First timer! Alyssa and Olivia delivered the best energy for an AM class. The choreo portions were so fun and challenging. I loved that the instructors knew lots of people's names and that the students felt comfortable singing and cheering during class. This location shares a parking lot with other stores nearby. Decent size lot, especially for AM classes. All the staff is friendly and super helpful. They have a great walkthrough for first timers. Showers are available! read more

I've consistently been coming to this location for a while now and after almost 100 classes, this is definitely one of my favorite forms of cardio. All of the instructors I've taken have been consistently pretty good and I can always count on having a good workout here. My one and only complaint is that I've had tech issues with bike fairly often - maybe every 2 out of 5 classes, the sensors won't work or the screen won't sync and my stats aren't properly recorded, which is really frustrating. I've gotten mixed support from staff - sometimes they've moved me to other bikes, one time I got a free class after several classes in a row of having bike issues, other times I've been told it's an issue they're working on. All in all one of my favorite workouts, barring the occasional tech difficulties I face in class. read more

I started coming back to this Cyclebar after the Manhattan Beach one closed. Pros are that they have showers / lockers / easy parking and I like the themed classes and instructors. Cons are that they weirdly would censor classes with their music, if i'm taking a Nicki Minaj themed class I think I'm okay with some cusswords during the music lol. They also charge for shoe rentals now, I have my own but something to note! But also their front desk staff aren't always very helpful. For example, my bike last class wouldn't show any of my stats and so I couldn't figure out resistance / speeds which is necessary for the class and would turn off. We tried to fix it before the class but nothing. I reported it to the front desk and just got "Well looks like you got sweaty so!" My workout was very impacted by this though and considering how expensive classes are, and the tech malfunction not my fault, I'd think they'd be willing to comp a class or something but instead I felt half listened to and moved on. Feedback or issues tend to be disregarded - which has happened before to me. read more

I was excited to come try Cycle Bar again after a hiatus and excited for the hiphop ride I signed up for through ClassPass. When I arrived, the front desk couldn't find my reservation so I showed her the confirmation that I received from ClassPass. However, they didn't honor it. The studio said if I wanted to attend the class then I would need to wait to see if there was a no show and pay the drop in rate through the studio. Since I made the trip out and referred a friend to this class, I shelled out the extra money since the class already started. That dampened my experience and I didn't get to enjoy the full class. They also started charging $4 for shoe rentals for people booked on third party reservations such as on ClassPass. I definitely notice a difference where it's not as inviting when you book externally vs through their studio. The instructor was great and the staff was helpful in getting me set up. Also, liked the playlist. The room does feel stuffy and when it's a full class, you smell all kinds of stuff around you. There were amenities available such as lockers, water refill station, hair straightener, lockers, and showers. Parking in the lot can be a pain because it's not the biggest lot. It takes some time to find a spot when it's during peak hours. read more

Was a great time clean and safe! It was awesome to have such a safe community and fun time.

The owner is super sweet and flexible. Love the staff and the instructors are great. I do wish there was more coordination and dance movement during the class but still a great workout out. read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Culver City, California

Great class that will make you SWEAT. I loved the studio, the aesthetic, and the energy of the class. However, the only thing that dampened my experience was the attitude of one of the front desk workers. I'm sure regulars know who I'm talking about--she's a loud and energetic individual who seems to be trying to come across as friendly but instead feels obnoxious and arrogant. I arrived a half hour early to fill out the waiver form, but the iPad wasn't working. Another worker kindly came over to help, but the issue persisted. That's when this particular worker came over and started blaming us--as if we were incompetent--when the problem was clearly the frozen iPad. She even blamed the other worker in front of clients, which was baffling since it wasn't her fault at all. When she eventually entered my information herself--incorrectly, I might add--the form finally went through, and she loudly shouted something along the lines of, "I'M THE BEST" in front of everyone. Okay... Another client also had an issue with the iPad, and once again, this worker had to assist. Instead of handling it calmly, she was passive-aggressive toward the other worker who was genuinely trying to help us. I understand she may have been trying to teach, but her tone and attitude came off as condescending and unprofessional. To top it off, five minutes before class, she muttered, "Next time, come in earlier." Seriously? I was there nearly 30 minutes early--how was this my fault? The studio should consider allowing clients to complete waivers through their booking app or at least have printed copies available in case their system malfunctions. Aside from that experience, everyone else was friendly, and the studio itself was fantastic. If you're looking for an intense, high-energy workout, this place delivers--but maybe avoid the front desk drama. read more

I absolutely love this CycleBar! Mary is the best instructor and she does a great job of motivating and keeping the class energized!

