A history of terrible treatment and a contract that they enforced for myself to pay a fee to cancel, but not for a friend. They are consistently inconsistent. Bikes a mess, shoes a mess, and no accountability when others decide to take your bike. Bad experiences and I've taken my business elsewhere. There are many other fitness options in Noma. read more

Just went here for my first class and it was everything I didn't know I needed. Izzy was amazing with prepping me and briefing me on everything. For her to be so nice and helpful at 545am is amazing! She helped me get my shoes, login, find my bike. She blocked my shoes on because I was struggling and taught me how to get them out. She was a great start. Let's get into David. He was covering a class but idk if he was a blessing in disguise. He made me feel! Like I feel good as I write this. Just enough talking, great momentum, lively energy, and great legs! He not only looks the part by embodies it. Sad he doesn't have a morning class permanently but I'll follow him around a bit! Spoke with him after to let him know because you never know what someone needs to hear and I needed him this Monday morning. Will definitely be back. Parking is really easy in the mornings too!! read more

CYCLEBAR - THE BOARD TO SHOW HOW YOURE DOING! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been going to cycle bar ever since I resumed my classpass subscription and it has been a great experience. I tried out my first class with David Robinson at 7:50-8:20PM and I've been going back religiously on a weekly basis. I love that you get to clock in your cardio in a short 30 mins session and the staff there are super welcoming. Cycle bar is way more affordable than soul cycle, offers free rental, and offers short 30 mins class options. read more

Best 45 minute workout! All the staff and instructors are super nice. They make me feel at home.

I had the best time at CycleBar! My first class was amazing, the music was great. The staff was super welcoming and friendly. It was a bit difficult to hear the instructor as she was speaking fast and a little loud into the mic so it didn't come across clearly. I wasn't sure if I was on the right setting at certain moments. It was easy to stay motivated throughout the entire class and fun. There's a leaderboard you can opt into to see how you're doing compared to the rest of the class. I burned 350 calories for a 45 minute class! I'd definitely come back. Also I was a little shocked by their Covid measures. I had received an email beforehand that they limit the class to 15 bikes and even vaccinated people are required to wear masks throughout. It was misleading as when I arrived I was put on a bike next to someone else, no one was wearing masks, and there were far more than 15 people. read more

CYCLEBAR - So cute how they welcomed me! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been coming here for a couple months now and really love the friendly, approachable atmosphere. You pick (or are assigned, if you're using ClassPass or a similar app) your bike when you sign up for a class. You check in on an iPad and grab your shoes (after your first time, they'll be in a designated cubby with your bike number). Then you can head in and get set up on your bike. The staff is SUPER friendly and helpful - both in terms of getting you set up and dealing with any scheduling/billing/gear. I especially love Michelle as an instructor, but everyone is great. One thing I really love is that your stats are private and everyone is oriented towards the instructor - so no one is looking at you! They send you a little email summary afterwards with how many calories you burned, your average RPM, and some other stats. It has locker rooms with showers and anything you might need (including things like tampons and hair ties!). They also provide towels. So it's pretty easy to get yourself ready for work or going out after if you want to. Overall, I really like coming here - it's a good workout with friendly folks and good music. The themed rides (go Swiftie Sunday!) are especially great. read more

Cyclebar NoMa is a wonderful community of people that always motivate me and provide a wonderful workout! Jacie always brings a wonderful energy to class and helps set goals for all her riders and leads to an amazing ride! Adriano has the best taste in music no matter what time of day or night-- and brings an upbeat vibe every time! read more

I really wanted to love CB, but for me, it was above average. I arrived early and found street parking. When I walked into the door, I was expecting an over-the-top greeting, based on other studio experiences, but not so much. Nonetheless, I went to the cubbyhole to get my shoes. Since my size wasn't there, the employee kindly helped me retrieve a pair. I mentioned it was my first time in the studio and I was expecting a tour, but I received a very brief here's everything. I put my items in the locker and after a while, we were invited into the cycling room. The instructor asked if everyone had everything they needed as she was preparing for class, but there wasn't ample and visible employees to assist with my bike. For me, I was having problems clicking-in and operating/understanding the digital pod connected to the bike. Fortunately, an employee came over to help as the music began to start. Overall, I did enjoy the class and I got a good sweat in. Also, I appreciated the cold towels that were available after class as well as the fruit. I would go back again because the studio is convenient and the pricing is competitive. read more

