I had my first in person class here! I've always been very self conscious, especially when I'm not at my best (aka sweating hard, wheezing, struggling HARD while exercising...), so I was a little hesitant to go... BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID- no one gives a DAMN about what you look/how you're performing, and you're all just biking, doing crunches, using the dumbbells to the beat and having a BLAST. I admit, I did look around a lot while I was in the class and I was in sheer awe of how hard people were going and inspired to try my best too. The staff at E63 were super friendly- they helped me get set up and explained the locker situation (which was CHAOTIC, because the way the studio is shaped, which is why I'm knocking off a star- it was stressful). If the staff could encourage the people to go right into the spin studio room after getting changed, it would be less crowded and hectic? My class was with Bryan who had tremendously great energy and a sense of humor- I admit, his music choices weren't really my thing (late 90s~2000s ish pop/rock that I've somehow never heard of? idk) but I appreciated his clear instructions and constant cheerleading- it really kept me motivated and I had a lot of fun. Can't wait to come back! read more

I never do soul cycle back in chicago thanks to my trusty Peloton, but it's my workout of choice when traveling. I did 2 classes while staying nearby at the Ritz in Central Park. I booked Emily's class based on the Yelp reviews, but ended up with Rachel since Emily is having her baby this week. Thanks Emily! Rachel was very upbeat and fun...and got me thru my first 60 min class. 2 days later I enjoyed a Billie eilish vs Justin Bieber class with Scott, which was also super fun. Both classes were probably the least crowded classes I've ever been to at Soul (maybe because a holiday weekend), but I preferred not being packed in with the latest increase in covid #s. read more

Great first class at SoulCycle with Lissa. I enjoyed the class and the push/ energy that the instructor gave us throughout its entirety. The manager was great and helped me with my set up and figuring out how to clip in and unclip from the pedals. The space is just so tiny. I took a class on a Monday AM on President's Day, so the class I was in was very empty, however the class after mine was packed. The locker area/ bathroom were uncomfortably packed. I even caught some shade from people who looked like they were "regulars." Sorry for invading your space? I did enjoy the class BUT the space and the rude "regulars" really changed how I feel about it. read more

SoulCycle E63 - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

Small, cramped space with 2 showers in the locker room. The studio itself is nice just not that big. Front desk staff is friendly enough and it's the closest location to where I live that's currently open. I don't hate it but I do prefer the bigger locations with more showers for sure. read more

I came here for my free class after signing up with Girls HBO with Ryan S. and it was great! Definitely a non-boring way to a great work out. It is a mix between a club and spin class, with the room dark the majority of the time and lit with candles. My class started at 7:30 am and I got there right at 7:30 am. The girls up front were nice to let me in but my friend came at about 7:40 am and she was not allowed in. I would recommend getting there about 15 minutes earlier, especially if it is your first time. That way, you have time to get used to the lockers, use the rest room and have the girls teach you how to use the bike. There are special shoes for the bikes and the rental is $3 each time. However, if it is your first class, you don't have to pay the fee so make sure to mention that it's your first time if it is. Since I was a bit late, the girl had to teach me while the class had already started and we were yelling over the music. I didn't get a chance to ask how to unstrap my shoes so another major inspiration for me to finish the entire workout was that I didn't know how to physically unstrap myself! Ryan S. was great, very motivating! I liked that, even though it was my first spin class, no one looked at you funny or called you out if you couldn't keep up. They are mostly concentrating on maximizing their own work out. Some tips are: -there is a towel at every bike and make sure you hang on to it during the workout. Mine fell a couple of minutes into the workout but there wasn't enough time to unstrap myself and get it without interrupting my momentum and trust me, you will need the towel. - bring at least one bottle of water in with you. -take the time to adjust the seat so that it's comfortable before the class starts. Since I was a bit late, I didn't have time to adjust it and it was not comfortable during certain moves. read more

Attended the Bad Bunny class on Saturday with Madison at 11:45a and I got a great workout in - but music choice was awful. Soulcycle, hire diverse instructors so you can get the diverse crowd you're looking for and instructors that know how to get the music hyped with a great spin sesh. read more

