I may have found my new favorite studio in London. I just tried their reformer Pilates and found it challenging but not too tough. Maybe would have preferred a slightly more difficult workout but it was the closest I've found to Solidcore/SLT so far. Loved the instructor. Amenities were nice and the studio was clean and everything felt very new and in good shape. The front desk members were extremely friendly and I love the cafe area (with cheap coffee drinks I might add). Would be such a lovely area to spend an hour working after a class. Good strong wifi and plenty of outlets. It's not cheap, but it definitely feels like you get a lot of value out of the class. I would definitely return. read more

The atmosphere and service of this studio is better than any other studio I've been to. On a number of occasions I've been cutting it fine to attend classes on time due to travel or work commitments, and the staff go above and beyond to get you to your class on time. Today in particular, Leah made my day. For the 630am ride class, I had less than a minute to get in the class due to a delayed train. As soon as I got there she took my bag, shoes and got me into the room in record time. On top of that! She came to find me after the class to make sure I got my all my stuff and my free shake!! She went above and beyond with such a kindness about her, I really appreciated it! The class was also fantastic - a great start to anyone's day. read more

Avid spinner and signed up for a class while in London. Love the vibe and instructors. Will be my local spot every time I'm London. I've been to quite a few classes at various gyms before but they double checked I was all sorted on the bike setup, gave me a quick tour of facilities, and instructor came over to introduce herself. Awesome studio. I'll definitely be back. read more

Psycle - Gyms Near Me - London, XGL

See all

What a great experience! I am visiting London from the US, and this is roughly the equivalent of Soul Cycle. Twenty pounds got me an hour of sweaty fun with an instructor who was as challenging as he was enthusiastic. I regret not catching his name, but I'll be sure to catch a class here the next time I am in the area. The good: - Clean - Reasonable cost for the quality - Very helpful front desk The bad: - Nothing, but do come on time because the doors close and don't reopen if you are late. Enjoy! read more

I loved so many things about this spin studio! I have been to soulcycle in USA many times amongst other spin studios and this is just as good as the rest, if not better in many ways. They provide shoes included in the price!! Yes!!! No more lugging around a gym bag because they have them! The teachers I've tried have been top notch and play the BEST music! Another amazing addition that I'm super impressed with is you can preorder a delicious vegan protein smoothie to be ready for you when you're finished with class. But there are important downsides that warrant my low rating. It is very difficult to get the classes I wanted. So difficult that when I was leaving London to head back to USA, I still have multiple classes in my account. I emailed and called to ask if they could freeze them until I returned, but they refused. It put a very poor taste in my mouth. A simple freeze could have earned them a lot more money in the long run. Not smart customer service. SoulCycle bends over backwards for their customers. If you're going to copy them I suggest you copy their customer service as well. read more

Though this place is a bit pricey, it's the best value you'll find. I compared it with other studios in the US (Palo Alto and Seattle) and you really do get your moneys worth at Psycle. Along with the friendly and helpful staff, the studio has a full size locker room and spacious waiting areas. The other studios I went to had puny showers and a just a few stalls for toilets. Most of them didn't have a proper waiting area, so you just had people crammed into a hallway, essentially blocking the lockers. How are the staff and instructors? People at Psycle are very helpful. They'll give you the full tour of the facilities and make sure you'res set up correctly on your bike. The instructors are amazing! They're supportive and challenge you in the classes so you can improve. They're all super fit and have a great program that works your legs AND your upper body. How does it work? 1. Create an online account. 2. Purchase credits online. The more you buy, the cheaper each class becomes. 3. Book a spot through the portal. Classes for the week are released every Monday at noon. If you want early morning classes on weekdays, you better set a reminder to book your class as soon as the slots open. The early morning classes fill up. If you miss the sign up, you can register for a waiting list. 4. Show up to the studio 15 minute before class starts. The staff will give you shoes. 5. Go to the class. Grab a set of weights on your way in. Set up your bike. If you need help, someone will be there to assist. 6. Get ready for a good workout! What can you expect in the 45 minute classes? ~15 minutes of straight riding (light and heavy resistance, lots of abs and push ups while spinning) ~5 minutes of riding at your own pace and resistance (your time to "reflect on life" with an insprirational song) ~5 minutes of riding with the class ~5-7 minutes of upper body with weights Finish up with one final sprint song Wrap up 5 minutes early for stretching read more

