I loved this place for so long, but I've become increasingly frustrated by it. The latest issue was a 33 percent increase in my monthly subscription. I received an email stating we would have a "small" increase. 33 percent is not small! And new fees are continally added for late cancellations or no shows. I understand, but I think some tolerance should be given. For example, if I cancel a class late because I wake up sick, I pay $20. However, if the studio is flooded, the instructor is late, the sound system isn't working etc, (all of which I've experienced) we get nothing. The experienced and best instructors continue to leave. The new ones are ok but could benefit from more instruction. And their playlists are chosen by them, so it's very hit or miss. I don't really enjoy an instrumental ride for instance. And it's SO loud. I wear earplugs but it's still barely tolerable. On a positive note, the front desk people are very nice. Also, the studio is in the same complex as a grocery store which is convenient. read more

Such a fun first visit to CycleBar. Took my first class here with a group for their 2000s-themed ride and the **vibes** were great from start to finish. The staff was genuinely welcoming and helpful, and the studio and amenities were spotless, which made the whole experience feel really elevated. Even as someone who isn't usually into cycling, the music, lighting, and overall atmosphere made it easy to get into the workout and just enjoy the class. read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I rode here for the first time yesterday and had a great time. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and overall they made it a very fun and welcoming experience. I have only ever done spin at 1 other studio (Tribe up in Baltimore), and while I think the quality of the instruction was comparable, the equipment at Cyclebar seems old and worn out by comparison. Not a big deal, you still get exercise and, like I said, the instruction was great, but the old bikes with worn out component makes the whole experience a lot less smooth and, at least for me, this made it a bit harder for me to loose myself in the ride. Given the lack of options in the area, I will still likely be back, and I did really enjoy the instructor. read more

Loved this studio and my CycleBar class with Monica. The studio looks small on the outside but is big. The waiting area has just enough seating to allow you to get your shoes on without being too packed. The bathrooms have all the essentials including a shower. The actual cycling studio itself is huge & well air conditioned. The lights & music were excellent. The studio staff was friendly & Monic was engaging and pushed me. If I remember correctly there were gendered bathrooms but the studio felt LGBTQ friendly! read more

Pros: Great facility. Great gear and spin equipment. Love the low lighting. Some of the instructors are top notch like Aimee. Cons: Not really for guys or middle aged men for that matter. Geared towards young female clientele. The music is almost entirely female pop. Sometimes it's even worse...such as "Disney Channel Throwbacks"...that was literally a theme recently. The majority of instructors are almost all under 30yo and young females; I've NEVER seen a male instructor here. There are two restrooms as well...one female; the other all-gender. Nope! No male restroom. If that's not a message, I don't know what is. It can also be incredibly and (almost) overwhelmingly hot and humid in there...especially during the summer months. The girls in the class are always complaining of it being cold...so men like myself who carry a lot of muscle mass and sweat a lot, suffer during the summer inside this studio. All in all it's good for a spin workout...but it's clearly not geared for men. read more

This was my first time at Cyclebar! Took the Margarita Monday class with Jasmine, which was 45 min of challenging rides and an arm workout at the end. (There were also drinks served after class!) As soon as I walked in, I was blown away by how friendly and welcoming this studio was. Don was amazing at showing me around, helping me with my shoes, and getting my bike ready for class. He even made a custom sign for me out front. Thank you, Don!!! The class itself was challenging and had great music and energy from Jasmine! Studio is clean, stocked, and has a great community. You just need to bring a water bottle and you'll be provided shoes, a towel, and anything else to make your ride as enjoyable as possible. Note: If you have wider feet, the shoes provided might feel a bit uncomfortable towards the end of class. read more

Great local cycling studio. You will break some serious sweat here and boy will your muscles ache the next day. Very VERY clean place. Plenty of bikes, towels, not to mention rental shoes so you don't ruin your sneakers. Workouts vary, fun soundtracks. The studio has regular promotions so it is not impossible to score discounted membership. Also check Groupon. read more

