I heard about soul cycle online and always seeing celebrities going to their classes. It's pricey, but so worth the first time ride! They give you a 10 dollar discount for your first ride! You have to call the studio directly. Let me just say... The CLASS AINT EASY. But so worth it. I had Danielle as my instructor and she was so motivating and supportive especially since I could barely keep up. I met her after the class and she was incredibly sweet. No need for memberships! Amazing. Make sure you come with water, you'll also be sweating A lot! They sell bottle of smart water for 2 dollars. There are lockers available. Enjoy!! Definitely recommend. read more

SoulCycle Pasadena - Danielle is the best and sweetest instructor ever! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been spinning quite a bit and decided to try Soul finally with friends. My regular studio is Aura in WeHo and I love it there and the instructors but SC has such an insane reputation I was super stoked and nervous to come. The popularity of SC is insane, many classes were fully booked up and my friends and I had a challenging time to find a class that could accommodate all 3 of us. The really nice thing about this was the service and ambiance. First off, their website works well, and it doesn't ask for your future firstborns social security # like some other places do. It's obviously very pricey at $30/class normally so there were 4-5 people all checking in, helping you set up your bike, etc and overall making you feel welcome. I dipped into the restroom really quick and it was very well stocked with lotion, hair ties, hair pins, deodorant, etc. I also noticed their towels were slightly larger than what I was used to and nice and thick. The space was clean and bright and just overall well maintained. The studio was nice, the bikes are straight lined up behind each other so that was interesting but the podium is visible from any bike position. The candles were my favorite touch, the famous grapefruit scent was pleasant and the lighting they provided made the whole podium picturesque. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed by the instructor, I usually take 5-7 classes a week, love to rhythm ride/spin, etc but I didn't find the class challenging. I keep track of my workouts with my fitbit, tracking my average hr, max hr, calories burned, etc but I definitely worked less hard. Part of the problem was the bike, because you could tell it was a bit older with use, I'm used to riding on a Stages bike which is the one you find at Equinox, etc. After getting so used to using a sprint shifter (a clicker that lets you go light, mid, heavy with resistance without turning the knob so much), it was cumbersome to use the knob so much, the resistance knob wasn't very smooth and I also found the cues pretty light as well. There was also very little structure to the class like sprints or hills just instructor cues. I was also expecting quite a bit of choreography but there was none. My friend who considers herself out of shape and has never been to a spinning class was pissed the next day because she wasn't sore and she was surprised that the class ended so quickly without her feeling like she got a great workout. All of this would have contributed to an A-OK experience but I kicked it up because of the positive attitude that SC inspires out of people, everyone was so excited to be there and friendly and that vibe made a big difference in the experience. Parking is a bit confusing, no info on the website, apparently they validate by the Shopper's Lane structure though. Location is great, it's right next to Philz, Lemonade, etc. I got a 3 pack starter kit so I'll try other studios, instructors, hopefully I can find out the hype that everyone's crazy about. read more

I love this place. All of the employees are super nice and helpful. My favorite instructor left (Dani) and now I'm playing the field. I have not found a suitable replacement yet but I've also only tried three instructors. This place is definitely a good vibes only kind of place. This is a great place to come to lift your spirits. I really like the ear plugs. I noticed that I'm getting sensitive to loud sounds. My problem is easily solved by grabbing ear plugs. I can still hear just fine. I also like the water fountain and showers. I can bring my own water bottle to fill up. If I plan to go out after my workout, I can grab a quick shower first. The ladies locker room is always clean and well stocked. My wish is that there is a better system in place to learn about the types of music each instructor will play at each class. Maybe even posting the playlist. read more

Visited SoulCycle Pasadena during my trip in LA. Studio is not facing Main Street so you might want to arrive early to find the place if it's your first time. The studio is behind Williams-Sonoma and there are other cute stores/restaurants around. Studio offers validated parking in the garage not the open lot adjacent to the studio. Locker space is a bit crowded so could be a bit hectic if you arrive when the last class gets out. All in all, I still enjoyed the class very much, and the shower facility always a great plus! read more

