WOW- talk about a workout!! A friend had been trying to get me to join her for a sweat cycle class for some time. I basically told her the concept of cycling in a hot room sounds like torture to me!! However, I finally gave in and joined her for a Saturday morning class. Let's first talk about the location. The business is located inside of The Forum Athletic Club. The athletic club is located near the beauty school Elaine Sterling Institute and the Atlanta Police Department at Lenox mall. This should help you with actually getting to this spot. They have ample parking in the garage that is free. When you walk into the gym you need to follow the signs for sweat cycle. You are immediately greeted by the front desk staff and signed in. I was given the opportunity to pick my bike location and given a part of cycle shoes. NOTE: cycle shoes are required. You can not ride in your tennis shoes. Since this was my first class the instructor assisted me with sitting my bike up correctly. She measured the seat to my hip height and the handle bar against my arm reach. She also helped me lock the shoes in and gave me instructions on how to use the bike resistance and the various stances that will be called pit furring the classes the instructor advised that she recently had a baby so she would be on and off the bike, and likely off more. I can understand and respect that. The class started with a warm up and then the fun started. When I tell you this was 45 minutes of detoxification and cardio at the same time!! You basically get out of this class what you put in. If you go in and push yourself you will burn a ton of calories. I highly recommend coming hydrated and drinking water throughout the class! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone that loves to cycle and wants to challenge themselves by doing it in a heated room! I look forward to my next class, maybe I will see you thee! read more

Okay, so I am updating my review after a second try and it was well worth it! It was such a vibe for an evening workout during the week which I really enjoyed! I took Joi's class who was really motivating, and helpful- from start to finish. Music was on point and well, room was hella hot but it should be! Time went by quick and I recommend! I will be back and highly suggest trying it out. :) read more

I was thrilled and nervous to attend my first heated cycle class via Yelp's CYE. This class kills two birds in one stone. I earned both cardio and detox within a 55-minutes class. The class is intense! I was soaked all over. My entire body is still burning and sore one day after the class. I totally recommend it; and would do it again. Tips: The Sweat Shoppe is located at the packing deck of Macy's. It's a bit hard to fine. But, it really worths it doing once a week. read more

Tips: park in the lower deck at Lenox Mall Get to class early to grab riding shoes Bring water Be ready to SWEAT I LOVE the staff and atmosphere. The music gets you so energized to burn more calories!! They have a special for unlimited classes at only $90! I will definitely be back!! read more

See all

A friend and I went this afternoon and we were drenched afterwards. It took us more than 20 minutes to locate the facility and the telephone number listed did not work. It was a mess. But the actual class was good. It was HOT. Not as hot as a sauna but it was super warm and more difficult to keep up than I thought it would be. But we didn't die. Lol. Nice class. The gym looks like it's state of the art also. read more

Sweat Cycle - Me & Brooke - Cycling Classes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Every year, I try to change my workout routine by introducing new workout classes to my schedule. Two years ago, I got HOOKED on Cyclebar and tell my friends about it all the time. Unfortunately, I moved and the Cyclebar studio here is a little out of my way so I haven't been to a cycling class in a while. I saw an ad for The Sweat Shoppe on my Insta-feed and was immediately interested since I haven't tried a heated spin class before. The Sweat Shoppe is located inside of The FORUM. It's a little difficult to find your first time, but park near Macy's and it's next to Topman. You have to enter from the outside though - if you are inside of the mall already, you have to take the staircases down next to Topman to enter The FORUM. Once inside the gym, you turn right and you should see the doors for The Sweat Shoppe. If it's your first time, you have to fill out a waiver form. The worker gave me a brief tour as I filled out the waiver. Also, if you don't have cycle shoes, it costs $3 to rent after your first class. When you first walk into the room, you can definitely feel the heat. It's heated to around 84 degrees, but obviously feels like 100000 degrees once you are actually on the bike. BRING YOUR WATER!! You definitely need to stay super hydrated during class. The class itself was 55 minutes long, and it was sooooo intense. I was literally sweating buckets by the end of class, but you feel so great after! Definitely go at your own pace - you don't want to pass out on the bike by pushing yourself too hard. I signed up through Classpass, but your first class here is free so you don't have anything to lose! read more