The best spin class I've been to in awhile. Had a morning ride with Jakob and he was energetic and encouraging and definitely pushed you. For a morning class, he really did a good job of getting the energy up with all attendees and it was a challenging ride. It was clear he was a very well liked teacher and I see why. The front desk staff was also so nice and welcoming! Studio was clean, well kept, shoe rental was free, some decor for pride, and they even decorated my locker for my first time which was just so cute, especially since I had an early class. Bathrooms were well stocked though there is only one per gender so probably wouldn't recommend trying to shower there unless you're in a pinch. read more

Smaller location then the location on Columbia pike, I really enjoyed the energy of this location. They offered cold towels after, the bathrooms were nice (only 2 though) and check in was quick. I love that they have both weights on the machine for your choice for arms. They have some free parking downstairs in the HT parking lot. I'd love to comeback for a few more classes! read more

I've taken a few more classes at this particular location, and it's been better. There's only one staff that I've see that actually goes around and checks on everyone's bike and makes sure we are doing okay. I'm not sure what her name is, but she has glasses and has long dark hair! I've tried Jasmine and Megan's classes and they've been SO much better. read more

Welcome to the Falls Church City Cycle Bar! One thing that the little city does not have is a cycling studio. It's great how it's located in the heart of the mini district, right next to Harris Teeter and below West Broad Apartments. Walking distance for many local residents including myself. I heard about the studio though my apartment complex and checked it out online. My boyfriend and I thought to give it a try on our day off. We booked our bike online. As soon as we arrived, the front staff pleasantly greeted us. They directed us to the iPad for check in and pointed us to our cubby where our shoes were waiting to be picked up. So organized!!! The shoes were a bit narrow for me...but fits fine. I just have wide feet so it was a bit uncomfortable. Our instructor was Shane. He's exactly what other yelpers reviewed him as, great music and fun. He helped us with adjusting ourselves onto the bike. It was different for us compared to zengo and soul cycle. Is it better, if you ask? The pedals wasn't my fave but the monitor to record your results were awesome! Makes you competitive. So it's better for those are very into cycling and intermediate level. Shane routine pushes you. His playlist really got me pushing. Overall it was a great class! Let's talk studio. The layout of the bikes were too close. When stretching I accidently keep bumping into my neighbor and vice versa. There are two bathrooms, each with a shower. They provide hair ties, deodorant, towels, cotton swobs, and hair spray. The lockers are medium sized. Big enough to fit a small gym bag, shoes and purse. It's not a digital lock however you spin in your own pw and lock. For a beginner level, it's tough and it did not start out easy BUT I sure heck will come back! Prices: Drop in is $20 Currently having grand opening specials so check online or call the studio. read more

I tried out cyclebar using classpass and can say it's def one of my fave cycling places. I hop around to different instructors and they're all good - I enjoy the high energy in every class. From the first class, the folks that work there have always been helpful and welcoming. As far as the logistics, there is free parking in the garage by Harris teeter. It's easy to get to the studio via the elevator from level P1 in the garage. Check-in is a breeze with the self check in. Note, if you use classpass, you'll get auto assigned a seat..if using classpass I like to check which seat I have. If I'm not really into where I'm placed and if they have room, they will kindly switch - just have to ensure I'm there far enough in advance to allow time for the update. Another pro is that they offer free shoe rental for those that do not have cycling shoes for these bikes. If you're looking for a fun and energetic indoor cycling class, def recommend trying out cyclebar! read more

CYCLEBAR - Personalized lockers for our first visit! So cute!! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I used the Falls Church Cycle Bar. I was charged a no-show fee of $20 even though I had already paid a monthly fee for 4 classes per month and hadn't used up all the classes. I think the policies are just terrible. They also charge you to use their shoes. They are nickel and diming you straight into their own demise. There seems to be a lot of turnover of cycle instructors. I liked most of them. In the 6 months I belonged, going once or twice a week, I had at least 3 broken bikes that never recorded my cycling stats. The volume is too loud and I worry terribly that many who attend this class frequently will have permanent hearing loss in the future. read more

Great class Jasmine, the instructor was awesome and the class was energizing. It is unfortunate that two of the women at the front desk had ridiculous attitude problems. One was beyond stressed about fire codes disrupting the fundraising event (for people with PARKINSONS) and the other had an absurd attitude about people joining who were not already registered. It set an awful tone for an event that was intended to raise money. And more importantly I have no interest in returning to this venue for future spin classes even though the teacher was awesome and I surprisingly LOVED IT!!!! read more

