Been meaning to write a review. The instructors I've had are AMAZING. But what made me want to write a review today was I actually was scheduled for a 7 AM class and when I walked out of my house at 6:50 I saw that my car window was broken and all my belongings were just thrown out onto the street. I called grit cycle and I explained to them the situation and Sophia was amazing. She canceled my booking right away with no fees or anything and I was able to get that credit back. Honestly, because I was past the cancellation time they could've been jerks and been like sorry can't do anything, but the fact that they prioritized good customer service over profit, made me a lifelong customer. read more

This location is located on the second floor of 2nd and PCH. There's free 2 hour parking along the side on Marina Dr or there's a parking garage. They have shoes available for rental. This locations is really nice and clean. They have cubbies or lockers you can leave your stuff. There's a restroom and water refill station as well. I joined in for Danielle's morning class. She was suuuuuper high energy and kept the class pumped. She was motivating as well. I haven't cycled in a while so it was a bit hard for me to keep up since she kept it really fast paced. They didn't have the fan or AC in majority of the class so I was sweating and also felt light headed. They turned the fan on in the middle of the class for maybe 5 minutes, but I feel like they need to keep it on for the whole time! I'm prone to fainting so I was scared I'd pass out. Aside from the heat, it was a good class and left me energized. read more

I came by on a Saturday to check out the Studio (is that what you call this?) It looked up to par, friendly staff and clean.... They told me I can sign up online for my first comp session which I did.... My past experience trying it once at a bigger gym in Long Beach.....doing 30 min popup at a 24 hour nearby where the instructor is great but the bikes are in terrible condition and the room isn't exciting but it's the instructor that counts!!! Today (Tuesday) I had this awesome instructor Lindsey though she wasn't at the podium for this session (there were 2 other gals...forgot their names)..... Lindsey kept you pumped and in the session the whole time though... I was a bit out of sync but I figured give me a little time I can get used to things.....so for first timers after you can book 3 sessions for $45 must be used in 30 days....but I got a special sign up deal for unlimited for 2 weeks for $69.99 and I just booked that instead..... That means I'll be back....and VERY SOON... BTW shoe rental is $2.00 (Free for the first session though)..... Thanks GritCycle Team and look forward to seeing you again soon! read more

GritCycle - Absolutely love this place amazing experience love the vibe and motivation that is given from the instructors here. - Cycling Classes Near Me - Long Beach, California

This has been my 5th Class and I can't emphasize how much I love these classes! The energy and just everything about them. Every instructor has their shine and their motivation for each class. The mucus selection is great to get you pumped to give it your all. There have been some classes where I'm in tears of the motivation and the fact that we can do anything we set our mind too, because you can! On my way to buy another bundle cause this is part of me even though I have a peloton at home ha! read more

I love coming to this place. It always revitalizes me. The instructors are so amazing and can hype you up to get through those tough workouts. Towel is provided for during the class but you are also welcomed to bring your own. Shoes are also available if you do not have your own. There is a water station and shower available if needed. The staff is very welcoming. Parking close to the facility is usually full and honestly I've been coming for 2 yrs now so I just park in the lot across the street because there's always something available and I'm not trying to be late for start of class There are 2 locations but I personally prefer coming to the LBX location the other location is 2nd and PCH. Come check it out if it's your 1st time the class is free. read more

Enjoyed the free intro class I took here. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The class I took was high energy and well thought out. The music was at times so loud that I could not hear the instructor. Additionally the clip in lock on one side of my bike felt too loose to where it was a bit uncomfortable to ride at times without my foot slipping/changing positions. read more

Positive workout environment! Motivating music and Trainors keep the class going! I go once a week and love it !

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy Grit. I have been attending classes since Feb so going on 10 months now and it continues to be exciting and I continue to look forward to it everyday. It's such an amazing community who all inspire and motivate each other, it's 45min of your day that gives you not only a great workout but let's you leave with such great energy. The customer service is always so amazing and the girls at the front desk are always so helpful and accommodating. Since day one Marissa has always been in great spirits and so welcoming every single time. Now to the instructors, I've taken a few different ones but I've gotta give it to Lindsey who I've been religiously taking since day 1 and Kelli who has now been on my weekly rotation. You will not regret it, try it out! read more

