As soon as I walked in, seeing the floor mat, made me feel as I was going to be okay. Henry welcomed me and the other new student and gave us a quick tour. The instructor, Brit came in and was also helpful and reassuring that all would be okay. Brit helped us adjust our cycles for our height. She gave a quick tutorial after making sure we were comfy on our bike. The regular students entered. The music was pumping, the room was darkened, the instructions were given, the class began. What I loved is that you can push yourself to your limit without being called out. They have a sign in the studio that says something like, push yourself until you're proud." Great class, great instructor, great selection of music and a great workout! Definitely bring dry clothes to change into! read more

I have really been loving my rides at Harlem Cycle ( 125th). The space itself is clean and has everything you would expect from a top tier cycling studio. The staff is beyond friendly and the rides are fun. But, let's be clear, you will sweat. Also love the fact that I have encountered black instructors every time I've been and that the business is black woman owned. Looking forward to my next ride and consistently taking the time to care for myself. See you in the saddle. read more

I visited Harlem Cycle via ClassPass when I came to visit New York in September. It was a great class! The only complaint was that it was sometimes hard to hear the instructor. Just a heads up that at the end of the class, there is a mat abs sesh. They have fresh fruit (which was presumably free), and friendly staff. Would definitely return if I'm ever back in Harlem! read more

So this morning I took the 10:00 am class at the new location 60 West 125 Th Street. What a beautiful new space.

I had a blast at my first visit to Harlem Cycle! I took advantage of the $12.50 first time visit deal (which is a steal compared to other cycling places). At first, I was a bit nervous because I had bad experiences at other cycling places. However, the workers here really put me and my friend at ease, and we were able to go at our own pace. Our instructor was great. She got our class pumped up and played some great music too. It was hip hop day, so we got to cycle to some 90s classics and current hip hop songs. They also give you a complimentary water, which is a nice touch! I'll definitely be back to visit again when they have reggae night during the week. read more

I moved to NY last year and since the moment I found the studio it became my safe place. I used to be an athlete but due to personal reasons I stopped doing physical activities for about 1 -1.5 year and thanks to Harlem Cycle I got the opportunity to recover my physical activity routine and more importantly improve my health. They have an amazing team, everyone is so welcoming and nice, instructors and front desk staff. Special thanks to the instructors I ride the most with: Tina, Broyny, Bernex. Thanks for inspiring me. I have also visit others studios back home, but definitely there's no studio like Harlem Cycle. They definitely the best of the best. read more

Came on a Thursday for the first time thanks to classpass. I signed up for the Harlem sculpt class. The studio is small but cute. After signing in, I was shown where the class was. The space was already set up, and the instructor came to introduce herself which was nice! The class had a fun playlist and the workout was awesome. I was dripping in sweat even though my balance was terrible. Note to self to wear socks that won't slip next time. I am giving 4 stars because once class was over, I felt very rushed to get out since they needed to set the bikes back up for the cycling class. Since the space was tight, it was hard to find a spot to gather my belongings and put my shoes back on. Will definitely return for another sculpt class. read more

Harlem Cycle - BGR!NYC private cycling event 12/16/16 - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

Harlem Cycle has been one of the best discoveries I've made on my fitness journey. The workout is high energy and intense, the classes are affordable, the atmosphere is welcoming, the trainers are caring and knowledgeable and overall the studio is a great place. During my first class I struggled and the staff accommodated me and made me feel so comfortable. I've been going weekly taking different classes and each trainer gives you a great workout. After my first class I immediately bought a package because I fell in love with the studio. Plus it's a black woman owned studio which is great. If you're looking for a great workout, stop by! You won't regret it. read more

I had a great time here at a Yelp Elite event. I came here on a Friday evening. I was not in a very energetic mood and was worried I would be the slacker in the class. I liked that they dim the lights, like a lot. It helps you feel less self-conscious that others might be watching you, and the lack of visual distractions helps you to focus on your tempo and breathing. When you get into it, it's pretty easy to get focused, enjoy the music, and have a good time. I didn't worry too much about staying up to speed with the instructor. I went at a pace that I was comfortable with, and that worked well for me. The instructor had positive good energy, and was a pleasure to follow along with. read more

10/10 would recommend. Cycling at Harlem cycle is a always a blast and the communal spirit + music makes every ride worth it. I honestly can't imagine cycling elsewhere! read more

Tammeca (the owner)'s hip-hop class left me drenched in sweat and the music was LIIIIIT. Ruffin's 45-mim express class barely made me break a sweat and the instructions were unclear. Would I return? Yes, but only to Tammeca's class. Loved her energy, the studio is clean and I desperately need an intense workout...which I get from her. -bathroom? Yes -showers? No -lockers? No, but there are cubbies located in room where you're biking read more

Harlem Cycle - Great first class - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