I had a membership here for 2 month and really loved my experience! You can get a free first class and they also had a great promo for new members. The staff are all super nice and eager to help anyone with questions. The first time I came in, the staff helped me set up my bike and gave me a quick rundown of how it works which was super helpful. I would definitely recommend coming in early if its your first time! The instructors are all super friendly and had great energy. I've taken classes by a few different instructors but Hunter is definitely my favorite! I also liked how this location provides you with a towel since the Manhattan Beach location doesn't. Great place for cycling if you're looking for a studio to try! read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Culver City, California

I had a good experience and the instructor Mary was great but the bike was not working. My name was not on the board and the bike was not tracking my calories/speed. It was my first time and I paid for the drop in class. read more

Great studio with wonderful energetic instructors with great playlists! I've been to other CycleBar Studios while traveling and same great experience. I've been to a lot of different Spin studios and this is my fav! read more

The coaches who direct the sessions are amazing. However, I had to deal with their staff, by the name of Kristie: I disputed a transaction with her, where I was charged an order on line. I have not completed the transaction yet. Legally, the form on the website should show a prompt to click "submit" and at least show me the form I filled out completed. It was not the case. I was very concerned when I called Kristie in that regard and was imediately refunded. She sounded impatient and quickly reproached me for being upset on the phone, where all I was doing is trying to explain how the set up on the website was not accurate when filling out the order. I was considering to include more rides. Not anymore, because I also noticed that there was a follow up on this incident: the attitude of the front desk staff changed. I noticed even they were unprofessional with the manner they spoke to me: using a rude tone of voice. I emailed Kristie in that regard but received no response. Too bad when a company does not take into consideration the importance of a good customer service. read more

I train on Classpass all across the USA 2 weeks per month while on the road for work. I also do SoulCycle and other various places and I know the policies for entry in a group class/ if it's your first time you must arrive 15 mins in advance to get settled in and receive briefing, if you are an active experienced cyclist and even more if you have been cycling with Cyclebar regularly you can hop in even after the class started bc you won't be disruptive to the class and don't need anybody's help. I showed up at 9:03 and the lady had locked the entrance door, refused to let me in, wrote me as a no show even when I told her I know that there is a 5 mins deadline to get in (some locations even leave 10 like the last one I was at. She said " not here unfortunately you have to be here 15 mins in advance " I told her I cycle EVERYDAY and know the policies and that's not true and I am within the time frame to hop on a bike She was being difficult, made me miss my morning training, I am in complete emotional dysregulation and rage now and can't do any cycling class warm up before my Barry's bc the timeframe to reserve elsewhere is all closed I have adhd and need to do intense workouts every morning to help balance dopamine in my brain or I get very unwell agitated and angry She is being a difficult Karen and ruined my whole day read more

I booked a class via ClassPass & I'm so glad I did. The facility is extremely clean. They provide complimentary clip-in shoes, towels, & water. 1st time visitors also get a free water bottle and your locker decorated with your name & an encouraging message. A nice man (I think his name is Nick) walked me to my bike & helped me clip in. If it's your 1st time, definitely get there early to get situated. The actual room you ride in is very clean. The machines seem to be new. They're fairly close together; I would have liked the option to spread out since the class wasn't full. Wow what a workout! The instructor Abby was fantastic! So nice & very motivating. After the class I was given a wipe to clean my machine. On top of that, someone also sanitizes every machine. Everyone I encountered at this studio was super nice & friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

For new folks who are thinking of trying out the studio: The staff is friendly. Class was great. My experience being a new rider at their specific studio: I decided to try it out with my sister, but even it bring 3.5 miles from my work, it takes me 45 minutes to get there. Since it takes me so long, I decided not to attend anymore. After our first class, they contacted us to sign up for more classes. My sister and I both kindly told them no thank you and they said ok thanks for letting us know. Every 2 days they continue to text and call us. It's a bit ridiculous and extremely annoying at this point. I understand other studios have follow up calls, but this is by far the most annoying one. read more

Love love love Cyclebar! Been going here on classpass and decided to become a member because of how fun and great of a workout it is! I usually go in the mornings to Monique, Jules or Kari but honestly all the instructors are great!! Love Lindy's and Maggie's night classes too! If you're looking for a fitness studio with good music and a good workout, this is your spot! read more