I love everything about this place! First and foremost the facility is nice and clean and everyone who works there is so sweet and helpful. Our instructor Alijah exceeded expectations and led one of the best workouts I've ever heard, she was so encouraging and challenged us to be our best and it was also so much fun. The timing of all the circuits flowed so well and I felt like made the best use of the time. After the class we even got wet towels that smelled amazing. I will definitely be going back!! read more

I love GritCycle so much I've been offered free classes at local studios and I refuse to try them. I feel like this is my home and part of my weekly routine. Danielle is my go to instructor the way you feel after class is comparable to a really good therapy session. You always feel so good after one of her classes. Lindsey gets the party started having her call out your name makes you cycle even harder. You will be dripping sweat after any class, I normally burn over 500 calories in 45 minutes. I'm pretty sure your first class is free, your first shoe rental is free. Try it this is a good addiction read more

I looooove this place I always get a great workout! Everyone is so nice and the studio is always clean been coming here for a while and I love it !! Try Sammy's class he is the best !! read more

I want to take this moment to recognize two amazing staff members at the LBX GRITCYCLE location. First I want to thank Heather Gordon the manager on duty. Today at my 545am class you demonstrated to me that you're truly a professional and a true asset to the grit cycle family. Heather your generosity and kindness was truly exemplified this morning in your assistance with my issue in class. Also, I want to say thank you to Raphee Obong.... your a Rockstar. A smile on your face every time I show up to class and the upbeat positive attitude. Raphee is always ready to assist and help me if I ever need anything as demonstrated from this mornings class with Brooke. I want to recognize these two amazing people for their emphasis on great service and great care for myself personally today, but, also everyday that I ride here. Thanks to both of you for your kindness and help today. Sincerest gratitude to both of you ;) Richard walker read more

I've been very much into indoor cycling group workouts. I love the music, the hypeness, the bikes, and just the overall vibe. When I came across Gritcycle I was excited to check them out. They offer one complimentary class which I used. The booking process is easy and is pretty much the same as other fitness businesses these days. When I arrived, I was greeted by the staff and was given instructions and a pair of shoes. Since this was my first time, the shoes were free but are normally $2 to rent. They offer both locked lockers or unlocked cubbies. The bathroom is a regular bathroom offering tampons, hair ties, spray deorderant, dry shampoo. The usual items you see at most fitness spots. I always enjoy the little things like this. Ok, so now, the actual workout. Well, let me talk about the layout of the bikes which I wasn't a fan of. Of course, I was in a bike not facing the front which totally threw me off and made me uncomfortable. I'm not used to cycling not facing the front. Ugh! When you book the bike, it's not really clear what direction its facing. The instructor, Leilani was great and all, but she wasn't riding with us. There were two guys at the front riding and demonstrating, but I feel that I lost the connection with the instructor and then lost the vibe. That was new for me, usually instructors are riding and may come off the bike for a sec then hop right back on. There was definitely a disconnect for me. Now, the bike, I was on bike #5. While cycling, I noticed both shoes would slide side to side while locked to the pedal. I'm not sure if that's how their bikes are designed. But I didn't like that, I didn't feel secure and would get nervous. Also, the top part of the bike where the handles are kept getting unloose. I would have to turn the knob to tighten it during my ride. This happened at least three times. So when we would have to ride up then lower down, the handles would pull back with me. So not only was there a disconnect for me with the instructor, but with the workout and the class itself. I couldn't get my rhythm down or a good flow because the bike was just not it. Super frustrating. I did voice my frustration about the bike with one of the girls who was working there. She apologized and said they'll look into it. Comparing my experiences with Soul Cycle, Sweat Cycle, and Cycle Bar, Grit Cycle is last on my list. read more

Every instructor I have is the best!!! No matter how unmotivated I feel to attend class, I never regret going. They make the most out of your 45 minutes, and the classes feel like a community. Plus, they provide complimentary amenities such as earplugs, hair ties, mints, and even a eucalyptus-scented wet towel after each session! A must for your weekly routine!!! *Also- Steph is the absolute best!!! She keeps me coming back :) read more

Wow. I rode with Sonny and he brought so much energy it made the ride a blast. Great workout and cold towels at the end. I will be back.

