CycleBar Hillcrest is such an exciting addition to San Diego. During my first visit, the instructors greeted me with a smile, handed me a nice water bottle and clipped me into the bike. I was so impressed that they had my shoes readily available as soon as I checked in. Once the class started, it was an absolute party. It's like Vegas on a bike! The music even makes your forget that your booty is getting a major workout. For the grand finale you get a eucalyptus infused towel! Oh, and let's not forget the stats! After class everyone gets an email with their results and calorie burn. read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

Had a great first time ride there this morning!! Everything is nice and very welcoming.

this was my first indoor cycling experience and i'm so glad because it couldn't have been better! when you arrive they help you set up the bike, make sure you know how to get clipped in, etc. the music is great and not insanely loud (good thing). CARLY is incredible she does the ENTIRE class with you (which i have learned is not the norm) and she has a giant smile plastered on her face. she gave such a lovely beautiful motivational speech at the last class i went to as well. i spoke with her afterwards and shes a mom of two young kids and the fact she has so much energy is crazy to me... ANYWAY yes i love her and Cyclebar is my fav. much better than Sparkcycle IMO read more

Just took a 5am cycle class at an Amazing cycle studio!!! Super energetic cycle teacher especially for a 5am class :-). Sparkling clean & state of the art equipment. Awesome friendly encouraging & non-judgement vibe from all the staff & classmates. The lavender cold towel at the end of class really took this whole experience over the top in awesomeness. 10 years ago when I took spin classes at a gym I was in the best shape of my life. I believe Cyclebar is going to help me get back to my personal best again because this is a 10 out of 10 studio. read more

Love the classes, every instructor has their own vibe but they will all make sure you get a good workout in. I've been going to their studio for over 2 years, but extra love them for the outdoor classes this year to help minimize contact due to covid read more

Cyclebar is the first cycle studio I've been to so I'm comparing it to other group fitness classes I've attended. I purchased the 6 class pack for $65 for their new student rate. When I arrived at the studio the front desk girl asked if I had purchased the $10 intro class offer before. I told her this was my first time. She went ahead and refunded my 6 class pack and repurchased the intro class and the 6 pack so I was able to get 7 classes for $75 when I thought you could only have one or the other. I definitely appreciated her helping me get a better deal. She then gave me a tour of the studio. Its very clean and modern. The studio has showers, water, lockers, plus extras like hair ties and mints. You also have your shoes picked out and ready to go for you before you arrive in a cubby that corresponds with your bike number. The class was fantastic! There are people there to help you make sure you have your bike properly sized to your height and to help you clip in to the pedals. I've taken classes with a few different instructors. Keara is awesome - really positive energy. There are a lot of movements in her classes and it took me a couple classes to get the hang of it. I never felt awkward about it though as some people choose to modify and the actual class is dimly lit. Tolland is also my favorite, I loved the music in his class. I wish he had more availability. Overall I loved this studio. It was fun to mix up my workouts with something different plus getting emailed stats at the end is a huge motivator. Its a little expensive but I know I'm going to feel great and get an awesome workout which makes it worth the money. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! I have decided to change up my regular workout routine (which usually consists of Orangetheory, long runs and yoga classes) and my friend recommended I try one of these classes with her. They're on class pass which is great, 7 points for a 5:45pm class is pretty good so I signed up. You automatically get assigned a bike when you sign up through classpass, but you can log in to their website (an account is automatically created with your email once you sign up through classpass, so you just have to click "forgot password" and then sign in that way). Once you log in you will see the class you just signed up for - and can change your bike if you'd like. In my opinion, the location is pretty convenient, there's decent parking in the parking lot, and you can always run in and grab a few items at TJs or Ralphs after class, or a well deserved froyo at Fiji. The woman at check in was really nice, helped me get my shoes, showed me around, they have lockers you can set a code and actually lock, and towels. When I got into class the instructor came over and helped me setup my bike. So far, so good, not intimidating. I get on my bike and I can already feel it's more comfortable than other bikes I've been on in the past (again though, I don't attend a lot of spin classes). So next I notice the little computer screen, which tells you what "gear" you're on. This is a problem I've always had with spin classes in the past - the instructor says "turn it up" "turn it up a little more". How do I know I've turned it up enough? Or did I turn it up too much? Here, the instructor will let you know a range throughout class of where you should be, and that was SUPER helpful. Then there's TV screens at the front, where occasionally (not the whole class, which is nice) they will display some stats of how you're doing compared to the rest of the class. A few times each row of bikes (there are 3 rows) raced against each other, and there would be a little graphic on the TVs in the front, which I also really liked, just a fun way to mix things up. And for about 5 minutes during class, there are some arm weights, you sit up on your bike, and do a little arm workout. There's obviously times throughout class I didn't know what the F I was doing, I was way offbeat on the "push ups" and things like that, but you just laugh at yourself a little, and know you're still getting in an awesome workout! Now there are a few things I can only speak to the 1 class I've been to with Scott. Music - A+ He blasted motivating EDM the whole time. He was also pretty funny. At the end of class they come around with cold towels with essential oils (or something that smelled lovely!). Wow, this was the touch that just put me over the edge. Loved it, I will def be back. I'm even considering signing up for their 5 for $65 package, since I could see myself wanting to go more than my classpass allows. read more

