Although we do not speak French and Aurélie does not speak much English, she made sure we understand what was going on. She was fun and easy-going, but also created a challenging and energizing workout for us. Exercising in the Tuileries was lovely. Highly recommend and will definitely be taking another class when next in Paris.

We were visiting Paris from the United States and decided to take a class here. We both spin…read moresemi-regularly here so we thought, "Why not take a class in France?". It'll keep us in shape and we get to say we did it! INSTRUCTOR: We took with Florian as the instructor and the Dyanmo Encore class. The class was primarily in French which we don't speak, but Florian took the time before class to explain Droit (right) and Gauche left). This was EXTREMELY helpful with both my partner and I not speaking French. We didn't understand the majority of what was being said, but he did a great job keeping the energy up. Other clients were cheering throughout the class, and you could feel Florian's continuous energy inspiring others throughout the class. SPACE: The spin room was very congested compared to what some might experience in the US. My partner could not even slide his seat back because it was hitting the handlebars of the bike behind him. This didn't ruin the vibe of the class, but it was definitely handlebar to handlebar. There were some bright flashes of light during class, but it was mainly stage lighting (white/yellow), and blackout with a lantern/mini light that Florian carried around. The locker room area was wonderful! It had all that I needed so I could come and work out, but still, get dressed back up and get ready to head back to our Air BNB afterward. Over all this was a GREAT experience! The spin room size was the only thing that held me back from a 5-star rating, but that is also comparing it to a boutique cycling studio in the US (so not necessarily a fair comparison). Definitely a place to stop if you want to get your cycling on in Paris.

If you've ever taken a Soul Cycle class or something similar, you will have no problem following along. The format is not exactly the same and in my opinion there is significantly less choreography, but overall a great option if you're wanting to get a workout in and are missing your local spin studio. They let you borrow shoes at the studio and the pedals are Delta Clips only, no SPD option if you choose to bring your own shoes.

I've been traveling for 3 weeks in Europe and came back for the second time to Chez Simone. I had a…read moretrain to catch around 12pm and took an 8am (Oct. 18th) class so I checked out of my hotel and brought my suitcase with me to hold until I was done washing up after class. The tall blonde receptionist who checked me in was nice about it at first but then came to look for me in the locker room twice (persistent much?) while I was getting ready. The class ended at 9am and I had to wait 20min to use the showers bc of the line, just like last time. I had to wait to do my makeup and hair as well bc the stations were occupied and she came in around 9:30 then 10am to talk about my suitcase... the latter check up, she literally escorted me out saying that they had to close the studio bc they were going to clean. When I walked out of the locker room, there were still 4-5 girls who were just waiting and sipping on coffee... they were not even leaving. The receptionist let me to the front and said if I wanted to have a latte I can order but literally dragged my bag outside to the stairway (I followed obviously) the she closed the door on me. That really left a bad taste in my mouth and does not sit right with me. I don't know what her intention was but it was very rude treatment.

Unfortunately, the cons: men's locker room smells strong body odors and like shit when someone just took one, the lockers are weirdly shaped, no soap to wash your hands and in the showers. I did not take a spinning class but but spun on my own in the spinning room: the bikes sucks as you can not go faster than a jog without feeling there is something skipping inside the bike... Poorly designed spinning bike.

The staff are friendly but not intrusive and let you get on with your workout without interfering - which is exactly what I want.

Also quite reasonably priced (presumably in keeping with the awful name) especially if you go for an off-peak package.

The Pros: *The studio is clean, big, and pretty *The equipment is A+ (Balanced Body) *They offer a few classes in English *If you are new, your first class is 30 euros and you get your second one for free. The Cons: *Classes fill up fast! Especially the English only classes. *The one class I took in French, I figured the instructor might help with a little English. WRONG. Even as an instructor, I was lost. I know about three words. I kept my eyes on everyone else. *The Reformer Flow class was too easy and not sequenced properly. I made it harder by adjusting the springs. I wasn't expecting too hard since it was an all levels class but it was too slow and easy. The odd thing about this studio is that there was something eerily similar to another studio where I has been. It took me about 20 minutes to ask why it looked exactly like "New York Pilates". Like...almost identical. Down to the merch they sell and the vocabulary on their website. Very Odd. I would still return on my next visit for classes.