Beware of signing up for a monthly membership. Not only do you have to "request" and give notice to cancel 30 days in advance, but they will also charge you for an additional month you don't want to pay for because you're cancelling!!! It's so insane and goes to show they don't care about client experience but getting as much money from you as possible before you leave. The classes and instructors are solid but I would stick to buying class packs. They're better in the long run. read more

Cycle Bar has literally became my second version of therapy! Physical + mental wellness!!! Shoutout to Melissa for being such an amazing instructor! read more

I didn't want to post anything but it's been 2 months now and I've been scammed multiple times!! I am moving away and needed to cancel my membership. I was told that this could only be done in person.. so I went to the Culver City location and requested to cancel. The lady behind the desk said I had to email... so I continue to the class, I got followed by a male that works there asking me questions and telling me I can pause my membership instead of cancelling but I told him I will email to cancel.. I got home and emailed. I didn't get a response after 2 days ( I was hoping to cancel intime before getting charged for the next month)so I went back to the location and again asked to cancel my membership... the lady behind the desk said that she couldn't do it and the manager wasn't there so I had to email again! Anyway after they finally confirmed to cancel my account over a month ago, I got charged again this month!!! They haven't cancelled my account at all! They are scammers I'm so disappointed Almost $200 taken out of my account for 2 months that I haven't used and requested to cancel within the time frames!!! read more

Great location. The staff is so nice and friendly - always willing to stick around after class to answer questions. Jules is my favorite teacher, she picks great music and does a good mix of movement/biking techniques throughout the class. I'm definitely an introverted person who is not comfortable with exercising so it's really nice to feel like class is a safe space where you are able to push yourself and be seen by the instructor but not feel judged by other riders. Also the parking lot is a bit chaotic at times, there are a lot of restaurants in the plaza, but there is free valet parking for cycle bar. That said please consider tipping the valet folks if you can. They have to deal with a lot of cars coming and going between classes and have a tough job when it's busy. read more

I've been to cyclebar a couple of times and I've gotta say that these are the most boring spin classes I have ever been to. I go to spin at least 2 times a week and decided to pick up a 3rd near my work place. The room smells like BO and the bikes are so close together that there is no room for dynamic movements. read more

I think I spend more time here than I do at home these days. (Kidding...kinda sorta.) I was reeled in by all of the ads that were popping up on my Facebook feed during Stay at home orders. I stayed active by tuning outdoors but as the sun started to set earlier and my workdays were getting longer, I knew I needed to find an alternative. Cycle classes became the alternative that I didn't know I had been missing out on my whole active life. One ride with Jules and I was sold. Immediately bought a 5 ride package and then signed up for an 8 ride membership. Jules and Kari are amazing instructors that I actually have abandoned my favorite instructors at Soul Cycle. These girls will work you out so hard but class is over before you know it. Their routines are challenging yet somehow still so stress-relieving and empowering. The support staff is always so welcoming and it is apparent that they respect the ownership by the way they represent the business day in and day out. I love Soul Cycle BUT I love CycleBar more. I also spin in Las Vegas as that is my 2nd residence...the Culver City patrons are blessed to have the opportunity to ride with Jules and Kari. Trust. I highly recommend this place. Just leave a bike open for me cuz I get really grumpy when I can't get into my 6:45 class. Lol. read more

Wow, what a sense of community, approachability, kindness, and helpfulness. I had an amazing first experience in Jules class this morning. I was aided three times before the class started to make sure my equipment was set up properly, and making sure that I felt comfortable. Everyone was so kind and made sure I received the best workout experience. I would highly recommend this place for beginners or even experts. You really can't beat the experience here. Great hospitality all around. read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Culver City, California

LOVED this class! This was my first spin class at cyclebar and I had a great ride. Monique was our instructor and I felt very comfortable once my bike was set up. This class will have you drenched in sweat, spun about 15 miles in 50 minutes as you go through intervals of intensity. Wasn't the biggest fan of the music choices but that's just me. I'll definitely be back to try some different instructors hopefully with better music. I liked the spin class was very traditional and didn't have an excess of spin choreography. Definitely recommend to give this place a try. read more