I absolutely love CycleBar! From the moment you start up the stairs you smell their signature scent that immediately lets you know you are in for a treat! Everything is provided for you - shoes, water bottles, lockers, hair ties, bobby pins, towels (both dry in class and cold eucalyptus infused after etc. You can even buy an outfit of quality athletic wear if you want to show up after work and forgot your gym bag. You just show up! The staff is so helpful -- I had never been to any spin class before CycleBar and everyone helped me learn the ropes and now I am addicted. My personal favorite; Kelsey's Connect classes. Take a class and fall in love! read more

Highly recommend this studio, it is the best cycle studio in town. All the instructors are amazing but my personal favorite is Sarah as she is one of the best. read more

I recommend Joey or Audra, but every experience has been positive. They seem to do a good job cleaning and sanitizing for covid, and it's definitely a good workout! read more

Cyclebar Hillcrest is my happy place. I have never had a less than stellar experience at this studio. Each and every one of my 217 rides (and counting) has been motivating, exhilarating, challenging, and FUN! This is the first time I have ever genuinely enjoyed exercise. When I come to Cyclebar Hillcrest, I feel seen and valued. I feel strong and powerful and empowered. You can tell that the instructors love what they do. Every instructor has their own distinct style of moves and music. There are plenty of class times to choose from. Currently, all rides are outside. All safety precautions are in place to keep staff and riders safe and healthy. If you've never tried cycling classes, Cyclebar is the place to start. If you've tried cycle and didn't like it, it's because you didn't go to this studio. Try Cyclebar out! You will sweat. You will laugh. You will dance. And you'll come back for more. See you there! read more

CYCLEBAR - Outdoor class - Cycling Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

THE BEST OF THE BEST! I love Cycle Bar and I am so lucky that I found it! I am really into yoga and I wanted some add some cardio to my routine. My sister took me to Cycle Bar for Scott's class and afterwards I was pretty much like, "TAKE MY MONEY!". It is such an incredible studio, when you walk in anytime after 5pm the place is practically buzzing with positive energy. I previously did not enjoy taking spin classes. However, cycle bar has made the perfect spin class into science! They include amazing music and dance moves that take you out of your head and into the moment. Ever since my very first class, I have not missed a single week and have been back 8 times since I've joined! I can't say enough good things about this studio. I highly recommend to anyone looking to supercharge their workout! read more

I will start off this review saying the facilities CycleBar offers are nice and on-par with most of the facilities at other spin studios (i.e. lockers, showers, water dispensers, etc). As an experienced spinner, the ride (I took their classic ride which seems to be the most popular one on the schedule) is rather disappointing for several reasons: -you don't ride to the beat of the music -if you want inspirational/motivational sayings from the instructor, which is now pretty common for most boutique spin classes, you wont get it here. All my instructor said was "go go go go!" and "keep moving" -the instructor kept switching which foot he was leading with, without telling the class what foot to lead with. This made it difficult when doing moves, such as push ups or elbow drops, when these moves should be synchronized to the dominant pedal stroke. -at this price point, I feel that the instructors should be leading with their foot opposite to the class, so from the class perspective, the instructor is their mirror. Again most spin studios in this price range (Pure Cycle, Sparkcycle, Rush Cycle) train their instructors to lead with their left foot. -the instructor was off many times when counting. The instructor would tell us to do jumps for 8 seconds, and they would last 16 seconds. -if you you like dance moves on a bike, you hardly get that here. The only move we did was elbow drops & push ups. All in all, I feel CycleBar classes feel very similar to 24 hour fitness or LA fitness spin classes. The classes here are definitely geared toward "beginner" spinners and are styled more like interval rides. read more

