WOW... I don't think i've ever been called a B.... so much in 1 hour and I'm from NYC! I took my high schooler for a 6pm spin class and I think this teacher taught my daughter every curse word that LTISD has not plus more! MF work harder F'IN, MF this is it!! Look at my Gluteus Maximus It's a snack... I didn't know if I was in the twilight zone or if someone had set me up! I had just been explaining to my daughter and her friends in Cardivas at LTISD why young ladies should present them selves as such ! And I tell you satan showed up and destroyed that lecture! The language that the instructor uses is uncalled for... Who needs such NEGATIVE NASTY WORDS IN A TIME AS THIS!! It was disgusting, useless, horrible horrible, HORRIBLE, unbelievable, I could never and would never take another LTISD student to this establishment! I'm so sorry for introducing a young mind to this filth! read more

Ride Indoor Cycling - LTISD LOVES THE COMMUNITY! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

When my spin studio shut down I was so afraid that I would never find a place I liked as much, or even more. I was wrong! Once I clipped in and the first beat dropped I know this was my new home for a great workout and a rush of endorphins! All of the instructors are motivating and keep you going for more! So happy to have found my new Spin home!! read more

I'll start this by stating that I'm a pretty athletic guy. You would be hard pressed to find a better studio to drop in on. I've gotta give big props to Ali for the gritty butt kicking I certainly got, something I desperately need when I'm switching up my routine. Happened to see that post about her class and wondered how you missed the disclaimer she gives about her language. Would have been a great time to excuse yourself or simply ask her not to ‍. You have every right to leave the class, yet YOU chose to remain. This is a REALLY tough time for everyone, the fitness industry especially. Seems a bit over the top to attack someone's character so publicly without due diligence. A little compassion goes a very long way these days. One conversation could have resolved your situation. Just a thought I'd like to share with you, and the rest of the world. Thank you for reading. read more

I have to agree with Michael's review. I leave Ali's class feeling better about what I accomplished in those 45 minutes. The structure and Ali's style pushes you beyond what you thought you could do. I truly feel refreshed and motivated to continue my workday. Ali takes her riders to a place where we feel welcome to release the troubles of the world behind. I am able to refocus and clear my mind. As far as the earlier post about language use...Ali always offers a disclaimer about the language in the class and respectively will adjust should anyone state they are offended by said language; she doesn't take it personally. I am sure there would have been no problem to leave and ask for a refund. In the least, a conversation would have been ideal. In my opinion, calling someone "satan" is below the belt with the current state of the world. If you were offended then speak to the manager about the behavior you found offensive. Providing someone 1 star for doing their job yet not actually evaluating the exercise provided in a workout class does not really hold weight in my opinion. I hope you find a studio that suits you or at least give Ride another try with an instructor that uses words you prefer. Best of luck in your search! read more

Love this place! It's small, clean, and has some of the best instructors I've seen anywhere. Ali has my favorite playlists and will push you in a good way. My calorie burn is off the charts at her classes. :) The HCG location has just upgraded their bikes, and there is a new location in Westlake that is of the same caliber as HCG. I live in Bee Cave, but work in Westlake, so it's the perfect combo for me. Their class times are very convenient, so I never have an excuse not to go. The app makes it super easy to sign up, even at the last minute. I will try the downtown location one day, but haven't had the chance to yet. If you're looking for good music, lots of energy, and a fantastic staff, this is the place to go. I dig that it's not as big as Soul Cycle, etc. It feels more exclusive with the same bells and whistles. read more

I always pass this place when I go shopping at the hill country galleria . I kept thinking to myself , I'm going to go in and check it out . Like a lot of people , I called in by phone first . The front desk person had a welcoming voice and was able to answer all of my questions. I scheduled my free class and when time came, I went. The studio was super clean and organized. Front desk staff were friendly and a guy staff member really help me familiarize myself with the bike before class started . I like that they have lockers to put your belongings while you ride . My ride instructor was named Ali . She was amazing and made me feel welcomed. She was friendly and I like the way she handled the session . I keep coming back to take her class because she definitely brings an upbeat friendly attitude and great dynamics to her classes. The point : Her classes are always fun !!! read more

JAMES! ALL I CAN SAY IS, JAMES. My first class back from having COVID was with James. I remember going into the class feeling so defeated and behind being that I hadn't worked out in months. This guy has a way of taking every single one of his classes and turning it into something special. It doesn't matter what level you're at you'll walk away from this class feeling amazing. The music he picks isn't basic - you can tell he thinks about everything. Love this class & this studio! read more

