Spin is usually not my exercise class of choice. Since I don't go often or do intense cardio it's quite challenging. A friend needed to use up some class pass credit and asked me to join her the other day. I agreed to go, this was my first time at this high energy spin studio. We picked the Vicious Cycle class with Shamyr and I was surprised that I enjoyed it more than other spin classes I've done in the past. First I needed to sign up. I wasn't sure what class option was for me so I called. I spoke to the owner Alexandra. She was friendly, helpful and patient. She was happy to explain each option was and let me choose what worked best for me. I opted for the 2 pack of classes for $25 since it was only a few more dollars than a single class. If you purchase a class from the studio you can bring a friend for $5. The class itself was high energy and a challenge. Shamyr had awesome electronic music with a lot of entertaining music videos that were graphic and offered a much needed distraction. It was a good way to zone out a little while still participating in the class. Most of the bikes in there had a lever on the resistance dial which allowed making adjustments a breeze. Sadly I didn't have this model bike but I'll go earlier and get one next time. I am glad this class was only 35 minutes, it was that intense. The studio was small, definitely a boutique workout class. There were about 20 or more bikes in a small space. The bikes were very close to one another so there wasn't a ton of personal space. Wipes were easily available to wipe down your bike and they were handed out at the end of class as well. I was the only person wearing a mask and it was pretty crowded in there. There were fans on but it was pretty hot. Not sure if they have AC? I went during the hottest week so it was quite toasty. Overall a good experience. I'll be back soon, hopefully on a cooler day, to use my second class . read more

Great workouts, great family who owns this and great music! Devastated by the fire that occurred.

5/5 stars for BikeorBar- I went from hating spin to loving it once I started coming here! I appreciate how at the beginning of each class they ask if anyone is new so that you can receive the proper help adjusting your bike and getting started, which is welcoming. For the non-spin classes (weights, barre etc) it is helpful that the instructors demonstrate the moves so that you have a visual of what you're supposed to do! The facility is clean, the 2 restrooms are clean, there is a filtered water station, and the instructors are all great! I never have a problem finding parking! read more

BikeorBar - Barre Classes Near Me - Buffalo, New York

After injuring my SI joint in 2016, I was terrified to work out for months and when I did start back up again I found that I was not enjoying my workouts when attending a regular gym. It was a few things: hard to motivate myself, didn't like the music and I felt so discouraged and embarrassed when I did not know how to use a machine. I felt very negative about myself when I went to the gym and I wasn't feeling the results. This all changed in 2018 when someone gifted me a 6 class pass to BikeOrBar. After trying one booty barre class on Saturday with Brit I felt excited to workout. The music is actual music I want to work out to, and the routines vary from class to class! Each class is different, but the consistent thing is you will get a good workout and you will need to chug water. I have now been going to BikeOrBar for the past 2.5 years and it's become a large part of my life. I love that I don't need another gym membership on top of this one and that I am not scared to ask for modifications. The instructors are nice, caring and will always make modifications and most importantly do not talk down on you. I truly can not recommend BikeOrBar enough and I am so glad that it is a big part of my life. read more

I have been going to Bikeorbar for a couple years now and I really like it. I am someone who is really bad at self motivating and needs a class and group setting and instructor to get a good workout. I started out just taking the spin classes and being afraid to take the others. The only other spin class I took was several years ago and was an older crowd at a gym. These are totally different, I love the music/music videos and the workouts are always so hard. I also like being able to see my stats/rank at the end of the class. Most of the instructors are very motivating and upbeat, my favorites are Brit, Steph, Stef and Morgan. I also really love the themed rides on Fridays- I have gone to Cardi B, summer themed, Christmas themed, and Pop punk/emo (my favorite!!) I branched out a little more this past year with barre classes, crosspin (half spinning and half stations with cross training), fit N filthy (a heated class with explicit music), booty barre, and peach schnapps (booty focused interval training). It's always nice to switch it up and do different exercises in the stations. The only thing I don't like about the studio is the size, but it clearly doesn't detract me from going there. Lack of parking and locker rooms doesn't really bother me as I'm always coming from home and don't need to change into workout clothes. It's really easy to sign up for the classes on the app and it keeps me motivated because you get charged if you "late cancel" within four hours of the class. I hold myself accountable to show up vs planning on going to a regular gym and doing cardio by myself with earbuds in. read more

