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 came to SoulCycle during my ClassPass trial. My wife does SoulCycle regularly, so she wanted me…read moreto come with her. We came on a Thursday around 6PM. This class I went to was a BLAST. There were so many people and the instructor Vynessa was AWESOME. This class was a "Bad Bunny & Friends" music theme. Everyone was having such a good time in class. The class included mainly cycling, but there were some dumbbell portions towards the end of the class, which was a nice added touch. Upon arriving, a worker gave me a rundown of the studio and showed me my own personal locker too. All of the staff were really nice and really made me feel welcome. Not only at the beginning, but at the end too. They asked if I enjoyed it after I was done, to which I replied, "OF COURSE!!" It was definitely really fun, and I do plan on coming back again in the near future.

Allison, our sales rep, was professional and helpful. She took time to answer our questions and waited until we've tried and tested the equipment to see if any new questions came to mind.

Does your gym play music outside like you're walking into the actual club? Does your gym bring in…read moresigns and strobe lights in during your cycling class as if you're getting bottle service to celebrate your birthday? Does your gym always play the hottest mixes? Does your gym allow you to do free weights, a sauna, cycling class, reform Pilates, Hyrox, boxing, CS4 and MORE for ONE RATE?! No.. not unless you are already a member at Club Studio of course :) Parking: Can definitely get tight on the weekends due to Costco, but is plentiful when I go at 5am lol. Parking garage nearby! Literally my second home at this point! I love the Club and how welcoming all the staff is from the front desk to the instructors. Still need to try the sauna! I come early in the morning so it's always clean and organized well and just a nice place to escape. I also legit have never taken a class I haven't liked! Each instructor brings their own vibe so I enjoy finding a favorite and sticking with them! Sasha at Hyrox? Amazing. Dannielle teaching Hot Pilates? Amazing. Yes, the classes do book fast but more often than not you do get a spot off the waitlist which is lovely.

My review is based on receiving a 5-day free pass to Club Studio but not being an actual member…read more I went to Club Studio all in the morning between 6-10 am. The parking lot can get very crowded, especially when Costco is open but I was always able to find a spot. The gym brings a lot of energy by playing music outside and having very friendly and helpful staff at the front. Even though I went during prime morning hours, both during the week and on the weekend, the gym was never super crowded which made working out even better. I signed up for a different class each day I went. The CS4 and Hyrox classes were the most difficult, in terms of getting a good workout and sweat in, whereas the rebound and reform classes were great for active recovery and strength training. I signed up for all the classes at the beginning of the week and did not have any problem getting into the ones I wanted. The gym itself is really nice. It seems very new, with all new and clean equipment. The cardio machines are located upstairs with the majority of the functional training, weights, machines, and other workout areas on the main level. They have a basketball court and a recovery area. As far as I could tell, the basketball court is included but the recovery area costs extra. I did try the recovery area and it is very nice. They have compression lounges, cryotherapy, hydro massages, and red light therapy. I am unsure on the pricing of these but I very much enjoyed the hydro massage and compression lounge. The locker rooms are fully equipped with built-in, easy to use locks on the lockers; shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers; and lotion and hair dryers. They also provide towels and have a sauna. The showers have great pressure and heat up almost instantly. Overall, the gym is extremely nice and worth the cost for having classes, a basketball court, and new equipment if you're looking for a nicer gym to go to.

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!

I've been coming here for just over a year now and the community is amazing! The instructors are…read morevery impressive (highly recommend Reid S!) and the atmosphere is so fun. Great walkable location in the heart of midtown, although they also validate parking if you decide to drive. And shout out to the manager, Emma, for working hard to keep the studio in tip-top shape.

So fun! I've only taken a few cycling classes ever, but this was my favorite! I did the 12pm Friday…read morecycle class with Tuesday as the instructor and she was awesome and had great energy! The theme was "Trap, Twerk, and Booty Werk" and the playlist did not disappoint! You know the class is gonna be hype when the first song is Beyoncé "Drunk in Love". Check in was so easy and everyone was really welcoming. At the time I went, the first class was $10. This location is small since it's Midtown. You can park in the Publix lot for free or do street parking. They do have lockers and restrooms to change, but I believe there are only 2 or 3 single person restrooms so I would just come already changed. I like how you don't have to pay extra to rent cycling shoes like some places. Once in the studio, there are people to help you get situated and get your bike adjusted and shoes clipped in, which was so helpful! The class is so fun that you don't even really feel like you're working out since there are lights and music videos. It's kinda like you went to the club and just happened to be getting an awesome work out in as well, haha. They have a leaderboard if you're the competitive type. And if you're not, then they only show it for like 5 seconds a few times during the class. They send you a progress report email after class to see how you did! I had a great experience at this studio and can't wait to take another class! Work out classes at studios can sometimes be awkward and intimidating but there is none of that at all here, which I really liked!

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.

Be mindful that the Ponce…read morelocation is very different than the buckhead location, the girls up front don't really do a great job letting you know the parking situation.. when I had my first ride I didn't even know about it until like 5 minutes to class and it was pretty stressful figuring all that out before.. kinda wish they told me sooner.... the girls in general at Ponce are a little more standoffish at Ponce than buckhead... but the workouts are amazing and Sheldon is out of the world good

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!

Walking in, i didnt know what to expect because this was my first shot at cycing classes, i was more used to pilates, fitness, and yoga but since my fellow yelper wanted to go i was like sure! first time for everything with a friend- GOOD CALL! The staff, every single one was so welcoming and helpful. i truly felt at home. i am def coming back, this is going to be one of my spots moving forward.

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!