Cyclebar is definitely one of my favorite spin studios that I've tried out. It's super clean- the staff are friendly and the classes themselves will make you feel accomplished - especially when seeing the pool of sweat that you've accumulated. Unlike other studios, CycleBar makes sure to crank the AC and fans. The best feeling is knowing that there's an ice cold eucalyptus towel waiting for you at the end of your ride. Do yourself a favor and get to CycleBar and spin your booty off :) read more

Cyclebar is awesome! It feels super luxurious with their water on tap, self check in iPad system, and eucalyptus-scented cold towels. I tried out the free full classes during their opening weeks and I fell in love with this place! I found out about it through my friend, who went here with a group of her friends. Signing up is simple and there are many different time slots to fit your schedule. There are showers available if you need to freshen up before work or dinner. The workouts really get you sweating. Not only are you working your legs, your whole body gets worked out. There are 4 & 6 LB weight bars that work out your upper body as well.. oh man, those hurt so good! I took a free Intro to CycleBar with Leah, and it was so helpful! She taught us all of the techniques of spinning. After completing the intro class, we were offered to take a full cycling class that same evening. Leah's energy is so motivating and contagious! She hit me in the feels with "Listen to Your Heart" and all of her other song choices were great. Some things I love about Cyclebar: -Stats to help you track your progress -Eucalyptus-scented towels at the end of the workout -Extra hair ties, bobby pins, q-tips, etc -Friendly staff -Water on tap -The lighting in the studio -Shoes ready for you in a designated cubby I highly recommend CycleBar if you're looking to take some spinning classes. I've been to Sparkcycle and regular spinning classes at my gym, but they're not as good as CycleBar. The only thing that would get me is the cost. But it's definitely worth it to treat and invest in your body and health! read more

I've been going to Cyclebar Hillcrest since I've moved here 3.5 yrs ago. The instructors are awesome, they always play good music, and everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend going. Jennifer D read more

Cycle bar is the best cardio workout. Love Tori ,Chris ,Sara & Helen. I feel supported in my fitness goals. Vonnie

Do I come to this place every week knowing it's going to kick my behind? Yes. Does my behind thank me every time? Absolutely! The staff is amazing! The workout is great! The music? APPROVED (and constantly improving my own playlist). And the place is CLEAN. I've been to cycling studios where cleanliness was an issue, especially with the towels. But this place is on top of it. Staff is very attentive to new riders and makes it easy to join, even if you've never ridden so much as a tricycle before. read more