Found my soul @ at Soul Survivor class with Olivia at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. I used to go to SoulCycle sometimes in LA but moved to Denver and there are 0 soul cycles in the state :( Luckily, I was in Ny on a work trip, and I decided to visit a soul class! Olivia was honestly the best instructor I've ever taken. She played great music, said inspirational things... She got us to work hard while taking us on a spiritual journey! I highly recommend this studio!!!! read more

SoulCycle E63 - Found my soul! - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

I love cycling, I love my Tuesdays and Thursdays with Emily BUT this location is TINY and becomes a ZOO with nasty riders who feel entitled to block space sitting and chit chatting instead of being courteous. SoulCycle is a great workout and I am so happy I found out out about it, except that sometimes I have to choose between taking classes or eating for the week because it's so expensive. Emily is the best instructor they have, she makes the whole experience worthwhile! read more

I wrote a review on the 19th st location (which I loved - read here http://www.yelp.com/biz/soulcycle-19th-new-york) but now that I finally settled into my apartment on the Upper East Side, this location is actually the closest. I came with my sister who was visiting from Buffalo as I wanted to show her what a unique workout Soul Cycle is. We took the class with "Love" (her name). To be quite honest, I wasn't a fan. I think it was the combination of a late night out the night before and music that wasn't quite to my liking. I didn't come back to this location (or soul anywhere really as I had kind of put soul cycling on hold). I received an email from Alyssa inviting me back to another class as I hadn't been there in quite some time. I again, somehow ended up in a morning/early afternoon class with "Love". It was on Mother's Day and there were a couple of mothers in the house which was cool. The music was SPOT ON. This time, I absolutely loved this Soul class and danced my heart out. I must have burned a gazillion calories. Soul cycle really IS all about the music. You can't just "wing" a class. You need to do your homework prior to entering a class. Go to their website and check out the instructors playlist beforehand. It really makes a difference. If you don't like a song, you'll likely get distracted and realize how hard you're working so if you take away anything from this, research the playlist of the instructor you plan on going to. Like I said in my 19th st review, Soul Cycle is like a cult. They really should have someone in the back giving free tattoos afterwards but that's another story... I will become a regular once my summer traveling is over! read more

Usually, I'm at the 54th street location or the FiDi location, but came to this for Bethany's SOUL SURVIVOR class with a friend. The location is very similar to all the other Soulcycle locations around NYC (1 studio, bathroom, locker etc) but I wanted to talk about the staff. First of all, Bethany was amazing. She had an awesome playlist and was very high energy and encouraging. Definitely can see why she is a favorite among the Soulcycle crowd and 100% recommended if you want a challenging but incredibly fun class. However, she was so good that I pushed myself to and promptly over the edge -- most likely in combination with the fact that I didn't pace myself properly as this was the first survivor class I took. So yeah. I was that girl. The one that had to stumble out of class as we got to arms because LITERALLY I saw my life FLASH BEFORE MY EYES and my stomach wanted to exit through my mouth. But WOW did the girls at the front desk react quickly. They were super sweet and attentive and didn't make me feel ashamed of myself at all. Shout out to the fast reaction to get me situated and cooled down in the bathroom. Not only were they really nice and encouraging, they also gave me a free pass so I can retry the class--and I'll definitely be back! Thanks 63rd Street for being awesome! read more

I love spinning, especially when it's somewhere fancy and pricy and someone else is picking up the tab. This was the case the night I came here. Spinning is an expensive hobby. I went on a Thursday for a 7p class. My guess is this is considered peak time. It was packed. The locker area was a zoo as those who just wrapped up were trying to remove their belongings while those coming in where looking for a locker. Lockers are free and no locks necessary. Every time I go spinning, I feel like I'm at the club, a good club. Dim lighting, top 40 on blast, and DJ hyping you up. But then my legs and bum start to burn and I feel the sweat running down my back and I remember, this is no club and it's not fun. This is torture. But then my jam comes on and the DJ starts to talk again and I forget once again that my body is taking a bruising. It's quiet the mind f*&*&8. If you're like me and suck at spinning, try to get a bike in the back with all the other sucky spinners. If you're not so luck (like me) you end up looking like the worst kid of slacker next to that gal who goes hard the whole 45 minutes. Overall I enjoyed my experience. Great instructor, good jams, and nice location. read more