I love Cyclebar. This location is close to Metro, which is great. The staff is really friendly, and it's clean and modern. It smells great inside. Cyclebar has one of the more comfortable spin bikes, plus they have seat covers. Leigha F. is my favorite instructor, and I mostly take her classes here. She's fantastic and super high energy and I always get a great workout. If you're looking for a great spin experience, Cyclebar is it. read more

I went to Cyclebar my first time a few weeks ago, and so this is really based on their Covid protection measures. One of my friends and favorite Flywheel instructors started teaching here, and I had told her I'd come to the class. The classes are kind of a mix between Flywheel and SoulCycle - there are metrics on the bikes for resistance and cadence like Flywheel, and a leaderboard and races, but you're also doing some things on the bikes like push-ups. During the pandemic, the bikes that everyone is on are very spread out, and masks are required for everyone. And while the masks are a pain (you're often breathing in your own sweat), that also made me feel safe to go. I think the weakest part of the whole experience was the bikes themselves - I'm just not personally a fan of the Schwinns. They were very difficult to adjust and I never really got it right. The handlebars were very slippery, so I couldn't hold on easily. And the little pack with resistance/cadence was just too small and hard to read, which made it tough during the workout. I'm mostly sticking to my Peloton, but if I do decide to go to my friend's classes during the pandemic, I have no qualms about coming to CycleBar. read more

Came for my first free class yesterday and had an amazing time. Sasha is a fantastic instructor and really pushes and motivates you to keep at it even when the class is hard. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which I appreciated. Your first class at CycleBar is free, and it's really easy to sign up for it online. I actually originally signed up for a 6 am class and missed it, but called and Johnny, who I spoke to, was incredibly helpful in helping me reschedule again for free. Will definitely be coming back to this cycling studio again! read more