I absolutely LOVE coming to CycleBar Culver City! I recently became a member and have been coming regularly since joining. The facility is always kept clean and the instructors here are very patient and understanding about individual capacities while also pushing you to push yourself. Steph and the rest of the staff here are extremely welcoming and supportive, and this studio is already starting to feel like my home away from home! I've had an especially great experience with Kirstie, who has cheered me on since I've joined and has been so accommodating with any questions I've had about my membership and class options. read more

Love, love, LOVE this studio! The instructors are fantastic, as well as the staff, and the studio has done a great job with COVID precautions during these weird times. They made me feel so welcome when I started as a new rider that I ended up signing up for unlimited monthly classes! I also love that the classes are 30 minutes - perfect workout. Would highly recommend. read more

Tried this through classpass and it was a really fun way to work out and get the endorphins released. Each staff member was nice and helpful and made sure to answer any questions I had. The Performance class was great for both beginners and those who are more advanced because you could go at your own pace. The dark room and upbeat music definitely helped with motivation. The facilities are very clean and they provide you with shoes, a locker, restrooms, showers, and amenities like a hair dryer and moisturizer. There's some free parking spots right out front as well as more free parking in the complex. read more

100000/10. I have done a lot of group classes and activities but this by far was the best! The staff and instructors were so friendly (sometimes I have bad experiences as a hijabi). Everyone was so welcoming, even my fellow riders! The staff decorated my locker and even wrote cute notes after. The staff was really helpful in explaining how everything worked and helped to adjust the bike to my height and comfort to ensure I had the best ride possible. The instructor was full of energy and made sure to encourage and shout me out during the ride which made the experience way more meaningful and made me feel like part of their community :) Will most definitely be coming back! Would highly reccommend it even if you're just starting out! read more

Okay, so I've been coming here for a couple of months now. WORKOUT QUALITY I used to regularly lift at the gym but when COVID came along and closed things down, I stopped and haven't returned since! Cyclebar was my attempt at working out again after a year of random home workouts. Cyclebar is FANTASTIC cardio. I would probably not recommend it as your only form of working out if your goal is to gain muscle and tone up. If you want to just burn calories and get cardio in, this is a great option. I've just recently decided to return to the gym and opt for a lower ride-per-month membership here so that I don't feel as bad spending so much on this membership AND my gym membership. EXPERIENCE This is just a fun way to workout. The 45 minutes (usually) goes by fast and is fun. I would also say that the instructor has a lot of impact on this. I've become pretty religious about going to Mikey's classes! He's the GOAT. Great mix of hills, speed, and all to a great beat/music. And fun lights. Mikey likes to turn the "sexy red lights" on when we climb hills. Parking here can be rough around 7-8pm on weekdays. Every other time is pretty manageable. It's pretty expensive but I think it's on par with other cycling gyms. It does make it tricky if you want to have multiple types of gym memberships though. The ONLY negative thing I have to say...... and this has really been grossing me out lately... Two of the most recent times I've come, I bent over the seat of my bike to adjust the seat and got a huge wiff of PUTRID body odor. And this is private area body odor which is all the more repulsive!! I see they close the doors between each class to clean and they also have us wipe our bike down after our ride too. So either people have such strong BO that is burns itself into the fabric of these seats... or the cleaning is just not thorough enough. The first time, I asked to switch bikes. I felt dramatic for it but it was so gross. The second time, I just got up and grabbed a wipe then scrubbed it down as much as I could. I still felt gross the whole ride though. Cyclebar, PLEASE scrub those seats down or something. Not to be dramatic, but I honestly would consider cancelling my membership if this keeps happening just because it grosses me out THAT much! Oh also, if you are a member. PSA - don't fart in class!! We are trapped in there with it and it's rude! It's literally happened to me twice LOL. K byeeeeee AMENDMENT to my original 4 star review: they called me and emailed me about the bike seat situation, said they would be treating the leather seats more frequently and are in the process of gradually replacing seats with newer ones. I appreciate the customer support and how seriously they took that! read more

Highly recommend Emma, Jules, and Kari! They are great and will push you to do your best (or you can go at your own pace which is totally fine!)! This is my first time going to a spin studio and truly love every class I go to. Great community. Very welcoming and motivating community, from all of the instructors and the fellow riders as well! read more

This is my favorite place - the community is so inclusive and encouraging. All the instructors are amazing - special shout-out to Jules and Monique for motivating me & keeping me coming back. I've been coming here since year 1, and on year 5 I don't ever plan on leaving! Steph the owner is the best. read more

