics I can't remember), and emails you your stats at the end of class. The music was good, there was cool lighting effects, and liked how the schedule showed different 'themed rides' to chose from, including a "Wine Down Wednesday" night class, where you get wine after class.. will be signing up for that one! The only thing I can say is that the bikes are suuuper close together, but I know that's to be expected in a cycling studio. These bikes were closer then I'd ever experienced other places, but it didn't impede with the workout at all. Getting to the bike and leaving was a tad challenging, and I'm 5'5" 125lbs, but I was in the middle row, and it didn't really bother me. So if you are cloister-phobic, I'd suggest reserving a front row bike and you'll be fine. Overall, I wasn't sure if I'd like it.. but after that 30min class I know I'll be back!.. Not sure if I'll be able to make it through an entire 50min class, but excited to try! Great experience! read more

CYCLEBAR - Cyclebar Columbia Pike location, Wednesday 30min Intro class! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This CYCLEBAR Columbia Pike studio looks all slick but also has a lot of heart. A lot of kindness. So much generosity. And great instructors and classes. I launched and grew a new online publication while trying to kill a cold that I couldn't shake and gained 50 pounds from it. Even though I bought an unlimited package before all of this illness and business started, the owner Marina worked with me to allow me to move my package to when I could use it with good intent. Ever since I've been attending, even though I am weaker and less fit and much bigger than I've ever been, everyone at the studio has been actually loving and supportive. There's also a lot of guys there working out so it's not all women. And all shapes and sizes. It's a very supportive environment. I love it there. read more

After reading the Yelp reviews, I decided to give this place a try. I signed up for the first free class. One of the instructors mentioned that it was their anniversary weekend and encourages me to attend some free classes. I went to a couple more and decided on a package that seemed reasonable to me. Pros: - Each class and each instructor is different. There is different music, energy and vibes. Those 45 minutes sometimes run quickly and sometimes, it is an eternity. - Lockers, showers, nice restrooms, snacks! - Limited Free Parking Meh: - Reasonable and competitive pricing. I don't mind paying for a good workout but some folks may not be into that. - Hard to cancel class but it forces you to attend that class! If there is an emergency, they are understanding bc life happens! - Limited Free Parking: give yourself time to find a spot. Cons: - The shoes! I feel like I always get one shoe that will not clip in every class but they offer shoes to wear... read more

If you actually like to work hard and break a sweat don't go here. They say they set the thermostat at 68 but the portable thermometer I brought on both days read 64. Also there is no place to avoid the fans on full blast... read more

I've never thought of myself as someone who would enjoy a class-based workout but I must say, CycleBar has been an extremely rewarding experience! I've never felt more successful and seen better results than this! The instructors here are super friendly and make an effort to learn your name and support you in any way they can! At first I thought the classes were expensive, but when I realized the workout skills and diligence I was learning, and the service and motivation I was provided, the cost made absolute sense! It is so worth it! Lastly, there were a couple times I got stuck at work in a pinch and could not feasibly make the class I had reserved within a few hours. After communicating with management, they graciously allowed me to reschedule without any penalty! The staff are some of the nicest, most understanding people I have ever met. Shout-outs to instructors Sam, Damion, Shane, and Haley for giving me phenomenal workouts the past 10 months and helping me get into better physical shape! And shout-outs to Marina and John for establishing a wonderful workout community on Columbia Pike that I've been proud to be a part of! :) read more

Nice neighborhood cycle bar without the hefty price tag! I love this studio because they provide free spin shoes, towels and different temperature water fountains. Also free parking in the back is always a plus! They have great instructors especially Damion! The classes are 45-50mins long with the occasional races, arms and stretching at the end. Would highly recommend this place! read more

I LOVE it here. Amy was an AMAZING instructor and was so helpful and kind. The staff is really nice and friendly. They even remembered my name when I showed up the next day. 10/10 recommend!! read more

If you like spinning, you will love this place. Easy to book on line & studio is clean & well equipped with water to fill up before/after class & enough bikes. Take one of Shane's classes - he rocks!!! Gave four stars because you can't call studio directly. You need to email & than wait for response. Can be inconvenient if you want a quick answer. read more

If you enjoy zengo or soul cycle you won't like it here. These classes are so boring in comparison. They're like the kind you'd take for free within a gym membership. No presses or jumps, you just sit there peddling away for 45 min listening to sub par semi boring generic music, the instructor occasionally chimes in to change something but there's no motivation to do so. And on top of the music being crap it's also WAY too quiet! Which means that it's not motivating and the instructor doesn't have to raise their voice and pump some enthusiasm into it. When I brought this up to them they suggested to try a different instruction so it did- no difference. And yes, I've taken many different instructors. I really struggled to finish my 10 pack. Yes, the facility is nice and they give you a free water bottle and banana but it doesn't make up for the classes being so sub par. It's amazing what people give stars for! read more