I'm noticing a pattern here: I really wanted to like Bikeorbar, but felt underwhelmed by my experience. There were certainly many good points, but the facility is too small to achieve their communal goals. Again, I won't rule out a return to Bikeorbar in the future, but I'm not feeling an overwhelming desire to return. Maybe someday, but not now. I'll start with an overwhelming positive: the Surf-Barred class on Tuesdays and Saturdays, though I preferred the Tuesday class. For those of you not familiar with Surfset boards, they are balance boards in the style of surfboards and can be challenging but effective in your workouts. On Tuesday, the class is taught by Brit, and the Saturday class is taught by Tay. Brit is a phenomenal instructor, she breaks down each set with modifications at various levels, and is encouraging, especially for new students. Tay is also a good instructor, but I was turned off by her drill sergeant, food shaming, minimal modification style. You may find that effective, and many people do, but I didn't. Everyone is different. Spinning, typically a favorite of mine, is the most popular option at Bikeorbar. I am extremely picky about my spin classes and tried a few different instructors, but none of them really stood out for me. The class uses those heart monitor trackers and throws your numbers up on a giant screen for the whole class to see. Again, some people find this effective, but I found it flawed and in need of refining. Do yourself a favor and don't look at your numbers, the number will drop and you'll be surprised because you feel like your muscles are going to explode, but the numbers make it look like you aren't even trying at all. Again, good for some, not for me. Bikeorbar does have a serious issue in the capacity. The facility is small: there's no room between the bikes and you're often stepping on people on your way to the bathroom. No locker room here, change at home before you arrive. No off-street parking, I battled my way for spots along Elmwood. I didn't usually have any issues, but everyone knows I prefer a dedicated parking lot and make few exceptions. What I'm more concerned about is that classes are often filled over capacity and the studio is packed to the gills with regularity. I hope there's never an issue where you'd have to evacuate because you are already packed in like sardines and the exits are narrow. Finally, on a more superficial level, Bikeorbar seems preoccupied with being the "hot girl in the video". There are screens playing music videos during classes, which is good for having something to look at, but the music selections are of the same top 40 songs that represent the adage, commonly attributed to Voltaire, that "anything too stupid to be said is sung". You know what I mean. The screens should offer opportunities for theme classes, like 80s spin or boy bands or Michael Jackson or something, but instead, it's nothing but Jason Derulo, Ariana Grande, and a whole smattering of twerking thongs that speak for themselves. Wasted opportunity indeed. It stands to reason that Bikeorbar will eventually outgrow the space on Elmwood, and maybe I'll return when they do. But until then, I'll have to find a spin class where the girl in the video wants to do something with her life besides demonstrate how tightly her thong fits. read more

See all

Great place with high energy. If the workout doesn't challenge you then you're not pushing hard enough. I think I'll be back, gotta find a way to make this a regular part of my routine read more

BikeorBar - Barre Classes Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Not to be confused with "Bi Skor Bar" which is a candy that is a little confused about its sexuality, this place is right in the middle of the Elmwood Strip and is a fantastic place to work out with some really awesome employees and a great atmosphere. This place clearly can't decide if it's for bikers, or if it's just a regular bar for everyone. In fact it is neither. It's a fitness place. A really cool fitness place with some really amazing machines, such as the vibration machine in the back, and a lot of elliptical cycle machines, which are all state of the art. It's a popular and unique and awesome place, and one where a lot of city folks would really enjoy working out. Oh, and if you're into cute people, the employees here are like... wow. And that is regardless of which gender you are attracted to. They are also super nice in that they let me try some of their expensive machines for free and it was a real experience. To try and help with my bad soccer injuries and stuff and what not and crap. There was a Yelp event here, and it went really well, they were extremely friendly staff and brilliant equipment. This is highly recommended as a unique and original and exciting and fun and different place to work out, and if it helps you look anything like some of the employees here, then you are in luck. read more

