I took a ride at Rush Cycle in Encinitas last weekend with a friend of mine and it dawned on me that it didn't at all live up to any of my experiences at CycleBar. There's so much to say about CycleBar but what makes CycleBar unique is that it's based on making you live and enjoy every moment during every minute of class and reminds you to do the same even outside of the classes. It's the fact that each class, whether it's a connect class (where you cover the monitors) actually makes you feel something instead of just going through the motion of riding a bike. I can't say enough about the instructors there and every time I go to their classes, it's me who feels lucky that they take the time to get to know you and all of them make you feel like you're actually a part of something. Some instructors even encourage song requests but it's also a true fact that CycleBar brings so much value in bringing the San Elijo and the Carlsbad communities together. I feel like I know more people in my community than in the 5 years I've lived in San Elijo and it's thanks to CycleBar. Great studio, with showers and is always a clean facility. CycleBar is the highlight of my day, every single day and I feel very proud to be a member and hope that CycleBar stays open for a very long time, because it definitely "sparks joy" in my life. Also, great customer service! It's nice to ride in a safe environment, where no one is judging you and it's a fun atmosphere. I leave CycleBar every day feeling happy and smiling and it's all thanks to CycleBar and the terrific and fabulous instructors! read more

CYCLEBAR - I took Kelly's class this morning - probably my 75th class with her - and it was a Mumford vs Florence theme ride! - Cycling Classes Near Me - San Marcos, California

Schedule is extremely limited and membership is overpriced for how little you get. I must say that customer service is also poor. They all seem burned out and apathetic. It often takes Kelly, the older lady who works there, 3 or more days to return messages if she bothers to get back to you at all. General vibe is that they just want your money and for you to leave them alone. The dwindling class sizes are reflective of this so I can't see them being in business much longer. The studio was very nice and clean when they first opened but now it has developed a terrible smell. I'm told it's a signature brand of air fresher they use to cover up the sweaty body odor. The towels they provide also have a harsh chemical smell. None of this seems healthy and makes my lungs burn when I exercise. What is most frustrating is that they keep cancelling classes. It makes it really hard to develop a routine when every class I take gets cancelled or the teacher quits. You can also count on them cancelling classes for every holiday, plus all the days before and after each holiday or when the power is out ... or for any other reason that they just feel like cancelling class. For the same membership cost of $99 a month you can join any other full service fitness center to get unlimited cycle classes plus Yoga, Pilates and a full gym so it's not a good value for me to pay for something that no longer fits my schedule. I think every time they cancel classes however they should pro-rate your membership fee. They charge you a fee if you don't show for class so they should reciprocate whenever they cancel or when your bike doesn't work or when the class stats malfunction etc. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Cyclebar San Elijo Hills! The studio appeals to people of all ages and ability levels. Cyclebar is a very clean facility equipped with top notch spin bikes that make the ride very enjoyable. Your stats are emailed out at the end of each class to track your progress along with the playlist from each class. Each class offers a unique riding experience and the classes are taught by high energy instructors who are very passionate about what they do. The different instructors all have their own personal flare that makes each ride different from the next. They do an amazing job of motivating and inspiring the riders through their well planned out playlists. They also go out of their way to get to know their riders, which is so cool! Cyclebar also does a great job of making each class a full body workout by incorporating time for arms and adding in upper body choreography. However, Cyclebar is so much more than just a GREAT workout. Each class offers a time for self reflection that will leave you with a smile on your face at the end of each 45 min class. The owners, Kelly and Keith, go above and beyond to make sure that each rider feels welcome at cyclebar. They do a great job of welcoming first time riders and making them feel apart of the cyclebar family. They really care about their clients! I've been to a number of different spin studios, but nothing compares to the feeling at CycleBar SEH. Cyclebar San Elijo Hills has been a great addition to the community! This place will keep you wanting more!! :) read more

What an amazing experience! From the minute you walk in until your workout is finished and the staff hand you an Eucalyptus scented and refreshing washcloth you feel pampered. This is a high end fitness studio and you can tell Kelly & Keith and their staff truly care about your workout. Our community is blessed to have Kelly & Keith and their talented crew to keep us in shape! read more

I love being part of the Cyclebar SEH community! Not only does Cyclebar provide an amazing workout, it's also a place run by great people, who really care about the local community. I'm addicted to their fun, lively classes, and recommended it to anyone looking for an endorphin inducing workout! read more