Just gave their spin class a try for the first time and I loved it. Clean location, nice showers, and the gear is well priced. The staff were excellent. Nothing but positivity and encouragement. I'll definitely be going back in the future. read more

SoulCycle Pasadena - Just discovered this place. Great for bicycle gear - Cycling Classes Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been going to SoulCycle since September and am totally addicted to this workout. The dark room helps you to really focus in on the workout without being distracted by your surroundings. I love taking classes with Molly and Jake. They usually teach at the times I am able to attend. The downside is that this workout is significantly more expensive than others in the area. I don't see it as a regular type workout unless you are willing to drop a lot of money on it. read more

SoulCycle has a serious unethical business practice. Passes expire after 45 days! Be very careful about buying this as a gift for someone or purchasing for yourself. I have a job, a daughter, and family members to take care of and I can't make it in on a regular basis. To think that I could spend cash and then have that money "stolen" from me for not using my pass within 45 days is despicable and an outrage. I will never purchase another pass from SoulCycle again. This is a horrible business practice, this is just an excuse to rob people blind who haven't had a chance or the time to user their cards. If I were a lawyer I would be forming a class action lawsuit. Hopefully this goes down the same road that gift cards have gone. Gift cards cannot expire and in the state of CA. must be able to be redeemed for cash. Outraged! read more

I love this place! Was introduced by one of my girlfriends and I'm addicted! You really get a great workout when you sweat a lot and best thing about it is everyone is pushing. Great motivation especially under up best music! I love the Sunday class with Danielle cuz she has some hip hop and TRANCE which are the best type of work out music when you just wanna sweat it out. It's also a perfect date with ur girls cuz the location is right next to a bunch of restaurants so you can get brunch (fav spot: the delicatessen-Japanese bento box) it's right around the corner. I've brought many gfs here and they all loved the healthy day out! People here are all helpful and nice with lots of positive energy read more

I admit I was drinking the haterade at first. I'd given SoulCycle a go a couple of times and the stationary bike thing just didn't do it for me...the music was totally my speed, the instructors every bit encouraging and motivating, but the actual physical activity wasn't making my muscles do a happy dance. That was...until I cycled at the Pasadena location. I don't know what buttons they pushed or how, but they turned me on to the cult/club/society/family that is SoulCycle. I've done it a few times at this particular location with Chris and he gets at it from the start, with a lot of out of the saddle riding and core work. I have found I am very "pro" those things. The staff at the front is always friendly and ready to outfit you or answer any questions you may have without an ounce of irritation or attitude. The facilities are as clean as a whistle and I love the extra do dads in the shower/bathroom area...they come in handy if you forgot any of your own toiletries. I'm not a complete convert (meaning I wouldn't make it my sole workout routine), but I do find myself there or wishing there was a SC in any city I'm visiting. read more

What is SoulCycle -- .....it's a cult, isn't it? I was joking all week that I'm going to sell my soul to SoulCycle, and join Cycle-cology like how all the celebrities pay $$$$ to do. But to my surprise and thanks to the wonderful Susy C., I was able to try my first SoulCycle experience and had a pretty intense 45 minute work out! We had Danielle as an instructor. She had her list of music on the website and we reserved our seats online as well. She played Kanye and Mumford & Son's, which I thought her music choice went well for peddling. The candles in the cycle room smelled really grapefruite-y and awesome. But it really is a TOTAL production. Danielle dims the lights, gets off the bike and dances/pumps people up/helps with technique, turns up the music, turns down the music, blows out all the candles. It is really a production, so props to all the instructors!! I took advantage of their shower facilities; shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, FREE HAIR TIES (um, I always forget mine and have a stash in my car, thanks very much!). All was awesome. For scale, I am a borderline gym rat. I visit a ton of 24 hour fitness on a 5 times/a week, and am somewhat athletic. I was sweating my ass off and sore the next day! Success! In terms of SoulCycle being borderline "Cult-ish" I mean, the "encouraging" phrases from the instructor: "No one outside this room loves you like we love you...." "You make my job so incredible, I have the best job in the world....." Felt a little eerie, maybe I'm watching too many (scientology/heavensgate) documentaries. 1 star deduction because I don't believe in paying $33 a class (including shoes) to exercise. BUT, if you do want to switch up your daily route (there are plenty of ways to do so, by the way), SoulCycle is the high-end designer way to do so. read more