Took a 45 minute spin class with MJ this morning and she KILLED IT. Awesome and challenging playlist with a good mix of climbs, sprints, and movements on the bike. Centrally located in buffalo and clean studio with lots of lights and friendly atmosphere. Make sure you use the side door to enter! If you have the MINDBODY app you can register for your first class for $9!!! read more

BikeorBar - Barre Classes Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I am in the minority here, I know..I a bit of a diva when it comes to gyms though, so take this with a grain of salt. The ride itself is perfectly fine. First, I thought that this place had a "culture". I noticed people on their cell phones during the class which was distracting. It wasn't impacting my ride per se, but watching people text- leave class early, come in late was tough for me (the perpetual on-time person). I didn't feel included or welcomed at all. There is also a huge board in the front of the room with everyone's numbers on it. This was a turn off for me... I did not want to compete with a bunch of people, but that's what I found myself doing. As other reviews have said, it's a small cramped space. I couldn't move my arms without bumping into the person next to me, but I also get that it'ts location makes a larger space impossible. Agreed on the parking- nothing designated and makes it a requirement to get to class earlier than necessary. There was no filtered water available, just a sink in the front of the workout space. I was confused with all the screens- there was a music video, the number board, some weird bike race thing that showed up every now and then. Again the workout was good, but I don't think I'll make it a priority to come back. There are other gyms with more amenities in the area that entice me! read more

I like spinning. This is a very fun spin studio. Many classes are not just spin, but also add on some barre work or a cross fit type course or other non bike activity. It's a nice combo. It was the first studio of its kind in Buffalo I think. Very cool. I've only been a few times over the past few years because it's very loud. Each time I go thinking I'll buy a package. But then it's just overwhelming to me. So I don't buy a package. Parking here is street and can be difficult. read more

Update! The only place I go to workout! The instructors are fun, energetic, and are there to whip you in shape. I have tried almost all of the classes and have never been disappointed although my favorites are barre and pop that ass-ana! The best parts about Bikeorbar: 1) schedule flexibility with classes (there is ALWAYS a class), 2) it is locally owned and the owners are always there playing a super active role in the success of the company, 3) the instructors are trained professionals but they keep in fun because let's face it working out isn't always a treat, 4) you can't beat the price- check for yourself, 5) they are very accommodating and not restricted by large corporation policies to make sure you're happy with their business, 6) I mean I can keep going but try it for yourself! Grab your friends and check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

As you stroll down Elmwood, you may be lucky enough to pass by an electric LOUD powerhouse of humans getting sweaty. What is this place you ask? No no. Do not be alarmed. It is not a biker bar... it is a spin instructed studio with strength training classes AND the ever sought after twerking classes. With an extensive list of classes throughout the day, they make it easy for you to get that workout in within your busy schedule. The instructors are like family, always there to lend a hand, send motivation and give the best kind of support. Being a member of this literal RIDE OR DIE team has changed my outlook on working out. I have gained a healthier lifestyle and a core group of friends. How could you say no to all of that positive energy?! Get your ass to Bike or Bar. Try it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been frequenting Bike or Bar as often as possible for the past nine months now and this place is seriously my new addiction! The people who work here are great, the class schedule is available online and it's flexible/convenient for me even with my busy schedule! The hour I spend here daily has me burning a ridiculous amount of calories, feeling energetic and craving more! I honestly never thought I would get into spinning but now I can't seem to get enough. I use to enjoy running on the treadmill and stair climbing but I ended up with some horrible pain in my knees and can no longer enjoy those things. Spinning has allowed me to keep up with my love for cardio and while spinning, I rarely ever feel any pain in my knees unless I put too much resistance on and that's on me. The last couple months, I've been trying out their Cross Spin classes and I love them! You get a half hour of spin and a half hour of exercising your whole body, building muscle through weight-bearing and strength training, developing speed and agility working out through various stations in the class. Every station is challenging and working out a different muscle, the music is great, it's high intensity and really a lot fun. I can't say I've ever been bored with a workout or felt like I needed to look elsewhere to find something better. So here's the thing... if you're looking for a place that has showers, a locker room and large well-lit restrooms, this is not the place for you. I change at home or at work before I arrive. Parking is also horrible on Elmwood Avenue. Sometimes I have to park around the corner and walk. Also, this place has loud music blaring all day and some people aren't into that, if you're one of them, look elsewhere to workout. Otherwise, I can't stress how much I love this place and how excited I am when I come to class and leave. The endorphins... love it! read more

