This is a super high intensity workout, to say the least! The music is loud, the lights flash and go on and off in line with the music, and the instructor (at least the one there this morning!) is very energetic!! 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! read more