5 minutes late and they wouldnt let me in, after already paying BS. First time trying this studio from the US, busted ass from Nottinghill with an Uber who was late. They told me it's a safety issue, whatever. I know for a fact Flywheel and soul cycle let you in, contrary to what the manager said. Sounds like a bunch of snobs. Not even on class pass, they must not need clients! So disappointed read more

Thought I'd give it a spin! Boom Boom. Here's how Psycle works: 1. You buy credits 2. You book a class online and select a bike. Then laugh at the ridiculous photograph of the instructor and their biog (usually they are also professional dancers or something excitingly fun) 3. You turn up. They give you weird cycling shoes in your size. 4. Once changed - you go to the studio pick up a few weights from the side and then go to the bike you selected 5. Put your weird cycling shoes on and somehow get your feet to clip into the pedals. (This isn't as easy as it sounds but if you put your hand up there is help setting up your bike at this point. Also if you are a newbie remember to ask how to unclip your shoes.) 6. Ogle at your instructor in person 7. cycle and RAVE AND RAVE AND RAVE AND RAVE 8. Do the weight section 9. Rave for a teeny bit more. Then go. Basically Psycle is a bit like a massive club, with ridiculously beautiful instructors, crazy neon lighting and perfectly timed tunes. Only you have to cycle in time with the music for 45 minutes whilst moving around, pressing down occasionally and sticking your bum out every now and again (no different from my usual turn on the dancefloor really). It was energising and a lot of fun. However it focused less on the spiritual and motivational side, and more on the 'lets bounce and dance' side. Personally I have got more in the past exercise wise from smaller spin classes as the class sizes are quite big and very impersonal so you can feel a bit detached. And if you are at the back - like I was one time, you can not see the instructor very well at all. Unlike in a normal spin classes where they might come to your aid if they spot something is wrong, once the class is underway the instructor won't stop to help you out. I ended up accidentally unclipping my shoes and not being able to get them back on the pedals for at least 5 minutes (I know I am a special case), and there was no one to help me. However if it was something more serious, I don't think the instructor would realise that too, given how dark it is and the class size. They could do with having an assistant standing by on the floor of the studio during the classes (they have one at the beginning but they leave as soon as the class starts). Psycle have great changing rooms - with no need to bring any toiletries and towels what so ever - they have it all. Well accept face moisturiser - bring that. I did enjoy Psycle - at points I think I became insanely joyous and giddy with pleasure as the exercise endorphines kicked in, in sync with the music and the lighting. I am not sure I will be going regularly due to the prohibitive cost of each class, but it's pretty brilliant to feel like you've gone to a big dancey rave in your lunch hour. You go back to the office feeling very energised and like you're in on a big secret, Very energising. I'd love to go with friends. read more

I enjoyed my 2 classes at Psycle. The have an introductory "package" Two classes for 20£. There are a lot of similarities to soul cycle (imitation is the greatest form of flattety). The have an amazing clean locker room, with plenty of showers and towels. It does get busy in tbe am with women rushing to get to work... They sell cycle clothes as does Soul Cycle, and just as pricy. The first class I was in the larger studio. Beware of booking near the pole, very difficult to see the instructor. I would say I was not overall impressed with the studio in that it is very dark and a little smelly. I did like the raised bikes in the back row, but again watch when you book and proximity to the pole. I am a very experienced spinner. But I had a difficult time following Fiona. One was she kept the light off above her bike a lot. Or was off the bike and screaming what we should be doing. So betwenn her accent, the screaming and not being able to see her, it was difficult at times. I followed a few experienced riders for the most part. The music is very loud, but luckily they have ear plugs. The second class was with Joe in the smaller studio. A much better experience. He kept the light above him on, was clearer in his instructions and really just a bettet instructor. He gave a complete workout, using the "pushup" moves thst Psycle seems to utilize, but not for full songs, as I experienced with Fiona. Yes the music was loud, but he was easier to understand as he didn't scream. I would recommend attending classes. You will get an amazing workout and feel so much better afterwards. The signup process works wonderfully and you have to be ready to book on Mondays as many classes fill up. I signed up and paid to get my credits. Then booked at a later time when the classes opened. But watch the allotted time frame from paying to booking. The front desk will be ready for you and have your shoes. They also sell H2O. Go for it!!!! read more