Being a SoulCycle junkie, I'm hard pressed to ever find many flaws. In the case of this Pasadena location, it's just another in the long line of fantastic places to tap it back. The location is easy, they locker rooms are big enough to change/shower without feeling like you're in everyone's way, and they'll validate your parking in the back so you don't run the risk of getting a ticket at the hour meter on the main drag outside. They make it quite easy to eliminate any hurdles that might get in the way of your body + mind strengthening. Live in the 'hood and looking for an easy, yet addicting workout? Make it happen. read more

Went to my first spin class ever today, found everyone at SoulCycle super helpful except the instructor. Her name was Neka and she failed to clearly explain anything during the next 45 minutes, at one point during the class she kept screaming, "ISOLATION" at me over and over again like that was finally going to register and I was magically going to figure it out. At the end of the class I felt cheated because 45 minutes is half the time of my Bikram yoga classes; 1 class is also nearly a third the price of my monthly unlimited membership. In summation: the studio is super cool and flashy, my teacher was a crazy, it's expensive, and I'm not sore. I'll see all my friends at sweaty yoga tomorrow. read more

I absolutely love the everything that SoulCycle embodies! Just upon walking in, the atmosphere is feels so positive and therapeutic. All the staff members give off a very friendly, helpful and caring vibe. Their service is top notch and they keep the place squeaky clean. It makes me feel so at ease and stress-free. When I went there last time, they even had a station inside to encourage you to write Christmas cards and they will mail them out for you. How sweet is that? Things like that really sets them apart from other spin classes. The reason I docked one star from my review this time is because the last class I attended, they used profanity during their motivational speeches in class. I feel that it is totally unnecessary; especially for a place that wants to help you better yourself. Vulgar language is such a lazy way of speaking when there are so many other adjectives in the English language one can use to describe their feelings instead. If the definition in the dictionary considers this rude, I think they should distance themselves from it as it doesn't go along with the soul etiquette nor preserve the soul sanctuary. read more