It really does feel like a bar- loud music, neon lights.... Made me want a drink! The urge to drink alcohol will go away after 5 min on the bikes. Really good spin class. They also do TRX, barre, kettlebells and rowing. Sign up for classes in order to insure your spot. I will say- this workout is intense! May not be the best if you're shy or uncomfortable working out with model types. My flabby self doesn't care. I eat carbs, so I'm happy! Bring lots of water. They supply towels read more

One of the best fitness studios in Buffalo! I love the fact that it is family owned and inexpensive. They don't try to lure you into buying a package or pay monthly like other gyms do. They understand everyone's schedule is different and they let you pay for individual classes. The space is really small, but it doesn't matter once you start seeing results, and trust me, you WILL see results. I went to Brittania's "Bootybarre" class every MWF and saw results in only a month. Their customer service is impeccable. They won't forget your name! I highly recommend this place. read more

The owner is awesome and they are so supportive and inviting! I love that they have a large following yet their service is above most gyms in the area! Highly recommend a spin class! read more

I love their classes, spin or barre are both major bang for your buck. Not only are the instructors high energy, the ambiance is fun, lights/music etc but one time I hit "reserve" on my phone, hopped in the car and ran in the door.........only to realize I wasn't on the check in list. I realized that I hadn't waited to see a confirmation and my phone actually said the class was full. I told the instructor, hoping for I don't know what but she actually had a spin regular take her bike and she coached from the floor so that there was an extra bike for me. Honestly, that makes this a place a perfect 5 star for me, I'd done all the hard work of putting on pants and getting there and I would have been so disappointed to go home. So customer service is amazing and I promise you, you won't feel like you wasted your hour, you'll burn. I also love that they offer some combo classes like spin and abs - and just 15 minutes of their ab workouts are enough to exhaust your muscles, I promise. read more

As someone who has never been in a spin class before, I was nervous and excited for my first one to be with BikeOrBar! My friend absolutely loves their classes and I decided to try one with her. I signed up for a Saturday 8:15am 45 minute spin class and prior to class my main questions were: what do I need to bring and would it be difficult finding street parking? All you need to bring is a water bottle, yourself, and that's it! Street parking was easy to find and I arrived to class 5 minutes early, which gave me just enough time to check-in, get on a bike, and get settled. I would highly recommend wearing sneakers that are flexible and fit well on your feet, as well as short sleeves or a tank top! I wore a cropped long sleeve and I really could have used less fabric because class really makes you DRIP with sweat haha. The ambiance to the biking studio was amazing with colorful lights, great music, and a screen that you can look at to see how you're doing (which is anonymous btw)! I had Katey as my instructor and she was both funny and motivating! It also really helped for me to have my friend there because she helped me push through! Everyone in the class was focused on themselves with no judgement of others which I appreciated. The 45 minutes passed by pretty quickly and my legs felt sooo tired afterwards, however, I left feeling super proud! Would recommend!! read more