Psycle is like nothing I've ever experienced before. I've been to my fair share of spin classes, but Psycle is much different. The studio itself is very nice. It's extremely clean, stylish, and filled with nice little touches. In the women's changing room, they have high end hair straighteners, deodorant, hair ties, etc. A towel is already waiting for you at your bike. They provide clippy shoes for your spin session. The list could really go on! I thought the classes I attended were good as well. It's a whole body workout, meaning you do upper body exercises and use weights during the class. You're on your feet for a lot of the class so I wouldn't recommend Psycle for someone who is looking for a non weight bearing exercise. It's an intense workout, but that's what you should get out of a good spin class. I wasn't a fan of how intense the music and lights were. At a couple points in the class, it was completely pitch black with the music blaring. Why? No clue. At these moments I actually thought I was in a nightclub with some spin bikes. All in all - great spin class. 1 star off because I feel like the classes are a little too big for instructors to give you any attention if something goes wrong mid cycle and it's just too expensive! It starts at £20 per class, and only gets marginally cheaper when you buy classes in bulk. read more

Psycle has been high up on our fitness bucket list for a long time. All over social media fitness fanatics are raving about this spinning studio so naturally we wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Our SeekNPlay wish came true when we were invited by Pscyle to try out one of their famous classes. We couldn't contain our excitement and booked in straight away. The studio is lucky enough to have two permanent locations at Canary Wharf and Mortimer Street. Plus a pop-up at Selfridges which is open until May 22nd. We headed to the Canary Wharf venue to get our sweat on. First impressions of Psycle are that it is like walking into a futuristic universe. Big fans of the simple bright decor, The vibe in the studio is really positive, and the staff were forgiving of the fact that we still don't fully understand how cleats work. We entered into a seemingly normal spinning class before our instructor Kate Knight bursts into the room with bundles of energy, switches on the flashing lights and presses play, booming out Beyoncé's fierce tune 'Formation'. What we need to know is, can Kate come to every workout we do? There is no way you can avoid being motivated when you're around her. She gives it her all, whilst constantly encouraging you. Kate's energy is so infectious the whole room was buzzing. She was also helpful when Beca got leg cramp half way through, but we'll talk about that later. In an instant, the hump-day fatigue starts to fade away and you just start to ride... Unlike a lot of spinning classes that we have attended, Psycle pride themselves on giving you a full body workout. After the warm up, we hit the upper body; press ups, dips, weighted biceps and triceps. This didn't just work our arms but also our co-ordination too. All of these things are easy on the ground, but keeping your legs moving to the beat at the same time is a different thing altogether. A lot of people dismiss spinning classes as they fear that their thighs will become big and muscular, which couldn't be further from the truth. Psycle jazz up their classes by throwing in an upper body and abs workout too. However, both us did feel that the class could have more variation. The tempo of all the songs were quite fast, and it could have been afforded to slow them down at certain points and really rack up the resistance. Just to focus on building strength in the legs a bit more. As self-confessed dance floor addicts, our workout playlists are one of the most important factors for motivation. Psycle know that music is key for a lot of people and purposely choose playlists based on positivity, energy and emotion that you can get lost in. "Our mission is to inspire people to lead vibrant, energetic and happy lives" Pscyle Reading an interview with CEO Rhian Stephenson, she talks about the people who write in to thank the team for helping them through difficult emotional experiences. It's clear why. Before hitting a tough part of the workout, Kate tells us to close our eyes and cycle to the beat of Sia's 'Unstoppable'. Give it a listen, because its makes you feel indestructible. read more

Had a great experience here. The locker rooms are huge, beautiful, and clean. Very nice amenities. Booking is so easy and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The shoes are clean and so are the studios. The workout was agreat and physically challenging. My only wish was to be "inspired mentally" a little more as stated in Psycle's mission statement. Can't wait to return the next time I'm in London! read more

If you're used to SoulCycle, Flywheel, etc., you'll be disappointed. Mediocre facilities, mixed-bag instructors, and overall just not a great workout. read more

Visited from Pennsylvania and went to the studio twice. Each instructor was friendly and motivating. The staff were sweet and helpful. The class profiles were well-choreographed and included a good strength workout instead of just tap-backs. I felt like this was a good hybrid of a Soul Cycle style class and more traditional Spin. Loved it! read more

As a SoulCycle enthusiast and regular around the NYC spin studios (Flywheel, Peloton, Monster Cycle), Psycle didn't disappoint! The instructors were fun, knowledgable, and high-energy (Josh and Marion). Loved the music, plenty of challenging exercises on the bike, clean studio, accommodating staff... would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality spin class (/great workout) in London. read more

Psycle makes Soulcycle look like a joke. Although every instructor has a different style of teaching and taste in music, I always left class dropping sweat and energized. After trying a handful of cycling studios in London, Psycle was by far the best. read more

Upbeat, friendly staff, if you are from NYC and love your soul cycle then this is the place to go to get your fix!