They should call it SuperSouls. Three-plus years and almost 500 rides later... I STILL love this place! These humans are an important part of my life. I think it's funny when my friends think I go off to "spin" and have a dainty little time breaking a mild brow sweat. Haha. I wish. Two drenched towels later, I emerge a new man each and every time. This being a minor source of exercise couldn't be further from the truth. This place is great for the butt-kickin' you want and need. I started, as noted below, in 2015. I went to make sure I had a solid footing for body while I racked my brain in a new business I was opening. I had no upper-body strength when I began. Now I do. My core is wow! SoulCycle is the foundation that has kept me humming on all cylinders, made my doctor literally tell me "you're one of the healthiest patients I have", and bring about a sense of calm and peace to the grind of life. It also, I am convinced, saved my life when I fell 20 feet down a craggy embankment while mountain biking. I also chuckle about how most people I know are "so busy" that they can't take time to commit to something like SoulCycle. I often ask if they are too busy to live in a hospital for a few weeks or too busy to earn more money to pay for bad habits that link to bad health. Here are my reviews of the three instructors (among other greats) I ride with the most. Danielle: Danielle is more like my favorite little sister than my instructor. She is a beautiful soul and has a wonderful, authentic way with people that is open-hearted and loving. She cares about the way you change and what you leave with every time. She taught me everything I know about the Soul process and she's why I always ride with a ton of heat on the wheel (which is not required). When I was an amateur rider, laying into the bike and asking for everything it had was her way in the early days of making sure we were true to ourselves. It's one of the reasons I stay loyal - people give a shit if I'm growing and becoming better. I've also enjoyed seeing her grow over the years and become a Senior Instructor. I've ridden with her for much of my 450 rides and I definitely, absolutely, do not negotiate my 6am hour with her every week nor should you. Rourke: Rourke is that guy who get's your butt off the seat and into gear right away. He was one of the first people to teach Activate, which is a different approach that is based on interval training. Roarke connects with his riders and people dig his warm and caring style. He's one of the first instructors from the NY studio's beginning so he has that transformative experience that only helps the rider. He is super authentic and my wife and I like him. Ross: Ross has a giant following and his classes are often on wait list as are the other peeps on this review. Ross brings a ton of soul, a lot of energy and he's been able to recently reinvigorate my belief in what SoulCycle is about. I like his music and that probably helps. On the surface, Ross is possibly more reserved a human than many of the others, but Ross is also the one that invites you into his life when you least expect it. That part is always relative and meaningful to what we're there for. He has a loving Al Green preacher type of way about him which means everyone is riding on his cloud in two seconds flat. That's super hard to do. And dammit! he taps that stuff you are trying to hide in the back of your mind and that emotion makes you ride harder and more fully (not to mention you might leave with some things figured out). It's called SoulCycle for a reason people! Staff: We forget these folks, but they are often the most important. This is an expensive workout and when things go awry you need them on your team. Don't mistreat staff at gym desks (or any other service person for that matter) and you might find your overall experience is more enjoyable. I have experienced a lot of turnover on this side of the customer experience in Pasadena, but I have to say it's done seamlessly and you never find a person who isn't well trained and ready to help. In this day and age, most of the people in part time work have multiple jobs and often college going on. You don't get that malaise of the distracted person here like you get at many retail places. That's a tribute to the strong Soul brand and regional leadership under Jenna who used to be PDNA manager. Many of them are fellow riders in their time off and I often see them helping when they don't have to. SoulCycle attracts great people and I appreciate them very much (like the new manager). But, I'd have to say Kiel is my all time fave staff member. He's a cool dude who's always pleasant - even at 5:30 am! read more

Love love love this studio! The customer service is great and the facility is clean which is super important to me! The instructors here are all great but my fav would have to be Chris! I just took his hip hop class today and loved it. Love his energy, vibe and song selections! I wish they'd add more hip hop classes to the weekly schedule though! read more

I've always wanted to try cycling, because it looks like such a good and fun workout! So when my friend had a free pass, I definitely took advantage of it and went. However, I don't think I would ever pay $30 to go, and here's why... Once you walk right in, you are greeted by the front desk ladies. If it's your first time, they give you a brief over view of the class and help you find the best fit shoes. There is free gum at the counter, and I think they also sell water bottles at the front desk. After we checked in, we went to the locker rooms. The bathrooms are extra clean and there's spray on deodorant, hair ties, tampons, etc. Finally, we went in to take our class! The room is soooo tiny! I wasn't expecting it to be so small. The bicycles are literally inches away from each other. My bike was right next to a mirror, and I couldn't do one of the movements because my bike was too close to the mirror. They play really loud music that gets you pumped up. The first 5 minutes, I was already tired because we were biking really fast while standing up! The lighting is a bit dark, so it's really hard to see what the instructor is doing [even though I was in the front]. But I feel like everything we did, I could do at my gym, which is why I wouldn't pay $30 to go again. I think the stuff they teach is definitely not worth the money. I'd rather do Bikram yoga or Kickboxing for $30... to be honest. read more

Really like this location! I really like the instructors as well. They are super inspiring! I just wish they paid for parking.

