Best spin studio around. I can't wait for the Montrose branch so i can start taking the 5:30 am class with Brooke!!

I'm back at this studio, for one and only reason... Maren . She's truly one of the best instructors I've ever met. Enthusiastic, super professional, knows what she's doing, picks the best music, PREPARES for her classes and let you know what to expect of the class. I only attend her classes and always get the more out of it. The studio itself is great, it's always very well maintained. Bikes are always in good shape, bathrooms are clean and staff is friendly. Cancellation policy seems to have changed and now you can cancel within 2 hours I believe, without getting charged late fee. Which I appreciate as it was one of my biggest complaints in the past. If you are coming to this studio, make sure you sign up for Maren's class but do it at least 24 hours in advance as this class always fills up fully and quickly. read more

I purchased the 10 class groupon here and I am finally done! Classes here vary from different times and studio is located right in the heart of South Pasadena. I was able to take classes with three instructors: Christy, Shanon and Joey. There are certain things I love about each instructor but overall, Christy is my favorite. I'm not really a fan of Christy's playlists (heavy metal, rock) but I love her energy and her kindness with most of her students! She is probably the nicest and approachable one out of the three. I like Shanon's playlist (trance/EDM ish) energy as well. Joey is fun and plays great music (Top 40), but she can be quite loud, which most people like as well. I don't know how professional this place is because I showed up around 7:50am for a 8:00am class and doors weren't open nor was anybody inside to help me. I really like the different challenges each instructor provides, but I am on the fence about continuing with this studio. It's near home and everything, but I had a better workout at other studios. I haven't attended their other classes outside of spin, but this studio is pretty small compared to other places I've been to. Their cancellation for class policy is better than Classpass and other studios as well and that's pretty generous! read more

I think I might've taken the best spinning class I've ever taken. The gym itself is minimalist. The bikes are basic. The layout is clean. But the class is fierce. Led by Joey, the spunkiest cycling instructor I've ever experienced. Joey was as hungry or hungrier than anyone in the class, determined to extract the very best workout she could from this particular hour. She led from the front, and it was infectious. She was pushing, she was screaming, she was dancing, and she was singing. Joey was the consummate fitness DJ. There was not a single digital display on any bike or on the wall. But the music was good the instruction was excellent and the sweat was flowing. read more

Friendly, clean, well-maintained. Towels, lights, music. Fans. Bryan, Mark, Steve, and the whole crew. A few Look pedals if you swing that way. No candles. Step next door to Charlie's for a "Monkey" afterwards. This is my favorite place to spin. Update: And yoga too! Dawn's CylceFlow is challenging yet super beginner friendly. Very safe. This is the class I'd keep if I could only spend an hour a week on fitness. Shoes and a mat are nice, but not required. read more

I'm an avid recreational cyclist who enjoys an occasional spin class. Why is Pedal Spin Studio better than other studios? Quality instructors. Class variety. Locations. New equipment. Clean. Spacious. Parking. Close to freeway. Early and late classes. Fun. Benefits of a spin class: Weight loss, exercise high, energy boost, friendly community, accessible to all levels of fitness. I've taken classes at their Montrose location a few times and now that they have a South Pasadena location it gives me double the options of classes I can take. All the instructors I've had have been different and I've liked them all. I would have to give a special shout out to Melissa Gutierrez who is very focused on specific core control, proper positioning of the entire body and making sure the bike is fit for each individual. She plays heavier music that appeals to me personally and she takes requests prior to the classes on FB. She doesn't rely on a mic, rather she knows everyone's name and constantly gives slight and helpful corrections to make sure every minute is pedaling with precision. Bryan Yates and Cindy Bell are also great friendly staff and I look forward to Cindy's class this weekend. Thanks PSS for the rocking mornings that help me through the rest of my day. read more

