Yes yes yes to all things GritCycle. Helena is AMAZING and knows how to run an insanely great workout class while creating an inclusive environment. I can't say enough good things. I highly recommend! read more

I was brought in today by a friend for my first ever spin class so I didn't know what to expect. My instructor today was Leigh and she was awesome! I normally have a hard time getting my sweat going during a work out and let me tell ya, it was pouring! I definitely recommend a headband. The music was on point and the cold wet towel with essential oils provided at the end was the cherry on top! Can't wait to do another class. read more

GritCycle - Cycling Classes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I love Grit! I'm always impressed by the energy in this studio. All of the instructors I've taken here are incredible and should be so proud of themselves-- the hard work and passion really shows. You'll leave a sweaty mess and want to come back for more! read more

GRITCYCLE is a must-go in Orange County! I have been going to GRIT since October when a girlfriend introduced me to it and I have been undeniably HOOKED ever since. It has truly been a spiritual experience and I highly recommend giving it a try. The studio is beautiful and immaculate, truly a community-driven space with an open-air deck to socialize pre/post class. They offer variety of amenities including an alkaline water fountain and chilled eucalyptus towels (the best part!) after your sweat session. The instructors each have their individual style with different music and choreography, but collectively are all SO talented, genuine and encouraging. My favorites are Allie, Marisa, Kaitlin, and Cassie. The post-class endorphin high always has me feeling refreshed, empowered and uplifted. Whether you're looking for a stress release, a good sweat, or a dance party, GRIT is your temple. P.S. For my fellow "athleisure" shopping fiends, GRIT offers a unique selection of hard-to-find boutique apparel including KORAL, All-Fenix, Spiritual Gangster and Planet Blue. read more

Absolutely love Grit!!! Amazing instructors and staff. If you ever have any questions or concerns before or after class instructors/staff are always available and ready to help. You will get an incredible workout and leave feeling great! read more

3.5 years and going strong. This place is AMAZEBALLS. Yes its a little expensive but dayum..you will work harder than your usual workout and feel so happy after. PROS Clean studio. Free water machine Tons of free towels Bags to put sweaty clothes in. post ride ICY EUCALYPTUS TOWEL - love these :) *I do wish there was one more shower and you didn't have to pay to rent the shoes. Matt's class- his music is the main reason why I go. Ive been to enough cycle instructors to know that Matt is the best out of all of them. I highly recommend this place. read more

I have been spinning for the past 5+ years, and I have been to many different studios! I really like Grit cycle. I think that the instructors are fun, music is great, and the class is super challenging! I love Sammy's energy and music. :) read more

I absolutely love grit cycle. I've been coming for a little under a year now and it is the only workout that I thoroughly enjoy! My friends and I always say it feels like a Vegas nightclub when in the saddle room. When the lights go off and the bass kicks in, you forget you're exercising and not just having a good time out! I love how the bikes don't have metrics on them because sometimes when you're a bit tired but still want to go to class, you won't feel like a lazy ass by not knowing your cadence. The classes incorporate a lot of upper body, which you can't get that much of on a peloton at home. The classes are a bit pricey but it's totally worth it. The instructors thoroughly think their regimen through prior to class so you're doing something active the whole time and in tune with the loud music. I love Jaclyn, Kaitlin, and Steph only because they play more modern music that I always actually know the words to, which help me ride with more grit (lol), but Chelsea, Kelli, and Charmaine are amazing also! They're all great to be honest. I've never left feeling like I didn't get my butt kicked in the best way possible. Bring your own shoes, though, as they do run out of your size sometimes, the peloton shoes work here just fine. read more

This has nothing at all to do with the instructors, but the front desk STAFF! oh my gosh, no goodmorning no smile on their faces.. you say thank you to them they still don't respond. I get it, its early but think about if you were in a position to go to a place for exercise and to release some steam, but instead get more annoyed because people can have such a resting b**** face. The girl in the front, (cathrine), she is also going to be an instructor at gritcycle. You really need to learn how to smile and greet people before you start teaching a class. Theres also a new asian girl (trisha) whose brand new, and i dont know what her deal is but she always in a mood too. Also this was the second class of the day and my bike had used towels on it from the previous class.. that means they don't clean or inspect each bike in between classes. I would rethink coming to this location.. Hire staff that at least will greet you or acknowledge your presence. read more