Feel free to take my review with a grain of salt because I am not a spinning expert. In fact, I hated spinning prior to coming to BikeorBar. So I can't offer much by way of comparison. I like to go to their "CrosSpin" classes. 30 minutes of spinning and 30 minutes of circuit training (a combination of rowing, ab workouts, burpees/pushups or other upper body training, sometimes squats). This is the perfect combination for me - I get way too bored spinning for more than 30 minutes. I've only experienced a couple of the trainers, but so far I am a fan. They're friendly and helpful without being at all judgmental or "know-it-all." The music they choose is great - particularly Britannia. She picks great music videos - not only are they visually stimulating but the beats are motivational. Other instructors may have good music but don't play the corresponding music video. The circuit classes are also great. Mixing rowing into the class is a great way to build some muscle while still getting some cardio in. Classes are packed but you sign up in advance so you're guaranteed a spot. The other people who attend are friendly (about 90% women). read more

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, emphasis on the knees and shoulders. Those are just a few of the parts that are now aching on my poor body from yesterday's CrosSpin class. I've been hesitant on the whole 'Cross Fit' craze, namely because I feel like an idiot bouncing my not so tight body around in front of others. However, this environment was small, cozy and comfortable enough that I didn't feel overwhelmed and intimidated by manly gruntable equipment. (Anyone who has been to a gym will understand that comment.) With that being said, I had nothing to lose as the first session was FREE, something you don't see a lot these days and needless to say, I'm hooked! Literally dripping sweat from the end of my nose, my face was glowing after all was said and done. After such a great burn and an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment, this friendly laid back staff made me feel no pressure. This therefore prompted me to purchase an additional 26 classes, with no hesitations on my end after clearing up all questions quickly and easily with a team member over the phone. I highly recommend this local establishment to lose the flab in an accepting environment. read more

I just had my first KICK-ASS workout at Bike or Bar this morning at 6am and it ROCKED! Colleen is an excellent instructor (she also teaches at the JCC), she sets the bar high so you get what you came for. There's no pressure to do more than what your body can handle. The music selection is good and up-beat-no classic rock or soft rock here. (not sure about the other classes? Bueller? Bueller?) So, if it's your first class, give it a try and don't be shy. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer as they're open longer. Rowing? Sounds awesome, and I love juice bars! All classes are free until the end of March! Go get your spin on! read more

I came on a Wednesday evening during their first opening week. I was really excited as recently I have become a huge fan of spinning and thought a speciality spin place would be grand. There was little organization upon coming in but my fiance and I got there early enough to reserve our bikes. I did not like these bikes as much as the bikes at my regular gym (the BAC) even though I thought the bikes here would be fab. Also, not sure if it was because the classes were free, there were a lot of spinning noobs who did not understand spin-etiquette. Texting, talking and a guy removing his shirt midway through class was distracting. Our instructor had never taught a class before and it showed. I don't recall her name. I found the class to be quite boring and I didn't feel as though I got a great workout. Not sure how the other instructors are, but this newbie didn't seem ready to lead a class to spinirvana. My experience did not make the cost of BoB vs. my regular gym membership worth it, so I'll likely stick to my fave classes at the BAC. read more

Having moved away from Buffalo, I miss Bikeorbar soooooooooo much! I needed to use the rest of my classes before I moved so I went to a bunch of barre classes taught by Anastasia. LOVED the classes there! I just really loved how you could tell you were getting a great workout without having to be super coordinated or a super ballerina. She taught the class so that you FELT the awesomeness the next day. I've taken other barre classes where if you didn't have ballet training, your position was all wrong, and you were basically wasting your time. Overall: My favorites are rowing classes with Jordan and barre classes with Anastasia. This place is a must try if you live in the Elmwood Village area! read more

I've been to some good classes in the past, but the last class I took was incredibly boring! Nobody seemed to be into the class, including the instructor (TJ). He was super flat, was off the rhythm of the music, and tried to motivate us by berating us. Not my idea of motivation. The bikes all seem like they have issues with their adjustments and feel very worn. Sad that this place feels like it's gone downhill. read more

