    Inside the cycle room
    Lisa K.

    GritCycle has been in Costa Mesa for more than a decade and you can definitely tell why this place continues to be relatively busy even when the indoor cycling trend is diminishing. The quality and consistency of the instructors is always appreciated and I love that the focus at Grit is on community and not just about doing crazy choreography on a bike that goes nowhere. Now, as with any group fitness class, there's some instructor playlists you vibe with more than others, so that's for you to determine as a rider what vibe matches yours. All I can say is don't call it quits after taking only one class and one instructor as every class is similar but every instructor brings their own unique energy to the room. The cycle room itself has these very zen dim blue lights which most of the instructor use to set the mood throughout class and the cold towels at the end are definitely the perfect ending to an excellent 45 min class. They have one shower available at the Costa Mesa studio, a water filling station, restrooms, a small vanity area to blow dry your hair, etc.

    I finally had a chance to stop by a different Grit Cycle location since I was in Irvine on a Sunday Morning I booked the last class of the day and went there.... The layout is totally different from LBX and the employees are cool and friendly....though I'm really used to the location I go to.... My bike was in the back corner but overall sound and air flows through well and it feels a bit more compact than the LBX location it is still a great place to ride! The bathrooms totally different all unisex and 2 were really small one was larger (assuming this was ADA compliant)....there is only one shower that is unisex as well....and shared sinks.... Definitely location is smaller but overall it gets the job done and as long as the instructor, music and class is good that overcomes everything!

    My first class at GritCycle was on Thanksgiving morning and it was honestly pretty awful. I wish I hadn't started my Thanksgiving day off with this experience. I got a confirmation message the day before my waitlisted class, leading me to believe I was booked for the following day's 10:45AM class (screenshot attached). I arrived at 10:41AM the day of my class, and when I checked in at the front desk, the receptionist was curt and told me she didn't see me on the list, no other explanation. Didn't even make eye contact with me as she said it. I patiently asked her whether she could double check because I'd gotten the text (which I showed her) -- she told me being "checked into a class" isn't the same as being able to attend a class? Not sure what that even means? Eventually she said she could "get me off the waitlist" and assigned me a bike. One of the assistants walked me into the class which had already started, and discovered all the bikes were taken because some people hadn't checked in and unofficially took bikes. Instead of escorting them out so that I could used my assigned bike, I was instead asked to wait for the next class (12PM), which I was patient and said ok to. I ended up waiting in the parking lot for 45 minutes. I got to the 12PM class at 11:45AM, and after checking in, one of the attendants simply walked me to my bike and left right after. I received zero instructions on how to adjust the bike -- which according to a yelp review I read is NOT the norm for someone's first time? I'd assume it's important to adjust a stationary bike to your appropriate height/stature so you at least don't injure yourself. Keep in mind that I had told the receptionist AND attendant that it was my first time at GritCycle. When the class ended, the attendant walked around and handed everyone a wet towel to wipe down, including the girls to the immediate left and right of me, but entirely skipped me. Specifically, she made eye contact with the girl to the left of me and the right of me, but overlooked me entirely. I don't know if this is because I'm new to the studio, I'm Asian, or anything else discriminatory, but that was a terrible first time and I would not recommend this studio.

    If you want a good workout, and leave feeling accomplished and good about yourself, take any class in the Costa Mesa Grit Studio! The studio is clean, AND THEY JUST GOT NEW BIKES! The community that Grit Cycle has created is so incredible. From the employees, to the instructors, to the members... it's like nothing I've ever seen in the fitness world. My first Grit class was with Kelli C! AND SHE IS MY FAVORITE INSTRUCTOR! When you try her, you will understand why. Everybody should check it out and take a class. Your first class is free when you sign up too! Enjoy and challenge yourself!:)

    I have never done indoor cycling the way MOXI3 had offered. I had taken a class via ClassPass at…read morefirst and then fell in love. Despite a 40minute drive from my home, I have made my way out to Costa Mesa to make sure I am able to attend the classes. After ClassPass, I had done the new member $30 for 3 classes and had an amazing time. When I called ahead because I was going to be late due to unforeseen traffic, the staff was kind enough to do a grace cancel despite calling only an hour ahead. I have done 4 classes so far and I will be sure to come back!!! The instructors and vibes are crazy good and I love this spot!