Are you in the mood to dance to fun music whilst also sweating your ass off and feeling an adrenaline rush afterwards? Look no further. This is THEE spot. I've been coming here for awhile and its definitely been a great feeling everytime. Sammy is by far my favorite and best instructor for me. His jams are unbeatable. It's like I'm living my best millennial time with the throwbacks and getting to shake my ass while it sweats simultaneously is 100/10 read more

5 Stars All The Way! Located in a very busy plaza with tons of other shops, yoga, and fitness facilities this plaza has lots of parking as well as street parking. I discovered GritCycle shortly after moving to LB and took my first class in October 2021 and I don't regret it. I had an idea of what indoor cycling was but never really looked much into it, I was looking for something new and exciting to get me motivated into working out again. I signed up for a free class and I was immediately hooked, after that first class I knew it was something I wanted to continue in my weekly routine. If it's your first time attending make sure you check in at the front desk and let them know, they will have a staff member help you set up your bike and show you how to lock in your shoes. Don't feel embarrassed to ask, it took my about 3 classes before I could remember how to set up my bike on my own. I've tried a few instructors and they have all been great but I get the most inspired and motivated when I take Sammy's Class. Sammy is so fun and motivating, he always has the best music playlist... My fav is when he plays his fav Britney Spears, it's like a club but without the drinking lol Most classes have a short section of a guided hand weight routine. Weights are provided, you can choose the weight of your hand weights before class starts. The bikes do not have a screen to tell you how many calories you have burned or so on so if your looking for something that gives you your workout info you might want to bring something with you, I just use my Apple Watch and that works great for me. After every class the staff comes around and hands out small cold wet towels to help cool you down and after a 45 min ride those things feel like heaven lol I love the whole environment and atmosphere. Everything is well organized and and always clean. The Blue room is were it all goes down, one big room with tons of cycling bikes, fans on the walls (it gets hott and sweaty), loud speakers, and blue lights that light up the room. This location has a very nice restroom set up and a shower in case you need to freshen up before leaving. They have a water fill station (bring a water container) and plenty of free lockers to secure your items while you ride. They also have other location along with the newest location on PCH and 2nd. If you're a bit interested in trying it out I would highly recommend you do. Download the app and try the first class for free using Code: Blue They also rent shoes for $2 a class which is great while seeing if it's something you would like so you don't invest in shoes before hand. FYi: The instructors lead the class and sometimes it can be hard or confusing but the best part is NO ONE IS WATCHING YOU so you go at your own pace and speed. Once you get the hang of it you'll be like me and own your first pair of cycling shoes lol Hope to ride with you soon :) SYoY! read more

I love GritCycle but my experience for today was less than pleasant. Apparently there is a new policy in place where after two minutes of class time they can give your seat away. Wasn't aware of that, walked in at 12:03 to hear them giving someone else my seat. She asked for my name, I gave it to her and she proceeds to say after two minutes we can give your seat away, to literally be inside and they still gave my seat to someone else is so wrong and unprofessional I truly cannot believe that. This ride was extremely important to me as it was a birthday ride to bring my birthday in tomorrow, my friends were in the class to celebrate me and I couldn't even ride with them. No remorse or anything and also charged me a no show fee when I showed up read more

The best staff! The staff goes above and beyond to fix any problems and to make your ride better. I've had them adjust my clips because i couldn't clip in. They take the time to remember the names of their regular clients and always help with a smile. Gritty angels aaaand the instructors/ classes do not compare to other studios read more

Who doesn't LOVE Grit Cycle? This location is the first Grit I ever went to and once I did - I was HOOKED! Carina was the first instructor I had and she definitely set the tone. She's cute, friendly, so much fun and has an AWESOME playlist! I will definitely come back for her classes. The only downside was parking. There's a ton of spots since the lot is large but it gets full fast since it's a part of a huge shopping center/foodie destination. Overall, I'm glad my first (but not last class) was with Carina. I also discovered Reina and Connor here. I LOVE their classes. Definitely my top 3 instructors at LBX Bonus, they had out cold eucalyptus scented towels afterwards - much needed! read more

Reina's 6:45pm class. Was such a vibe!! Her playlist was She did a daddy yankee vs pitbull! Left feeling amazing!