CycleBar is literally my new obsession!!! (And I haven't been to the other locations but am LOVING my FallsChurch studio so why try another one?) so far all of the instructors have been amazing and the classes are killer good! The workout: sometimes you sweat, sometimes you love it, sometimes you think you're going to collapse (in a good way), sometimes you wanna sing, sometimes you want to curse.... but every single class you leave FEELING AMAZING! The instructors: each instructor is a little different but every single one changes up each class so you never do the same thing twice (which is amazing) The energy: one of the best environments for a workout studio that I've experienced. Everyone is so upbeat, sometimes singing along and sometimes cheering even while working up a major hill (can't say that I always do, sometimes I'm just trying hard to remember to breathe lol) The price: can't be beat - I think it's maybe the best prices cycling studio in the area? And while some others charge you for shoe rentals, CycleBar FallsChurch has great packages, amazing free raffle rides (I won a free unlimited month... talk about amazing! But that's not why I love the studio lolll, I'm still going even though that month is up), shoes are included in the pricing, and other perks like provided water bottles/fruits for after/brunch rides with mimosas after/and many other goodies... oh and at the end of the classes Maurice even gives us a cold towel (ammaaazing) Ok end of rant. Can't wait for my next sweat sesh with my girls! read more

I signed up for Margarita Monday with Shane and was a little nervous since the last spin class I took in college went horribly, so my expectations (for myself) were low. parking is really tight. For the number of bikes that fit in one class, there are maybe 1/5 of the spots reserved in the garage. The other spots are reserved for Harris Teeter so make sure to get there early to snag a spot. The studio is small and hectic.Walking in was a little intimidating because all that was happening. I went to the front desk and said it was my first day. Immediately, the girl behind the desk came out and introduced herself to me. She led me to the cubbies where I could check in on an iPad and where my shoes were located. Then, she look me to the lockers where a welcome sign was written on my assigned locker. Inside was a water bottle and charging station for my phone. She walked me to the room with all the bikes and another girl led me to my bike, and then helped me adjust it and clip in. She didn't leave until I assured her I was good to go. The class is fun and energetic and Shane was a great instructor. I'm not sure I did everything right but it was fun trying and music was upbeat. When it was over, there were bananas and margaritas waiting in the locker room. Overall, the experience was great and the staff was amazing. read more

I started Wednesday scared and afraid I am going to be out of shape since the only workouts I have done this year has been Orange Theory. The staff all did a great job with making me feel welcome and did everything to support me and make sure my ride went smooth. On my second day, this morning people were happy to help and were supportive even when I had bike issues. The music is great and keeps everyone motivated and the 45 min fly by. I signed up for 8 classes a month and already wishing I could afford unlimited. read more

I really dig this studio. Everyone is super approachable, and helpful. The guy that helped me mount on the bike made sure I got my measurements before I left. I also appreciated the decor. The lockers are all white, roomey and contain a charger for your phone. They write messages for new clients on the front of their lockers. The bathroom contains different amenities (hair ties, deodorant, female products, extra towels, etc.). The class was more challenging then some of the other studios I've been to. This studio has bikes that have gear and RPM settings. The instructor shouts out the goal ranges during class, which pushes and motivates you to aim for your goal. Instead of cutesy dumbells, they have weighted spirit sticks. The only downfall is the parking. There are very limited designated spaces in the garage. They share the space with an apartment building and Harris teeter clients. It must be a nightmare during prime shopping hours. Parking is available on the street, but requires a small walk. 100% will be back though! read more