SWEAT CYCLE is the BEST! Honestly, one of the best workouts I've ever done in my life. I've lived in LA and NYC and I've tried every type of gym class ever invented. The music, the heated room, the cleanliness, the friendly staff and coaches are top notch! You' first class will be rough, but who doesn't love a challenge. I've seen results in my waistline, which is most important to me, but my breathing is better, I sleep better, and my energy has improved a ton. The heated room aspect has tons of benefits. Check Sweat Cycle out and SWEAT it out ASAP! read more

This is probably the toughest spin class that I've been to! 45-50 mins of sweat, fun, and hard work with Nikki M. I will definitely be back. Here are some things to consider when taking this class. * The class is feels like its about 85-90 degrees * Consider bringing cold water to the class! I brought room temp and it didn't quench my thirst! *the class provides shoes, towels, and lockers for your personal belongings Looking forward to future sweat sessions here! read more

Live it here! A little hard to find bc there located inside a gym at the bottom of Lennox Mall. The class was fire tho

Originally got this through a Groupon...this is a gem...if you want to sweat and burn calories...was slightly confused about going thru the gym to the cycling area but the front desk people of the gym are communicative and helpful...the spin instructors/coaches aren't (Hollywood) although they look it ......they were attentive and helpful...with the bike measuring and super hot spots of the lamps...! Andddd the music is always a plus!!!!! read more

Sweat Cycle - Cycling Classes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The only place to spin, in Atlanta, or in Los Angeles. Come in, and get your pedals pumping, your heart thumping and your sweat running. Bet you can't just have one! read more

Takeela is amazing and her classes are always filled because she has the best energy. But I gave this place 3 starts because of the instructor named Nikki she is incredibly unprofessional, rude and has yelled at me with profanity because I didn't give her a strong enough high five and has always been incredibly rude to me and my friends that are loyal members. I would suggest booking with another instructor! Steer clear! read more

Obsessed with this class!!! Amazing workout! Ive always despised cycling and didn't think I could do it!! Nikki is amazing and truly helped me with my form. So motivating throughout your entire workout! Def recommend checking this place out! read more

Damn!!! My workout at the Sweat Shoppe had to have been one of the hardest of my LIFE. This place is no joke. I thought I would have an easy-ish time, because I do hot yoga a lot and I do a fair amount of spinning classes. No. Sweat Shoppe is a different beast. A couple of minutes into the warmup, I started getting drenched with sweat and I felt my heart rate rise to where I would normally be in my peak of a workout. Our class instructor, Nikki, was so much fun. She was sweating right along with us. She was super motivational! Loved her. Sweat Shoppe is super clean as well. I highly recommend this place to clear your body of toxins and get into the nest shape of your life! read more

I am obsessed with this place. It's rhythm cycling similar to Soul Cycle (as opposed to Fly Wheel which is a typically less rhythm based.) The heated aspect is no joke but it enhances the workout so much it makes it completely worth it. I would bring two water bottles if it's your first time and do not wear heavy clothing. Location was hard for me at first. Best advice -- think about driving by Macy's going around to the left side if you're looking at Macy's from Peachtree Street and then you will see a sign for the Forum. Or just put The Forum in your maps and it will take you directly there. Once you enter the gym you turn right at the front desk and walk about 100 ft straight into the studio. If you're trying to decide where to cycle I would 1000% give this place a shot it's different (music/lightening/cycling style) then any place I've been besides really Soul Cycle but I feel like I get better (more slimming) workout then Soul Cycle plus heat. read more

When I First signed up for a class I didn't know what to expect... but man am I glad I did. I look forward to going to class every week - the instructors are personable and passionate about helping you reach your goals. Nikki's classes are my personal favorite but I can say you get a great work from each instructor, just different styles! Highly recommend for those looking to spice up their workouts and get better at cycling! read more