Love love LOVE this studio! Ali teaches the most incredible class, and truly makes everyone feel like a part of the RIDE family. I always leave Ali's classes feeling lighter and happier than when I walked into the studio. If you're looking for a high energy, super fun and KILLER workout every time... look no further than RIDE!! :-) (Also, as someone who attended public high school in Austin, I can more than guarantee that your children will hear worse language in the school hallways than they'll hear during any spin class, ever...) read more

I love Ride and especially Ali's class. I get everything I need there--a kick-ass workout, an opportunity to reflect and release whatever it is that's bugging me, friendship, inspiration and unfettered silliness that I might not otherwise give myself permission to feel and express. I've been a loyal RideR for 4+ years and STILL LOVE IT!! I'm a Westlake mom with 3 teenagers and whenever time allows we all go to Ali's class together. Her colorful language is nothing new in today's world and we're all mature enough, including my teens, to know when self expression like that is ok and when it's not. And in my opinion, it's not only OK, but welcomed and embraced in the Ride room. If curse words are offensive to you, tho, simply raise your hand when Ali asks at the beginning of class--is anyone bothered by language. She'll dial it back, no problem! Ride is a place where you can let your guard down, dance on a bike, laugh, sweat, and yes CURSE, have fun and just be yourself without judgement. Ali encourages all these things and leads by example. She is a strong woman, funny as hell (no pun intended) and is the epitome of love, tolerance and acceptance,. She will push you beyond what you think you can do. Ali's words of inspiration always hit home and you will leave her class feeling empowered, inspired and happier than when you walked in. Stick around after, talk to Ali, your fellow Riders and Ride staff. Good people there. Downtown Austin and Westlake locations are awesome too. Come check i it out. It will change your life. RIDE IN JOY NOT EGO read more

Great studio! I thought I had signed up for class but had not and the awesome team member at the front desk very quickly got me signed up and in a bike! The programmable lockers have USB ports, there is a shower and the studio bikes are very adjustable. The instructor I had was great. She gave us a solid warmup before we killed it with a sweaty ride. Upper body on the bike is not my favorite style of spin class but I knew that going in they do this so I am definitely not going to gig them for that. The weight workout was timely and got my arms a quivering in a good way. I would definitely recommend this location of Ride and if you want a second workout, head next door to Barre3. read more

My go-to. Worth every penny. I love spinning, it's so cathartic. The instructors at Ride manage to NEVER make a single class boring, and each one makes a point in getting to know you and memorizing your name, which is a lovely, lovely touch. I LOVE classes with Deb, Ali, and Jess. Great music, great vibes, get instruction, and I always leave a sweaty mess - I mean, why else would I go to ride?! It feels amazing to sweat everything out. Another SUPER cute and nice touch, that I wasn't expecting: the flagship in Houston sent me a handwritten birthday card, wishing me a healthy and successful year and thanking me for being a dedicated Rider. That was just so thoughtful and AMAZING customer service. Ride knows how to make a girl become a dedicated client!! read more

RIDE at HGC is the favorite part of my week! When I decided to try out a free class here I was in the worst shape of my life. I signed up for Ali's class and after enrolling a co-worker told me it was one of the hardest classes in Austin. (Yikes!)I was ready to have my butt kicked. Ali's class was definitely challenging, but I was motivated and encouraged to keep pushing until the end through the fun music and Ali's colorful commentary. After taking this class I knew I could only improve and began to take classes every week. If I only have an early morning I'll jump in at 5:45am with Deb, or if my evenings are free ALI all the way! Spinning at RIDE has made me look forward to working out! To quote Deb "The sexiest thing you can wear is sweat", so come tap back with us! read more

This place is great, it's the first time I do indoor cycling in this new concept, I love it very good experience, the instructor Frank was always leading the way, for my wife it was the second time in she was the one who insist to go over there, I accepted and I loved. I get so good that I'll be back soon. read more

We stopped by Ride via classpass while traveling in Austin. The studio was very nice and clean. It is not as large as studios like Flywheel or SoulCycle but the music and energy was there. I hope they plan to upgrade their bikes in the future so you can tell exactly what level of work or torq you are on. Parking is free and a breeze. It is also located next to Barre 3 and tons of coffee shops. read more

Ride is the best spin studio in Austin. Friendly staff and a clean studio but the real standout which makes this place so special is the team of instructors that make every single class exciting, challenging and they always show up with 100% energy. Every instructor I've tried has been phenomenal so you can't go wrong. Expect an intense butt kicking workout. Your first class is free so try it out but be warned, once you try it, you will get addicted. read more