Pedal Spin Studio - Yes it's from their website....Pedal Spin Studio Credit - Cycling Classes Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Get there early for your first class. The parking lot is tiny and only has a few spots. The rest are tenant tandem parking and 20 min parking for the coffee house patrons. I would suggest getting there 15 min early and no later. You will regret it. I also suggest parking on the street so that when the class lets out, you can be on your way before the rush. The 8:30 am class was completely packed. They even pulled out extra bikes for me and my posse. ( i came with 2 friends) Annette was the instructor and her music choice was M&M, Oingo Boingo, Green Day, 30 Second to Mars and Miley Cyrus to name a few. We spent 90% of the time out of the seat and in uphill mode. There wasn't alot of variety. I was a little bored. I"m used to getting in and out of the saddle a lot and doing arms. All in all it was a great workout. read more

What an exhilarating work out! I literally got sore just hours after finishing my first spin at this place! I love it here. Super clean and there weren't a lot of people spinning at the session I was at: 8:30-9:30 The music they played during the session wasn't really my taste, but, surprisingly, I enjoyed it!!!! I was able to groove and spin at the same time. Prepare to be dripping in sweat and smelly after!!!!! I could feel the sweat coming down my shirt and that never happens to me during my usual workouts so I felt good that I burned a lot of calories!!!! This place is very small, but it does the job well. Come check it out when you have the chance! This place made my morning! I am going back on Thursday to purchase my introductory month of unlimited classes for only $49 what a deal! read more

Pedal Spin Studio - Cycling Classes Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Love this place all the instructors are AWESOME But Christy sets the bar high. She is funny, witty & a a bad-ass instructor for all her classes. Go to one and you will be hooked read more

I really wanted to like pedal spin because it's on classpass and it would be nice to get a good workout through it. Sadly, my entire hour was spent being quite bored of the workout. I have been indoor cycling for 4 years and I love incredibly upbeat, fast, and challenging workouts where you do choreography on the bike. I'd equate pedal spin to what you'd find at your local gym's group spin class. The studio is small and is lit by different colored lights. Parking was difficult because there's limited space in the back or there's a 30 minute time limit, but I eventually found parking on the street. read more

I love this place! It's easy going, unpretentious, filled with people of all ages and shapes trying to get a good work out going. I bought a 10 class groupon and let me tell you, I could feel improved performance by the end of that month! I was sold and bought a 20 class pack immediately. This is the perfect cardio supplement to the weight training I do. Of course some of the instructors have a more laid back style which is not my thing, but I also haven't tried even half the instructors. My favorite ones so far are Joey Segura and Sara Lynn. They are such energetic and challenging ladies, they can always bring out the warrior in me in matter how bad my day. I'd recommend starting with their class, esp Joey's since her enthusiasm is infectious, and Sara Lynn is pretty advanced. Some people complain that it's too busy. Well yah! That's the sign of a good gym! Besides all gyms are pretty full at this time of year. You just gotta wait out till the new years resolutioners retreat. Other people complain about parking. There's soo much free street parking! I've never not found parking, and I've arrived late plenty of times. Bottom line is, I love this spot, so much so that it's making me question about moving out of this area. read more

Pedal Spin Studio in South Pasadena is the best! I love the Spin and Slay classes as they combine spinning, cardio, core strengthening and weights. Christy is an excellent instructor! She knows how to push your limits with a smile on her face....at the end of her classes I always feel that my body had a complete makeover. I am so happy that I found this place, I will get a 20 class pack and hope this business will be there for us for a long time ! read more

I bought a Groupon for this studio and attended a few times. There were some classes I liked and some I didn't. It really made a difference in how good the class was by who the instructor was. I prefer my classes to be music driven, where we cycle along to the beat of the music. If this is how you prefer your classes, do not attend one taught by Bryan Yates. I believe he is the owner. He is very nice and teaches a great circuit training class, but I did not like the way he set up his spin classes. It made them go by very slowly since it was time based instead of driven off of music cues. My favorite teacher I found of the ones I tried was Annette R. She was very motivating and had some interesting visualization exercises that helped break up the class. The most unfortunate thing about this studio is that the classes fill up really quickly at the most desirable times so you have to plan pretty far in advance in order to get a spot. Either that or you're stuck going when you'd rather be sleeping or eating dinner. Another difficult thing is they charge you a fee if you cancel within 12 hours of the class. One time my car wouldn't start and I ended up having to run a mile there in the rain at 5:30 in order to avoid having to pay the fee, even though I told them my situation. Very weird. If I got another discounted deal to go to this studio I would consider going back because you definitely can get a good workout, but I wouldn't pay full price to go unless I found a teacher I really liked. read more