When you want to ride a bike, not go anywhere, see a leaderboard of your performance, and have all the amenities that some fitness gyms don't even offer, this is a place for you. Pros: Brand new Schwinn Spin bikes, each with a console. Very clean facility and the spin room looks like a stage from TEDTalks. Things from spin shoes, towels, some fruit, and lockers are all provided for you. Performance leaderboard is displayed on a couple of monitors in the front (gives a little competitive and gamer push). Instructors and staff are great, personable, and keeps the motivation high... even if you don't feel like it. Haha. Cons: The locker area gets really tight/cramped during transition times between classes. Parking area gets busy, especially evenings and weekends. Strictly a spin class facility, no other type of fitness equipment here (which can be a negative for some, but not really for others). Cyclebar is awesome. If you like/love spin classes, this group is a great place to be part of. The venue is great because it is in the HUB between North Park and Hillcrest, where Ralph's is located. So after you finish your workout, you have a variety of places to eat a good post-workout meals. This part isn't necessary but it does help, you can create a profile on their website, which is where you can reserve spots for specific classes, make a user name that can be displayed on the leaderboard during a class, have a record of how you performed during a spin session, and where you can make payments. You do not need to have an online profile, and you can definitely do all the reservations and payments at the front desk, it is just cool and convenient that you are able to do this online. The facility itself is upstairs. I know, imagine walking down steps after a spin class where most riders' legs are all weak and wobbly, yeah. Always a good time. Inside you are greeted by the staff and the front desk, there is a wall cubby full of spin bike shoes that the staff organizes specifically for the riders' upcoming class. They got everything sorted out for all their patrons, which is amazing. I have done a lot of spin classes, and for a place to provide spin shoes, let alone have it organized in a specific cubby numbered with your bike number, talk about "going the extra mile" for their guest. Down the hall from the front desk area there are 2 individual bathrooms and 2 individual shower rooms which you do not have to bring a towel. They provide towels to use for your workout, a cold towel after you finish your workout, and a shower towel when you need to shower. The waiting/locker has the water station that provides room temp, cold, and ice water to refill your bottles. There is a countertop that has small fruits (apples and/or bananas) for you post workout. The lockers are the backpack size lockers that doesn't require a personal lockpad. It is the ones where you pick a 4-number combination to lock it. The spin room is setup like a stage with audience seating, but instead of seats its spin bikes. There are 3 rows, arched around the instructors bike in the middle of the stage. The lighting makes it look like you are about to sit in on a show cause the audience seating area is dim, but the spot light is on the stage. There are 2 big TV monitors on the front wall on both side of the instructor and there is a "DJ" booth on the other end of the room. The spin bike consoles and the class display/leaderboard is a BIG selling point for me (other than all the services and amenities they offer). The instructor can post up a real-time display of all the participates in the class and how they are doing. It can display things like how much power you produced, what was your highest RPM, and how many calories you burned. The staff at Cyclebar is great. Instructors are energetic, motivating, and enthusiastic. Things you need to get a class of people who are paying to "torture" themselves to keep moving and pushing themselves. The staff are all nice, welcoming, and quick to assist those with questions or that have a problem. So it is worth it? Only if you are really into cycling/biking or that is the only thing you want to do. From comparing spin classes from other general fitness places (i.e. 24hr Fitness, LA Fitness), these spin classes are at another level because of all the technology and services it provides. One analogy I commonly use to describe very fancy and/or highly accommodating fitness places is this: Cyclebar is like District 1 in the Hunger Games. read more

I work an 8am-5pm corporate job and was having a hard time sticking to any kind of work out routine until I found this place. I LOVE that there are two class options after work (5:45pm and 6:50pm). There are even 6am, 7am, and 12pm classes I can squeeze in if I'm working from home. You have to cancel 12 hours ahead of time or else you get a $10 penalty fee, which has kept me accountable. I have had the unlimited rides per month membership for a couple months, and I absolutely love it. I love the sense of community, as I have gotten to know most of the instructors and receptionists. When I first started, I did have a sore butt but it went away after a couple of weeks. I would recommend arriving at the parking lot 30 minutes before class as parking can be tricky, giving you enough time to find parking, get set up, fill up your water or use the bathroom before class. Shoes, lockers, and towels are provided. You only need to bring a water bottle. If you shower, I would suggest bringing your own shampoo, face wash, and soap, as the dispensers run out. read more

I have taken two cycle classes here. Man is it intense. They make it dark and the music and instuctors really motivate you. You will sweat hard here which is a good thing. There are lockers for you to put your stuff into. They give you the shoes and a cyclebar water bottle. They have a water pour thing to get either room temperature or cold water. They help you clip in if you not know how which is a plus. When you reserve online you get to pick your bike and see where others are located at. They track your fitness. They also show you and race against others in the class. At the end of the class they pass out eucalyptus ice cold towels. They smell and feel good. At the end of the class they had beers and oranges. The 2nd class i went to had nutrition bars and bananas. Always good to get a snack. Parking kind of sucks at this locatio. Very bust. They have showers and even things to do your hair aka hair dryer. read more

BRAVO !!! This is a serious Spin Studio geared towards the beginner and will challenge the experienced rider as well.. I have taken 3 classes thanks to the intro offer Bob owner has offered us... Carley offered a very challenging class with a high energy vibe, and this mornings 7 am class offered up instructor Dylan who gave us a early morning energized lift with a music mix to take your mind off the pain your enduring LOL .. Thanks also to mgr. Leah for the intro 99 special that I took advantage of !! Keep up the great work, vibe and classes... David B. PS. won a great CycleBar Bag today !!! read more

I love cycle bar so much! This place has changed my life! I started out, out of shape and out of breath and now I leave every class empowered. I have gone to every other cycle studio in town including soul cycle and this place is best! They have a good intro class package to get you going that won't break the bank. First class is $10! My favorite instructor is Tori!!! Thanks you cycle bar for coming to San Diego! read more

