I've taken many spin classes at different facilities and have a spin bike of my own, but this was our first visit to Soul Cycle. My daughter and I signed up for two trial classes in advance and then picked a 7 a.m. Breakfast Club class featuring One Direction. As soon as we walked in, the staff was so kind and even wished me a happy birthday. The amenities were explained and the instructor Jess came over to introduce herself and help us with our bikes. There was even a cute card on my bike to wish me a happy birthday. The class itself was busy but not overwhelmingly full. Overall, we had a good ride, and I absolutely loved the instructor and class community. At one point during a brief cool down, Jess even came over with a candle for me to blow out and mentioned my birthday to the class. Then, at the end, two members of the staff came out with another candle which I again blew out. It was much appreciated! My only cons were the loud music (and I love loud music), which made it hard to comprehend the directions at times as they sounded garbled, and the overly darkened room. Although I like a slightly darkened room, it was sometimes difficult to see what I was supposed to do. However, the staff made it a fun start to my birthday! read more

I absolutely love Corey's classes--He is such a ball of fun! Super encouraging and makes everyone feel at home no matter what level you consider your self to be on. I've used my ClassPass to take at least 4 classes here, and so far I'm loving it. I may end up just getting a soul cycle membership because the credits are kind of high on ClassPass but nonetheless book you a class with my boy Corey--He's the truth! read more

SoulCycle Ardmore - Locker area - Cycling Classes Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

I have passed by this spot so many times and have heard a few reviews but never put much thought into going until a friend expressed her interest in going also. We had a hard time deciding on which class to select so after scrutinizing the schedule, we decided on a class with Jules which was AMAZING! Because I was new I received a courtesy call the day before my actual class, letting me know that I should arrive early and what to expect. As instructed, I arrived early and was guided from check in through the set up on my bike. Everyone that I encountered was very helpful and graciously assisted me each time I asked for something... Last, the facility is clean, well-lit and conveniently located with ample parking nearby. I look forward to returning! read more

Usually, I would give SoulCycle 5 Stars, but today my experience was 1 star. First, the instructor Alexis was 20 minutes late. In the mean time, someone filled in for her and he was terrible. He blasted the music so loud that you could barely here his instructions. When you heard his instructions they were pretty good. The only other thing I liked about him was that he played good music. Finally, Alexis showed up and I was excited. However, she only played house and rap music, which I did not enjoy. I wish there was more variety in the music. Also, she went minutes without giving any instruction, which is unusual compared to my prior experiences. That hindered my workout. She was not even on her bike most of the time. Altogether, I had a very disappointing experience at SoulCycle. read more

Soulcycle Ardmore changed my life. The staff is incredible. The instructors are exceptional. It's a home away from home.

I had Yael for one of my sessions, and she is superb! Even though I'm not into the place for myself, she did a great job varying the pace and different cycling techniques in the routine I attended with her. It was also her father's birthday that day, and he was at the studio during my session with her. Apparently, her parents normally come every year, but her mother was away. Otherwise, her mother would normally be making loud comments to her father about fixes and even commenting in Hebrew during the stretches. Great facility. Took me awhile to figure out that they had two entrances/exits. The crowd here felt nice, but a bit less down-to-earth than the one in the city to me. read more

Although I won't be joining the soul cycle movement, I wanted to share my experience on Sunday 9/9/19 with Keith @ 11:45. The studio is beautiful, well lit & clean. Desk staff is friendly & assisted with setting up my bike. I have my own cycling shoes but they offer shoes for rental and have some for sale. There is also a boutique with varies merchandise. On the check-in counter the provided gum! This is essential for me when working out. The actual room the class takes place in is dark and humid, there are candles lit in the room.The energy level is HIGH. I was definitely intimidated the sequences are high paced and choreographed. I went at my own pace in a effort not to affect my shoulder injury. I removed a star because the bikes don't provide you mileage cycled. As someone who cycles multiple times a week I strive to do a minimum of 20 miles per session, not being about to see my accomplishment was disappointing. The music selection was good, a nice mixture for the crowd in the room. Keith was a great instructor. He rode the majority of the class. Kept the energy high. At the end he allowed 2 people to blow out the candles. The lockers and bathrooms were impressive. No l read more

No workout like SC for me. This is kind of a hike for me to get to personally, but always worth it! I've never had a bad instructor, but theme rides are particularly good here. High recommend!!! read more