I took my first class here with Annette this morning after signing up with the ClassPass app. Overall I would say that it was a great workout. Annette was very enthusiastic and motivating which is very important for a tough workout. What I think is great is that you can wear athletic shoes or cycle shoes. I was pleased to find out that I would be able to use my shoes that have the delta look clips for class. The only downside is the parking situation. Be sure to get there with ample time to find parking before class. read more

Pedal Spin Studio - Cycling Classes Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Finally came back to spin after 3 years Covid hiatus - the studio upgraded all the bikes and seem to have a fresh look to it. Nice, clean and spacious. Most of the instructors I took classes from before were not there. Thank God Leo is there and I love love his class - did I say LOVE?! No gimmick, no loud screaming so your heart popped out but steady, strong motivated climb/cardio induced spin! His special 7 minutes finish piece is the most meditative and when done you found yourself immersed with sweats! Sweat life is awesome! The staff are great- Brooke, Jamie and the other young man all were super helpful, friendly. Last but not least- thank you Cindy the owner to keep the studio opened. read more

Two years and counting, love this studio (and La Canada location). Favorite classes: Mark for spin, Ani for fitness, Anthony for boxing/fitness and Dawn for yoga. Great community and amazing coaches! read more

Really unfortunate to write this review. My sister and I we're so excited to try out this studio for a special KTX Fitness ride. We booked our class and the day before we were told the class was cancelled due to a small turnout. I completely understood the situation and was gracious for a call that the studio left. However, I was promised a FULL refund for this inconvenience and it's been more than a week....still no refund. I called and even left a voicemail stating my concern but no one even bothered to call or email me back. Terrible customer service. Never coming back to this studio. read more

I gave Pedal another shot after taking classes with Christy Kane at another cycling studio. The studio did upgrade their bikes to newer Star Trac studio cycles that accommodate SPD and LOOK pedals. I was impressed with how smooth the tension dial was, making the transition from light to heavy resistance feel natural. My concerns about the bikes have been assuaged. Christy Kane though is definitely the main reason for my return. She is one of my favorite spin/fitness instructors in the area and I will continue to patron whatever studio she is at. Pedal, keep her happy! Pedal Spin's owners care about their business and clients. The owners were genuinely concerned about my experience in my prior review and reached out to know how they could improve. I was able to talk to them and thanked them for the opportunity to talk. I was also lucky to preview their POUND classes taught by Christy at the Montrose location and they were very enthusiastic and accommodating to us newbies to the format. I will definitely begin to use my ClassPass more frequently at Pedal Spin South Pas. read more

This place had a groupon and the whole thing doesn't even make sense. In order to book a class, you need to set up an account. In order to set up an account, you need someone to input payment or in my case...the groupon. After several attempts to reach them via email and phone I finally gave up. read more

For some masochistic reason, I took another stationary bike class this past week after suffering through an introductory ride that reminded me why I don't get on bikes for workout purposes in the first place, but I was in the area, had my workout clothes and was once again pulled in by the "first class free" promo. Plus, I had seen someone who was looking quite svelte the night before who attributed said svelteness to cycling, so I figured maybe because I had done the first class already, my ass would adjust to the seat. The Pedal Party was very different than my previous experience. It went by quickly and the seats were set up so that you had to stare at yourself the entire ride, which for some reason I think makes you push yourself a little harder. The energy of the room was really infectious, in part due to the music, neon lights, and bold colors of the walls, which resulted in a much more enjoyable session. The music wasn't as "clubby" as I had read in reviews, and for the first part of the ride I felt kind of like I had gotten to a house party at the very end of the night when everything was dying down and the iPod is just playing on its own because everyone's too passed out to DJ, however it really picked up towards the end and I found yourself "chasing the beats." Definitely much more my speed, and if you like more of a party feel with your workout, Pedal is for you. read more