I just have to say that I was not an avid workout individual, and this place has been life and mind changing for me! I definitely want to give a shoutout to Marcus! But truly, Every instructor brings their A game and helps me to do things I never thought possible! Has helped my relationships with life, work, home, friends all in a positive way. Strongly encourage those who are debating doing this, literally if I can do it, anyone can. Thank you so much Grit cycle for schooling me about what Grit is. read more

Community, love, support, family.. this is what grit is to me. My everyday safe place. This place saved my life. From the front desk staff to the instructors and owners, nothing compares to the feeling I get the moment I walk in this place. Thank you for always inspiring me to push myself a little harder. read more

Good work out but the place needs a serious power washing with some bleach added for good measure and maybe a working fan or two? Not sure if I wanted to faint due to the heat and/or the Tijuana brothel smell emanating from the place? read more

Yesterday, my friend, who is a loyal member of grit, wanted me to try out a class. I always had a slightly fear with bikes in general but as I was approaching my bike. The staff was so kind and friendly on instructing me how to sit on the bike and features of the bike. I appreciate it because it eased my anxiety about the experience. Then the instructor, Katy, made it a point to introduce herself and welcome me, which was so nice. She put me at ease by reassuring me to I could go at my own pace and just have fun. At first, I felt like a fish out of water, but after a while I got the hang of it and it was really fun. Katy's personality and vibe made the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely going to try it again. read more

Wow this place really blew me out of the water! I am new to cycling but with the amazing friendly atmosphere, the disco feel to the inside, and the amazing music I will be coming back much more often! They make cycling fun and offer everything you need to be comfortable including ear plugs if you think the music is too loud and a eucalyptus towel at the end. This place really goes above and beyond and the atmosphere is more than amazing! read more

Grit Cycle is my favorite spin studio is Costa Mesa! The instructors are fun and motivating, and the music is always so good. I like how the room is often dark and spinning becomings more of an individual practice, rather than competing against others. I would highly recommend this studio. I've especially enjoyed Helena's classes! read more

Grit is the BEST! Shoutout to Kelli for making my days better and full of energy!

This place needs to move to a larger location with much more parking. The parking lot has like 15 spaces which does not accommodate for their large sized classes. read more

The minute I wake up on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I look forward to my GritCycle class with Kaitlin at 9:30. OMG she's a beast! She pushes you to your limits until there's nothing left of you. She's the best spin instructor I've had by far. Her class is so fun, upbeat, intense and very addicting. After going one time, I couldn't get enough and kept coming back for more! read more

Grit was my first taste of cycling, and honestly after the first class I was HOOKED! I have been cycling almost 6 days a week ever since! Love the vibe, love the music, every class is the best workout ever! read more

Grit cycle has become my favorite spin studio in OC hands down. Great vibe, friendly staff and incredible instructors. Definitely check out Helena because her class is AMAZING and my absolute favorite. Not only is it a great and efficient work out but it's actually fun! Plus the studio is super cute and clean. I highly recommend! They're also on classpass which is awesome. read more

I love this place & love spinning here ! The studio is adorable and the classes are an incredible workout. I have taken a ton of instructors, and my new favorite is Jaclyn. She owns that room & makes every class unique, fun and filled with energy. Her playlists are always diverse & her style pushes you each class. Her Saturday night class is fire & I hope to see her on the schedule more !!!! read more

I've likely been to every fitness/spin /group/non group/ class imaginable-- NONE comparable to the extreme sweat, warm vibe, loyal team, and serious ENERGY that the studio exudes. Unique differentiation et ultimate workout consistency within each of the instructors is key to coming back for more. This is why GRIT has become a solid part of my weekly workout regime, for over 4 years now And will continue no matter where I go-- With 4 locations spread throughout OC you can catch a kick-ass class with a rad instructor wherever you are commuting from. It doesn't hurt each instructor resembles a fitness cover model with personality to boot. No exaggeration here- whatsoever. Whether you like spin or not-- GRIT is contagious & i highly recommend giving it a whirl- guaranteed it will become part of your obsession as well. Doesn't hurt the they consistently support local philanthropic endeavors , hosting Karma rides with proceeds going direct to causes that touch hearts like Johns Wayne Cancer Foundation etc. Gritty up and take a class ;) read more