This place is great! Great staff and studio! My sister and I went and we were super wiped out after lol. We showed up after booking the first week special and we were graciously greeted and shown around the studio by what I assume was an owner/manager. Our instructor was awesome and helped us out with the bikes because we both had never tried spin before. It was an intense class for sure! Highly recommend if you are into spin :) read more

I've never found a cycle studio better than this one! I absolutely love it, Kelly (one of the owners) is the kindest lady I have met. Not to mention she cares about everyone of her members. Tollands class is my absolute favorite, and has the best music by far. Absolutely love the studio and the workouts I would recommend it to everyone. read more

Great spin studio in San Elijo Hills. All the instructors are challenging and offer a good variety of style and music choices to keep you from getting bored. It has all the basics you'd expect from a boutique studio - online booking, lockers, eucalyptus towels, and shoes are included in the price. If you haven't been, it's worth a try. If you've been to Soul Cycle, Flywheel, etc. same style classes, which San Diego county was lacking for so long. read more

Killer spinning studio with all the delightful amenities! Chilled essential oil towels to greet you after your class ends - Green juices to grab and enjoy - a coffee machine - complimentary spin shoes....these little touches truly elevate a riders experience! The owner is also so clearly passionately about her facility and truly cares about the quality represented. As far as programs go, they have a full length traditional cycle style & and more "unplugged" quicker ride session. The instructor led a great ride and the music was on point! Wish I lived local - is totally be a regular! read more

Beautiful studio! This team has worked SO hard to open this studio, and it shows. Had an amazing ride with Ashley this week. LOVE the new bikes and the set up of the studio. If you are looking for a great workout/ride, friendly staff, and a great community, look no further! read more

This studio is the perfect balance of fancy and the warm feel of a family run business. As a business owner myself, I appreciate details and great customer service. Every class has great music (I absolutely love EDM) and instructors are all so heartfelt and motivating. I drive over 160 miles a day and no matter how tired I am, there is always great energy in the classes to get me pumped. It is the best way to get me moving, reflect, and better myself physically and mentally. I love that it's so easy to reserve classes online and they have the shoes ready for you in a cubby when you get there. The studio is well thought out with lockers, water, and towels to just make the visit so streamline. You definitely get what you pay for. read more

I love this boutique spin studio in San Elijo Hills, there is honestly nothing I can say bad about the CycleBar except for maybe the locker area space when classes get out can be hectic, but if you anticipate the rush or wait your turn it is a non issue. Where do I start with all of the great things: 1) First, The design of the studio is just so clean and modern, right down to every little detail was thought out. The front desk people were so friendly and very helpful. Actually walked me around and showed me the studio. 2) I took the second grand opening class with Lindsay Whom is a bad ass with her own personal spin style which made the class unforgettable. Her song choice was always bumping, and I love how it feels like a club the second you step in, I learn all my new songs at spin class. 3) Everyone who works there makes you feel comfortable and like family when you are there, there are no snobby people who think they are too good for you there. 4) Those have to be the nicest bikes I have ever seen and you don't have to pay for shoes....bonus points. 5) I LOVE THEIR RETAIL, I got myself a new outfit the fashion is on point, and is a real detriment to my wallet. 6) All of their the toiletries are amazing. And there are hair dryers, hairspray and hair ties everything you could possibly need, and is just so nice not having to lug all this stuff with you. 7) There are countless other reasons, and I could go on for days, but I will just leave it as, if you have never gone...SIGN UP NOW! You will not regret it! I absolutely look forward to going back. EVEN BETTER NO CONTRACT! NO SALES PITCH! read more

Not only is this an AMAZING workout, but it's also my own dance party! LOL. The classes have such fun energy, awesome music, and such motivating instructors. The studio is always clean, the bikes are top notch, and the room is the perfect temperature. I am definitely obsessed. There is no other workout for me. This is my second home :) read more

Just completed my trial week for only $29. Tried 4 classes and they all rocked!! I immediately signed up for the 8 classes a month membership, and the $29 was even discounted from the first month! Overall I find the prices really reasonable for the quality of the studio and classes. They have EVERYTHING you need! Your shoes are included and ready in your size in the cubby with your bike #. They give you a free bottle on your first class that you can fill with the filtered cold water station. And towels are waiting in your bike. They even have cold eucalyptus towels for you when you finish your ride! Instructors are great, love the loud fun music. Excited about this new spot! Finally quality spin in the area!!! read more