Oh, my aching legs. In a land replete with spin studios, Pedal Spin still stands out, and in a good way. In the sleepy little town of South Pasadena, you can pretend you're working out in front of your TV at this studio, instead of constantly being aware that you're just ten minutes from Downtown Los Angeles. Come in your sweats. Don't worry if you're not wearing new, $200 Lululemon tights or even if you're matching. No one is looking, and no one is judging. The whole atmosphere is relaxing. This place is open at 5:30am on weekdays, which is when I'd always come in; the latest classes are at 8:00pm, which is again excellent and accommodates people who work all day. I'm really not the sort of person who works outside of the home anyway so I'd come in early just so that I could run after spin class and it would still be dark/cold outside. The employees are all really friendly and helpful. It's a small studio, so don't expect separate men's and women's locker rooms or changing areas. There are two unisex bathrooms (the studio's only shower is located in one) and one dedicated changing room with a full-length mirror you can use to admire your legs and or your underwear (close the door, please). There aren't lockers, either, which might get dicey when the studio is crowded for an afternoon class and everyone's stuff is mixed around in the open cubbies near the cycle area. People are generally honest here so it isn't a problem. I've forgotten my phone a few times and came back an hour later and it would still be there. I've only ever rode with three instructors: Mark and Annette on the weekdays, and Maren on weekends. All are wonderful and have their own unique approach. Mark has a very "pump you up" fun and aggressive style, and chooses mostly pop and hip hop for his playlist. He was injured for the entire two months that I was at Pedal Spin and couldn't really ride the bikes, and yet he still infused the class with his energy. Even though he couldn't ride, he was still riding with us. He was very nice to me and explained how things worked and understood my limitations with spoken English. I liked how he'd describe really delicious sounding food and then tell us we'd have to ride hard if we wanted to deserve indulging in those things. Annette's playlists were usually rock and pop; fun songs, lots of 80s hits. Her approach was amazing in that she'd describe imaginary scenarios and create "mini goals" during the ride (ie, "imagine you're chasing a fast car--now chase it down, chase it down! Now get in, you caught it! Let's go home..."). I enjoyed how she'd remind us all that we were beautiful and strong. At 5:30am in the dead of the winter, we needed that. Maren was very fun and made waking up early on Saturday mornings a treat. She'd use a self-deprecating, jokey approach and would tell funny anecdotes while teaching the class, which made the ride a riot (ie, "hey guys! I'm having dinner with two weird married couples, and I'll be the only single one there, and I think they might judge me. Do you have any advice?" Or, "I love [insert 1980s pop culture trend]. Does anyone remember those? Oh nevermind, you're all children..."). She'd have a fun, 1980s-to-modern pop playlist, too, and despite her self-deprecating humor, she couldn't hide the fact that she was a fantastic teacher. The $69 introductory month special is a real bargain, and the regular price per month isn't so bad, especially compared with other studios that have more amenities (such as lockers, more showers, more bikes, more staff, bikes with electronic gauges to measure performance, etc.). The one thing I found I really wanted at Pedal Spin was a monitor to tell me my RPMs, and other information. I'm a bit limited when it comes to understanding people talking out loud, so often if someone says "pedal at around 80RPM!" that means nothing to me. But still, it's easy enough to keep up with what's going on if you just watch the other riders and instructor and listen for music cues. Plus, I was always sweaty at the end, so I must have done something right. I spent two months riding at Pedal Spin while staying in South Pasadena for a writing project. The writing project is finished, and now I want another one so I'll have an excuse to come here again. read more

This is the new Pedal Spin Studio location! Go check it out! I have been an avid spinner at the Montrose location, but had to go see what the new location was all about (especially with Melissa G. as the instructor!). This studio has a really great layout where all the bikes sit. You don't feel claustrophobic or being too close to the walls. Everything is clean and open. They provide you with fresh clean towels. As always, the Pedal Spin instructors are top notch and really know their stuff. Every instructor I've had at this studio has always been great. They are not your typical corporate gym spin instructors, these people have knowledge about fitness and health that is beyond just teaching spin classes. If you have been looking to try out spinning or have just been wanting to find a new fitness routine, here's your place to start! read more

