As a long-time member, I can't say enough good things about Surge Cycling. The community they've…read morebuilt is truly special, and the staff make everyone feel welcome from day one. Spin classes here are my go-to for relieving stress and staying in shape--always a great experience.

It starts with the ambitious attitude you get when you join the Surge Cycling mailing list and…read morestart receiving incredible offers on class packages. "I can do this, I'll have a butt you can bounce quarters off of and be able to eat unlimited KitKats". I highly recommend getting there early so you can pick your favorite bike and warm up. This facility does not have showers, but does have changing rooms and bathrooms, and a water bottle refill station. If you want cycling shoes you have to bring your own or rent them. Staff are super helpful getting you set up on a bike. The studio provides towels and ear plugs in case the music is too loud (and sometimes for an old lady like me, it is). If you are not an experienced cyclist, I recommend picking up a pair of padded bottoms, or your lady parts will hurt FOR DAYS post the first few classes. I also recommend checking out the various instructors as they all have different styles. I will say, Surge's classes seem heavier on the choreography angle than other studios I have been to in the past. The only other thing would be nice if there was some other way to update the targeted gear and RPM level, as it's sometimes difficult to hear. This is how the class works: Minutes 1-5: oh, this is easy! Model butt, here I come! Minutes 6-8: uh oh Minutes 8 - 15: this is getting intense Minutes 16-30: Dear God, what have I done? Minutes 31 - 40: don't puke, don't puke Minutes 41- 45: sweet relief is almost here And just like having a baby, you forget all about all the pain and only remember the amazing, exhilarating moments and cardio high post class and do it all again a few days later. 10/10 would recommend to everyone

The first StarCycle in MN! I was fortunate enough to be one of the first groups to cycle and…read moreenjoyed it! Every class is 45-minutes which is perfect vs. typical 60-minutes fitness classes which in my opinion, helps you get in and out quickly allowing extra time for errands, commuting, etc. The studio is brand new so of course it's extremely clean, the parking is still under construction (but will be done soon) and the staff was welcoming and kind. You do need to have clip in shoes in order to cycle which you can bring your own or rent and there is a water fountain to fill up water bottles. Cycling is done to the beat of the music with candles and dim lights. One unique thing about this studio is that there is free child care on-site. I don't have kids and didn't use it, but this sounds like a major perk! Clip in, check out, let's ride!

They offer strength, cycling and sculpt / yoga classes, so something for everyone. Cycling - It is challenging and fast paced but the instructors always show modifications for you to do what feels best. They have cycling shoes you can borrow for free in every class. Strength- I was initially so intimidated by the strength classes and did not know what to expect. I now go like twice a week to these classes and love to be able to see my progression each week. Once again, the instructors are so accommodating to injuries or things that just don't feel quite right. Sculpt / Yoga - These classes are so nice, it is a heated room, and it challenges my core and strength. There is plenty of street parking and other metered parking in the area for like $3/hour.

Edit: I had to edit my review. I was SO ready to sign up. When we took the intro class it was…read moresuggested to take 10-15 1.0 class to ease in. However, when I looked at the schedule there are limited options. Unfortunately, only evenings (after 4pm) work for me and this location only has 3 options and those are basically full. If you work from home or not at all you will have lots of options. So sad. My mission is to try new things and go places i decided to try pilates reformer. I didn't know what to expect but I was excited because this was going to be different than floor pilates. I went to the 30min intro class to just try it out. We got some introduction and hopped on. The resistance was super easy, but what I didn't know is I would feel it later, lol. Dana was so great and because of her I'm considering the 8 pack/month pass. The manager was welcoming and they don't pressure you at the end of class to sign up. The class speaks for itself. If you've ever wanted to try reformer go to this location when Dana is teaching for the free (can't beat free) intro class. Even though it was only 30mins I still felt it the next day, in a good way.

Studio Me focuses on personal training and small group training, with some bootcamp and yoga…read moreclasses. The facility is a little hidden, and only accessible through a door inside the parking garage (see photo of mural near the doors, and the buzzer). When I went, the buzzer wasn't working, so I was stuck in the garage for a few minutes until someone saw my email for help and came to let me in. There is free parking validation for the parking ramp available. The workout space and changing area was very nice- colorful, clean and with lots of plants as decor. I was part of a semi-private training group of 4 people. The coach was professional and friendly, and rotated among each person to supervise or demonstrate movements. The workout started with foam rolling and some warm-up movements, then transitioned into high-rep low-resistance activation movements, incorporated 3 different higher-weight movements, and ended with a short cardio finisher. The entire workout was guided by a tablet, onto which the class plan for the day had ben pre-loaded. It had a timer and listed the weights and reps for each movement. When you finished one set, you simply clicked "continue" on the screen and the next exercise you had to do would appear. I think this tool is useful for keeping track of individual progress (both with overall weight progression over time and during a particular workout), especially when in a group setting, but I found the constant required engagement with the tablet to be annoying. I really didn't like having to click after every set of every exercise. It made me feel like the tablet was telling me the workout, rather than the coach, and given that the studio only allows access for guided workouts, this didn't work for me. (Note: when you sign up, you also get access to 8 bootcamp or yoga workout sessions a month in addition to your personal training). The studio was having an upcoming 10th anniversary celebration, so there is a community of people who utilize the offerings. Studio Me also offers fit testing, and quarterly challenges for clients. They want you to come consistently and ideally at the same times each week to ensure you progress. I can see this kind of workout being good for people with a very specific goal (like they say on their website, some kind of physical therapy or lifting goal), but it wasn't the right fit for me, as I didn't feel like I got a full-body workout from my 45 minutes, and I didn't like the tablet system. The sessions are also super expensive: 2 sessions a week under a 6 month contract costs $359, 3 sessions $539. 2 sessions a week under a 12 month contract costs $327, 3 sessions $490.

If you're someone who usually dreads working out, StudioME is the place that will change your mind!…read moreI'm not a gym person by any stretch, but the trainers here are simply amazing. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and they genuinely meet you where you're at, be it through fitness coaching or private training. They never push you beyond your limits, but instead, encourage you in ways that make you want to keep going. What really stands out is how welcoming the atmosphere is; there's no judgment, just a sense that everyone is there to feel their best. The trainers take time to understand your goals and challenges and adjust routines in ways that feel manageable, which has been huge for me as someone who feels intimidated by fitness. Every session feels like progress, and I leave each time feeling accomplished rather than overwhelmed. StudioME has really shifted my perspective on working out, and I'm actually excited to keep coming back! For anyone who feels hesitant about the gym scene, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I don't mind parking on the street since there's usually quite a bit of availability, but they also have a parking lot that is free upon validation inside. They are also in ClassPass!