I came here for a Private Ride, and it was awesome! I've reviewed the CycleBar in Columbia Pike, and I think that it was a pretty consistent experience between the two studio (although I would actually say that I enjoy the NoMa location a bit more). The service was extremely friendly, and everyone was super welcoming. This is a brand new location, still in their first few weeks of a soft opening. But I wouldn't have known that, to be honest. It was a great experience. The location is a little strange because it's not by much else, but there is a ton of street parking on 3rd Street NE. It's also very metro accessible. And a cool thing about the location is that afterwards, there are plenty of places to go to afterwards (and there are showers at CycleBar! Although I would suggest bringing your own shampoo and body wash). Devyn was a great instructor with a lot of energy and a really great playlist. It was her first CycleBar class, but you wouldn't really have known that. Since the NoMa location is just about to open, there are a ton of promotions and FREE RIDES!! All of the rides on the app called "splash" or something like that are free rides. Additionally, the packages are discounted. I would definitely check it out if you live or work in the area. :-) Edited (7/5/17): I've since attended many more classes, and I can say that all the instructors I've had have been amazing (Devyn, Lexi, Haley, Rob, and Dionne). I hope that they will offer more classes as they become more established - to include midday classes and/or early evening classes (4:30 or 5:00 pm). read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wow, what a workout--and a great crew! It's been a few hours since my ride, and I'm still riding the energy and endorphin high! I'd never tried spinning before this class, but this brand new studio offered a free session to residents of my building, so I took the opportunity to try out a new activity and meet new members of our community. Signing up online was a breeze: create your account, enter your details, pick your class and your bike, and you're good to go. They ask for your shoe size, because they provide you with the shoes, so all you need to do is show up ready to ride (and with a pair of socks)! Walking in the front door the team working there were super welcoming and showed me to an iPad terminal to check in for my ride. Then I picked up the shoes in the cubby for the bike number I'd reserved (34), and I walked over to the open locker room space to put my shoes and socks on and put away the few things I'd brought with me. Note that this is not a place to change your clothes because it's not at all private, nor are there showers. There is a bathroom you could use to change when you arrive if needed, but better to come suited up and ready to ride. And don't forget to fill up your water bottle! I walked into the studio early so that I could get setup on and comfortable with the bike. One of the team members was going around to help people get situated, and he helped me adjust my bike to fit me and get me locked in on the pedals. I really appreciated that he also explained the fit and positioning I needed as he did it, so next time I can try to get myself setup. Dionne our awesome instructor arrived and started getting us pumped and warmed up! There are adjustments to the lights and music with great beats to motivate and challenge you, and keep it fun! Even though I'd never tried spinning before, I found it fine keeping up with her, even if my pace was slower than other riders and I wasn't as smooth with the movement. Around the 30 minute mark is when I learned why this gym is called CycleBAR--you breakout a weighted bar from the side of your bike (there are 2 weight options to choose from) and while your legs keep spinning, your arms get their own intense workout! This added so much value to the class for me, and the prolonged change of pace and muscle focus helped me keep going for the final bit of the class. By the final 5-10 minutes I was getting into the spinning motion and feeling great! I definitely ended that ride feeling way better than when I walked in the door! Now I'm signed up for at least 2 more classes this month, and I'll be trying different instructors each time. I'll report back! After the ride I got to chat with some of the team about my experience, and I kept drinking water and grabbed an apple from the bowl of fruit by the studio door. Prior to coming I'd followed the email instructions and ate a banana, plus I had some orange juice because I was feeling hungry and a little bit of juice helps me before morning runs. When I got home and checked my phone again I had an email from the studio with my stats from the class, which I'll be able to continue tracking every time I go! For those of you who like a competitive atmosphere, you can opt to be part of the class scoreboard, which is especially relevant during the sprints! And if this isn't your thing don't sweat it (haha), I didn't opt for it either, it won't matter. read more

Possibly the nicest staff of any studio I've been to. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Classes are awesome too!

Tried out CycleBar through ClassPass and was consistently impressed by CycleBar! I love that when you walk in the door, they already have a cubby with your shoes ready for you & when you come for the first time, a note saying welcome and to check in with staff. Staff come to give you your correct shoes and help you set up your bike as well as show you the space. The ladies restroom offers showers, a small amount of lockers, and essentials for getting ready for class/freshening up after class. The only downside is very little space for changing into workout clothes before a class. It can get a bit crowded and is kind of awkwardly in front of where the bathroom door opens. Wish there was more room! The staff has always been super friendly and helped me set up my bike and clip in both times. Even when I was running late to my first class, they were very nice about it and helped me get into my class as quickly as possible. I find the shoes a bit more difficult to clip in than at Zengo/Soul Cycle, so I also appreciated their help clipping in. The bike fit in general I like better than Zengo/Soul - I am 5'0 and the bikes seem better able to adjust to my shortness. Major plus! The instructors have all been motivating and had great musical selections. I love that they have a leaderboard, but that it is really put up only a few times. Generally, instructors had the class go in for a push and then put up the leaderboard for just 20 seconds. Enough to motivate you just a tiny bit extra but not make it feel uber competitive. I like trying to beat my self, so I like this extra bit of motivation. The instructors have also had rows compete against each other as well as left/right side of the room compete against each other. It boosted camaraderie in the studio and really helped you put a bit extra into the sprints. After class, cool towels, bananas, mints are available - a nice perk! A few minutes after class, they also email you your class results and keep them listed in your account. I like to compare my previous rides and see how I've improved on different metrics. Will definitely go back through ClassPass and highly recommend to others looking for a good workout! read more

Really enjoyed this studio! The staff was very friendly as soon as we walked in and gave a quick mini tour. The facility is very clean and less noisy than other studios. I truly enjoyed my exercise and our instructor Lexi was great! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my bike's resistance wasn't working for the first half of the class so I don't think I got the full experience. However - when my instructor noticed I was going a little faster than the rest of the class she assisted me with the bike in the middle of class which I appreciated . I'll definitely be back! read more