PEDAL! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways: Sign up for classes online and skip having to do it once you get there. The parking lot is small, so you might need to park on the street depending on the time you've chosen The people who work the front desk are really nice. In fact, everyone who works there is really nice! And fit. I've frequented Ron Matty's session Monday and Wednesday evenings. I really like his class cause he plays EXCELLENT music. Also, I prefer it when the instructors don't use the microphone. it's less jarring to me. I tried TRX for the first time this past Thursday - what a great core/cardio workout! You use your body weight and gravity. The session i went to was small, so it was great! Sound easy? If you're not used to supporting your body weight with your arms (like this guy), you're in for a nice burn! My lats (yeah, i just said that) are STILL sore! The bathrooms (there are two) are really clean. They are big enough for changing if you need it. They have a small selection of workout/spinning apparel items in the front too. Bring yourself in workout gear, workout shoes (or spin shoes if you have them) and a water bottle. You can buy (smart) water if you want. If you run out of water during the class, you can excuse yourself to refill your water from the purified spout if you'd like. Forgot your hair tie? Grab one from the front desk! They have the fancy ones, too. The bikes do not have digital dials on them, and they actually just bought new ones (11/29/12) that are still really sensitive when you change the resistance. The dial just turns and then... well, then you can just FEEL it. During the evening classes, they turn on the rave light show (uhnce uhnce uhnce uhnce), so the GIANT mirror in front of class is a lot more interesting. Never been to a spin class before? - Try an evening class about 4-5 hours from your bedtime. A 7 or 8 pm class usually works really well for me. - Be sure to hydrate well before class, but be aware that chugging right before is NOT going to sit well with your tummy. - You will be supplied a clean towel for class, but feel free to bring your own for after class. - There are cubby holes to hold your personal items during class. - The bikes have straps on one side for regular shoe riders, and the clip in attachment on the other side for those of use with the special shoes. - there is a non-bathroom changing room with a full length mirror so you can flex and observe your awesomeness. - During class, go at your own resistance, but try to follow the instructions as best you can. read more

It's great. The owners are passionate about their business and they try to make the experience great for you. My membership ends soon with another studio and I'll bookie with PEdal spin after that! Thank you read more

I was a new student with barely any experience with spin when I started spinning at Pedal. I purchased the new student unlimited month for $69 to try it out and OMG I am hooked! Spin is now my go to cardio. I have this studio and instructors to thank for shaping the cycler I am today! The studio itself is very small and clean. The entrance is not street side, it is right next to the coffee shop from the parking lot (there is an open gate you have to enter). On your first visit, the front desk person will give you a towel, tour of the studio and introduce you to the instructor. The front desk people are all friendly and very helpful. If you start attending more often, they learn your name so you don't have to say it every class. The instructor will help measure you to the bike. The bikes have cages for you to spin with your regular workout shoes, so spin shoes are not required. However, after investing in a pair of spin shoes myself, I have found that my feet feel more secure. The bikes are both SPD and Delta compatible! Being in my early 20s, I was always the youngest at class. With the unlimited month, I was able to try out different times and different instructors. From this, I recognized the times/instructors that I preferred. I preferred the night classes because the vibe is more up beat as appose to the morning classes with less spinners. Most instructors are great, with an exceptional few that I didn't connect with whether it was there music or how they ran class. They are focus, not only on making you sweat and guiding you to a good workout; they also focus on your form simultaneously. Instructors that I prefer: -Natalie Bedford: She will make you work SUPER HARD and SWEAT everything out! Her music style consists of Pop and EDM, personally my favorite to spin to. Her classes are more on the intense side, but once you build your endurance to keep up with her, it is the best workout! She mixes hills and speed intervals together within her routine. -Mark Wilson: If you can snatch a bike in one of his classes, you are lucky! Many of his riders book his class months in advanced because he is great! I would always spin SUNDAY BRUNCH with him and he is so personal and welcoming. His music is mixed with old school/ hip hop. RIGHT LEFT LEFT RIGHT! LOL -Albert Welke: I like taking his evening classes. His night classes can also get pretty full. He plays more indie/pop remixes with a great beat. His signature is that he gives everyone a high five after class, even if you are sweaty! -Sarah Lynn: great instructor! She introduced herself and learned my name before class. Very helpful with bike set up if needed. Very motivating and works you to your limit. She lets you know what the "agenda" for class is before you start spinning so you know what to expect. In addition to spin classes, the SP studio offers group fit training off the bike. These classes are composed to various circuits that will make you feel sore. TRX and various equipment are used. Overall, if you are hesitant or intimidated about trying spin class, I say just go for it and I assure you will fall in love (if you like high intensity workouts). I have found that the classes make me feel like I have lot of energy and satisfied after every class. Just make sure you bring a big bottle of water along with a positive and open mind to class! Parking: Small shared parking lot. If you don't find a spot in the lot, there is free street parking. read more