GritCycle - Post-Grit SOAKED. - Cycling Classes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I rode with Jaclyn this morning who was subbing for a different instructor and she KICKED MY BUTT. In the best way, of course. Jaclyn's playlist was amazing. Songs that I knew the words to, so that I could get lost in the beat instead of focus on the intense workout I was in the middle of. I love her rap songs. I saw other riders talking as I was leaving about how it was a super intense workout. If you want your 45 minutes to be worth it, ride with Jaclyn! read more

I've tried other cycling studios in the past but Grit is by far my favorite! I've been coming here for about 5 months now. The app is super user friendly to book or buy classes. Danielle is probably my favorite teacher! Check out the studio and give it a spin read more

I was skeptical and a bit scared walking in to my first class, cuz I haven't taken a spin class in...10 years...? And I haven't been doing any cardio either lately. It was INTENSE but so much fun! I'm now multiple classes in and am obsessed. As a person who hates (HATES!!!) cardio, the choreography, weights session, camaraderie, amazing group energy, and hype instructors have made me love this. Now I'm going twice a week...who would've thought?? Also, I generally take Kelli's class and she is *amazing*- which I say even though I risk more people signing up for her classes, because she's great! read more

Well I'm pretty sure my eyebrows are completely off my face. Grit cycle...you complete me...Charmaine...you complete me. If you're going to try this place you must book with Charmaine. Her energy is like fire. She has ignited that once dull flame inside me again. After having 2 kids I took a long time away from working out, from pushing myself, but not anymore. Grit Cycle is life. I'm so lucky to have this studio in my backyard. Now it's time to spin away this baby weight! read more

Be careful about the expiration date on your package. I used to love grit and ended up buying a package during a flash sale. Due to a glitch in their system, the 5 class package expired in one month (although the fine print stated the month countdown started when the first class was used) A few injuries later and not being able to go to grit, I have been unable to extend my class package (although I never used the first one) and have lost all those classes. Similar to the quick expiration on soul cycle packages. I will say grit is a great place for a good quick sweat, with the only other downsides being a lack of parking and only one shower. Overall I would say to give it a try but be very cautious about purchasing classes read more

Was recently injured and was looking for a place to get a good cardio workout in. On the west side of Costa Mesa. I enjoy working out and being pushed and challenging myself. All the instructors are amazing and have great music. It's something fun I could do with my friends before or after work and on the weekends. There's always new challenges and limits push yourself. I have to start somewhere. Then instructors are also very motivational. read more

I just wanted to give an update to my old review! My last review is almost a year old! I still feel the same about this place, and it is even more dear to my heart than ever!!! I wanted to write a new review because I have gone to other instructors since and they SO NEED A SHOUT OUT!! Katie- I am obsessed with her Sunday classes! Obviously, any class you to go of hers is going to be amazing! She is a true spitfire, and you will be in the best way ever so dead after her class! She plays music you never even knew you could spin to!! But somehow she makes it work amazingly! Allie- She is almost the best-hidden secret! I always go to her 5:30 pm classes, and there is usually always a bike open! But not for long once people realize how insane her classes are and how amazing her music is her classes will be stuffed! She is always changing up her music and keeping you going! You will be dead after her sprint jumps!! Kaitlin- If you need a kick-ass morning wake up specifically at 7 am! Kaitlin is your girl she brings so much energy to that class and has you somehow engaging your core while doing sprints and making you move back and forth! You will leave with a pile of sweat under your bike! Kelli- OMG! Besides having a kickass name:) I will take her 6:45 pm class and OMG for some reason I always forget how much her class kicks my ass!! You will be motorcycling and doing hand hops and changing it up so much that all of a sudden its time for the last sprint! I love constantly changing up moves to keep me sane haha and Kelli's classes go by SO FAST because she is always changing it up and having you use all different parts of your body! Lauren- Lauren is my little beautiful blond secret!! I love when I can making her late Friday night class! She plays the most amazing rap and hip-hop music! I always think I am going to take her class easy, but with her awesome, energetic spirit you are up the whole time and loving it!! Also, you should follow her social media she is always sharing healthy food recipes! Jessica- BOOTY....that is all I can say.....she has this one move where your BOOTAY will be screaming, and you will love it!!! Summer bods are built in the winter, and Jessica will build your bikini booty with her burning moves Lisa- I LOVE her classes......she always has a new move every time I go to her class, and I LOVE IT. She is great when it comes to creating moves that target your core perfectly! She also has insane taste in music! I constantly see on social media that she is always trying to improve her classes more and you can always feel the insane energy in her classes!! Obviously, ANYONE Grit hires is amazing, but I just love to share and give a shoutout to the people I go to! I have the other instructors I love in my last yelp review and still love them all! You will not regret going here:) read more