If it were not for an Yelp Fit event last Friday, I would have still walked past it thinking it was a bar for motorcycle bikers lol. I'm so glad I finally discovered what this hype is all about. The BikeorBar is filled with friendly and knowledgeable staff and clientele. I loved that it doesn't smell like a sweat sauna as most small studios can, and how clean everything is. The stationary bikes are the nicest I've seen, and arranged in a way that you can enjoy a full spinning class and not feel as if your personal bubble is squished by the bikers next to you:) Not to mention the crowd here is so friendly and social, it's just such a positive vibe that leaves you feeling good physically and mentally after your workout. Alex led the spinning class last Friday and she was phenomenal! I love her music video selections and deejaying skills while pushing us to spin harder and throwing fun trivia questions at us throughout the workout. The entire staff was phenomenal, Brit has such good form when demonstrating different crossfit stations, I was totally mesmerized! You can tell everyone loves working here and the energy really shows. I totally didn't know Alex was the owner until someone pointed it out because she was just so down to earth and unassuming. In all, it's the clean and compact facility, state of the art equipment, fun crowd, and phenomenal staff that gives this place a solid vibe and 5+ stars that is sure to grow into a strong BikeOr Community and make it a permanent institution in Elmwood Village. read more

I tried my first spinning class last night! Woot! I think it might not be the sport for me but it was fun to try it! And I would most likely go back and try it again; just can't see myself getting really into it. It was a spur of the moment decision to go here -my Power Yoga Buffalo class was too full for my comfort level so I ditched last minute and drove back downtown after work to come home. I've been meaning for quite some time to try a spin class at BikeorBar so I changed tack and headed to BikeorBar. I felt good getting there a full 20 minutes early, being a newbie and all. The girl sitting at the desk when you walk in was very pleasant and signed me in. I had to speak up and let her know I'm new at spinning -the room full of bikes 6 inches apart from each other was intimidating to say the least. The owner walked by at this point and offered to help me set up. I was grateful for this! He showed me how to adjust the bike for my size (being petite, I have to say, I was quite comfortable once I was pedaling. He gave me a range to keep my pace at during class -he said his goal was for me to "just make it through class." This intimidated me further. I did make it through class but could hardly walk back to my car parked a block away! If you are a competitive person and enjoy working out to loud music and fun, flashy disco lights, this class is for you! If you are not in great shape, this is not a great place for you to start. It is scary but also fun. I would recommend trying it if you've always wanted to see what an intense spinning class is like! read more

Love this place. Been wanting to try a spin class for years and finally decided to give it a shot. At first I wasn't sure about signing up beforehand, and the no-show penalty, just because I don't always get out of work on time. But given the size, of the place I totally understand the need for it. I love how the studio fits enough people to keep you motivated, but it also has an intimate feeling. The instructors are motivating, and also tough on you. About the midway point in the class you legs will feel heavy, but the instructors will push you through the pain. By the end of my first class I knew I would be back, sure enough I was back a week later and actually ended up purchasing a 20 class package!!! read more

If you're looking for a good sweat or a workout to break the mold, look no further. Let me preface this by saying I work with a personal trainer and will never leave her, but sometimes I need certain hours on the fly and I'm just looking for fun. That's why I love this place. You sign up online for a reasonably priced class. They offer great spin classes (I call it nightclub spin--they turn off the lights, turn on the music and turn on some funky glow lights everywhere) where you actually have an interactive video game-style component that follows your pace on your bike. They also have surfboard yoga, TRX, a class that utilizes drum sticks and drumming (I am dying to try this), crossfit/spin, and even a rowing class (I have had trouble finding these in Buffalo). People are very friendly and it's hard to get bored here. 5 stars! read more

I've been going to BikeorBar now for a couple months and I am completely addicted to their spinning classes! Not only is BikeorBar the most affordable place for a spin class in Buffalo, but they also have classes as late as 7:45 PM, making it easy for those who work long hours (like myself) to make it to a class after work. I also like their online class sign up, as it makes it easy to reserve your spot in a class and purchase class packages right on the website. I typically attend classes led by Ren, who is incredibly enthusiastic and motivating, making an hour-long spin class fly by. My only complaint is that I wish the spin room was a bit larger, as sometimes it feels claustrophobic sitting in the back row right against the wall. The spinning room is definitely packed with bikes! Otherwise, be sure to give BikeorBar a try! read more