Before visiting London, I found Psycle on Yelp. When i arrived, I was warmly greeted, and received the utmost of service and absolutely loved my experience with Psycle. I rode first with Rhian, who is a powerhouse with excellent song choice, and really pushed me past my comfort zone. Next, I took a class with Sal, who integrated Christmas music, house, and soul in a way I did not know was possible. There is individualized attention, they fit your bike to the T, the place is spotless, and has a wonderful energy. Perhaps the biggest delight was Becky, she was so kind and gave me loads of recommendations for healthy food, juice bars, and simply sharing her insights of London. I will be back to Psycle, mark my words! Thank you for jump starting my holiday and New Year, Cheers. read more

Amazing! They have all the amenities for showering such as shampoo, towels, so you can carry light while doing your thing for the rest of the day without going back home to drop your stuff off. Get ready to sweat! read more

Overall great experience. Just a few hiccups! 1 - I went on a buddy pass with a friend to try it out for the first time. I've done many spin classes before, but never a "soul cycle" type class. The front desk wasn't the most friendly. They assumed I'd know how it all worked and that I should already know my spin shoe size (I'm on US sizing...still learning the conversion!). After being checked in, we made our way to the locker rooms. Really nice! Lots of extras and very clean. I'd actually use these locker rooms! Then you walk down stairs to a dark basement crammed with bikes. The lights are dimly lit and it feels grimy. There were a few instructors walking around helping everyone adjust their bikes and get clipped in properly (nice!). Then the instructor walks in, the lights go dark, the music starts pumping, and the neon lights start flashing. You RIDE! The class was 45 minutes long, but only felt like a 20 minute class - it went by so fast! And the instructor is loads of fun and full of energy. Great overall workout! Afterwards, you turn your shoes and towel in (towels provided on each bike) and head out. They have a smoothie/juice bar available too. Overall, I loved it. But would I pay £20/CLASS for it? Not sure...maybe if I had some great discount. read more

Great facilities and cool classes and the best I've found in london though I've not tried many. Flywheel in the US is better but this is a decent alternative. read more

I recently moved to London from New York and was a bit concerned that I wouldn't find a studio similar to FlyWheel or SoulCycle. However, Psycle is as good if not better as those found back home. There are no monitors on the bikes to tell you what your RPM's are and there are no TV's in the room to track your progress against other riders, but that's all for the better. There's no getting lost in the technology but rather just pure focusing on the ride, the workout and the music. The instructors are top notch and really encourage you to follow along and keep up with the rest of the class. The rest of the studio - par for the course - locker rooms, shoes, towels, staff - all are great. Am definitely purchasing additional credits for future classes! read more

Amazing studio, sometimes hard to book into the class but I usually get lucky with the waitlist.

I'm an indoor cycling instructor in California, so I HAD to come to Psycle since I had read so much about it in magazines. The studio was easy to get to from the Tube. It is big, clean and has a lovely locker room. I believe they have yoga but I was there for the cycle classes. I took two. The first was with Tim. He was funny yet serious. He played great music but as an American, I recognized maybe one song. I'll be checking out hi s playlist on Spotify! The class flew by and was fun. I've never been to London before and had a little bit of a hard time understanding what he was saying but his demo was good and caught on fast. This morning I took Rhian's class. Since she was from Canada, I could understand her a bit better. She focused a lot on speed and arms. I knew a few more of her songs. Her class was also fun and flew by. Neither of them taught a lot like "SoulCycle" but we were still dancing on our bikes, just the way I like it! read more

Studio in Canary Wharf: Good classes but customer service is the worst!!!!! Closed class 2 mins before the beginning and refused to let us go pointing on a clock that's running 5 min ahead. When I proved that the clock was running ahead, said that they don't want to hear that anymore and that I should stop my "circular arguments". Seriously? With this attitude this place will be out of business soon read more
