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

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!

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.

WOW- talk about a workout!!…read more 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!

Vibe Ride taught me how to enjoy exercise and now I look forward to coming almost every day! I have become stronger, healthier, and happier since joining this community and even roped my partner into becoming a regular. Spin has great music and the room is dark, so you don't have to feel self-conscious if you are worried about how you look when you work out. TRX and body classes are also excellent. All of the coaches are fantastic and have their own energy and flow so you can find the fit that works best for you. I especially love Cristol, De'Angelo, and Demetrius' classes. They are fun, encouraging, and committed to ensuring everyone has a wonderful experience, no matter their skill level. We've even completed Tough Mudders as a gym! I can't speak highly enough of these coaches-- and of Vibe Ride!

Then, about a year ago, made a medical issue that prevented me from being able to enjoy a massage until it resolved I discussed with a manager, and was told that massages under my membership would never expire Fast forward to Sep 2026. I chose to cancel my membership. I was told today that the spa policy changed in Sep, and my massages have been expired.

I think OTF is a great place to workout. I prefer having a coach that can keep me motivated and on…read moretask. If you don't like a coach telling you what exercises to do and cheering you on this is not a work out for you. OTF Is primarily cardio-based as more than half of the workout is in the treadmill and rower. With a third of the class on a treadmill and third of the class on a rower you're really pushing your aerobic fitness and caloric burn. The floor exercise is the last third of the class. In my opinion they can improve their floor exercises and work out as there isn't much time to build muscle but rather to burn fat. There are quite a few locations around Atlanta as OTF has become a very popular workout franchise. This specific location in Midtown has a parking deck for free parking. The classes at this location are almost always full. The coaches and staff are nice just like most locations. They have a bathroom for both sexes and two showers for you to use if you want to go before work. They have a wide range of class times so you can work out super early, mid day or late in the evening. Overall OTF is great for trying to lose weight, get in shape and meet new people while burning calories.