I attended a CycleBar class on 11/4/18 which was part of their anniversary weekend. The cheaper drop in rate meant I could no longer come up with an excuse not to try it out. I really hope they run the promotion again next year. I have attended a number of indoor cycling classes over the years. CycleBar does stand out from other "boutique gyms" I have tried in the past. I liked how they offer students a free water bottle, snacks, coffee, water and SPD shoes. I will address why I think the add-ons are a really nice feature. Besides making you feel like you're part of a community, CycleBar although competitive with the industry, is not cheap and not having to pay extra for "creature comforts" indirectly to me said they appreciated your business. I didn't really need a lot of help with my bike but I got the impression the front desk staff was more than willing to help if needed. I expected to sweat. I expected to burn a ton of calories. I did both. My instructor's energy and interaction with the class was top notch. I liked how he connected with the class by sharing information like why he choose a particular song. On a side note, my impression is CycleBar instructors have a lot of freedom on how to structure a class. If you don't like an instructor and like to cycle I would encourage you to try another one. The only reason I can personally not give CycleBar a 4 star rating is although I had fun in my class I don't think the workouts are great for everyone. People who have been out of the fitness for an extended period of time (not talking about people who've taken a month off) are going to struggle. The cycle movements are fast and the weight training portion does not offer form correction which could cause injuries. Although I understand the "rhythm ride" concept at CycleBar, it could be too much of a challenge for a newer and/or inactive individual. I knew what I was doing so the lack of cues (e.g. how much RPM, Watts ) on how to read the computer was fine. I also understood I could do my own thing but again if I was new to this type of workout I might have felt insecure about not keeping up with the instructor. In a nutshell, if you know you like to cycle/spin and/or need an indoor training for something like running CycleBar offers a fun way to get it done. read more

I've been coming here for about a year now. All the instructors are so enthusiastic, have great energy c and have different teaching styles which I really like. The studio is very clean with great amenities such as a damp washcloth after every workout, a towel, and toiletries in the two bathrooms. The workouts are tough, however I feel the instructors make sure you are doing ok throughout the whole class. You will definitely sweat after!! Yes the classes are a bit pricey but I feel the studio always have great deals especially during the holidays and their anniversary sale. So I highly recommend locking your rates in during that time because it's sooo worth it! read more

CycleBar Falls Church is a great addition to the 'Little City', Falls Church. Located off West Broad St, neighboring Harris Teeter. Parking is available in the garage shared by Harris Teeter and West Broad Residence (P1). There are plenty of parking, and parking spaces dedicated to CycleBar guests. I started attending CycleBar because of their marketing of "Free" classes the first few weeks of their grand opening and the convenience of being right under my apartment complex. Registration online is fairly simple and user friendly once you create your account. Once you schedule your time slot for your class, you just need to show up, check in and grab a pair of your cycle shoes. Cycle shoes are provided and are conveniently placed in the assigned cubby below the check in tablet. The cubbies are labeled with numbers associated with the bike you reserved - very organized and straight forward! There are also lockers available where you can store your personal belongings - no lock required! There is a built lock for your daily use, as well as a USB port where you can bring your USB charging cable to charge your phone while you're in class! After putting away your personal items, you can fill up your water bottle at their water station. Quick stream of chilled water so you can fill up quickly and head into class. There are two bathrooms available! Cyclebar provides the toiletries and basic shower necessity you need. This is definitely a plus because when you're rushing to your early AM class, you may forget things. Now on to the classes. I have been to 5 continuous days of (Free) cyclebar classes so far and I keep coming back! Sure, early morning classes may be a struggle, but the thought of your workout being over at ~7am is great! Another reason why I keep coming back (besides it being free at the moment) is because of the motivation. Since starting, I have steadily moved up in rankings - today I made it to 2nd place! Cyclebar provides a modern twist to the traditional cycle classes. Each class incorporates upper body training so your arms are as toned as your legs! The playlist mixes of CycleBar beats keep you going. Each instructor is different and unique to each instructor and am happy to switch up everyday - music keeps the body moving. My favorite instructor with my type of beats to keep me moving so far is Monica! Love her energy and playlist. Aside from the amazing endorphin activated workout, the staff at cyclebar Falls Church has been amazing. I always have trouble locking my left cycle shoes and they seem to be there as soon as I look up! Overall, this premium indoor cycling is amazing. I look forward to joining in the CycleBar family soon! read more

I have so much love for this studio and cannot recommend it enough! Every instructor provides a unique personality to cycling workouts, while all of the classes give you an amazing 45 minute calorie burning workout that motivates you to continue staying active even when you leave the studio. The relationship between instructors and riders has created a wonderful community at this studio and I suggest anyone interested in getting in shape or finding a place to connect with others to give the first free ride a try! read more

CYCLEBAR - Studio decorated for Pride - Cycling Classes Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Feels kind of gender-biased. Not really somewhere a man would feel comfortable. During the spin class, they make you perform rather feminine-type dance moves. Stylish, modern, friendly and clean environment, but geared more towards women. read more