This studio is small. Only one room for exercising/cycling and a reception area out front. Very quaint, but excellent facility. I booked my first ride for only $12.50, but ended up being sick and couldn't make it. They don't usually refund money, but I emailed them and asked if I could use the $12.50 credit for another class. They broke protocol and granted me credit. When I tried to book my next class, I didn't see the credit, and emailed them again. Apparently, credit expires after 30 days! Oops! They made another exception and booked me for the class anyway. They recommend coming in 15 mins prior to class to adjust the bike and get set up. I came in 10 mins after the class had already started. Third strike for me! I know, I sound like a hot mess, but I'm usually better, I promise! Anyway, they STILL let me in and helped me adjust my bike. Customer service here is definitely top notch! I can not stress enough how great they are! The actual class was small, only about 7 of us on a Sunday afternoon. Apparently, they can take up to 17 cyclers. They also book private parties! I think I also heard them say that they have classes that are half cycling and half something else. (toning, weights?) This place is really fantastic. Fun, upbeat, and motivational instructors. Incredible customer service. Very clean facility. They even provide water and towels! And fruit!!!! Every other studio should take a page from Harlem Cycle cause they're doing it right. read more

I've been coming to Harlem Cycle for several months and I absolutely love it. The instructors are all fantastic and supportive. They bring a ton of energy to every class and provide a consistently great workout. To get the full bang for your buck, I love their hybrid classes that offer both spin and core work. Their schedule is very life-friendly with a great variety of times and their prices are very reasonable, especially when you compare them to bigger names like SoulCycle. Overall, Harlem Cycle is a huge asset to the community and is really the only place of its kind. I'm grateful to have access to such high quality classes without having to leave Harlem. I hope they continue to thrive and spread their good vibes and great workouts all over the city. read more

Ok, so today was "one of those days!" I woke up completely unmotivated to go to class, and was just about to cancel. Until..... I'm laying in bed and could distinctively hear Tammeca's voice in my head cheering "you got this guuuuuys!!!" It was the push that I needed! I made it to class, and as always, had an amazing workout! I absolutely love Harlem Cycle, and it has now become a part of my weekly routine! read more

Love you so much, Harlem Cycle! Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly, helpful, and generally fosters a welcoming sense of community. The free towels, water bottles, and apples the studio provides is the icing on the cake. More importantly, the workouts are challenging but the instructors are so positive make it fun. They offer a "sculpt" class (similar to barre) once a week if you're looking for strength training, but still want a good sweat. read more

I can not say enough good things about this studio. The customer service is beyond accommodating, the instructors are fantastic and the classes always kick my ass. My favorite class is the Harlem Express classes that are about 45 minutes; the class is long enough for a workout and short enough to still feel like you have time left of your evening. The studio doesn't have lockers, but the cubby's are in plain sight so no one can take your things without everyone noticing. They give you a complimentary bottle of water during class and small towel to dry yourself of (which you'll need). read more

Great workout and feel good family vibe, will return! Loved the owner and teachers super knowledgeable and friendly. Class gave me a good sore after. Amazing studio. Friendly, clean and motivating. So good to have them in the neighborhood. I feel like a million dollars when I leave class read more

2020 I decided to start holding myself accountable for my fitness goals (should've waited until 2021, I know) I came to Harlem Cycle on the first day of January 2020 since they had a $10 class special, thank you lawd $ (finances are 2020 goals too) it was amazing. Regardless how many times I've cycled in different places I'll never remember how to fix my bike just to the right height, being vertically inclined with long arms this works to my disadvantage. The staff helped me on the bike & I had a great time. Jasmine was the instructor of my class & kept me super motivated even at times when I thought cycling was way above me. I'll be back to this cozy spot. Thank you to everyone that day who helped me start off the new year positively. read more

Long-overdue review. Pre-pandemic, I had been participating in spin classes at Harlem Cycle for over 2 years and certainly miss it during these challenging times. Tamecca has created something special here. It's a clean, welcoming environment that emits positive energy. All of the teachers (I'm particularly partial to Shaun) are top-notch. Highly recommend and can't wait for the day to return. Thank you Harlem Cycle and hope all is well with everyone! read more

I am in love with this place. It is a super cute small space. Only one class at a time they provide you with water and towels. They have different levels of classes with different in instructors. I just did the reggae rundown and it was so awesome made me feel like I was on the islands jammin to the music. Andddd the instructor Jazz is amazing can wait to come back. read more

Had a great class here and I was a first-timer at cycling. The instructor takes the time to make sure everyone is comfortable and knows the positions, and he does the entire routine with you. He motivates you to push yourself, but he also found a good balance in that he made sure you didn't feel bad if you absolutely could not keep up, as long as you kept pedaling. He would give us two options, a tougher one and a less challenging one, and would let us decide for ourselves what worked for us. I worked up a huge sweat! The first class is $12.50 which is a steal. After that, it's $25 for an individual class, but the prices get cheaper if you buy packages. read more