I recently started taking Sweat Shoppe classes as I am a member of The Forum and they offer discounted rates for members. I wanted to up my cardio workouts combined with Fast Twitch classes and I have found the Sweat Shoppe to be the perfect new addition to my workout routine. I am a huge fan! The class is TOUGH but after each one I leave feeling like a million bucks. If you're the kind of person who wants to truly feel like you got a workout in (evidenced by the sweat on your clothes), this is the perfect studio for you. The instructors and front desk ladies are SO welcoming and bubbly and I always look forward to coming even with it being as hard as it is. I also really like the themed rides, which they have pretty often. I am a huge EDM fan so I am hoping they incorporate more of that genre in the future! read more

I never liked cycling until I tried the Sweat Shoppe and now I am hooked! It is one of the most intense workouts I've tried and I've tried it all. The front desk staff is awesome, super friendly, and always greets me by name and have memorized my shoe size. Nikki is an amazing instructor! She's a great motivator and will get you through the class smiling and laughing even while you're flipping her off for how hard the workout is. I can't say enough good things about this place so go see for yourself. read more

Nicki is a beast first time ever going very hands on great interaction n constant energy to help you survive the cycle speaks great encouraging words as well I especially recommend athletes can't wait for class numero dos read more

I highly recommend The Sweat Shoppe! I've been coming for 3 months now, and it's an excellent place and environment to get a cardio workout. The instructors, the music and the energy of this place really motivates you to push yourself. And, even as you become more experienced, each class seems to become more challenging than the one before. On top of that, the heat really adds to the workout. You'll sweat a ton, but you'll feel great afterwards and feel like you really accomplished something. I can't say enough good things about the instructors. I was new to spinning when I started, but the instructors are very approachable and willing to guide you and give you pointers. Each instructor has his/her own style and all are great, so I recommend taking different classes regularly if you want to change your workout. The first class is free so there's no excuse to not try it out! Location: The Sweat Shoppe is inside The Forum Athletic Club, which is on the very bottom floor of the parking deck next to Macy's. There isn't any access to it from within the mall, but there's plenty of parking in front of the gym. read more

Easily one of the best workouts you can get. Innovation meets spin! It's not easy when you start but you will prefer nothing else once you get the hang of it. AND I feel so good afterwards! Spin is no longer enough without the heat! read more

Great workout! Nikki is an incredible motivator and I'd recommend this class to anyone wanting to try something new. You'll sweat and be pushed, but it's fun and you'll have a good time! read more

This class is amazing! It's tough but they encourage you throughout the entire class. I'll definitely be back. Nikki is really great! She rides different bikes throughout the class. When she rode next to me it really pushed me to go further and not give up. I also took a class with Takeela. She was really upbeat and walked the class encouraging everyone. The front desk staff is really great. Super nice and helpful! read more

I'm obsessed with this place! Ever since they reopened during Covid, I've felt super safe! All of the bikes are 6 feet apart and they sterilize the entire place before and after classes. They also keep the room clean and filtered with a humidifier. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

LOVE the Sweat Shoppe! This was also my first spin class and it was an excellent experience! Nikki is awesome, she was super motivating and a great instructor. Can't wait to go back to her class! read more

Great new spin class in Atlanta. I've been impressed with how kind, helpful and fun the staff is. Kaily is a fabulous instructor.

There is nothing like this around at all! An awesome gym and a superb workout. There's no way you can sweat! Nikki was a great trainer who pushed and encouraged you. Although there was an emphasis on pushing your limits, the trainer was adament about keeping your form which is just so appreciated. She even gave some nutrition tips! It was a great way to mix up my regular exercise.. hopefully I'll be able to get some friends to come back with me! read more

Nikki M is an amazing spin class instructor. By far the best spin class I have ever been to. She is all about the correct form, keeping everyone engaged and offers a killer workout. High recommend taking her class. Oh and her music selection is pretty awesome!!! read more

Hands down the best workout! I've been coming since it opened in July, and I could not say enough good things about what it's done for my fitness goals. All the classes are so much fun, and both Hailey and Kaily are amazing instructors. The playlists are fantastic and always push me to work out that much harder. The heat element may be intimidating initially, but stick with it, and it'll pay off! First ride is free, so there's no excuse to not try it out! read more