I called a second time the next day on Friday to follow up and they said they'd found it and put it in the lost and found bin and that I could pick it up the next time I came in. I live 30 minutes away so I wasn't able to come in until six days later (today) and it wasn't in the lost and found bin and they said it might've been donated. You would think that calling twice and having my name and number connected to that item would be enough to prevent it being donated not even a week later. I know I'm a ClassPass client but I claimed my item and clearly had intentions to retrieve it if I called twice right after the class and it's pretty upsetting that I was reassured it would be there and then it wasn't. If staff wasn't sure if I'd come back for it, a pickup time could've been coordinated. I know studios are technically not responsible for lost or stolen items and it's not even expensive but it's the principle of how it shouldn't have happened in a small gym and how it could've been easily communicated between staff or with me bc if I'd known they'd do this I would've made the 30 minute drive for it. I actually booked a class tonight just to pick up that jacket bc I normally cycle elsewhere. Now I'm just hoping for a callback on the unlikely chance they locate my property and that means I'll have to drive down yet again and that's IF they didn't give it away without my consent. There needs to be some kind of replacement or financial compensation for this bc this is truly unacceptable. I'm sorry to leave a bad review on a small business that has been otherwise pleasant but this was poorly handled af, that was my favorite jacket so yes it's dumb but this ruined my night and was upsetting so unless the situation is somehow rectified by returning my belongings or compensating the loss caused by the mishandling of this situation I'm going to remain unhappy with my overall experience and leave this review up. I've been to a lot of other studios in the area and they've NEVER lost or donated anything I've forgotten so this feels incredibly shady and careless towards clientele and made me lose all trust and interest in the business

There's one room that has a whole led screen on one wall and the other walls are mirrors. There were a ton of cycling bikes and they all had a tower placed on top. The seats were hard to adjust and mine was a bit too far for my taste. I never figured out how to adjust it. Ive tried cycling before, but it's been a while so I struggled to lock my shoe into the pedal. The instructor, Nikki, came to help me out. Her class was a lot of fun! She definitely kept the energy going. There were a good amount of breaks in between and she would remind us to drink water. I noticed my feet were hurting in the middle of the class, which isn't normal. I realized the shoes were a bit too loose so I'll definitely need a smaller size next time. I wasn't the biggest fan of the cycling bike itself, but loved the energy of the class.

The element that initially threw me off is how dark the room can be, but it makes it extra more dramatic when the beat drops and the lights change. Adds to the vibes. The bathroom is also very well equipped with wipes, spray on deodorant, showers etc, and pretty clean. There are plenty of lockers and cubbies in the lobby. I liked how spacious the bathroom, lobby, and locker area is, making preparing and leaving class more accessible (some studios are very cramped). The one thing I noted during the class is that it got very warm, and the fans weren't on. I think if the fans were turned on, it would have made this a 5* experience!

Because of my work schedule, I usually take the 9:45am weekday classes and a couple on the weekends.

You can really feel the positive energy--they take the time to get to know you, answer questions, and make sure you're comfortable while still having a great workout. **Classes:** They offer fun themed rides throughout the week, which keeps things interesting. There are two types of classes: a 45-minute regular ride and a 60-minute "afterburn" class that combines cycling with strength training. **Cleanliness:** The staff does a great job keeping everything clean--they wipe down each bike after class, provide a towel at every bike, and even give you a refreshing eucalyptus cold towel afterward. **Parking:** There are spots along PCH and some in the nearby residential area. Just make sure not to park in the lot next door (I believe it's a restaurant) If you're thinking about trying it, definitely check it out--you won't regret it! First-timers get free rental shoes (after that it's $3), and they even have complementary hair ties (definitely a lifesaver) Omg, also. Check out their Merch. I swear I have all of their items.