I recently tried CycleBar NoMa for the first time and it was a great experience. Like another yelper noted, they really took the best parts of other spin studios and put them into one studio: free shoe rental, well stocked bathroom, and optional competition board. My class was themed "strip club anthems" and the music was truly on point! Did you know T-Pain's "I'm in Love with a Stripper" could be a spin song? The instructor began the class with helpful hints for newbies and led the ride with clear instructions. The only downside was the free fruit and water promised seemed to have been cleared out by the previous class and not replenished. Note for those who have spun at Soulcycle or Flywheel, their shoes clip in a bit differently and you may need to get some assistance clipping in. read more

What an amazing workout! I recently tried Cyclebar Noma through classpass and I am a huge fan. Before Cyclebar, I kind of refused to work out. This place makes working out fun, yet challenging. The gym offers free water, healthy snacks, towels, champagne (brunch) etc. The best part about Cyclebar is the customer service! I was really nervous about trying a new gym, but the people who work there guide you every step of the way. They assist you in checking in, finding a locker and biking you in! I absolutely love it. One class, I brought my friend along and her foot fell out the bike. Someone immediately ran in and biked her right back on! I absolutely love Cyclebar and look forward to becoming a regular. Also, this goes without saying, the music is GREAT! read more

I am new to CycleBar but I've had an amazing time so far! The staff is very willing to answer questions and I always have a great workout.

I took the class and it was ok. I did inform the staff of my hearing damage and the loud music. The staff said to me "That's how it is and here are earplugs." They WOULD NOT LOWER THE VOLUME. And the instructor was yelling louder over the music. There is a law called the American Disability Act (ADA) and this location failed to accommodate me by lowering the volume. The volume levels, if recorded, are well over the maximum decibel readings (120db) that the human ear can tolerate, for less than 90 seconds without significant damage. If you wish me to join CycleBar, accommodations must be made according to the ADA. read more

I've been going to this Cyclebar for a few months now since my office moved to Noma. I basically only go to the 6pm classes. I've enjoyed all the instructors and I always get a good workout. These spin classes have a lot of "dancing," more like Soul Cycle and less like Flywheel, but it's optional. You also spend a lot of time out of the saddle. I wish they would add noon classes since there are so many new government workers in the area, and I'm a little bummed that they got rid of the 5:30 classes, but overall this is a good spin studio and I'll keep going back as a supplement to my other workouts. read more

Cyclebar is a fun way to get in a great workout. I really enjoy the energy and the great music. Plus, I feel sort of pampered-- everything is new and clean, your shoes await you in your cubby, your towel awaits you at your bike, free fruit is on offer, the bathroom is well-stocked with necessities, etc. They offer good deals to new customers and the customer service is second to none. Scheduling on the website is really easy and I love the class themes (even including a wine down Wednesday!) But nothing is perfect. I do think they could give a little more instruction to newbies (how to use the shoes/pedals, how your bike should be set for your height, etc.) And it's not ideal for those on the way to work in the morning, as there are only two showers. Overall, I definitely recommend at least giving it a shot-- it's free the first time so why not! read more

Cyclebar NOMA is pretty awesome. The entire community there is really positive. The instructors do an amazing job of being motivational too. After about 6 months of going there I was able to meet my health goals. 2 thumbs up to all the instructors and staff that make this place awesome! read more

I really love the workout at CycleBar. Part of the fun of fitness to me is trying new things and challenging my body. Every class at CycleBar is different, and all the instructors have a different style -- but all the classes are FUN! I also love the huge variety of themed rides and the fact that they vary themed ride times throughout the week. Free shoes are another added plus (note, these shoes clip in "upside down" compared to Flywheel). To me, this is the right balance of competitive and music-based cycling. Downsides? I feel like every class something in the studio is broken. Someone is on the wrong bike, the instructor's mic isn't working, a shoe clip is broken, a bike won't turn on... I wish they could work the tech side out so it doesn't take away from the start of class. But it always gets fixed somehow. The studio itself looks really nice, but it starts out cold and gets hot fast. I've been in classes (including one this morning) where the room gets SO humid that the bikes are wet and slippery, which actually feels a little dangerous when you're doing push-ups on them. Finally, I am thrilled that there are more fitness options coming to the west side of H Street / NoMa area. I hope the crowded classes here and at barre3 nearby encourage more gym owners to do the same. Thanks for being part of the early crowd, Cyclebar :) read more

