I imagine if you are here looking for reviews then you aren't entirely sure what CycleBar is and would like a little more info about it before trying it out, OR you know what CycleBar is and want to see if this is a quality location before dropping in.
If you have no idea what CycleBar is, think indoor cycling, awesome playlist, and a party, but with burning a crap ton of calories in the process. I was familiar with indoor cycling classes before I went, so clipping in and out of pedals, changing resistance and speed, etc. was not that big of an adjustment. Having my bike reserved was a nice touch, meaning, I didn't have to fight for a spot when I got there. Tossed all my stuff into a locker, grabbed a pair of shoes from up front, and clipped in. They even provided a clean sweat towel.
Dudes: You might see mostly women taking these classes and while that is probably true, that certainly doesn't mean this is a workout only for women. These classes can kick your butt and will also work your entire body. Don't dismiss this as just for ladies.
I have seen a complaint about the music being too loud. I am an old fart and when I walked in the first time, it was difficult for me to hear all of the commands from the instructors at first. This is just something you get used to and it doesn't take long at all. Also, I have come to really love the loud music and all the thought that goes into the playlists. It helps take me away from my day, my worries, and stress. I feel like I am in a different world and have come to look forward to this so much.
If you are familiar with CycleBar and want to know if this location is legit or not, I would challenge you to drop in on any class and not enjoy yourself. I have even been told by others that they hate it when they go back to their hometown because their CycleBar doesn't push them as hard as this one and that everyone here feels more like family. I was instantly welcomed and felt like part of their family right off the bat. You cannot come or go without something greeting you or thanking you for coming in. The place is always clean.
There is always some challenge happening, some rider they are recognizing or supporting, or some milestone being achieved. It's one of the few places that talks about community but actually understands what it means, lives it out, and gives you one hell of a workout in the process. read more