If you're ever looking for a detox, skip the sauna, drop the juice, and head to a soul cycle class. I drank the kool-aid hard, but I don't even mind because public service announcement, the Kool-Aid in this case happens to be really good...so, yes, I am a convert. As much as it pains me (and my wallet) to say that, I won't deny it any longer, because Soul Cycle is what every workout should aspire to be: fun and addictive. The instructors are extremely motivational, and their bodies, inspirational. They are also seemingly always pumped and energized, and given the opportunity, I'm sure they could all give the Energizer bunny a run for his money. Most of the workouts are 45 minutes long, but trust me, time flies. Before you even realize it, you'll be on the weights wishing that there were more than 2 songs left. The space itself is extremely clean, modern, sleek, and well cared for. The bathrooms are well-stocked with soap, face wash, hair ties, and ear plugs, for all your basic needs. There are also showers on site (trust me, after a class, this actually becomes a basic necessity). To sum it up in one word, it's a luxurious workout, and you can tell from the moment you step through the smudgeless-obviously-Windexed glass doors. So, yes, the classes at 30 bucks a pop (an additional $3 for shoes and $2 for water) are pricy, but it's the price you pay to feel as if you're at a rave rather than a workout. As a broke post-grad college student, these classes are more indulgent than they are feasible. Are they worth it? Yes. Are they worth it in this moment as a broke post-grad? Yes. With that being said, can I afford it? No. And that's Soul Cycle for you-- a fun and fantastic workout that's far too expensive for many. The price point, however, doesn't take away from the fact that it's still a fun and fantastic workout. P.S. if it's your first time, the staff is great at getting you all set up with the lockers and the bikes, so don't fret and save the sweating for class! read more

I would like to preface my review of SoulCycle by saying that I've been to at least two other spinning classes before and didn't enjoy those either. However, I had a free ride with SoulCycle and was REALLY curious what kind of class can command $30 for 45 minutes and still pack a studio. Plus, I had been told SoulCycle was a totally different animal from your run of the mill gym spin class. Once in the door, SoulCycle puts a lot of effort in creating a welcoming and positive ambiance. The studio is very warm and inviting, there are grapefruit candles at the front desk, and the locker rooms / bathroom areas are all bright and spotlessly clean. The class itself takes place in a dark room filled with bikes that at first glance have all these confusing knobs and adjustments on them. However, the instructor made her way around and quickly helped all of us newbies adjust the bikes. Once the class started, the lights went down and the music went up. The class is loud and in addition to cycling also involved a lot of head banging/bike pushup movements. They definitely did not have those in the other spin classes I've sat in on but unfortunately I'm 80% sure I was doing them wrong the whole time. There was also a lot of shifting on and off the saddle. The class may have been 45 minutes but felt much longer and included a few minutes of sculpting with 1 lb dumbbells which are attached to the back of the bike. Again, also not something I've done before in a spin class, but I doubt 1 lb dumbbells accomplish anything. I really wanted to like SoulCycle but it just is not for me. I was pretty obsessive about turning up and down the resistance exactly as recommended by the instructor and did feel like the ride was a good cardio workout at the time, but I felt no soreness in my legs at all the next day, which was really disappointing. I also think the idea of sculpting with dumbbells is a big marketing gimmick in general, so the 1lb sculpting done in the SoulCycle class felt like a huge waste of time. I do have a feel more free classes I can go to, but would rather spend the time doing anything else. In looking over the other reviews for SoulCycle, it seems like the people who enjoy the class appreciate that the environment distracts you from the fact you are working out, which is not something I am looking for or need. read more

They got me. The cult that is Soulcycle has sucked me in to its never-ending vortex of sweaty adrenaline. I took the class here with Chris who was great at pushing the class to our fullest potential. Loved his music too! After 10:30/5:30 classes he finishes off the class with an ab series...as if I wasn't already half dead from the past 40min of intense cycling... It is true that the instructor is a hugely defining part of your class, but until I actually experience a bad instructor my first priority is gonna be location. See you soon SC PDNA :) read more