Braylee is why I keep cycling, she's fun and inspiring! Friendly and helpful service at the counter as always. Love that they provide the little essentials like hair ties, cold infused eucalyptus towels at the end of each class, etc. My advice: Arrive 30+ minutes early due to parking - factor in grabbing a locker and getting your bike situated before class starts! read more

Grit is 10/10 always the vibes are on point, all the staff is helpful and accommodating. I have been to several studios this place is so clean and kept up. You can rent or wear your own cycle shoes. The only downside can be the parking this place is packed on the weekends and some times are busier then others but worth the longer walk to get here. Just plan accordingly. No better place to cycle. read more

It's dark! It's loud! It's cathartic! You could be crying in the front row and nobody would even notice because they're feeling their feels too (happy, sad, adrenaline-filled, what have you). Also, it's an amazing workout! I would say that's the best part of this class, but honestly I think it's the icy cold eucalyptus oil soaked towel they give you at the end to cool down lol ahhhhhh. Notes: first class complimentary for new folks (includes shoe rental). Any other time the shoe rental is $2. Someone will help you get set up on the bike if you're new to cycling. If you're scared of the dark, bring a night light. read more

Grit Cycle is the best cycling studio there is. The community, vibe, and energy is unmatched. Instructors play great music, have different styles, and really push you to give you the best experience out of the class. Also, your first ride is free! Upon arrival, they'll check in with you to make sure you know how to set up your bike and feel comfortable in the class. Shoe rental is also free and only $2 for any rental after that. They sell Celsius, water, and provide so many necessities like hair ties and ear plugs. This location is especially intimate - the studio is a tad smaller than the other LB location but it makes it feel like a party with a community of great people! Grit cycle has made me fall in love with exercising! read more

I sign up for classes through ClassPass. Although, I did notice recently there's always a limited amount of cycling classes available for ClassPass users. Every class I've ever taken was always a great workout and the playlists are always enjoyable. I've cycled with Marissa, Sammy, Danielle, Brook, Conner, Brandi, and Braylee. I don't have cycling shoes of my own, so I normally rent whenever I take a class. It's a $2 rental fee. There's also lockers available to put your belongings in. After each session, they offer a cold eucalyptus towel to cool you down. Overall, if you're looking for a great workout sweat that leaves you somewhat drenched, take a cycling class at Grit! You won't regret it. Parking is always free in the plaza. It can be difficult finding parking during high traffic time periods, so always come at least 15 minutes earlier than your class to account for parking at LBX. read more

This review is way overdue. I joined Grit over 1 year ago and love it! Why, you ask? I'll sum up a Grit class with the following recipe: 1 part cardio workout 1 part dancehall/nightclub/discotec 1 part church/AA/self help seminar 3 parts Fun! I suggest trying classes by different instructors as they have their own styles and music selections. Personally, if I enjoy the music, I enjoy the class way more overall. Now, if any of the following applies to you, I have the following disclaimer. Please do your fellow riders a courtesy and select a bike located in the BACK ROW of the studio to avoid being a distraction: If it is your first class or you are a beginner If you are rhythmically challenged If you struggle to keep up with choreography If you refuse to do the choreography If you enjoy moving in the opposite direction of everyone else If you may obstruct view of the instructor for those behind you If you lack a proper compression sports bra (yes, I have witnessed a pop out situation) If you insist on bringing in devices that will light up If you arrive perpetually late A tip for setting up your bike: I see many people struggling with their seat and/or handlebars set too low. You will be bending yourself down toward the handlebars or squatting yourself back toward your seat so the lower they are, the more challenging things will be. Do yourself a favor and start higher to get a handle on the cardio pace and the movements. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience more and you can always adjust your bike settings to challenge yourself more when needed. read more

For the longest time, my friend was trying to get me to go try this out with her. She has been going frequently, and in November 2021, I went to my first class with Tony instructing. He makes the class so fun and motivating! I am now hooked and do at least 4 classes a month! At the end of the class, the workers hand you a cold lavender towel. amazing. Grit is the reason I can wake up early to do burn some calories! Located in LBX, if you don't have shoes you can rent some for 2 dollars! read more

Love the cleanliness and aesthetic of the studio. The instructors and playlists are awesome. They really create an immersive atmosphere to give the class that extra push that is not easy for me to achieve on my own. I also appreciate that they have a pay as you go option and am not required to sign up for monthly membership. They also have discounted classes on certain days. Plenty of options for class days, times and easy booking. Would recommend! read more