ClassPass Review - GroupFit Circuit Training I guess Monday is leg day because we did squats on squats on squats. I got my ass kicked and I'm sitting here sore typing this review. I was dripping sweat as the workout progressed which is exactly what you want right? The class started exactly at 7 am and I got there at 7:01 am. Yeah, I was THAT guy. Embarrassing. Morale of the story, show up early. The parking spaces in the lot were all taken so I was driving around to find spaces. There's parking on Monterey if all the spots are taken. read more

Overall, my experience was OK. I can only go to Soul-Cycle in the weekends because it's such a pain to drive all the way to Westside during the week so I was very happy to try out Pedal Spin from all of the great reviews. I just get a better workout with SC than PS. Pros: -very nice and helpful staff -they supply towels and there's a bathroom with a shower -close to my house :) -lots of class times & have classes later in the afternoon on weekends -prices are not too bad & the new member one month unlimited for $49 deal was a no brainer. -the place is clean. Cons: -I definitely expected a lot more from the instructors. My first class was so boring. The instructor played really weird punk music and I could hardly hear anything she was saying. She also seemed as if she didn't want to be there, provided no variety in her routine, and kept loosing count on some rotations. -the parking situation does suck. you'll need to get there early to even get a spot or just expect to park on the street. -it's hit or miss with the instructors. I've also gone to the Pedal Spin in Montrose and have had better experience with the instructors. read more

Love, love, love. Pedal is an amazing experience. Pedal party with Kimi have replaced my club hopping on Friday nights. Love the disco lights, the dark room and the clubish music. Instructors are fantastic and great at motivating the class. The have late classes which is great if you work late nights AND they tend to have online specials for classes and if you look out for them youll never have to pay full price. bottom line: amazing! read more

5 stars for Maren. She's the best . She's full of energy and motivates the group. Her music is always good too I tried a different class today. I'm not gonna say name of instructor. It was a good work out but the choice in music made the class drag read more

I love this place! Friendly people come here and the instructors have the best energy. I was helped with my bike and once I was on it and the class began I was sweating and smiling! I can't wait to go back!! read more

My sister and GF finally got me to go to spin class....andddddddddddd I loved it. 1. Mark the instructor is very uplifting, welcoming, genuine and a F'n beast when it comes to physical endurance. He puts time into picking out tracks to spin to, as a music fiend I appriciate this. 2. I forget the girl who works the front desk, I dont remember her name but she is awseome. Since parking is tight and there are back to back classes on Sunday mornings, once she offered to move her car to allow me to park....WHO DOES THAT? F'n awsome! GO NAVY! 3. The atmosphere here is great.....GREAT! Thank you Mark and THANK YOU Pedal Spin Studio SOUTH PASA read more

Almost immediately after my yelp review, the owner contacted me and fixed the problem. I really appreciated the effort on her part. I have come back a few times now and I absolutely love it. All the instructors are great and everyone is super friendly. Bonus that they give you a towel to use, since I usually forget that at home. Water fountain with nice cold water to fill up your bottle. Very clean bathroom and changing room. Small parking lot that is shared. Street parking is usually available depending on what time your class is. Some classes are fuller than others. I'm still trying out different instructors. read more

I love PEDAL! I bought their $49 unlimited offer and challenged myself to go every weekday after Thanksgiving. I've mostly kept up my end of the deal and they have certainly lived up to theirs. My favorite classes are the 5:30 am weekday classes with Mark Wilson and Annette Ricchiazzi. The weekend classes fill up pretty fast so I prefer the weekday classes. I've only had one instructor who didn't spin and walked around "encouraging" (read: yelling) people to spin. I left that class and didn't return. I won't call that instructor out, but instead just say to try to get into Mark or Annette's classes. It's probably a good idea to go in early in the morning. When I have attended after the second class of the day, the sound system starts to go in and out a bit. One time it screeched while I as spinning right under the speaker and it really hurt. So go early. It can also get a bit hot and parking is limited. For a super fun class with great music go to Mark's class. For the best workout ever go to Annette. Annette has this crazy way of getting into your head and encouraging you to encourage yourself. She's magical. Though Mark's and Annette's classes are different, you enjoy them both which makes you work out harder. Loved it! read more