The place to be for a workout so tough it'll leave your legs feeling like jello....in the best way possible of course!! Will be telling everyone I know to jump on a bike and give them a chance read more

What a great experience! I have taken classes as my small gym so I was a smidge apprehensive about the clip on shoes and theater style setting but it was an epic experience!! The sign up online was easy and I arrived early (about 30 minutes) to make sure I knew what was up. The front desk clerk was absolutely charming and made sure I understood how to check in, where my shoes were and gave me a cute new CycleBar water bottle (not filled but there was a nice hydration station.) She explained the lockers to me and then made sure that I knew of the current specials if I chose to come back. I placed my items in the locker - very clean and easy to use - and easily put on the shoes which fit perfect and were comfy. The instructor, Keara, came out and greeted me, walked me to my reserved spot and made sure I was comfy on my bike and clipped me in. She made me feel very welcome and was very engaging. The theater was gorgeous with an amazing sound system and videos playing. It was so fun!!!!!! There was even a nicely folded towel in the rack for me. The class was energetic, fun, motivating and amazing. I felt included yet never singled out, strong and exhilarated. The class was challenging and at the end a cute young woman came around and passed out icy cold, peppermint infused towels. Amazing. I am just visiting the area but I'm going back tomorrow and again at the end of the month. How I wish this was near my own home!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!! read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - San Diego, California

I like the class but hate their policies! I bought a couple classes so my card was already on file on the app. I was looking up different packages, weighing my options, and accidentally signed up for a monthly package because my card was on file. It didn't ask for a confirmation, just charged it, then after word said if you want to cancel you have to write a written notice to the studio 30 days ahead. It only said that AFTER I accidentally signed up. You cannot lock someone in a contract and give them the terms AFTER they signed. I couldn't even make it to all the classes because I had a death in my family and still have a demanding work schedule. I'm grieving and I ended up losing my wallet so I lost the card attached to my account. I got a call from them today while I was busy at work about billing. I don't even want to go back to this studio because of this when things ease up. And I don't want to be charged for another month that I haven't even made it to! I know this is going to be an uphill battle as it already is. Like please cut me some slack and cancel my account so I can cope in peace. read more

I used to be a dedicated spin class attendee a few years back, but I had fallen out of love with it when I left my former studio. After trying a spin class here and there, I figured I wouldn't find another studio that met my (apparently) high standard. When I heard CycleBar was coming to my 'hood, I was excited. I'd heard great things about the brand, so I was super happy to give the Hillcrest studio a shot. Well, it took me one class with Scott to realize: THIS. WAS. THE. REAL. DEAL. CycleBar is well appointed with great bikes and technology, and I love the stadium-style set-up-- it's just the layout that I love. The teachers have control over the music, leaderboard, and lighting, which makes each class unique-- a different vibe from each class and teacher. Plus, this studio has amenities that you don't typically see at other San Diego studios: lockers (no padlock required), showers, refreshing snacks post-class, and little extras, like bobby pins, mints, and hair ties. So, if you are looking for a cycling studio to get your daily sweat or a low-impact (but high intensity) workout to supplement your other activities, you may have just found it. read more

Thank you Veronica and Lisa! They went out of their way to surprise my girlfriend on her birthday by decorating her bike and even giving her a gift. You guys are amazing! I think i'm going to have to join her at CycleBar :) read more

Loved doing outdoor group classes. Just perfect!

4 stars for my initial impression. I bought a Groupon pack to try this place out and scheduled my free intro class for today (techniques and how to clip-in etc.). Upon your arrival someone shows you around, leads you to your (free) reserved clip-in cycling shoes, and gives you a nice Cyclebar water bottle. You can set your own combo on a fairly large locker and secure all your stuff nicely. The facility is very new so the inside is really nice. They have chilled and room temp water on tap, along with a fridge full of beer (haha). There were free snacks like kind bars and bananas in the community room, where you wait for your class to begin. When the class before me got out, I noticed this huge rush of fresh smelling eucalyptus come out with the people (thank god, so much better than B.O.)! This is because they bring you cold, wet, eucalyptus-misted towels at the end of each session, to wipe the sweat off your face and freshen up! Love! Those towels are life! They also have showers and basic amenities like hair dryers etc, in case you're trying to catch a class before work or need to go do something right afterward. SUPER CONVENIENT! I wish more boutique studios would follow their lead here. Dylan was my intro instructor today and he was super fun, knowledgable and helpful. He was really patient with all the clip-in newbies, too. I can't wait to take a regular class with him! His shorter intro class had me sweating!!!! The class was really fun and totally a club like atmosphere with super loud music and low or no lights - flashbacks to being 21 hit me, that's for sure. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was because the gentleman who checked me in seemed really frazzled and too busy to be able to assist new customers. Not necessarily his fault but it seemed like the staffing was not balanced or something. For example, he stated that there were class specials for newbies and that we would be able to go to another free full class, but was too busy to give details and was doing something at the end of our class (no one was up front) so everyone just left without the extra deets. I think they might have been doing some special event though so it might have been an anomaly. Parking can be a pain on weekends because it's in the hub (Trader Joe's) shopping center. Add like 10-15 min extra to your commute because of this or else you'll freak out last minute and probably be late. read more