I came here on a Friday night to switch up my workout routine and wanted to get some good cardio in. I used to do cycling classes years ago with peloton and 24 fitness. Grit's vibe is similar to soul cycle and club studio. They dim the room and provide ambient lighting which really sets the tone! Keep in mind you need cycle shoes to clip into their bikes. If you don't, they have them for rent for $2. Bathrooms are clean and lockers are easy to follow and use. You don't need to bring your own lock. You register for class within their app. In my opinion the music is extremely loud (which is a good vibe) and I couldn't hear the instructor's cues. I would wear earplugs going forward. Overall would come back and pop in time to time! read more

10/10 recommended!!! This was such a challenging yet super fun cycling class. Carina was lit and her energy was inspiring! Had the most bomb diggity 45 minute workout. I was drench in sweat by the end of it but TOTALLY loved it and would sign up for another class in the near future. read more

GritCycle - Cycling Classes Near Me - Long Beach, California

Being a mama and working a full-time job - oftentimes, self-care becomes non-existent. Last year, I made the decision to focus on myself and my health. In all honesty, I was afraid to start. I used to love spin classes at my old gym but I never took a spin class at a boutique-type facility. I downloaded the GritCycle app and attended my first (complimentary) class. No lie. I was dead. Holy cow. The endurance needed for these spin classes... Nonetheless, I was HOOKED! I absolutely love this LBX location. The community atmosphere, the music, the amazing instructors, the endorphins after a ride... can't be beat!!! I just kept going. Showing up for myself. I have never regretted a Grit class. I leave so happy and grateful. Take various instructors to experience who you like... my favorites are Reina, Carina, Sammy, Kaitlyn Honeycutt, and Conner. All the instructors are great I am sure, you will find the ones you love! Combined with these classes and training with my brother at Molivate... *chef's kiss* ETA: Front staff is awesome! So kind and helpful. read more

I've only gone twice but both times have been such a fun and motivating ride! Same time, same instructor on Sunday at 7am. Kelli is awesome! I'll be back next year! read more

Addicted!!! The first ride I took was I sooooo nervous. I am not the youngest and by far not the fittest. That being said the atmosphere was one of diversity and such positivity it eased my nervousness. I can't get enough now. My favorites are Kelly Curtis and Reina. Kelly challenges me like no other and her music along with her positive soul is like no other. Reina brings a party along with kicking my butt, but in such a fun way surrounded by such great people. GritCycle also has charity rides and I love that they give back. read more

Love the atmosphere! Everyone at GritCycle is friendly and welcoming! One of my favorites to date. Lead by impeccable coaches! read more

I started going to Grit almost 1 year ago after (ahem...) YEARS of being told to find cardio that was lower impact on my knees than running. Running also benefits my mental health and I didn't think that could be replaced. I was so wrong! I started with 2 classes a week and now do 4, it's an incredibly positive and accepting space - from the front desk to the instructors, even the technical support people are personable and friendly. I have never had a negative interaction. Someone is always happy to see you - even other riders who do not know you. It's an authentically positive space - especially the early morning classes. Great class times for working folks. It took me a few rides to get confident with the choreography - so if it seems intimidating just remember that everyone was new at one point! You'll never be 'called out' or made to feel out of place. It's absolutely my happy place read more

I can't say enough good things about GritCycle. I've been coming for a few months and nothing compares to these workouts. They're fun, hard work, loud, and a therapy session all rolled into one. It is a bit on the pricier side as far as classes go, but they do have great beginner deals (your first class is free) and other deals throughout the year. The workers up front are friendly and always helpful when it comes to setting up your bikes. They sell the cutest gear and even have free ear plugs, hair ties, and mints! The instructors are OUT OF THIS WORLD. I've personally taken 12 different instructors and have yet to find one I didn't like. They all have amazing playlists and motivating messages for you every class. This studio and community are what you're missing in your fitness routine. You will not regret it. read more

I started my first cycling class last year, and I've taken about 40 classes since then (And this is coming from someone who used to hate cardio). I've taken about 7-8 different instructors and I honestly have loved them all! The place is always so clean, they have plenty of lockers, and they provide things like hair ties, earphones, towels, etc. If you're worried about the price, the first class & rental shoes are free. And I always wait for them to drop sales on Instagram. I'm so happy that cycling has become part of my weekly routine & have taken many friends who end up loving it too! read more
