Let me start by saying this: I have never been a fan of spin classes. I've tried them multiple…read moretimes in the past, and it just never stuck. But after hearing so many good things about SoulCycle, I decided to give it a try--despite my hesitation. If I'm being honest, I did not expect to like it as much as I did. What I quickly realized is that the instructor and the music make all the difference. My instructor was Vynnessa , and she has the perfect personality to keep you motivated from start to finish. Her energy was encouraging without being overwhelming, and she really knew how to keep the class engaged. And the playlist? That's what sealed the deal for me. She had a Bad Bunny-themed ride, and let's just say it kept me going! Sometimes in spin classes, if the music isn't vibing, it's easy to focus on how tired and sweaty you feel--but this playlist had me locked in. One thing I really loved was the sense of community. It didn't feel like a room full of strangers just riding bikes. During class, we even took a moment to celebrate a fellow rider's personal accomplishment, and I thought that was such a special touch. Now, yes--my butt was definitely sore the next day (which comes with the territory), but overall, the experience completely changed my perspective. SoulCycle Buckhead will definitely be seeing me again soon.

I had AJ as my instructor and it wasn't the best experience, I won't be back. My baby sister and I…read morewanted to try something new together & left irritated and embarrassed. I'll cut to the chase for risk of sounding like a 'karen'. We were targeted multiple times during the class for no reason. We get there 10 minutes early and the room is PITCH black, you cannot see anything - it was very hard to find our bikes and get situated. they took our phones at the beginning of the class like we were in 5th grade (our genuine mistake we didn't see anything notifying us this was not allowed) I'm thinking 'no biggie this will be great'. My sister's seat was way too high and kept irritating her privates, I tried to help her lower it but we were having difficulty. After clearly struggling for several minutes, we were addressed by this instructor with "love yall but I can literally hear you in the back" so I waved her toward us looking for help. When I explained the situation I was met with "No I can't help you with that, it will hurt her knees" AFTER SHE KEPT SAYING "listen to your body" lol??????? anyway this was maybe 10 mins in so she couldn't participate the entire workout.... this was just ONE out of many things that happened. she also kept on negatively highlighting the fact that we were first time riders (no indication this was a class for advanced riders). It was uncomfortable and unpleasant from beginning to end.... I'd give it a 2/10 experience, I never write reviews but felt motivated to.....there was a nice note though and a towel provided which was cool. Front desk staff were very nice too.

If there's one thing that you should know about me, it's that I LOVE INDOOR CYCLING. I'm a HUGE…read moreadvocate for indoor cycling after trying it out for the first time 3 years ago. Unfortunately, since I moved and am now a broke graduate student, I haven't had the time to consistently keep up with a studio. I've tried several studios around ATL and since Rukus was opening up a new studio near where I worked, I figured I would stop by during their grand opening. **They are offering classes for free this weekend and if you download their app, you can get an additional 4 classes for free!** Although the studio is located in Midtown, there is a parking garage behind the studio. A worker from the studio texted me the code for free parking a couple of hours before my class (you get an hour and half for free- plenty of time to get in and out). The studio is very clean and bright inside. They don't have locker rooms here, but instead have individual bathrooms with showers inside! The bathrooms are fully stocked with deodorant, razors, and even toothbrushes for you to use! They also provide free shoes for you to use as well. The shoes do run a little small - I had to get a full size up. Unfortunately, the shoes I usually use to cycle didn't work here so I had to borrow one of their shoes. I use a different clip-in system than Rukus does and couldn't get my shoes to clip-in. My clip-ins are a little old though, so I think I'll try again when I switch them out . Plus, thinking back, I think I was trying to clip them in the wrong side of the pedal, oops. Also, a very cool thing about this studio is that they have a separate (smaller) rooms with a couple of bikes. Apparently, if you come to class late, you can enter this room and either take a class through Peleton or join in on the current class through a live-feed. I thought this was very cool as there's nothing worse than showing up late and setting up your bike during class. I can easily see myself coming back to Rukus as it's close to my workplace (and I have 4 more rides to use -yay), but there are a couple of things that I didn't like. I think my bike was malfunctioning because the screen would randomly flash during class and it took a while for the gear number to change after I moved the gear knob. Also, the gear number would randomly change even if I didn't touch the knob - not sure what was up with that. The music was very loud so it made listening to the instructor very difficult. I do enjoy loud music when I cycle, but if I can't really hear the instructor, it kind of takes away from the experience. The instructor didn't really explain how the different zones worked on the television screen. I noticed how the colors next to your name changed at certain times while I was biking, but I didn't know why until I got my stats e-mailed to me after class. There wasn't an option to book a certain bike number on the app either and the bike is assigned to you after you check-in. I'm not sure if it's just the app that doesn't let you choose the bike as I haven't tried to book a bike on the website yet. Overall, there are a couple of kinks that need to be worked out (especially the instructor's microphone), but I would definitely come back soon!

