I'd heard a lot about Cyclebar and finally decided to check them out one week during a promotion…read moreperiod where they were offering free classes with giveaways courtesy of other local businesses in the West Hartford area. And I get the hype. Not only is the studio run by plenty of energetic, passionate instructors, but the place's thoughtful touches truly provide you with a quality riding experience. The experience from start to finish is seamless. Everything is top-notch, brand-new and shiny. From the motivational quotes sprawled across the lockers to the plethora of feminine care products proffered in the restrooms to the shoe bin where students can easily dispose of their shoes post-workout, there's nothing more a cycle enthusiast could possibly want. I particularly liked the addition of an arms segment during my classes which was made possible courtesy of the expertly hidden weighted bar tucked beside the bike! The bikes themselves are also very new and well-made, with digitized metrics and a resistance lever that is actually user friendly--extra reason to pull the plug and sign up for a membership. The only downside to cycling here is the parking fees, an unfortunate consequence of taking residence in the Blue Back Area. If I'm already paying a good chunk of change for classes, I'd rather not shell out extra just to park my car during a workout. Still, Cyclebar has forever changed my relationship with the sport and will now be the standard I expect at other cycling studios I try!

Love this place! It's part of my weekly routine…read more Down to earth instructors who want to actually get to know you outside of class. Gaby's playlists are legit the best. The software and app for tracking your progress is great - class rank, calories, and power points so you can compare to yourself or the class. 40 bikes with plenty of room - where you can be seen in the front or hide in the back depending on your style. The stadium seating really helps everyone see the instructor. State of the art sound system is loud and really helps the experience (especially when you compare to other studios). Shoe rental is free and there's good availability of sizes, I've never had an issue. I do wish they had more retail available. I think that's the one area they're really missing out on. They celebrate birthdays, ride milestones, gender reveals like no other! Highly recommend if you're in the area for a class. Your first one is free!

I need to preface by saying that for 32 years, I have loathed the idea of rigorous exercise. I'm…read morelucky to have merciful genetics, I guess. I have tried different things throughout the years in a futile attempt to find "THE THING" that was going to make me want to exercise. Well, everything except zumba, because I just couldn't get down like that. On Tuesday, my sister texted me that she bought a Groupon for Ride+Reflect, and asked if I wanted to go. Then we could go for sushi after. I said yes almost entirely for the sushi, and thought of 50 different ways I could feign illness or injury to get out of the first part of the night. Cut to this very moment. It's Thursday night, and not only did I make it through the Wednesday night class, I WENT BACK AGAIN TONIGHT. You read that correctly: I participated a vigorous physical activity for a prolonged period of time two calendar days in a row. UNHEARD OF. This place is rad. The people are so nice, and NOT what I expected them to be. They are welcoming, chill, not intimidating and genuinely seem happy you're there. They don't make you feel like an idiot, even if you are one. The cycling room itself is set up in tiers, so everyone is a little bit staggered and can see the instructor, who is illuminated by a heavenly spotlight in the front center of the room. There is a mirror, but the lights are dim so you don't have to stare at your purple, sweaty face the whole time. I don't know that I could do what I did in a fully lit room, to be honest. It's all about the music and the instructor, really. And both nights were superb on both counts. It was the first time in my very spotty athletic history that I actually gave 100%, not because I felt like someone was watching or forcing me to, but because I WAS MOTIVATED TO! However, you can take the entire thing at your own pace. When I felt like I was going to puke, I just toned it down for a few minutes and then challenged myself again. I have one more class left on my Groupon, and then I'm going to have to figure out a way to get back here regularly -- even if it means saying goodbye to a kidney. Just kidding. Joking aside, thank you, Ride+Reflect, for opening my eyes to a form of exercise that I don't have to pretend to like and suffer through. Truly, thank you.

I've been to a couple of SoulCycle's throughout my life and this location in Short Hills did not disappoint. Parking was super easy to find since SoulCycle is in a plaza that doesn't get too busy. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful with getting my rental shoes before I went into class. My first class was with Erin at 8:30 am on a Monday. I thought the class would be packed but it was actually the opposite. There were only a handful of us in class and while I thought Erin's routine and music selection were good ... the energy was lacking. As an instructor myself I definitely think if there were more people in the room it would be a completely different experience. ALSO, they left me a really nice note welcoming me back to SoulCycle which I thought was a really nice touch. My second class was with Nicolette on a Wednesday at 6:00 pm and it was jumpin'. When I walked in I was greeted with people with bald caps on haha. SoulCycle is known for doing themes every once in awhile. Little did I know I was there for the Mr.Worldwide ride (Pitbull). The instructor and some of the students dressed up which was a lot of fun. Although this class wasn't full either I was smiling, laughing, singing along and working hard because the energy in the room was high. At the end of class Nicolette gave us such an inspiring takeaway to remind us to keep going ... even when you're not sure where you're headed ... keep going! If you're looking for a high energy cardio workout I would recommend a class. First ride is $20.

I have only been here a handful of times when I am in town but have only had great experiences. As far as the workout/instructors go, AK is a fantastic, extremely motivating instructor. I always leave here knowing I got the best workout in possible. Although these bikes do not have digital tracking, you feel just as challenged as you do after taking Flywheel or Swerve (for those familiar). Would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a challenging (but doable) cardio workout.

I. LOVE. THIS. STUDIO…read more I have never done a spin class up until about three weeks ago when I did a free trial with ClassPass. I have been frequenting the Asbury Park location ever since and have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with spin.

I absolutely love AK and Nicole R, and can't wait to try other instructors too! Highly recommend giving this place a try, because I have found something I never knew I loved and needed so badly. My weeks are not complete without it!

I really like his…read morestyle - he is not one of those trainers who yells at you and makes you feel like a regular fool for not giving him 15 reps when your arms are ablaze and you can no longer see straight. His style is very personable and most importanly, very supportive. He really takes the time to listen to what your fitness goals are and he helps you achieve them. Since I live so far away, I can't train with him regularly, but he gave me some great tips and suggestions that have improved my workouts at my gym. Phil takes fitness seriously and it shows. He will kick your ass in a good way, and he will make you laugh while doing so. Whether you're a die-hard fitness person like myself or someone who has never stepped foot into a gym, you'll be in good hands with Phil. I highly recommend him.

Crazy as it sounds, I now decline happy hours and girl nights just so I can go to the spin classes at R&R. Every instructor is great and they all offer something unique. They all change their workouts, so you never have the same experience twice. Best of all, there is one class, taught by Thomas, that is my absolute favorite class of all times. It is spin/HIIT/yoga. Thomas makes the hour fly by and I look forward to his class weekly. As you can read, my husband scored with this Christmas gift!