No matter what your opinion is of the touchy-feely, "this is your ride, make it worth it" philosophy espoused by the SoulCycle brand, you have to admit -- these workouts kick your ass. I took my first SC class almost a year go, with a friend who was (and still is) an addict to SC. I'm glad I did, because frankly the flurry of activity in the studios as classes transition can be intimidating. I was a pretty regular spinner at the time, and even so, it was impossible to keep up with the cadence during my first ride. At the end of each class I am always drenched in sweat. You definitely get the post-intense-workout high. I take Amanda M.'s classes most regularly. I find her to be less preachy and more genuine in her desire to provide a good time and a serious workout. I like Emily T. as well, a matter of opinion perhaps but I think her classes are harder than Amanda's. That girl does NOT give a single break. I once took her class the day after she ran a marathon, and I am convinced she is a cyborg. Olivia is also pretty good, more resistance oriented and lots lots lots of push-ups on the bike, which I enjoy. It take the focus off of the burning in your legs and instead, towards the burning in your triceps/abs. Though my one critique of SC workouts is that for all of the focus on ab/core, it really does not provide the absolute best core workout. If could be that I'm just not doing it right. This studio is not the most spacious (NoHo is sick!), and only two showers in the tiny bathroom, but the service has always been friendly and upbeat, and I've never had a bad workout here. If that's one thing you can count on with SC, is an ass-whupping. Guys (or anyone, really) looking for a "real" workout should not bypass SoulCycle. Take a class first (your first is *only* $20) so you can see for yourself. read more

I am honestly considering giving up happy hour for a month just so I can afford more soul cycle classes...specifically at East 63rd. The studio layout is a (tiny) bit better than some others (specifically Union Square), but I mainly go to this one because 1) it's close to home and 2) Amanda M's 7:30pm class is AMAZING! I've tried a bunch of different instructors and she really motivates me to push myself harder. The class itself is a great total body work out - arms, legs, and abs mostly. I am definitely feeling pain the day after. You usually do about 2 or 3 songs with a different mix of choreography, jumps, push ups, etc. And then you move into weights, and a few more songs, and stretch..and it's sadly done. But it feels like the best party ever! I know people think SC is overpriced (it sort of is), but I haven't found another class that I love as much, and I've tried a few different ones including barre classes and yoga. All in all, I think it's worth it because the classes are just that good! read more

After a year of being very skeptical and curious about all the SoulCycle talk, I decided to take advantage of the first rider special ($20) and go for it. Was just as bougie as I expected but definitely made for a fun time! read more

Love! The atmosphere makes this so much fun! And seeing the instructor working so hard in the spotlight is really motivating, keeps me pushing. And no gross smell of stale sweat like in most gyms! read more

SoulCycle E63 - Love it, great wakeup workout! - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

Took my first class on Sunday at 8;30am with Nick Pratley! He was awesome! Came home and wanted to take all my future classes with him! Unfortunately, he lives in CA and was only doing a few classes in NYC today! Place was awesome but it does get congested when the class ends and everyone is trying to get in and/or out! Other than that,,, I'll be back with the hopes to having a similar instructor like Nick! read more

SoulCycle E63 - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

Wife had a gift card to use up so we took a nice jog through the Park then ended up at this Soul Cycle. Like most of the other locations, the layout is pretty cramped. But, the main room at this location was bigger than most. Staff was friendly to us "first timers". (We are not first timers but used a different email address to get the cheaper rate. Don't judge.) Their customized candle smells pretty darn good and we thought about buying one - except they were $42. Oh NYC. Also, Love is a great instructor - perfect amount of energy to all types - noobs to the cultish. read more

I've been taking classes since about January at this studio as it's super close to my apartment. I love it! I've tried a number of instructors, and haven't been disappointed yet. I've found that you always can get what you're looking for...a fun class, a challenging classing, or a mixture of the both! I've recently started taking the survivor classes too. Check one out if you haven't yet! Bethany's survivor class kicks my butt every time but I love it. You walk out feeling great. Wonderful staff as well. read more

My favorite instructor regularly teaches here (not disclosing his/her name, spots are hard enough to come by) and it is THE SHIT. The music is way on point, energy is great, and the workout always has me beat and soaked. What more could you want? Yes, it's a bit pricey and the clientele is a bit... Long Island, but a much better cardiovascular investment than 2 cocktails. read more

