The staff and instructors are welcoming, helpful and positive. I really appreciate the encouragement and positivity, it makes you want to go to class because you leave feeling mentally uplifted, in addition to the physical benefits. It is a challenging workout, you will burn calories and leave sweaty. They are very welcoming to getting beginners set up on the bikes, so if you are thinking about it, just give it a try, you won't regret it. (They've taken covid precautions very seriously and I feel safe working out here. There are plexi partitions between each bike.)

Can't believe I am the first to review! Took a Rhythm Ride class with Melissa and it was super fun…read more I bought a new client pass for $30 so I can go 3 times. It was a little hard to find since there isn't a sign outside the building. It's in an office building type of area, and shares a bathroom. So if you wanted to shower afterwards doesn't seem to be an option. They also don't give you towels, which i always need. The team was very welcoming and checked in on me to make sure I was oriented. I was introduced to a few people which was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the class and look forward to the next one!

While the classes book up far in advance, I've never had an issue getting off the wait list. The studio is very welcoming. The owner, Elizabeth, makes a point to get to know her customers by name. I appreciate the variety of clientele as well. There's all different ages, body types, genders, etc. I've never felt intimidated in a class by the other participants. The prices are also incredibly reasonable and I've been able to get good deals by being subscribed to the newsletter. The "SHRED Shorty with Weights" with Caitlin is an intense class. It reminds me of SoulCycle, but way harder. I've taken Caitlin's non-weight classes and have also had my butt completely kicked. I've taken a Pilates class with Amanda and it's been on my to-do list to return to because I loved it so much. If I ever move from Quincy, I'll be sure to return to SHRED whenever possible :)

Every staff member I've encountered has been super helpful and friendly, and the coaches are incredibly enthusiastic and motivational! Going to the gym can be monotonous, but this place has a really good mix of class offerings that keep the workout challenging and FUN!! The app makes finding and signing up for classes simple too... It's also exceptionally clean and they've thought of everything, from earplugs and hair ties, fully stocked toiletries in the shower/bathroom areas, coffee, fruit and my personal favorite: Friday afternoon happy hour- ice cold Coronas after class! It's not cheap, but it's not your average "gym" and it's totally worth every penny!! I literally tell everyone with earlobes they need to try it out!

Glad we have such an upscale spin studio in Salem.

Overall an awesome little spin studio!…read more A few positives: - The workouts are challenging, but they walk you through how to tailor it to your fitness level by modifying the resistance at the beginning of every class - The bikes and classes are both numerically based, which is awesome for making sure you stay on track and push yourself. What I mean by that is that both the RPMs and resistance are displayed as numbers on the bike. At the beginning of each song the instructor will tell you what RPM number to target, and what level of resistance you want to aim for - The instructors are awesome with people who are new to spin, new to the studio, or (like me) just really bad at setting up their bike. - Compared to a lot of other places, they're pretty affordable. If you follow them on social media they also run periodic sales where you can sometimes get a small pack of classes for $10-11 each The only real drawback is that sometimes the music is so loud it's hard to hear the instructor over it. That happens pretty rarely though!

Lots of class options at different times and a good variety of music and themed classes. The coach (Alexander) was great. The workout was well-structured and had a lot of options to modify and challenge yourself during the workout. The inside of the gym was clean and they have complimentary shoe rentals that you can wear if you don't have your own cycling shoes. I really appreciated this, unlike other cycling places that charge ridiculous fees for them. I loved that there were smaller class sizes (like 20 people) compared to other cycling classes I have been to that cram 40-50 into the room. The smaller class helped me feel more connected and present. The instructor can actually see everyone in the room too, so it helps feel more friendly in my opinion. I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back to Handle Bar over other cycling classes in the area. They also have discounts on classes and memberships for students, teachers, medical workers, and military, which is a great perk too!

The winter weather has been cramping my ability to run outdoors, so I decided to try HB! I've been…read moreto spin studios in the past and I was glad that this place met my expectations! Definitely a fantastic cardio option in Fenway! My first class was a Sunday morning class, and along with the sensory experience of the music and the light changes, the energy of the instructor and the class goers was CRAZY - definitely woke me up! I was surprised at how full the studio was (only 3 empty bikes). The 45 min class is choreo style, meaning you have a leading leg, ride to the beat of the music, and there's movements (e.g. 4 corners, tap backs), with about 5 minutes of arms using a weighted bar (it seems like everyone has the same bar) and stretching that begins 1.5 min until the end. The bikes don't have a monitor on it, nor a numeric number for resistance, so you follow the instructor's cues for how many turns to add on / go by feel. Pros: - Some of the most hype instructors I've seen recently! A++++ - The studio provides the cycling shoes! A++++ - Every bike has a towel on it! - Riders don't have to wipe down their equipment after (I think the staff does this), so it makes it easier to leave the studio. - Water fountain, ear plugs, hair ties, bobby pins, etc available Cons (minor): - For first-timers, it was hard to flag down a staff to help with setting up the bike because the studio was so packed and busy. - The studio is sort of small - the bikes are very much packed against each other and the hallway where people change their shoes and put stuff into lockers is narrow and gets very crowded. - Only two classes on Saturday and Sunday. Note: masks optional but vaccination required, so ride at your own risk

After a hiatus of a few years, I started attending weekend classes with a friend, and have had a great time. FireCycle has a sense of community that other studios just don't - the instructors (especially Jordan and Tim) are amazing humans who take the time to get to know and support you, no matter what level you're at. The music choices are always great, the studio is always clean, and I feel great during and after classes. The studio is located directly across the street from the Crescent Street municipal parking lot, and there is usually street parking as well, which is great for someone who drives in from Cambridge every weekend!

This review is long overdue! I recently moved up to the North Shore and had to look for a new spin…read morestudio. I have tried two studios so far and neither comes close to The Handle Bar! The energy that the instructors at the HB bring to each and every class cannot be matched at these other studios. If I'm going to wake up to go to a 6am class I need the energy that Jill and Candice bring to their 6am classes, not an instructor that's half asleep with a terrible playlist and awful choreography. The instructors at the HB will kick your ass but are also super motivating which is hard to find at other studios. The other studios that I've been to do not have the amazing sense of community that the HB has. The environment is so welcoming--everyone from the front desk team, to the instructors, to the people riding next to you are willing to lend a helping hand and support you in and out of the studio. If you are lucky enough to have a Handlebar studio in your neighborhood, I highly recommend trying a class!