Cancelling membership at Cyclebar is IMPOSSIBLE!! I was unable to commit to a year due to my job and at first they were accommodating to allow a 6 month "contract" (no binding contract was signed) and assured me with their flexibility that they would not impose any penalty for cancellation. Now, I am moving out of state and must cancel my membership. Sent an email which was forwarded to the manager. It seems only the manager can process a cancellation. I have received no replies back. Since then, have sent numerous follow-up emails. It has been nearly a month and still no reply. Called many times and have only finally gotten through to someone (very difficult to get a live person on the phone) but only to be told that they would have to forward my request to the manager. Tried going to my account on-line and unable to remove my credit card. Due to my busy schedule, I have been unable to go there directly. Didn't think it would be this difficult. Don't like to post reviews like this but this has been just so frustrating. This review is not a reflection on the classes/instructors and most people there are very friendly and quite helpful but sadly, this ordeal has trumped what otherwise would've been a good experience at Cyclebar. read more

This is my absolute favorite cycle spot! From the great instructors, who are encouraging in as many ways as they are different and inspiring, to the staff, who go out of their way to meet your every need, to the cleanliness of the studio. No detail is left out. Welcome notes greet new riders & your fellow studio riders are friendly & outgoing. Although there is only one shower (which can be tricky), it is clean & fully stocked with towels as a bonus. Highly recommend a visit!! read more

Running is my first love. But on days that the weather isn't cooperating or my legs need a break from pounding the pavement, I opt to spin for cardio. I am so glad that I have found CycleBar! The friendliness of the staff and atmosphere is beyond awesome! The bikes are top-notch and I love that there are monitors on every bike that will track each ride and help you keep pace with the RPM and resistance. You can track your progress and see improvement after every class. Plus, there are also races throughout class against the other riders (a little friendly competition never hurt nobody). Although, there are other trendy spin studios within walking distance to me, I still prefer CycleBar and will drive to it because I think the classes are THAT MUCH better. The bikes aren't sitting on top of each other and the sound system is amazing. Parking is never an issue because there are reserved spots underground at the Harris Teeter parking garage. Also, the cycling shoes are INCLUDED in the price you pay for the class (not an additional charge like other studios), which is definitely a plus! And for my birthday, I was surprised at the end of class with a balloon and bottle of Kombucha with a bow. How cute is that?! Thanks, Meghan! Recently, I was emailed by Maurice, the General Manager, informing me that I was overpaying for my classes and that he would take care of it by adding some comped classes to my account. Totally appreciated! This studio is truly a great addition to Falls Church and I will continue to rave and rave about CycleBar! read more

Loved my first time at this studio! I had a free first ride and I was so welcomed with a free t-shirt and water bottle. The workers helped me adjust my bike and what I like about this studio are the stats you get sent after your ride! You see your results which I personally like. You also get a fresh cold lavender towel post ride. Overall 10/10 and I'm def purchasing a membership! read more

Great studio and instructors. Hard workout in 45 mins. I do wish they had more times offered late morning, mid day.

I would recommend this location for all levels of biking/spin experience. They do an excellent job of making everyone feel welcomed and the overall community environment is great. Friendly staff and great instructors definitely helps. With multiple classes, many time/date options, and different themed rides, this place has it all. read more

I came here a handful of times during their 3-week soft opening and then bought a Groupon and some other promotional rides, and I have thoroughly enjoyed riding here. Just like other CycleBars I've been to, shoes are always complimentary and they have easy to use lockers to safeguard your stuff. The teachers are tough but motivating, and I can force myself to go all out for a good playlist if I know I only have to do it for 45 minutes. They have reserved parking in the retail parking section of the parking garage that they share with the adjoining apartments. Parking can sometimes be tight but there is a little bit of street parking in a pinch behind the building. read more

Summary: Fun workout with great calorie burn but watch your credit card. Pros: Cycle Bar is a tremendous spin workout that gives back as much as you put in. I went for over a month and saw results in my fitness and also my motivation for working out. It's hard to find something that gets you to the gym (or studio in this case) after a long day of work. The instructors are friendly, approachable and make you feel welcome. Cons: I signed up for one month and did NOT sign for a reoccurring contract. However, to my surprise I was billed for another month (without a receipt or any word) at $128. Then the next day my card received another $128 charge. The only reason I even knew was because I just happened to be checking my card's statement. I had to call the store 3 times and send two emails before the charges were resolved. The excuse was that they had switched payment processors therefore I had been double charged, even though I never authorized the first charge either. read more