I had never done anything like this before and I just recently went to my very first class. It was just after 5am and everyone there was so welcoming. The brand new facility looked awesome. I got my shoes, got adjusted on my bike and was ready to go. Our instructor Jeannine was amazing! Firstly because she is in incredible shape and I want to be her, but also because she was so motivating. And I don't mean just "go, go, go!" But while riding she acknowledged that for some of us, it was our first time and she opened up about how she first got into fitness. I've struggled with getting back into shape since having my son but I think I've found my go-to place. I highly recommend joining this amazing group of people! read more

Not even disappointed!- My 3rd Cycle and the staff and instructors has been nothing but amazing. From the moment you walk in everyone greets you with a smile. One of the staff will always be ready to show you around the studio. One of the many things I love about the studio are the attentive and kind instructors! I've cycled with instructors Dana and Jeannine in the early AM classes and they have been nothing but kind and supportive. They show you how to set up and makes sure your posture and bike is set the right way. They even approach you after class by name and ask you how you feel and if there's anything else they can do to help you. I definitely feel the family vibe. You will never feel out of place. The music, the vibe, the bikes and their sincerity is absolute. I couldn't have asked for a better studio to attend my cycle classes at. I know I will achieve my goals because of all these little big things. Thank you CycleBar SEH for making me feel welcomed and accomplished everyday! read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - San Marcos, California

See all

As a road cyclist, I was looking forward to a good way to train without the time it takes to be out on the road. CycleBar is the perfect choice. High energy, well-trained instructors in a great environment. Monthly memberships are a great value considering how many classes are available. read more

I am hooked. I have never liked Spin classes- found them boring, monotonous. However, I tried CycleBar last week and I loved it. I am actually getting up at 4:40 in the morning to attend a 5:15 am class because I feel GREAT the rest of the day. Let me add, I'm normally a 9 or 10:00 am workout person. I've attended classes from three different instructors- each of them motivating and fun and tough! In addition to getting a phenomenal workout, the facility is clean and crisp and they take care of literally everything. No need for shoes- they provide them for free. Forgot your water bottle, no worries they have them for you. For heaven's sake I forgot my socks (remember I am getting up at 440 in the morning. It happens) for a nominal fee, I can get socks. However, the icing on the cake????? Cool, fresh eucalyptus scented towels upon exiting the class. read more

Really clean well-run place with amazing instructors and an awesome all-around vibe. The workouts are only 45 minutes, but with the way they are structured and the way the music, room/lighting, and group dynamic encourage you you will get all the exercise you need and leave thoroughly exhausted. This place has made a huge difference in my life in the short time I've been going. Can't recommend it highly enough. read more

I am addicted to CycleBar. I started cycling at my gym which I liked but then I tried this amazing place. It is so much better than the gym. The instructors are great and spend time teaching and motivating. I am so happy I joined. read more

This place is top notch! I've tried SoulCycle and CycleBar 100% does a better job. The first ride welcome was amazing - and all the classes have been great. The eucalyptus towel at the end is . Def a must try! read more

I was super nervous to start at CycleBar, having never done it before and envisioning loads of super fit 20 and 30 somethings leaving me in the dust. My experience has been the complete opposite, there are all ages in the classes and they encourage you to go at your own pace. All the instructors are super friendly. I recently enjoyed Tori's class for the first time and was impressed when she came over and introduced herself to me before class...and remembered my name after. If you're on the fence, give it a try! If I can do this anyone can!! read more

This place is a blast!! If you haven't gone yet you totally should. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. One day I was running late and the girls that helped me check in put all my stuff in a locker and even filled up my water so I could get on my bike in time! Who does that?? The instructors are ALL amazing. I've taken Jessalyn's class and she is so fun and motivating . The energy of the class and music makes working out fun. I like in San Elijo and it couldn't be more convenient! 45 minutes in and out and you'll feel amazing! read more

CYCLEBAR is amazing! The staff is wonderful, instructors are so motivating and the location is perfect! I'm new to spinning and everyone there made me feel so comfortable and that they were genuinely happy I was there. I'm so excited to have found a workout I enjoy and such a great place to be! read more

Love love going to Tori L. She has an amazing playlist and keeps you motivated all class. She was very personable and asked my name I felt so happy to be there. I love the private showers and of course the cold eucalyptus towels at the end. Can't wait for my next ride read more