I was waitlisted for a Yelp event here so I thought, "Hey, why not take the class right before? Then I can double if I get in to the event!" Best. Decision. Ever. If it wasn't for that thought, I would have never met the oh-so inspirational Ross! He's easily won me over with his energy and motivation in class. SoulCycle isn't just spinning, it's a community of strangers all working towards a common goal and you really feel it in his class. Did I mention the front desk staff is super friendly? Because they are! Everyone must be high from all the adrenaline here. I love it. #soulcycleforlife read more

Love SoulCycle. Fun workout. Great music. I burn a lot of calories at SoulCycle. Classes do get a bit pricy after awhile. Before sure to reserve a bike early. Classes do get full. They validate parking. read more

Was invited to attend a free class and really wasn't sure what to expect. The studio is bright and clean and the front desk staff is friendly. There was a bit of a bottleneck waiting to go in to the room where class is held. It probably would have been better to have enter/exit in different locations, but it did get sorted out. While there are many familiar elements of a more traditional spin class, this is anything but. The room has no exterior windows and the walls have inspirational/motivational words. Bikes line 3 walls and the instructor's platform is to the front with mirrors behind it. Class is held in a darkened room by candlelight, which, as it turns out, is a GREAT way to feed ones psyche while sweating. While I am used to loud, thumping/bumping music, this was a bit loud for my taste (although I was positioned in front of a speaker so maybe a different cycle would help with that). The instructor, Laura T, was great. Down to earth, approachable, helpful and seriously in shape to lead such a high intensity class and still be able to speak. Great energy and very motivational. The studio provides towels and weights and there are some gel seat pads for those who might be spending more time in the saddle. I highly recommend using one until you are able to spin the majority of class out of the saddle. They do validate for 90 mins in the structure behind the studio (off of Cordova) but shoe rental is $3. One class is $30 and a 10 class series is $280, so fairly spendy for a group class. + great cardio work-out + very inspirational and motivational + new clean facilities + validated parking - more expensive than other group exercise classes - music is *too* loud (although I do get what they are driving for) - there are fans mounted in the ceiling corners, but they weren't in use. There needs to be SOME circulating air. Sweating is one thing, but nearly passing out from heat/humidity from bodies in motion is another. -$30/class is spendy, especially when you add in the shoe rental of $3. Great, solid work-out that is different enough from other offerings around town to make it worth the while. read more

3 1/2 stars. I've done cycling before at LA fitness so was aware of somewhat on what to expect. My friend told me about this place and has a free pass, so why not!? All I need is that one word and I'm good to go :) You can park across the street in the lot or on the streets. The inside is real cute and cozy. They have several clothing which I liked but I thought was a bit on the pricey side. They provide the shoes for the bike. There is a locker inside and a real nice fancy spa like bathroom, which was my favorite part. They had hair sprays, extra hair ties, and all that good stuff. Very clean and staff were real friendly and helpful. As soon as you get in the room is pretty dark. And I don't mean a light dim. It's like DARK! they do have a few candles lit and some great music. It depends on who your teacher is. Some are hip hop some house and so on. Was not a huge fan of our instructor's music selection, but it's better than complete silence and hearing my breathe and thoughts. The movies varies from uphill, downhills, standing up and down, and few bicep and tricep moves with the cutest 1 lb dumbbells. I must say its a B**** to get your shoes to click off that bike! after struggling for my life and my friend attempting to help me get loose I just gave up and took of the shoes haha. Overall a great experience to try something different, but would not say it's for me. And It hurts your inner thighs like a mother! Felt sore next day as if I had rode on a horse for hours. Be prepared to walk retarded the next day :) read more