I have been a spinning enthusiast for about 19 years now but just tried SoulCycle for the first time (I know, late to the party). First the positive stuff: as other reviewers have mentioned, the studio and the staff are personable and friendly. The bikes are great: clean, in good condition but also the style of indoor bike I prefer. This studio uses the (larger) delta clips not the (smaller) spd clips that most studios tend to use these days. I have both types of clips but prefer the delta. They are more secure yet typically have a little "float" to allow for optimal leg/foot position. The SoulCycle bike didn't really allow for the "float" but fortunately, I didn't end up with any leg pain afterwards. I liked that the staff wandered around the room to help people with their bikes before class started. The things that I concerned me are all around safety: The instructor didn't ask if anyone in the class had any injuries or last minute setup questions. He didn't mention where the "emergency" brake was if anyone felt out of control. He didn't explain how to incorporate the resistance knob into your workout, perceived exertion. There were a few folks in the class who raised their hand as "first time taking a cycling class ever" but he gave them no extra instruction on how to stay safe. When class started, we were out of the saddle for pretty much the entire first half of the class with "push-ups" (already well documented how really adds no extra value to your workout but risks safety) without instruction on how much resistance should be on out of the saddle vs in the saddle. No instruction on the proper out of the saddle form. This is very unsafe for first time riders. For the mind/body connection part that SoulCycle is supposed to be known for: Sorry, I just didn't feel it. I have taken many non-SoulCycle classes over the years where the instructor hit the right balance but this class just didn't bring it. The "introspective" aspect is the main reason I wanted to try SoulCycle. I did leave the class sweaty but that is mainly b/c I am experienced and know how to properly incorporate resistance into my workout but also b/c the room itself was warm and he never put the fans on. Sorry, I wanted to love SoulCycle. The facility, bikes and shoes are awesome, the instruction is what fell short. read more

Came with the team to go workout. It was my first time at SoulCycle. Dancing on your bike, indeed. The session is 45 min long and honestly didn't feel that long since you just focused on the music and the beat. The facilities feel new and clean. Received a very warm welcome and introduction to how the process worked. There are even some hair ties and bobby pins available complimentary. Didn't realize that absolutely everything, including phone, goes into the locker. The instructor was very upbeat and the cycling room had a party vibe to it. Recommend bringing a bottle of water. Following the experience, I got a follow up call the next day asking how it went. Overall, thought it was a very interesting experience. Only feedback I would have is it would be nice if we did group stretches and warmup to ward off the soreness. read more

There's spin and there's SC! Wow, what a fun and exhilarating experience! Today I was fortunate to be the guest of a friend and got a complimentary ride, pair of shoes, and bottle of water. Sabine did an excellent job of setting the tone for us newbies at the beginning and gave clear instructions throughout the ride. At one point my water bottle fell and I had to unclip to grab it. I didn't know how to clip back in and missed a whole song trying to figure it out. I realized that I was attempting to clip in using the wrong side. Duh! Now I know! It was probably for the best as it gave my body and lungs a slight break from the insane workout. I loved how we not only got a killer spin workout, but we also worked our arms/back using light weights. If you're a SC virgin, know you'll be treated like VIP at this location and no question is stupid! You have to rent/wear their shoes, they supply towels to soak up your sweat, the lockers have built in locks, and they supply shampoo/conditioner/body wash. You sure get what you pay for at SC! read more

SoulCycle Ardmore - August 5, 2016. - Cycling Classes Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

My friend and I were turned away from orange theory and SoulCycle welcomed us with open arms. They offered a safe and inclusive space which made me feel comfortable working out for the first time in 2023. All of the staff at the front were so embracing and helped curate a personable experience for our first time here! We were fitted for shoes, and given a full walkthrough before the start of the class which was very helpful! Keith was our instructor and he was awesome! He truly motivated us during the workout session and we really had an awesome workout! Thank you again SoulCycle Ardmore! Keep up the great work, will definitely be returning! read more

"I've heard SoulCycle is like a cult." Yeah. Basically. After my first class, I bought a $65 tank top and considered myself part of the "tribe." But hey, if you're going to join a cult, might as well join one focused on bettering yourself and your body (and one that meets every day of the week for a sweat session with amazing jams)! I've been to a few different SoulCycles across the country and they're all great! It's the perfect way to kick off your weekend on Saturday morning or blow off some steam after a long day of work. The facilities are immaculate. The staff is incredibly friendly, motivating and helpful. When you're paying top dollar for a workout class, these are my expectations and SoulCycle Ardmore delivers. They offer a discount on your first class, so go check it out and I garauntee you'll leave with a piece of expensive swag and be online booking your next class ;) read more