I have never found a workout community that is as amazing as San Elijo Hills cyclebar! I've been a member since they opened and I still get so excited to come to every class! The workout is on another level - these instructors really know how to make you sweat! I've never had so much fun working out before. After every workout, I feel accomplished and proud. All of the instructors/employees take the time to know the members and I love being greeted by name when I come in the door. Everyone is so encouraging. The positive affirmations the instructors speak during class really stick with me throughout my week. The owners, Kelly and Keith are just amazing. You can tell that they love the studio and the work they've put into it shows! No matter what your fitness goals are, there is a place for you here! read more

My mom and I had been looking for a spin studio near my house for awhile. Glad we found this place. Great, staff and studio

I LOVE everything about Cycle Bar and can't say enough good things about it! It truly is my favorite place to workout! I joined Cyclebar in August 2018 and signed up for a membership without every hopping on a spin bike. Nearly two years later, and I'm still totally hooked. Cyclebar has a boutique feel, but with down-to-earth staff that always make you feel welcome. Kelly & Keith, the owners, have given such a gift by opening the studio in the town center. They are passionate about our community and give back to others through charity rides. The instructors are all fantastic. Each instructor brings his/her own unique style to the bike and I love the variety of music that is played....It's always a very intense workout (body & soul) followed by a refreshing eucalyptus towel and smiles from our classmates. Thank you Cyclebar for bringing such a special studio to our sweet town. read more

I have taken two classes with Tori and loved both! She has such great energy, is super encouraging, and her playlist ROCKS!! She really motivates and encourages you the whole time without making you feel pressured to do anything you aren't ready for, which I really appreciate. The whole staff at cyclebar is super helpful, helping you set up your bike so it's just right, answering questions, getting you water or towels, and anything else you need. Everyone is very welcoming! I'm a newbie, so I have appreciated how helpful and patient they have been. The facilities are awesome: great bikes, awesome light show, locker room, etc. Not to mention the awesome GEAR! It's so great to have Cyclebar in our town center! read more

I've been to classes each of the past 4 days, and I've thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The studio is very clean and modern, with every detail being thought out. From ice cold towels handed out on a platter after each class, to CycleBar reusable water bottles given to each member, to Suja drinks and bananas offered complimentary to everyone, they haven't forgotten a thing. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and make you feel great from the moment you walk in to when you leave. The instructors are all so motivating, inspiring, and uplifting. The spin room is like a dance club, from the lighting to the music. You are so pumped up during class, and you leave feeling so refreshed, energized, and ready for the day! I love it so far, and can't wait to continue going for a long time to come. read more

I've lived in San Elijo Hills for 4 years and have dreamt of a cycle studio opening in our little town. My dreams have come true! This place is a gem! From the music to the lighting to the colors + amazing instructors and most importantly the community feel...I'm hooked! The small special touches mean so much, like my shoes in the correct size are waiting for me when I get there...what? So awesome. They provide personal stats which makes you want to work harder to meet goals. The water bar is great too + cold eucalyptus towels handed out on trays after classes (might be my favorite part). This place is a wonderful addition to our community and I'm happy to be a part of it! read more

This studio is incredible! It is so modern and beautiful inside. The staff make you feel like you've entered a high end gym. The ease of signing in and getting your shoes is so great (plus shoes are free)! Great bathroom/shower/locker area too. When you step into the studio you just feel motivated to get a great workout. The bikes are so smooth and all of the instructors are SO motivating and positive. This has only been open a few days but already the community here is amazing. If you haven't tried it yet you must. Nothing bad to say! read more

Very friendly staff and owners (Kelly and Keith). Great cardio work out!! Your stats are emailed to after every workout so you can track your progress which keeps it very motivating. The facility is very modern and clean. The bikes are easily adjusted and simple to work. They provide you with shoes and clean towels. There is always a positive and inspiring message in each class. read more

This studio is brand new and very nice. I really enjoyed Jeannine's class - great music, solid challenge, and great energy. Love that Jeannine mixed it up and play rock and rap. The climbs and jogs kicked my butt! read more

This new studio is beautiful! I have taken two of Jeannine's classes and love her. She does a great mix of sprints, jogs, and climbs, and she plays the best variety of music! She reminds you to engage various parts of your body to ensure you get the most from your ride, and she encourages and motivates you the whole way. All of the staff is super helpful and friendly. Can't wait for my next ride! read more

So thankful for this studio and the wonderful community that the owners, Kelly & Keith, and the fabulous instructors, have cultivated. The studio is welcoming and clean.