First time here this past Wednesday. Employees were so helpful and sweet especially Bree. Bree showed me around,set my bike up and made me feel welcomed! Meg was my instructor and was very encouraging and checked on me throughout the class. She is a fantastic instructor!I was a little intimidated at first, especially since I have not taken a spin class in yrs. It was an awesome experience and I can't stop raving to my friends about SoulCycle Pasadena! Look forward to coming here read more

My favorite exercise studio! The staff and instructors here are the best! Every time I come here I am greeted with smiles and leave feeling accomplished. The workout isn't easy but it's FUN every time!!! read more

Great workout! This one is located in a strip of shops and there is a parking lot behind the studio. Soulcycle will validate your parking if you park in that lot. The staff is super nice and energetic. Classes run about $35+ (slightly less if you buy a package). Each time you come, shoes are $3 to rent and you can also buy Smartwater for $2. Or bring your own water and you can refill with their filtered water fountain. Lockers are free and you don't need to bring a lock. Here, the lockers are located in a common, co-ed area. The locker rooms and showers are separate (and obviously not co-ed). Everything is very clean and surprisingly, the room does not smell like sweat when you enter (they clean everything between classes). No need to bring towels --- towels will be laid out on each bike and they have shower-sized towels in the locker rooms. At the beginning of class, they'll ask if anyone needs help setting up their bikes and learning how to clip your shoes in. Be prepared to sweat! Don't be discouraged, they will help you if you're new and the room is dark. The class is great. The instructor will play different tracks throughout the 45-minute workout and you'll learn how to spin to the beat. Don't worry, there are lower-speed options and you won't feel bad if you can't keep up with the fast pace. Surprisingly, you'll also get a nice little arm workout too. After class, you can head to the showers, which are loaded with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair ties, blow dryers, tampons, bobby pins and anything else you could imagine you will ever need. They also have plastic bags to put your sweaty clothes into so your bag doesn't get sweaty. read more

SOUL SURVIVOR! An hour long ride with a inspirational instructor, non stop fun and great music! There really is no better way to start off your day. My first time at SC and I was hooked! My sweet husband joined me and he loved it! He's a man's man so he's more into lifting weights. However he loved the class, so much that he came back with me. He loved the challenge especially with the weight section at the end! We don't live in LA, but we visit often and we'll be back to ride! read more

Amazing!!!! I was first introduced to Soul Cycle when my old spin instructor from Crunch Fitness,Edward, was hired on for Soul West Hollywood. I remember taking my first class and was just amazed by the whole ambience of the studio and how it's completely different from "gym" cycling classes. You FEEL the energy that all of us spinners possess when we're in this room together. There's a sense of community with strangers and it's great to get to know people that have the same ambitions/feelings as you. I have been to Soul West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and they all have the same vibe and great staff. Soul Pasadena is no exception to the rest of the Soul studios. I had my first ride with Lisa a couple weeks back. She is incredible. Her playlist is pumping and she will literally start throwing her long hair back and forth during the rides. During the class, she will place lit candles on the floor around the riders which makes the experience even more special. I personally have been on a journey in my life. I lived in San Diego for 10 months and lost the special feeling of Soul Cycle (there's no Soul Cycles in San Diego). After making a tough decision, I decided to resign from my job and move back to Pasadena. I was so grateful to move back to Pasadena and find that Soul Cycle was now in my hometown. I'm ready to find my soul again!!! read more

There was something both therapeutic and exhilarating about SoulCycle and I LOVED every second of it. Granted, I felt like throwing up a few times during the ride (hahaha, my bad) since the music/awesome instructor really pushed me to my max, to pedal faster, to keep on going, and to not give up on myself. They incorporated weights at the end and those 1 pound weights that I thought were going to be super easy ended up feeling like 5 pounders by the end of it haha. During the class, everyone pedals at the same pace and same leg so I felt like we were all one and in sync. At the end of it all, I felt cleansed, strong, and just ready to conquer my day!! (endorphin high ftw!!) Anyways, I left feeling great and I know I would definitely come back if it weren't for the price. Every now and then is good, but I unfortunately cannot be a regular like I would want to. :( read more