SoulCycle Ardmore - Cycling Classes Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

I have been attending Soul Cycle for almost 7 months now, and it has become a HUGE part of my life! I have lost over 30 pounds and I am continuing to lose weight. My body has changed dramatically and I feel better than I have felt in years. Not only has it been great for my body, but it has been great for my mind as well. Even if I walk into class in the worse mood ever, I walk out so happy and smile my whole way home. I never thought that I would get so excited about working out. It may sound ridiculous, but I plan things around my Soul Cycle classes. ALL of the instructors are amazing and you literally cannot go wrong with any of them. They all offer something different and have their own flare. Check out the schedule for special theme rides, which make the classes even more fun than they already are! If you're a musical theater geek like me, there's now a broadway theme ride once a month with Ryan. read more

Went to a theme class for my first ride ever. The instructor kept everyone feeling super comfortable. I have never sweat so much in my life. Will 100% continue to take spin classes in the future. Wish the pricing was more affordable. read more

I received a free group ride so took advantage with some lady friends. You know, healthier than margaritas and chips! I seriously though my I would HATE it but I was so sweaty and knew I had a good work out so decided to try it again. I've gone back 13 times now and have to say, even though I'm definitely the chubbiest girl in the classes and possibly the only one not in lululemon, I really like it. The work out is excellent and efficient. In and out in 45 minutes after a great calorie burn. It's also helped me find fitness deficiencies - in strong but need to gain endurance. I can't always keep up, but I try my best and that's all I can do. But I never feel ridiculous in by lack of coordination. And the spirituality? I ignore it. I'm not on a journey and my life isn't a hill. But I appreciate that some people need that motivation. I love Ryan's class - he's a genuinely happy guy and his attitude is infectious plus he has the best music. I also regularly take Elyse and Bryant. I'm looking forward to trying Nick's class soon enough. Downsides are cost and number of teens. Which would normally be fine but they come in groups and take a lot of selfies. It also feels like a fashion show much of the time with other women in the latest fashionable sports bras for class. Pro: lots of classes to fit various schedules. I always feel welcomed. I'm the least likely soul cycle customer but I always feel welcomed by staff and other riders. Update...215 rides later, I guess I'm a bit addicted? I LOVE Nick and take his 6am classes whenever I can. I wish Bryant would teach more than one class in Ardmore 4:30 on a weekday? No bueno for many people with kids. I do sometimes feel like Rittenhouse gets all the fun (no Challenges in ages!) but whatever. Everyone in yellow is genuinely decent and I'm fond of them all. And I really like the dedicated roosters I've come to know and ride with. read more

Before you get started and this is coming from someone I know who is a devotee of Soul, but I can't highly recommend downloading the app enough if you have an iPhone. You'll learn everything from setting up and preparing for your first class. This is important because this is a choreography based routine with weights and a stretch all on a bike - although no one is judging you or timing you here. But knowing how to clip in and set up your bike will prevent injury and ensure your best ride so by the time that 45 mins is over, you'll want to go again...just not right away. This routine will humble even the most avid athletes but it's not impossible. Don't throw your ego into it and you can do it. You'll be sore but they stock the best water or take your own. And don't turn down water if they offer it to you. It's better than dancing in a club with a few drinks in you - but here, you're high on endorphins grooving to mainly most of today's hits and occasional throwbacks... depends on the instructor's vibe. If you have an Android, the app unfortunately isn't available for you but the staff is incredibly kind and patient with helping you get set up, using the lockers/keeping your things secure and getting clipped in. There's one time I was stuck in traffic on the turnpike, called ahead to the Ardmore studio that I was going to be late and one of the staff kindly told me not to worry and they'll handle it. I had to move quickly though once I arrived, but I was pleased that they helped me get my locker and clipped in for me so I was ready to catch my ride. Showers are immaculately clean and always stocked with LeLabo now, towels and Drybar hairdryers. The Soul workout gear is also designed with the best technology and worth every penny too. It's a total body workout. It's cycling, strength, dance and yoga in one so prepare accordingly. You can get results doing this - I've seen my devotee friend get chiseled abs and others getting into it and losing weight. Drink a ton of water and plan a good meal afterwards. If you're new or shaky on the choreography, start with 45 minute workouts before working your way to a 90, survivor or activate. And start in the back. Front row, well... you'll know when you're ready for it. And as for the podium? Ride with your fave instructor long enough and you'll both know too. Wait lists here aren't as common here so you can more than likely get in on most days. Some of Ryan's classes have a waitlist which can be a little more difficult to discern without the app. Denita and Ryan are great, though Denita's moving out of Philadelphia soon. Ryan's energy is all over awesome and usually does a generous round at both the Ardmore and Rittenhouse studios for Philly. I'm pretty sure the others are just as wonderful. Like Pikachu, you gotta catch'em all! Have fun and enjoy! read more