I really like this place. It's a perfect combination of Flywheel and Soulcycle. The bikes are nice and the instructors are a blast. The owner is also so incredibly nice and the fact that every time I walk in he remembers me is really indicative of the vibe of this place. The shower situation is cramped and tight in the morning, but what can ya do. If you can avoid showering here I would. Not because they are bad or dirty...they are actually quite nice with all the shower essentials provided...it's just 2 small showers so when you have a line of 10 people waiting it takes forever. The room where class happens is also really nice. The tv screens usually are playing music videos which is fun. I also like how it's kept very cool. I already sweat a bunch so I don't need the room to be roasting as well. The actual workout itself is high energy and challenging. The only reason this is 4 not 5 stars is that the number they post just goes to a recorded message with no option of talking to a real person. THAT is beyond annoying to me and really makes me salty. read more

Love, love, love CycleBar NoMa. The classes are always high energy and have the right combo of stats and music to keep you motivated but have fun, as well. The CB NoMa instructors and front desk staff are the best in DC hands down! I find the owners to be accessible and eager to respond to client needs, as well. Definitely the best place to work out in the DMV. read more

I was invited by a friend to try CycleBar and it was surprisingly fun! I don't usually favor cycling classes, but this was a different experience. The instructor had non-stop energy, played good music, and was very motivating. The studio space is large, well lit, and has about 40 stationary bikes. The bikes are sturdy, each have a tracker to view your stats, and cycling shoes are provided. Post-workout, free water bottles and a snack (fruit) are provided. Overall, a fun cardio workout. read more

Do not go here, although is can look less expensive than other places there are many fees such as if you cancel too late towards the class or if you can no longer show up, as well as requiring a 30 day cancellation process. I have gone to many other cycling places and have never had so many hidden fees. As a month to month basis for unlimited classes it makes no since to join if you have a changing schedule. The classes are so hard to get that you have to sign up a week in advanced and if your schedule changes you have to pay to not attend the class. Overall the cycling classes are nice but be prepared to spend a lot more than you think if you do not have a consistent schedule. After trying to cancel my membership in March I am still being charged in May which is unacceptable given my clear intentions that after the 30 day period the membership should have been cancelled. I do not recommend this to anyone due to their clear main priority of making the most money from everyone and lack of concern for the people doing the classes. read more

BEWARE -- MISLEADING SIGN UP PROCESS!!! This place has a VERY misleading sign up and billing process. I signed up for what I was told was a three month membership. A few days ago, I was charged for a fourth month without any notification that I would continue to be billed! When I called to get a refund, I was told that I would continue to be charged until I gave a 30-day notice to cancel. So a "three month" membership is a LIE -- all their memberships are really just unlimited memberships and they'll continue to charge you indefinitely!!! I've just requested to cancel (which you cannot do via your online account or over the phone btw) and now I'm going to be billed for a fifth month because I'm past the 30-day notification window to cancel!!! Don't be fooled by their sign up process and any promos advertising "three-month" or "six-month" memberships -- you'll get your wallet emptied before you can get out!!! read more

I travel often and have taken cycling classes all over the country - this was by far the lowest rated class. First, the instructor had a full class but had very low energy and failed to take advantage of the atmosphere. Second, the class was supposed to be a 45 minute workout but the instructor started the warm-down at the 33rd minute, and ended the class at minute 40. What?!? Finally, the effort boards were only used for two 30 second efforts, and never to show overall effort as it related to the class, not even at the end. What is the point of an effort board if you are not allowed to see it? Might as well go with Peloton over this garbage. read more