I wanted to update my review for Grit Cycle. I initially gave them 2 stars, because the instructor was not terrible, however my experience with the staff absolutely was unacceptable. Unfortunately, I have to give them 1 star because even though I have not returned to the studio, the experience continues to get worse! I posted an honest review, pointed out pros and cons of my experience, and now the studio is claiming that I refused to sign the waiver. This is a completely false accusation. They reached out to class pass and claimed the same. I signed the waiver after the class as requested by the staff. It was a paper waiver, with highlighted lines at the top for personal information. The only info that I wrote "n/a" for was my address and phone number. I wrote my name, DOB, and email. I signed the front of the waiver and then initialed/signed the back. They are falsely claiming I refused to sign the waiver and did not respect company policy... the dishonesty is also demonstrated in the yelp reply left by the "business owner." She claimed "we have no way of contacting you since you didn't sign the waiver." Again, this is false. You can reply on Yelp (as she did), Yelp also has a DM service, and they already contacted ClassPass about this particular situation. Studios like Soul Cycle set the bar very high with incredible instructors, outstanding customer service, a very clean facility, the best technology in bikes, and very challenging classes. Grit doesn't even come close to the caliber of a studio like Soul Cycle. Again, definitely won't be returning to Grit. read more

Grit cycle is amazing!! Whenever I take their class I always feel motivated to keep going. All of the instructors are so helpful and encouraging! The music playlist and ambiance make it so fun! They have he best filtered water and eucalyptus towels at the end. The Costa Mesa location is in the cutest building too. I will keep coming! read more

I was unsure about cycling as I've never considered myself athletic or the type to workout. I tried a class with a friend when I told her I wanted to start becoming more active now that I'm getting older. I was nervous that I wasn't going to share the same look or body type as the people who attend a cycling studio, but Grit changed my mind real quick. I found my go to workout hobby and Grit has been so welcoming. The instructors makes me feel great about myself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Thank you Gritcycle!!! read more

Grit is awesome! The instructors are motivational and professional. If you are looking for a great cardio workout, this is your spot.

Updated Review! These classes are AMAZING! By far my favorite spin class I've ever taken.. Not to mention they are so involved with the community and charity organizations. Really makes my heart happy. Matt and Dani are my fav instructors. Highly recommend sitting by a fan if you get hot easily. It gets pretty warm. They did originally miss-charge me which has been resolved. read more

The best spin studio ever! I never used to like cycling until I tried Grit! It is the best environment to have the most fun workout of your life! read more

Love it here! The classes all have great energy and I love how enthusiastic all of the instructors are. They make you feel very welcome. The classes are challenging but you'll feel great once you're done. read more

Friendly staff and classes that definitely kick you into gear!

Grit is the best atmosphere for a cycle class in Orange County with amazing teachers who push you and pick the best music! All around a great studio and clean environment too. Thanks. read more

BEST CYCLE STUDIO! Everyone is always so kind and helpful, and the classes are always amazing. Kelsey is definitely my favorite instructor, I always leave her class feeling on top of the world and drenched in sweat! If you haven't tried Grit you are missing out! read more