First timer with Yael this morning and it was a great experience. Staff was super friendly and helpful getting me set up and followed up with me after the class. Yael was very engaging and energetic and made it a very enjoyable workout. Studio is very clean. Only downside is that it's a little expensive to go regularly, but will definitely treat myself occasionally to classes. read more

I started here on the 1st day it opened and this facility is fantastic. Everyone from the staff to the instructors are so welcoming and friendly. The facility is super clean and the bike room is always reset and cleaned up nicely between classes. Ryan's class is phenomenal, btw! A great full body workout and super motivating and I've lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks! read more

I was in town visiting from LA this past week. Rode at both Rittenhouse and Ardmore with Bryant, Keith, and NICK TURK (twice). Both studios get 5 stars and I'd give them more, if I could. The staff was phenomenal in Ardmore. I've seen messy and chaotic SoulCycle studios, and this is not one of them. They are on top of everything. Class started on time. The energy was mellow rather than panicked. Great work. I HIGHLY recommend all three instructors. The energy in every class I took gave me the chills. SoulCycle has the schedule and instructors down to a science, so you really can't go wrong with anyone. However, you have to take these three guys if you can. Keith has a personal training background and he's strong as hell. He grew up with the infamous L.A. "Chris P." and they have very similar styles (which is a GREAT thing). Bryant loves to climb and use the resistance. He plays great music and incorporates a lot of hip-hop. I worked my butt off in his class and he motivates you to push past your perceived limits. And Nick Turk is a super star. I fell in love with Nick's personality and his class, so I added on an extra day of riding to come see him again. Nick is very confident and knows how to own the room. He's unapologetically himself. He's warm and inviting, and very motivating. His class is so challenging that it made me gag from over exertion. We had a noise making competition in class. He likes to do run way walks before weights. He is a DREAM. read more

Pros: Pristine and clean facilities. There's nothing like them. The staff is friendly, and the instructors are great. However, your experience depends on the instructor, their playlist, and your own energy! Each instructor has a different style that you may or may not like. Personally, I think Sabine is the BEST by far. But, they're all great depending on what you like to do and listen to. The community feel is great. Cons: It's pricey. You get what you pay for if you make the most of it, but this will eat away at your bank account because it's addicting! I wish they had 7am classes. Sometimes the front desk staff can be a bit loud and crazy with each other around the studio, but overall great customer service. read more

Expensive but SO fun.! All of the instructors are great but Nick is my fav. His class is the most challenging but he's also the most caring. Makes a point to make everyone feel comfortable, especially newbies! Studio is new, super clean and everyone is very friendly. read more

Loved my first Soul Cycle class-I took my first class with Sabine and WOW, she's an amazing instructor. She was motivating, inspirational, and her music really set the tone and energy of the class. I have never taken a class like Soul Cycle before and something about 20+ women riding to really great music really lifts your spirits. There is something truly unique about Sabine's motivational style of instructing that you have to experience to understand. I'm sure I'm not the only fan girl! The staff was really helpful in helping my friend and I clip into our bikes and making sure our bikes were the appropriate height (Thank you, Corey!). They even log in our bike adjustments into our account so they (and we) can remember for future classes. Shoe rentals were complimentary for our first class and towels are provided. Studio is absolutely beautiful and clean. Lockers have combinations that you can set yourself AND there are USB ports in them so you can also charge your phone! There are showers for men and women as well. After one class I am hooked. I am going to purchase a 3 class package and I'm already eyeing the apparel in the lobby to rock out in my next class. read more