While visiting ATL with a group of colleagues, we decided to try a few different spin studios as…read morewe're all CycleBar enthusiasts in our own states. As part of our "try em all" approach, we booked at Vibe Ride for their first class of the day! Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the staff and quickly checked in! The team all helped us figure out the bike setup (different than what our home studios use) and we were on our way! Based on the friendliness of the instructor and the high energy from others, I was excited. As the class started, I was a bit shocked to see we were using music videos on YouTube as our music. Considering there are commercials/ ads and they wanted to skip certain parts of the song... it was a struggle. After a couple of songs and it not being anything like what I was used to (smoothly run, no breaks in music, etc), I was pretty checked out. I wanted to love this place from the staff and the vibes but my colleagues and I all left saying we wouldn't come back. The class seemed choppy with the YouTube use and the moves shown didn't always seem safe with the stability of these bikes. Unfortunately not a place for me but others did clearly love their experience.

Pre pandemic I was huge into fitness classes, particularly spin. Have been to a ton of spin studios…read morein other cities before moving to Atlanta in July. I attended a class here this week (first fitness class since the start of the pandemic in March 2020!) and was SO pumped to be back in person at a real-life studio! Things I loved about Vibe Ride: - music choices and the accompanying videos playing in the background (what better motivation than seeing queens Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, etc while you're spinning?!) - the friendly staff, energy of the instructor - as someone very metrics-based, I am always a big fan of studios with leaderboards at the front of the room The less great: - studio space a little cramped. With the choreography and side-to-side movements they have you doing on the bike (so fun, BTW), if you're going the opposite way as your neighbor, you might bump elbows a little bit - acoustics of the studio are not great. Instructor uses a microphone that is sufficiently loud volume-wise, but the reverberation makes it a little tough to understand. They're at the front of the room on a platform though so it's easy enough to follow their lead - older bikes (shoes provided are in really good condition though!) Overall a fun, positive experience. Happy that I went to a class here to try it out, but I'm planning to shop around a bit to find my fave studio in Atlanta

Not so mom-friendly. Sorry you can't workout here…read more Looked online for places that were family-friendly and kid friendly and this place popped up, so I bought a package, got my 5 year old prepped with their headphones and ipad, reserved a bike next to an open space in the room and headed to class right after the work/school pickup commute all to get there and be told kids are not allowed on the premises. So no, not so kid friendly.

I've tried all of the studios and mostly patronize Grant Park, but I wanted to leave a review here…read moreto encourage everyone to try out this gorgeous new location and make it just as successful as their others. I've always felt insecure about my physical abilities, I was the kind of kid who would fake sick to get out of P.E. because I was too embarrassed to participate. There is absolutely nothing to be nervous about inside of Vibe Ride's walls. There are bodies and skill levels of all kinds. Instructors push you, but never shame you. Everyone is just there to become the best version of themselves. All of the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. If it's your first time, they're happy to give you a studio tour, walk you through the experience and help you get setup. At every location people have taken the time to learn my name and remember me, it makes me feel like a part of the community and keeps me coming back (even when I fall off for a bit haha). I'm a creature of habit so I attend Daryl's classes. They're positive, high energy and an AMAZING workout, but I encourage everyone to try different instructors and see who has the right vibe for you. Black owned, LGBT friendly. I can't say enough good things about this place. Pro tip: Take the 7:15 class so you can get a cold eucalyptus towel afterward. Heaven! Check Vibe Ride out and bring a friend!

Another great Vibe Ride location in the Midtown area! I am a big fan of the Vibe Ride and came in…read morefor my first free class at this location last Saturday. The staff was super friendly to my girlfriend and me even though we were running a bit late. We came to this location because Coach Kayle(our favorite Coach) was doing a class there and we want to check out this location. The spinning class is set up differently than our usual location but it was just as fun, the bicycle I used was brand new and that was very refreshing, and the shoes I used were so new it felt like I was the first person to wear them! The location is quite amazing with changing rooms, bathrooms, bathrooms with showers, a hair blower station, and lockers to put your extra belongs before classes. I definitely recommend if you live in the Midtown area(especially West Midtown/Georgia Tech area) and looking for a great work out take a class at this Vibe location, you might sign up for a membership right afterwards!

The fellow yelper who went with me said after that it felt like a Saturday night club vibe. If any of that sounds like your jam, check this place out! The space is nice (will get more photos next time), clean, and spacious. I forgot to ask, but don't think the studio has been there long. The bathroom has showers and is spacious and clean. There are easy to use lockers to secure your things. There are a lot of bikes packed into the studio room, but it didn't feel crowded when riding, even during a full class. They provide a sweat towel and shoes for the bikes, and give you a free water bottle to take home after your first class! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I felt like they were happy to have me there. And even though there were a lot of people in attendance, I felt they gave me the individualized attention I needed to get set up. The girl who worked the counter adjusted the bike for my size, and explained how to work the resistance settings. I do, however, wish they explained more about the instructions the coach / instructor would be giving during class -- for example, the different positions on the bike (first, second, third) I had to learn by watching the instructor and/or other participants in the class. I would have liked to know what all the instructions meant before I heard them during the class. Carlee was great. I don't know how she keeps that big energy going so long! Lol. There was more cussing than I was expecting.. but I cuss a lot myself so I can handle it -- it just caught me off guard. I would go back to another of her classes if I do go back. This studio allows students from ClassPass, so if you are a ClassPass member and interested, look them up on there. They also said the first class with them (sans ClassPass) is free! I don't know if studio cycling is for me. I'm just getting back into working out after spinal fusion surgery last year, so I may not have been quite ready for this much intensity, but I will likely try it again!