The studio is smaller, but that in no way affects its ability to be clean, positive, and welcoming! This review is specifically for ROSS - best soul cycle class I've taken. I kinda don't wanna give out how great he is cause then it'll be harder to get his classes, but he had an upbeat and varied music selection, said motivating things in the right tones, and had us do things on the bike that I haven't done yet that really pushed me! Fantastic instructor :) read more

The management is so friendly and accommodating here! Definitely ask them about their company rides. I've set up a team bonding ride with a group of interns, and we had such a fun time. Alli (assistant studio manager) was generous enough to then extend a 2-week promotion of free classes for my entire department! Free parking with validation in the structure behind the studio. Stop by Lemonade for a yummy post-ride meal :) read more

The workouts are decent (only decent. Cuz my untraditional Pilates megaformer workouts at studio metamorphosis are a million times better and cheaper), and I absolutely hate the cult following culture. Chris is a good instructor, but it's honestly only fun when there are theme rides. I also find their workouts not intense/thorough enough. For example you don't work on your obliques or gluteal muscles. Also I'm super butthurt about the fact that their cycling seats hurt my butt!!! read more

First timer ! Best experience ever ! Thank you so much ! Staff was super helpful and friendly! Even the people there were really nice . Love this place read more

Took the 8:30AM class on Sunday and am sold on coming back! I haven't worked out for almost 3 years and haven't been to spin in 4+ years. Although I had trouble keeping up my pace with the others in the class, Lisa M. was a positive motivation to hustle and keep going. I will definitely be back! It's not cheap but its worth it - plus there are many other things you can waste $30 on (food!) - but SoulCycle is def worth EVERY dollar. read more

I wish i didn't love this place. I wish it didn't cost $30 per session, but here's the thing: I am willing to pay that price because that's how awesome Soul Cycle is. I hate working out but I do not hate Soul Cycle. Music is pumping, instructors are encouraging, and the overall experience is top-notch. If I'm going to put on gym clothes and sweat somewhere, this is the only place I want to do it. read more

This is my first sort of spinning-type gym/workout. On first impression, this place has that all-white clean modern appeal, but with the bright colors feels energetic. The staff mostly all wear yellow, so they are easy to spot and easy to talk to. My sign in went relatively quickly without any upsell at the front desk. The locker hallway and bathrooms are clean and they have a shower as well as towel service, which is very nice. It smells like a Jamba Juice, which is nice too. This place is BUSY right before a class with all the check-ins, as well as the locker room mixed with people who are getting out of class intermingled with people getting ready for class. It's not a bad thing, necessarily, and I didn't mind it at all. The first time you set-up your bike is a little tricky, as it is always is with new equipment... except you get to do it in the dark. They have a few staff around to keep an eye and help out though, but it was a little disorienting nonetheless. But again, just the regular "I'm new to this" kind of awkwardness. The workout was awesome. It's challenging to keep beat to the music with the cadence all the time, especially when additional moves are added in, so that was a nice new element. Just make sure to start at the lowest resistance at the beginning of class so you don't start half-way like I did! My only knock is that it is a bit cost prohibitive. It's around $30/class regardless of how many you buy, plus $3 for shoe rentals (first time is free, though), and I'd be spending about $100/week if I came 3x a week. Definitely fun, and I can see how it can be worth it for some folks to spend that money because of the amenities, but I think it would take a lot for me to come back and pay full price for a class. read more

This location is spacious & well laid out & everyone's really sweet. Saturday 730am class was worth waking up for! Great energy. There's a Philz Coffee (+ tons of other restaurants, shops) nearby for a pre or post ride pick me up. The women's restroom could use more shelves/benches as those areas were really crowded & awkward post shower. read more