I have been to their downtown location and decided to try the HCG location because they were running free community classes. It was very difficult to spot the studio cuz they did not have a sign board and so I just walked past them, took me around 20 minutes to locate them after parking my car. Once I got to the studio, it was all great. They promptly handed me a rental shoe and helped me adjust the bike, since I was late to the class. The instructor was as always amazing and I had a great class. They had daily juice's cold juice after class which was really nice. read more

Ride is definitely my favorite workout in Austin. I've been taking classes at Ride for the last 4 months and enjoy it more every time. Ali is an excellent teacher, I always get more out of it than just a great workout. I love her message during classes. read more

This is my favorite spin studio in the Austin area. The studio is relatively new and very clean. I never feel cramped in the room like I do at other studios. I've probably taken more than twenty classes at this location over the past year. All of the instructors are great but Ali is my favorite. She's very sassy and will call you out if you aren't working hard enough. The staff at the front desk is always friendly and helpful. Anytime I am running late to a class they help get my bike set up quickly. I would recommend this studio to spinners of all levels. Make sure they know it's your first class, the instructors are great at helping out first timers. And your first ride is free! read more

I would like to start off by saying I am a workout class junkie/freak - I've done over 1000 classes in my lifetime across all the best studios (Barry's, Fhitting Room, Soulcycle, Flywheel) and consider myself to be in really good shape. I spent 6 years in NYC, the last 4 yrs in SF and go to Barry's Bootcamp like 4-6x a week. I first discovered Ride 3 years ago - started out at their downtown studio and thankfully a location opened up at the Hill Country Galleria which is much closer to family's house. I walked into my first Ride class thinking "oh, it's just another spin class, how hard could it be...." Boy was I in for a shock - it was probably the hardest spin class I had ever been to at the time (with Cole) - lots of various moves on the bike and he moved at an extremely quick pace. I felt like a fish out of water and was like OMG WHERE AM I. It was extremely challenging and I could probably only do like 1/3 of the moves, but the atmosphere was so encouraging and welcoming I was determined to come back. (full disclosure I'm not the most coordinated person either and have no rhythm, so if you are the opposite of me then you should be ok). I have since tried almost all the instructors and they are all SO encouraging and welcoming, my personal favorite is Ali -she is so funny/sassy and is like the energizer bunny, not only that she is serious body goals. Anytime I'm in town visiting family I have to visit Ride, and have dragged many friends/family members with me. It's not pretentious at all, everybody is super sweet, and you get an incredible workout. Highly encourage everybody to check it out. You will be dripping in sweat! This is one of the few studios I'm willing to pay the full drop in class price - that should tell you something :) read more

Ride is my all time favorite group workout! I tried my very first class about 4 months ago and I was hooked from day 1. You can't beat the energy you get from your instructor and the riders around you. I can walk in not in a mood to workout but as soon as you step in that dark room with the music blasting you are ready to kick some ass. So thankful to have this workout in my weekly routine now. If you haven't checked out a class, go now! Instructor Ali is amazing!! read more

I love all the instructors here! The music is usually on point and if you really need to get your booty kicked, I definitely recommend Deb! The front staff is very friendly and the studio is clean. read more

Ride is the most amazing workout i have ever done. I have never pushed myself as hard as i have in ride class! The atmosphere is amazing and the best part about It is coach Ali. She is so motivational and plays great music! Ali sets the most positive tone for my upcoming week after taking her class and I love it. I am constantly smiling and having fun in here! read more

This is my favorite studio in Austin! Great amenities, friendly staff, and awesome instructors! I took a class with Ali and loved it! Super motivational and keeps the class upbeat and excited with her killer playlist. Perfect class for all fitness levels. read more

I am a hard sell when it comes to working out. A friend invited me to Ride MANY times before I took her seriously! I finally decided to try it out and it was a great experience from sign up to walking out. The ladies at the front were so helpful with making sure I had what I needed. The class itself was amazing. After the initial shock of "how the heck did I get here" wore off, I really got into it. Ali kicks your butt, but also is so encouraging and motivating. She helps you to understand that you are stronger than you know and can do more than you thought. She understands that we do not have much time to ourselves where we can focus on ourselves and she encourages us to remove all distractions and stay in the room mentally. She is amazing! I have found my passion and LOVE this place. read more

First, I didn't think I liked spinning. I started spinning this year as a part of my training for a marathon. Second, I really didn't think I liked spinning with speed. Ride Austin changed that. I actually don't even live in Austin. I live in NJ and get to visit the Hill Country a few times a year. I spin at least 2x a week in addition to yoga, running, HIIT. I start planning my visits to Ride before I even get to town, specifically trying to make sure I can go to a class led by Ali. I love her energy and music. It doesn't even seem like working out -- Ali makes it seem like a fun night out until you catch yourself drenched in sweat and breathless. Love her class. Can't wait to get back. read more