Because of Harlem Cycle, I am likely to never belong to a large, corporate gym again. Harlem Cycle is intimate, friendly, and luxurious. The cycling class was phenomenal, with exactly the fantastic music you'd expect in Harlem, and lots of personalized or near-personalized attention from the instructor. The studio is climate-controlled, exquisitely cleaned, and outfitted with Schwinn bikes, and cubbies for your convenience. The studio provides water, towels and fruit. WATER, TOWELS, and FRUIT. Y'ALL. PERFECTION!!!! The studio is also convenient to the 2/3 and the B/C trains. Listen, folks, support this business. I was SO impressed and can't wait to go back. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Harlem Cycle--I'm glad you're in the neighborhood and will recommend you to everyone as long as you stay amazing. read more

I organized a private class at Harlem Cycle for my birthday and had the best time ever! The space was super cute, the music was high energy, and it was nice to have water and snacks provided. Most importantly, the class was both really fun (and tough). I had a great time, and so did my friends--ranging from those who had never taken spin to those who take classes more regularly. (In fact, my friend who goes to Soul Cycle three times a week said she sweated more during this class!) I live out of town but will definitely be back next time I'm in the city. I also loved my interactions with owner Tammeca. She was incredibly responsive, and positive, and made the process of booking everything easy. It was pleasure to celebrate my birthday there! read more

My friends know I like to spin. I like to spin a lot. In fact if you are one of those cool kids who follow me here then you know I am a complete cyclepath. So when I was asked to take a ride up to test out a new spin studio on ClassPass, I said ":Absolutely, let's do it!" I get somewhat complacent in my class grove with my classpass routine so I love when people recommend a new place. Admittedly, I haven't ventured up to Harlem for anything besides Dinosaur BBQ, but this was worth the trip and I was down for an exploration. It is conveniently located right by the 2/3 so if coming up from midtown or UWS it is pretty easy. Seriously, don't be lazy, explore your city. . The studio reminds me of a former beauty salon or barbershop ... just without the mirrors and salon chairs everywhere. You will see what I mean. You walk downstairs into a reception area where an extremely friendly front desk girl checks you in. From there you walk into the spin room where there are cubbies for your things as well as bathrooms in the back to change. The bikes are all brand new. They have baskets for those wearing sneakers and clips for any pros with their SPD shoes. I love that they have the monitors on them so I can think in terms of RPM while I spin. It makes for a much more efficient workout. Harder to slack off. Your bike comes prepared with water and a towel for you. I love that personal touch. The studio is also extremely clean. I understand you are there to sweat but the last thing I want it to grip onto a bike and have to worry about the sweat residue of the person before you. You won't have that worry here at all. The class I took was a reggae themed ride. What is that you may ask? Well you are spinning out to reggae music. Do I know much about reggae? No, but who cares, it was dope. If you are new to spin, that's totally cool, this place is probably perfect for you. I love themed rides and reggae made for great spin music due to its controlled nature. Specifically it was awesome for climbing. The instructor did a great job of getting new riders set up and comfortable on their bikes before walking them through the different hand positions. With no mirrors it is a judgement free zone in here. You focus on yourself, the music, and the spinning. It was a tough class, but definitely a good kind of tough. I walked out of there with some happy jello legs. It felt great. After class the owner Tameca, greeted everyone with a nice little surprise of bananas, energy bars, and coconut water. Such a nice treat. Not sure if that is standard but definitely unique to other classes I have taken. Also the reason I didn't collapse before dinner later. Thanks again. Loved the class. read more

There's a tank for sale at Harlem Cycle that asks 'But did you die?' And, no, I didn't. But Jennifer T. def tried! Apparently near death feels like a really good workout. Anyway, I'm still glad that I finally made it to Harlem Cycle. The music was amazing, the staff friendly and the instructor just crazy enough. Highly recommend the studio, especially if you're new to spinning. They give lots of help with form and adjusting your bike. And they've built a great community around the studio. read more

On Thursday I took the B train up to Harlem to check out Harlem Cycle. As a spinning novice (this was only my second spin class), I was fretting the class I had signed up for: a 45 min Harlem Cycle Express with instructor Justin (45 minutes of pure spinning; other classes have a mix of spinning and Pilates / core work) Well, judging by the saturated towel, puddle of sweat, and aching leg muscles after the class, I succeeded in getting a great workout! The instructor, Justin, had a great playlist and knew how to use the music effectively to set the pace. He got off his bike a couple times to check on individuals in the class and helped me with my posture during the uphill portion, which I appreciated as a newbie. The studio itself has great positive energy, and the complimentary towel, water bottle, and fresh fruit are a nice touch. The AC worked well and will be key during the upcoming summer months. I think the local Harlem community as well as other NYC spinning enthusiasts will enjoy having this new spin studio in their midst and I look forward to returning in the near future! read more