I was so disappointed that I had to miss the Elite event here, because I'm truly looking to join a spinning gym. So I took one of their free intro classes! The class itself, the equipment, and the instructor, were fantastic--5 stars. It's in the same complex as the Trader Joes in Hillcrest. That's good, because you have a large parking lot right there. Although it's busy, you can usually find a spot SOMEwhere. So, you reserve class online. Online, you can choose which seat in the class you want (awesome!!) and give your shoe size. When you show up, you check in easily with an iPad and your shoes are waiting for you--very cool!! There's water in case you forget it (both chilled and room temp--also amazing because I don't like ice-cold water!) The staff was super welcoming and friendly. Anyway, there is a locker area where you can put your stuff away easily. In the cycling room, a towel is waiting for you on each bike. The instructor helps you click your shoes into the bike an adjust the seat and stuff. Finally, the class starts. The instructor, Tori, was just perfect. Tons of energy, but not annoyingly so :) If you have never done a class like this before, there is dance/hiphop/pop music playing and the lighting changes a lot--sometimes it's super dark (which I love) and other times it's kinda red....anyway, the beat of the music and lighting sorta helps you get through the tedium of peddling. I wasn't a huuuge fan of the music, but like I said easier...I'm old. :) It would be impossible to choose tunes everyone liked. I was fine with it, but did think about how pumped I'd get with with some electronic music or 80s dance tunes. Tori did say that she takes requests that could get played in future classes, so that's cool. Imagine Blue Monday by New Order or Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Going off on a tangent here..... There is also a leaderboard that shows who...like...has the most power? Or something? I thought I would hate the leaderboard but it truly did make you want to pedal harder. There was even a part where random teams were formed and you saw the teams up on the screen, then you had 30 secs or something to pedal super fast and see which team won. It was fun and I did get sucked in. :) The leaderboard was used sparingly---just enough. Overall, I loved the class. It was just long enough and difficult enough, and of course you can push yourself super hard if you want to. I was the weakest in the class but it didn't matter--you don't feel bad about it or anything. Negatives... The only reason I wish I could do a 4.5 star is the showering facilities. There are only 2 showers for all the people. And there is no "getting ready" area. Like you can't pop out of the shower in a towel, allowing the next person to shower, and then finish getting ready somewhere else. Because the "locker room" area is unisex, it's super un-private and very out in the open. Soooo what I'm getting at is that with only 2 showers, and with people having to completely get ready inside the shower room (brush your wet hair, put your clothes on, etc) it means an even longer wait time for those showers. If you are in a time crunch and need to shower before getting back to work after a lunch break, this will be an issue. That said, I really enjoyed my class and am thinking of buying a class package! Thanks Yelp for introducing me to this place. read more