This is my first time going to soul cycle here on 63rd, and I loved it! Always the Best workout out there. I recommend Rachel W, she is really motivating and fun in class. I don't like the fact that we started like 10 minutes late today. Also, the fact that water isn't free and the shoes aren't complimentary is not cool because the class already costs $34. When you get the shoes and water, it costs you $40. But other then that it's great. read more

first time at this location and was lucky enough to take Gunner's class. I did my research and read her workouts were intense.. and boy she definitely kicked my butt. if you have a chance take her class. She provides a great workout music and encourages the class to push as much as possible. the arm workout wasn't too bad. staff is friendly and this place is pretty clean the only con is that this place gets super crowded when ppl are leaving class and coming in. there's only two restrooms and two showers..? read more

I never go to the Upper East Side unless it's to shop at one of the three B's (Barney's, Bergdorf's and Bloomingdale's) but when a friend and I found Kayla's The Chainsmokers & Kanye West class I figured why not make the trip. This studio is on the casual side of the UES (Lexington Avenue - the line between posh and down-to-earth) and is steps away from the Q, F, N, R, 6 trains. It's almost hard to find but if you're walking down 63rd you'll see it's between the avenues next to the Equinox and across from the MAC Makeup Studio. Walking in you realize immediately that this is one of the smaller locations as the locker area is a classic hallway space with bathrooms and showers directly adjacent. Waiting for the class, you can sit on one of their benches or press your back against the wall. Depending on when you come in you don't have to put up with this for long as the studio room is large and has a lot of space towards the back - perfect for when the class ends and you do your stretches. Although I'm not familiar with all the instructors that are here I took a chance on Kayla and found her to be pretty good. She would be a great fit for anyone who has taken at least 5 SoulCycle classes and likes mixing the Around The World move with Tap Backs. Like most instructors, she picked great songs but seemed to play more TC than KW but made it up for it by doing a somewhat awkward remix of Kanye rapping to a Chainsmoker instrumental. Overall I'd say this was definitely A-OK and based on the instructor or music theme, I'd come back. read more

I'm a New York native that resides in Los Angeles. I've lived in L.A. for more than 15 years and have taken countless amounts of cycle/spin classes all over the city. I was visiting family over the holiday weekend and took Mike Presses class at SoulCycle - East 63rd. His class was by far the best and most fun I've had cycling, ever. The music was eclectic, he had high energy and a fun personality. He came across as not taking himself too seriously and as a result the class mirrored that energy. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes here and would highly recommend his classes and this location. read more

Take Olivia's class! I love her Saturday 11:45 am! Their studio staff is my favorite and the friendliest of all the locations I've been to. I like when the studio room has a crowded intimate feeling which this one does. Only con - The locker area is very tight and the locker rooms/bathrooms are pretty small compared to other locations. It's hard to maneuver getting out after class as the next one is coming in. read more

Just took my second class here and am really really loving this place! I'm not the most "in-shape" person, and this class kicked my butt, but in the best way! I felt great walking out afterwards. I asked for help to set up my bike the first time I was there, and they were extremely helpful. They went step by step to show me exactly what to do so I could be ready for future classes. All of the employees are extremely friendly and attentive. The space is a little small, so it easily becomes crowded between classes. That being said, I am really enjoying how fun and creative the instructors are. read more

I went to Trammel's class. Good music, great vibe, frequently checked us on form and encouraged us to give our best.

For a long time I was hesitant because of the price but decided to finally try Olivia's class earlier this year. I have to say the staff was SO friendly and helpful (moreso then other studios) and made sure my first class went smoothly. Olivia is such an inspiring teacher I recommend that anyone who is nervous about SoulCycle start with her! read more

The instructor and the music was awesome. Staff was friendly. Highly recommend. I have taken several spin classes in the last 15 years and I was told how amazing the class is and I had to try it. It literally the best spin class I have ever taken. The instructor said it was Diva Monday and she was very gifted as a leader and brought tons of energy to the class. read more