I had only taken one spin class before trying Ride (which I hated) but it was on my ClassPass so I thought I'd give it a shot...now I'm completely hooked. SO MUCH FUN. Not to mention a great workout - I'm always dripping sweat when I leave. And the staff is awesome, from front desk to instructors they are all great. I was running late once but didn't want to miss my class so I called and they set my bike up to my settings so I could run right in and jump on. Studio is really nice, as well. read more

First time to the new Hill Country Galleria location and had a great workout/experience. My instructor, Ali was awesome! She really knows how to keep you motivated and working hard during the 45 min class...when your mind and body are telling you to quit. This is my new favorite workout. Highly recommend Ride (HCG) and Ali! read more

Loving this place & Ali for my post baby workouts! After and during class Ali leaves you feeling energized and feeling like you can conquer the world! It's like working out and therapy all in one! Highly recommend RIDE and Ali for an amazingly sweaty good time! read more

Love this studio! They say you have to find something you enjoy to make working out a lifestyle. I can confidently say I'm hooked and loveee RIDE. I go to Ali and JDs classes! They're both so encouraging and always have positive life mantras to say in their classes to help you stay positive! Really great workout I don't usually sweat very often but their classes will make you work!! Love love love! read more

Best workout ever! Every instructor is amazing! For something different try out a theme ride. They are a ton of fun.

Absolutely love this studio! I always book my rides when I'm in town visiting my parents. I love JD's Saturday rides...they're tough, inspiring, and fun. He knows how to kill it! Love the music, the vibes, and all of the friendly faces. Wish I still lived in Austin so that I could frequent this studio. Five stars!!! read more

It's been a few years since my last spin class and I've gone to 4 classes in the last 10 days. I forgot how much I loved it. New Location, Great Staff. My instructor Ali helped me adjust the bike prior to class as it had been awhile, she played great music and helped other students with form during the class myself included. I felt motivated, inspired, and encouraged as well as challenged. I will definitely be back for more. Fantastic fun workout ! read more

Hands down best indoor cycling - Ali is the best trainer there. To me it's all about the music and attitude. Her classes are hard and fun. I drive from downtown just to get her classes. Caprice is my other fave - got get your ass kicked ! read more

So much fun! I dropped in to give Ride a try over a trip to Austin visiting family. I cycle at home in Denver so I have high expectations and Ride did not disappoint. Jess C rocked it with a great playlist and energy that kept us all flying to the beat. I will be back for sure. read more

I just started cycling a couple of weeks ago and chose ride on the recommendation of several friends. I LOVE it. Each class I have taken is different that the next. And each instructor has a different technique of teaching. I have loved all the classes I have taken. Today I had Ali's class for the first time, and MAN was it good!! She pushed us, she taught us and encouraged us. Thanks Ride!!! read more

I took my first Cycling class with Jess C at the Galleria! Amazing...simply amazing! I had no idea it was going to be a total body workout! From the time i walked into RIDE until i left was an extremely positive experience...Thank you! read more

The thought of spinning scares me. I am a yoga girl all the way. But the night before my birthday I decided to start my new year off with a challenge and get to a spin class. I had taken one class at Ride back when they opened and it was with Ali. She KICKED MY BUTT. But I also left there drenched in sweat, feeling so accomplished and light and strong! So to start my next time around the sun right, I signed up for Ali's 9:30 class and drove the 40 minutes it would take me from central Austin to experience that energy again. Ali is so empowering and inspiring. She pushes you hard but always builds you up and cheers you on. Even though everyone else in the studio is a stranger at the beginning of the class you leave feeling like you just accomplished something together as a group...it's like therapy, a spiritual experience and the best night out dancing all rolled into one. I'm so glad I knew that riding with Ali would be the best way to start my birthday! Thank you! read more

This is the most fun I have had working out ever! LOVE ALI!!!! She has the sickest beats! It kicks my booty but it is so much fun at the same time!! read more

Best workout and instructors in AUSTIN. Friendly, challenging and a community for all. Ali is a favorite at the galleria location who keeps you laughing and you never leave without feeling like you got a great workout and happier than when you arrived. Check them out! read more

Hands down best place for indoor cycling. I drive from central Austin because the ladies are soo welcoming. Brand new place and great vibe. I'd highly recommend Aly's class. She was funny, had great music, and overall awesome! I noticed that she helped and included the whole class. She helped me squeeze out my max performance. I felt worked in a good way:) read more