Cyclebar is so fun! And will kick your butt. It's location is in the heart of Hillcrest, so be sure to arrive early to get parking if you come during peak hours! It's located in the Hub--so good! The space smells REALLY good and is beautiful, fun, and has a lot of energy. When you walk in, you're greeted by staff and the apparel as well as a check-in station and your cycling shoes! You sign up online and create an account and can select if you need shoes and want to be on the leaderboard when they have it up during class, as well as select your class and bike. AND they have hair ties/bobby pins which is a lifesaver to long-haired people who don't have one! SO thoughtful! As you continue going in, there are bathrooms, showers, and the lockers/common area. The lockers are large and easy to use, and they have a water dispenser with chilled and room-temperature water. Next up: the cycling room. The room is REALLY cool and has amphitheater style rows. It has fans and the lighting is just great! It's like Club Cyclebar in there and I'm into it. They play music before the playlist for class starts, too, and I just like how it sets the tone. The staff help people adjust their bikes and get your bike shoes clipped in, and soon enough you're ready to start! Each instructor has their own style, etc. I have liked everyone so far! They all have different personalities, etc, so find your people that you sync with and get rolling. I gotta say, Leah is my fave but everyone is great! They're encouraging and motivating and are really helpful for form and how to appropriately push yourself. The class is a combination of sprints/hill climbs/arm workout/core stability--it's honestly really full body and TOUGH. It is appropriate for all fitness levels--I am a regular exerciser but would say I am in moderate shape and this class is so fun and kicks my butt. My friend is a triathlete and this class kicked his butt. I have friends who don't really exercise--it kicked their butt. We all had an amazing time, though! The workouts are challenging but manageable and you are given certain guidelines for how you should be feeling/how fast you may want to be going/what resistance to aim for and it's really helpful! Cyclebar is VERY fun and REALLY well done. The facility is gorgeous, the staff are incredible, the classes are fun and have enough variety to be always new and exciting and challenging. After class, they hand out cold eucalyptus towels that are amazing, and there's drinks/food outside! It encourages community and teamwork as well as personal growth. I'm totally sold! read more

To say that I am in love with CycleBar is an understatement! Everything about this place is amazing (the staff, the bikes,the facilities, the atmosphere,the location, etc.)! I took the plunge and signed up for their Grand Opening special, so basically, we're in a committed relationship now. I've been to other indoor cycling classes in the area (Sparkcycle & Pure) and have always wanted to sign-up for a monthly membership -- boy, am I glad I waited until CycleBar came around! The way you can see your CycleStats the whole time lets you know how hard you are working and/or how much harder you NEED to work! Also, I love the way the instructors let you know around what RPM's/resistance you should be at. Then, after class, your stats get emailed to you (along with the playlist you heard in class)! So happy to add this to my weekly workout schedule -- I already get sad on the days I don't have CyceBar! **Shout out to Leah for kickin' a$$ and being insanely awesome! :) read more

I went to my first introductory class last weekend as part of a BumbleBFF and WOW! It was so much fun! I got to meet so many awesome girls and get a good sweat in! Even though it wasn't a full class, the instructor Kelsey made us work our booties off! I can't wait to go back as a group or by myself! read more

I'm visiting from Atlanta and needed to get a good workout, CycleBar did not disappoint. Thanks for a killer call Marc!

I love the environment and the fun classes! It's one of my favorite ways to wind down!

I usually go to soul cycle in La Jolla (next to my work) on Wednesday evenings. Monday's are my day off and I generally go hiking.... well this last Monday was raining. Rather than drive all the way up to La Jolla to my usual indoor studio, I thought I'd try Cyclebar because it's closer to my home. And there was Tori!! I love Toris class so much, now I have to go at least every Monday. Wish she taught Wednesday evenings too because now I love cyclebar so much I think I'm going to switch my Wednesday night from Soul cycle to cycle bar! read more

I have been coming to cyclebar for over 6 months and have loved it! There are plenty of class options and the instructors are all motivating. The studio is clean and spacious. Ive never had any issues with parking. Taeok is by far my favorite. He always motivates me to push harder and is so much fun. If you have a chance definitely try his classes! read more

Cycle bar is the best cycle studio I have been to in my history of indoor cycling (15+ years)! Everything from the studio to the service and of course the instructors is top notch. From the moment you walk in they have a lovely aroma that characterizes the studio. There are iPads so that you can check in on your own and remind you which seat you chose while your shoes waiting in the corresponding cubby hole. Amenities include lockers, showers (with clean towels provided) and people to assist you to set up your bike if needed. The best thing in my opinion is that they often have theme rides and special events - like Happy Hour on Friday eve (drinks included) and Sunday brunch. The unique thing that sets them apart from most studios is that there is a personal monitor for your cycle statistics. You really get a personalized experience and can track your own progress. I LOVE CycleBar! read more

I've been a regular at cyclebar for almost 9 months now, and joining was one of the best decisions I've made since moving to SD. Everyone is so welcoming, and the energy is amazing. Each instructor is incredible- I can't even pick a favorite! Highly recommend! Also the cold eucalyptus towel at the end of your ride is always the best reward! read more