I came here for a networking event on a Sunday afternoon. I had never been to this studio but its very spacious, no narrow hallways to get caught up in with sweaty folks. Despite getting an email from event organizers saying we'd have to pay for our own shoes and water, SC gave us all free shoes and water. I definitely didn't expect that. Either way, I had a great ride from Emily L. who played a mix of show tunes and girl power songs. And it was geared for all levels of fitness including seasoned riders like myself - I still found it challenging enough. After the ride, we got to try juices at the front desk. One of which include a watermelon juice. read more

At $40 per 45 minutes it's crazy that they wouldn't include one bottle of water and the WiFi password (come on Soulcycle!). I'm sure this company has a sh*t load of money. Yes, obviously, these classes are for the more privileged ssegment of the population, but it would be nice to feel like you're paying for more just than a spot during class. read more

I've been wanting to take a SoulCycle class ever since I first saw it on TV when the first studio opened years ago when I first moved here..yeah, I'm a procrastinator. The locker area/ladies room: super tiny. The room is packed with too-close-together bikes. The speaker my bike was right under was blasting way-too-loud club music. The a/c wasn't on high enough on a hot/humid day. The instructor was a maniac. She kept the class fun though and in my bad mood on a Friday night after a hellish week at work, her get-the-anger out affirmations worked: "Squeeze the s*** out of the towel", as we worked out our arms in a way I never have before - with a towel. "Pedal as hard as you can thinking of who really pissed you off today." Yeah, that got me moving faster. I loved that the classes are dark with candlelight and lots of free bikes in the last row I could hide on. Don't love you have to pay 3 bucks for shoes each time. (If you can't click out of them, as I couldn't, just leave them on the pedals!) The workers there were super friendly/no attitude. Luckily it was raining out, as I was already soaking wet. Fun class that went by fast. Would I go again? Given the cost, probably would just stick to other spin classes at a gym. read more

Fun as always! I love, love Soul Cycle but don't come a lot because one class costs the same as one month at my gym, haha! Decent set up here though. I came on a Saturday afternoon and had to shower there afterwards. The locker room was a little cramped & hot for showering, which is disconcerting considering only about 1/2 the bikes were full that day. I am sure it's packed during peak hours! read more

Oh SoulCycle, how you have stolen my heart (and money). The staff is always amazing and so helpful! This is definitely my favorite SoulCycle location (and 4 blocks from my house). Trammell's classes are TO DIE FOR! Jo is also ahhmazing! Unfortunately because of my job I can only take "late night" classes, but I have no complaints because all of the instructors are fantastic! Love love love my E63 crew!! read more

One of the less spacious studios I've been to. It gets really crowded when people are coming in for a class and another one is finishing up. But regardless, Soul Cycle is Soul Cycle, so obviously great! I highly recommend taking classes by Amanda M and Olivia here. read more

This morning I took Ginny's 7am class. It was FAB!!! She is a little, kick-ass gal with a Gwen Stefani voice. Great music and she had us dancing all over the bike. This studio is a newer one for SC and it is a great location. There is even a shower (maybe 2?) and girls were lined up to hop in and get clean before work. I love SC!!! read more

LOVE but who doesn't? Only 4 stars because of the price, though I will still remain an avid customer! I loved coming here during lunch, there was always a spot open and it was easy to take a shower. read more

I have never liked spin class. Found it boring and annoying. Soul Cycle is a game changer. Great instructors, great music, and HUGE calorie burn. I use earplugs but it is like a workout in a nightclub. Already have been back three times. Addictive. read more

Love this location! First off, I am a card carrying member of the soul cycle cult. I love it. This location is very big (two floors). The staff here is awesome. So nice, and always happy to accommodate you. Olivia, Austin and Noa are three of my favorite teachers at this location. read more

Love this location! Instructors are great and you can typically get a seat pretty last minute. I've enjoyed all of the classes I've taken and will go back. Soul is my favorite type of spin but I wish they'd do more hip hop classes. Will definitely be back. Front desk at all locations really should be more friendly to people who are paying $34+ a class. They should have some $20 classes sometimes too.. I'd definitely go more often. read more

My first ride here was great. I had an instructor name Nicholas and he was great. I was nervous about riding and how everything worked, but once I received help on how to place my rental shoes on the bike I wasn't nervous anymore. Everyone goes in their own pace so don't be intimidated. read more