VIP service all around. I can pick classes based on how much I want my ass kicked. Super fun and nothing like a typical gym class. Worth the premium pricing. May even get my own shoes. read more

This is my first cycle studio, so I was a little intimidated, but the staff is amazing. They welcome you right away and help you figure everything out... even how the get the right settings on the bike. I will say I have gone to a few classes with different instructors but no one matched Monica, so I would definitely suggest her for your first ride; you will definitely want to keep coming back. read more

I've been going to Cycle Bar for about a month and a half now, and wow. From the first day I first started attending, the customer service at this location really blows you out of the water. They have great parking, offer shoe shoes, and provide you with a cute water bottle that I always carry to class with me. The bathrooms are pristine, stocked with products and showers in case you need to use them. The classes are exciting, and challenging-- my favorite are the themed classes ("The Evolution of Beyonce" is coming up and I couldn't be more excited. I recently signed up for a unlimited monthly membership to encourage myself to workout, and they even had the memberships on sale for a discounted rate! All in all, for the service, experience, and atmosphere it's definitely well worth what you're getting for the money. read more

Update: I still enjoy Cyclebar but am not sure how long I will continue going. I am very disappointed they changed the early morning weekend classes to Performance and Endurance. I can only do the 8:45 am class most weekends and am not a fan of the competitive Performance style class. Also one of the instructors is not enjoyable as she screams/yells too much during class and unfortunately she seems to be teaching most sessions now. I like the motivation that the other instructors give but the screaming from this specific one is a huge turn off. Otherwise, Kat, Monica, and Courtney are great! Original: Tried the classes during the free class blast and ended up signing up for a membership. The length of the classes at 45 minutes is perfect and they have some really good instructors. I am Interested in trying the different classes mentioned, esp the Connect class once the schedule opens up from the blast weeks. The team that runs the studio are very pleasant and helpful. I just wish they had classes during the week a bit early such as 4:30 or 5:00 read more

I have tried all cycling studios in the DC/MD/VA area and I can say with absolute certainty that CycleBar blows all other places outside the water. The staff is incredibly friendly specifically Maurice and his beautiful wife. They do not nickel and dime you (everything is included in the ride: shoes, water bottle, snacks and sometimes even wine for happy hour) and you feel like family when you're there. The "ride" is only 45 minutes but boy do you get an amazing workout in that period of time, they even send you your stats after class. If you are interested in trying cycling, I promise you, this is the place to go. Every instructor is amazing but if you get a chance you have to sign up for Leigha class. She is so unbelievably inspiring. I take her Sunday class as a boost of good energy to start my week. Thank you CycleBar! Love y'all. read more

Hands down the best spin studio in the area! Welcoming staff, fantastic instructors, and great facilities.

This is the holy grail of cycling! All classes are themed and only 45 min. The class goes by very fast. Upon first signing up the team will walk you through everything and set you up with a bike and complimentary water bottle. Lockers, towels, cold towels and snacks, all included! Yas! read more

I have tried cyclebar for two sessions. On my first visit the manager helped me get set up with the locker, there is a USB port so your phone can charge while you are in class! The staff is great and the instructors are very well trained, great workout! The studio is very clean and spacious. The equipment is all new. I signed up for unlimited classes. I have tried other cycling studios in the DC/NoVa area and this is by far my favorite. read more

I'll just start off by saying this is my first and probably one of the only few yelp reviews I will ever write... but this place is totally worth my time. Hands down the best fitness studio I've ever been a part of with the most enjoyable classes I've experienced. I've been a member for almost a year now and haven't had one single instructor that I didn't love... they're all so full of energy and do an awesome job at getting the class pumped and motivated. The staff members are always super nice and welcoming, the studio is in pristine condition and always clean, and they offer free bananas and cold towels after class!! I was hesitant at first to purchase any sort of package because of the pretty steep prices, but in my opinion it's worth every single penny. read more