The staff goes above and beyond to welcome you and make you feel part of the community. Cycling can be a little intimidating, but not at CycleBar! The classes are jammed pack 45 minute cardio, arms, and abs. The time flies by as the instructors are very engaged in the class and are constantly changing up the workout to keep riders interested. Lauren Analla in particular is STELLAR, bug you really can't go wrong. read more

The best spin studio!! I love coming to this cycle bar. Everyone from the front desk to the instructor are so friendly and helpful. The staff is so helpful in setting up your bike and making sure you feel good. I love the classes so much better than Soul Cycle. Cycle Bar feels like they are motivating you in a positive way rather than getting in your face and yelling at you. It's great for all levels and very clean! I like that they don't charge you for the shoes (unlike other spin studios). The parking lot can get full so I would get there extra early to park. Overall, it's my favorite spin studio! read more

I think I should start by saying I have never been a fan of cycling. At least I thought I wasn't...seems I was going about it all wrong. That said, this is nothing like the spin class you get at your $30/month box gym. I signed up for one of their free beginner classes online and from the moment I walked in the employees were A+ at showing me the ropes and getting me started. When signing up online you pick a bike the same way you would a seat at a concert, and I have to say sometimes the class feels like a concert with lighting changes and awesome music (that thankfully is not TOO loud). The instructor Nicolette was the perfect balance of energy and was extremely helpful in getting my bike setup before class. The studio itself is super clean, I love that the lockers are free, though that area in particular is a bit cramped so make sure to get there early to get yourself settled. There are also complimentary snacks, towel service, cycling shoes, and water. It truly felt like a lux experience and really helped to ease the burn of cycling. I've already booked my next to classes and can't wait to go back. TIPS: - If you sign up with your profile online the studio will email your stats and rank as soon as it's over so you can see how you did and track your progress as you go on which, being a numbers person, I LOVE. -Parking is easy during the weekday mornings as it's in the Culver Crossroads lot. Expect to fight for a spot in the evenings. read more

I LOVE this place and the people who work here! The energy is amazing and I've never been so excited to exercise and get sweaty! My favorite instructor is Jules, but I've taken and still take classes with the other instructors. There are a few showers available in case you need, but it gets packed in the early classes so you may have to wait for one. They are usually pretty well stocked, but sometimes something you need may be missing--such as soap lol you should bring your own loofa or wash cloth but they provide large towels, deodorant, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, razors and q-tips. There's also hair ties, ear plugs and blow dryers. If you need a shower cap, bring one because they aren't provided. Parking can be a disaster if you're attending an evening class, so try to arrive early. If you run late, there's valet available. read more

On my first visit here, I was received with a very warm welcome. The staff was so informative and pleasant. They gave me a quick tour and showed me all of the amenities they have. They have clean, stocked showers and even blow dryers and other hot tools if you so choose to use. Plenty of other things as well. They also showed me how to adjust their bikes and use their controls. The bike allows you to see your resistance, rpm, etc., which can be a little distracting, but putting a towel over it helps. They occasionally pop the scoreboard up on the board, which is great if you're the competitive type. Otherwise, you can opt out of being displayed on the board prior to class commencing. The music is hit or miss. I like that they have themed rides though, so if you like that particular artist(s), you can't go wrong. read more

Was booking classes through my ClassPass subscription, started enjoying the classes I was taking so I just switched over to a membership directly with CycleBar! I've been able to take more classes than I was before and I've enjoyed every single one. I think so far my favorite instructor is Jules! I'm loving her T Swift & friends themed classes read more

I got into spin classes after months of going crazy in my apartment since the Great Lockdown began. I never thought I was going to do spin in a parking lot before but I needed to get my body back in shape. I knew I was going to have an excuse to get out multiple times a week, but what I didn't expect was the great staff, the amazing community and the wonderful vibe CycleBar Culver City has managed to cultivate. With a wide array of instructors with their unique styles, you're guaranteed to find the perfect personalities to get you motivated! If you find yourself unable to take a class here, you can also use your membership at the Santa Monica location! With their regular charity drives, you can feel good while both inside and out. And with the pandemic going on, the staff goes up and beyond to keep their bikes incredibly clean and their riders safe! The only issue I have is going to a class later in the afternoon when the BBQ place next door starts up for the day--this is less of an issue with CB and more of my lack of self-control when it comes to BBQ. But hey--at least it's convenient protein for post-workout? :3 read more