This was my first experience with spin classes. I had been wanting to try it. Its really close to my house and offered 5:30am classes, so I could easily go before work and i did. I signed up for the 1 month new member trial and so did my fiance, we have a trip booked for end of the month and we wanted to look our best. The new clients special is only 69$ compared to 150$ We knew that was a huge savings and took every advantage of it. Weve gone pretty much every other day, sometimes I go twice a day. Were almost done with the introductory month. I lost 10 lbs and he looks great too! I can't speak for everyone but we've had a great experience. The bikes were just replaced and they are smooth and easy to use. I cant tell you who our favorite teacher is we truly love them all, but maybe Maren is our favorite by a tiny smidge. I especially like the online interface that lets us check out classes and sign up - im literally on it every single day. Any time im on a waitlist, I've always gotten in. "I regret going to spin class today" - said no one ever. read more

I love this place. I was lucky enough to have my first class with Mark Wilson -- he is inspiring, a great instructor and plays awesome music. Just one class with him and I was hooked! I even started going to his 530 AM class...which for me is a miracle to wake up that early! I also really like the group fit classes with Erik MacPherson and Michele Pusateri. It is a great strength workout to balance out your cardio. Lastly, the staff is extremely kind and helpful. The studio overall promotes a really nice feeling of community which definitely makes the experience a great one! read more

I almost fell out of love when my bike was giving away one night (I was late and didn't call) but one email to the owners and all was worked out. I've since taken a few classes at different times and the instructors always push you to work it out. Good vibes, easy in and out access and great music. Bottom line, I really like pedal spin and will continue to get my spin on here! read more

If you want to learn about spinning and get a great workout, this is the place to go on the western edge of South Pasadena (just before the railroad tracks). They offer free towel service and occasional specials for new students. I appreciate the online reservation for classes and the nice people stationed behind the front desk. I am new to spinning and look forward to every class. They share a parking lot with other businesses and exiting the lot is tricky (no left turn back to York), but aside from that, you can't go wrong going here. read more

Pedal Spin Studio - Added 2/28/13 - Cycling Classes Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I tried to give this place another shot. I tried to give this place another shot. I know they were going through some changes when they were opening up La Canada. I won't be back. Granite I was using it classpass today. But, I was going to be about 6 minutes late and gave them a courtesy call 10 minutes before. No one answers the phone. I therefore try to call a few more times. Why doesn't anyone answer the phone at this place? They have terrible customer service. You're supposed to be available for your customers especially when they have questions or want to be courteous and give you guys a heads up. Also if being late would make me not be able to come I would have loved to have known before I drove all the way there. read more

I'm mainly spin during the 5:30 am classes with Mark or Annette. The workout is hard but it'll get you high for the rest of the day. Annette does a lot of climbing and Mark is more interval so I suggest taking both classes for variety. As far as music, Mark brings that funk and r&b which is right up my alley. Annette will give you a little more rock and pop which is great too...I'm always open to expanding my musical tastes. read more

Once you get past the initial ow-my-groin-is-hurting-from-this-seat-ow-why-ow-why, spinning is such an awesome work out that you can control. You can control how much weight you want to push through and regardless of which instructor you take the class with, you're sure to be motivated and challenged for the full hour. This Pedal location also has other classes than just spin, but I haven't taken them yet because they get so full so quickly! The 4 stars for this location is for instructor Kristina. Her personality is super friendly and bubbly, she's motivating, interactive, and always has the best mashup music mixes every week! You never get tired of her songs (unless you like to hear a full song throughout, so you can gauge how long you're going to be doing a certain interval...then...that's a different story!) and since the music is so good and fun you get distracted by the temporary intensity of the workout! read more