Just completed my first spin class at Cycle Bar!!!! I'm OBSESSED!!! ... you literally race everyone in the class based on bike number/stats (shown on a big screen TV in the front) -motivation to push harder- the music was perfection, and they dim the lights so you're riding in a dark room (but you can still see yourself) ... definitely going back tomorrow! #amazingworkout I took Sam's Monday night class at 6:15pm... she's amazing! I loved here playlist as well! 5 out of 5 stars for Sam! ...also found a Groupon for Cycle Bar!! Make sure to check that out... they redeem it when you get there with the voucher, add the 3 rides on to your account! read more

If you like good customer service don't come here. I was new to spin and the front desk staff was aware that I was new when I came in (20 minutes early). They pointed to the shoes and I was left on my own. Needless to say my overall experience was horrific. From parking to the actual class. read more

I came here on a whim; Cyclebar opened in November 2016 and was offering free classes. I had never done a spin class before but was hooked after that first ride! Highlights: -Fabulous instructors (you'll always get a great workout). I've been to Francina, Shane, Jen, Rob, Damion, Danny, Haley, Natalie, and Sam and always walked out dripping sweat. Shane's Saturday morning mashup concert series class is so fun! -Modern tech and bikes. Your stats are emailed to you the second your class ends. I've seen so much improvement since I started in Nov., and it's so motivating. Your stats are also on a leaderboard (the instructors tend to turn on the screens every few songs so you can track your performance). This really motivates me to challenge myself through each class. -Included in the price: clip in shoes, clean towel, reusable water bottles, lockers, free parking in the garage, cold or room temp water, fruit, mimosas and/or other drinks after happy hour and brunch rides. Overall, I love this place. The classes are pricey (but comparable or less than comparable studios in the DMV) but for me it's worth the price. A great addition to Columbia Pike. read more

I have been to a few spin classes at my local gym and alway had a "meh" relationship with them. I would go to mix up my workout routine, however I found them to not be challenging enough and even a little boring... You will NOT get that at CycleBar! I discovered them because they had a Groupon deal, and I figured why not? They had multiple classes and time slots, and I chose chose the 10:45 Saturday Britney vs Christina class. It sounded like it was right up my alley. I showed up and I have to say I'm soooo happy they have garage parking in the back! Do come early because it does fill up fast. I walked in and the staff is super friendly and attentive. They have cycling shoes for you, nice lockers, showers, and restrooms. They also provide you with a water bottles (nice ones). Honestly, this place reminds me more of an upscale spa than a gym. Amazing facility. The cycle room itself is equipped with the best bikes and they provide you with a towel (and you will need it). I've been attending Shane's class and he is amazing! He will keep you motivated and makes the experience feel like you are dancing in the club, not enduring a tough workout! With that said, it is a challenging class and will get the most of your workout. He also incorporates a weighted bar and other movements to provide more of a whole body workout. Well, I thought CycleBar was going to be a couple week fling, but I was wrong! It's a full on love affair and now I'm a regular. Dang you CycleBar, you got me addicted!! Forget about whatever you thought previously about spin classes. This is so different and definitely worth a try! read more

I've been to Cyclebar twice now as it is right by my house and really convenient and I so badly wanted to love it but am honestly underwhelmed. I think they have potential and are still getting off the ground since they are new to this location. The studio is very sleek and I love the stadium style seating, they give you a free (nice) water bottle and have the same nice options for cold or room temp water that you get at Fylwheel. I will say that both classes the playlist has been subpar - 1 was all latin music and the other just a lot of techno - would love to see some current music that is a little more motivating! Also both times the lead board was not cleared before class started so people who were there warming up for 10+ minutes had massively higher scores - there isn't a point in doing a leader board if it isn't accurate based on the class.Finally, I just think the instructors weren't quite as motivating as other studios like Zengo, Flywheel, and Soul Cycle. I spin usually twice a week and pay expensive studio rates to push me more than I would push myself. Would love to see them build that up for themselves. I will be back to try again and hope that I see some good improvements! read more

I have been to a number of cycle/spin locations around the DC and this place is overall the best. Lots of class options and times, great instructors, each one has a different vibe/music themes. Cyclebar really sets itself apart with the fact that they can keep track of your times/scores and they can send email updates with all those stats. Also this location the bikes are newer/better than most spin studios in the area. Also, for Arlington this is a great location with plenty of parking. This place is great for beginners to advanced bikers. read more

I found CycleBar through ClassPass and decided to purchase 4x/month pass. I'm so glad I did! The CycleBar studio is always clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff is quick to respond to communications, and the instructors really seem to enjoy their roles. I've been to several different instructors sessions; all were good, but Damion's a favorite of mine. His playlist keeps me focused and engaged all class long. I also appreciate the effort he takes to connect with his class-- both the individuals and the group. I LOVE my CycleBar membership and would asolutely recommend this studio to others. read more

This place is the best: brand new studio, super helpful staff, great workout. I love how the personal bike stats and resistance levels are so clear, because it makes it so much easier to follow along with the instructors. There's cool lighting for different tracks and the bikes aren't packed WAY too closely (cough cough Soulcycle) so you don't feel like a sardine at a rave. Have to give a shout-out to Rob as my favorite instructor - he's so funny, works your ass off (literally), and his music is the best! read more