This place has seriously changed my life. It has created a whole new relationship for me around exercise, the 45 minutes go by so quickly because the teachers are amazing and the music is BUMPIN. Gabby is my favorite teacher, she is incredibly energetic and kind and is goals in every aspect. Thank you cycle bar, you'll be seeing a lot more of me for sure. read more

CYCLEBAR - Cycling Classes Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Can't say how good CycleBar at Easton in Columbus, Ohio is because the unprofessionalism I was subject to before hand destroyed that opportunity. I was given a free 7 day tryout ( all I had done at that point was give them my contact information online) where they prepared a contract and dated it without my knowledge--not really a problem that I could not handle. I was texted that they e-mailed me my login information--saw 3 emails and I could not find the log in information. I tried to sign up for a class online but almost all were full so I tried to sign up for the Classic for the next day and i would be first on the waiting list ( some classes the waiting list was 7 deep). I could not sign up, I could not log in because I did not have the log in information that they said they sent. I tried to create an account but it said my email was already being used. I called the gym, no answer, So I texted them with my problems indicating that I did not have the log in information an I needed help to sign in before I was shut out of all the classes. I got a text saying they were sorry about my frustration and asked me how they could help, even though I had already texted the problem I was having with no log in information. That told me they really didn't read my text because the issue was in the text plus, them being the merchant who had the log in information that they said they would send to me should not have been asking me what they could do. I pointed out my issue was in the text that I had sent to them and I never heard back. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

SoulCycle was closed so I decided to give CycleBar a try, and I was excited but from the moment I came in the vibes were off and was nothing compared to SoulCycle. I'm never coming again! Customer service is horrible, I tried to call before class but no one answered. The instructor was unprofessional and wouldn't stop screaming. read more

I literally cannot say enough great things about this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and the facility itself is brand new and spotless. The cycle shoes are FREE unlike at other cycle studios where you have to pay each time to use the required shoes. The classes themselves are fabulous and go by so quickly and the cycle theater let's you leave everything at the door so you can focus on the class. My favorite part is that they email you your stats after each class so you can see how you're improving and how you did that day. Oh and did I mention that on Wednesdays they give you WINE and snacks after class?!? Need I say more? I've never been one to look forward to working out but I can honestly say that I look forward to each class and recommend CycleBar to everyone! read more

Great workout and even more incredible instructors! Clean and professional. Great place to get in a great sweat, unplug, and have some you time. Gabby is my favorite she not only is an inspiring and motivating instructor she also incorporates a spiritual aspect to every practice which is always needed. Thank you! read more

I love the CycleBar brand and I was walking distance to this location! Pricing here is a bit more expensive than the VA location and I like the VA layout better for the showers/bathrooms. Walking into the restroom and watching a girl awkwardly change is well... just awkward. The Columbia Pike location is definitely laid out better. I had less technology errors here than at Columbia Pike so that's a plus, but the lower price, water bottles, ample fruit, better flow in locker room/restroom area and instructors at CP kept me loyal to that location even if it meant I had to drive. read more

I LOVE cyclebar NOMA and am hooked. Classes are fun, instructors are motivating, the space is really really nice. My only reasoning for 4 stars vs 5 is the schedule. Not everyone works a 9-5 job and Cyclebar only offers classes 6A/7A and 5P/6p/7p. At least one afternoon (or even late morning) class a day would be really nice for a nurse like me that likes to sleep in a little bit on her days off but doesn't want to wait until the evening for her work out. I hope for a more accommodating schedule in the future! read more

I MISS MY CB FAM!!! Love this studio and all the instructors. CB Noma really makes the spin studio feel like home to everyone who walks through the front door. Can't wait for classes to be back up and running. If you're considering joining a spin studio in the DC area stop right where you are because you've found your next home! Love and miss these guys. read more

Nice little find, tucked away next to the flagship REI. They really roll out the red carpet for you, and do everything for you except actually ride the bike. Nice touches like water bottle, free rental cycling shoes, breath mints, ear plugs, bowl of bananas. Super friendly and responsive by phone and email. Great for beginners who are just figuring out clipping in and cycling vets. read more