Best way to start my day! They have really stepped up their 6am program in the past year. I love Lexi's classes. They are so energetic and she switches it up daily to keep it interesting. read more

I'm someone who has always struggled getting into working out, but have always wanted to be one of those girls who consistently workout and stay in shape. I HIGHLY recommend bikeorbar if you are someone who doesn't like traditional boring gyms, and are looking for a welcoming, unique, highly motivating gym. The instructors are amazing, and what is better than supporting a local family owned gym. I've been going for a few years now and it's the only place I can actually say I enjoy working out at. There is so much variety in the classes(and with the instructors) that you are bound to find something you like. Some of my favorites besides the spinning classes are : barre, peachy/circuit training classes, and step class. I have never left a class here feeling like I didn't get an amazing workout. They are constantly switching up classes and keeping things fun! read more

This is a fine place, where you can use your Blue Cross Blue Shield wellness card to pay for classes. That's what I did, so the cost was nice and low (though word is that they recently raised prices). Your first class is always cheap, something like $8. You're sure to get a great workout anytime! I want to say a lot of great things about Larry. He is a wonderful instructor and offers a lot of positive encouragement. He's always very well prepared and offers great physical wisdom that contributes to the customers' fitness goals. The one drawback is when the instructor named TJ filled in. He's something of a meathead, which might work for some people, but not me (Randolph). He was intense but not insightful. Also, the music he played was crude and childish. read more

I normally attend Lauren's spin classes today I went to MJ's express spin (video posted). Both are amazing and they offer so many other creative workout classes besides spin! I want to try a barre class one day. I especially love the hip hop spin class I've been to. These instructors will kick your ass and put a smile on your face even through all the sweat! You WILL become addicted. They will push you to challenge yourself. As far as the facility goes. I love the fans everywhere thank you lord! Haha. The front room is very cute and the monitors they have track your exercise and are really motivating for me personally. The equipment is well taken care of and new, especially the bikes those are brand new and easy to use. They also have cute apparel, jewelry and protein bars for sale. Bring back the skull bike tank I love that one!! Honestly I hate going to gyms, this is not that. This place makes me feel good and welcomed and challenged. Just give it a try and see why this is my jam!! Thank you BikeorBar!!! read more

Absolutely love love these classes. Haven't tried them with all of the instructors but everyone that I have had so far has been very motivating, positive, and soo much fun. I love the vibe and the loud music with the workouts. I work out so much harder and get better results when I have pushed In these classes. This gym was highly recommended by friends, and I am addicted to the classes. read more

Just took my first class here today, and I LOVED IT! Just what I have been looking for. All the staff that I met today was very friendly and helpful. The class (twerk booty barre) was so much fun. Our instructor Taylor was great. She really made us WORK! The music was perfect, really kept the class intensity going. The class worked on everything, arms, legs, core, butt and abs. I see a personal trainer 2 times a week for strength training but I was looking for something more for my cardio other than hitting the treadmill a few times a week, and since my gym really does not offer these fun classes, I am happy to say I finally found it here. I immediately purchased a package and already have signed up for 3 classes next week. I like how they offer classes late evening, Saturday's and Sunday's. And the online booking makes it super easy to sign up! I think I'm hooked already! Lol read more

I tried my first Bikeorbar spinning class the other day. I've only done spinning twice ever before. Once was last week at another studio and the other time was nearly 10 years ago. It was definitely a great workout, they definitely keep it interactive and entertaining. I absolutely love the ambiance in there. It's dark, with really great beats as if you're in a club. It's a great way to keep you going throughout class, it's definitely my type of music and it makes exercising really fun! I'm super out of shape so I couldn't really keep up with the class, I hope I can find something a little easier until I can build up more endurance for next time. read more

The overall experience is a wow! Great decor, and atmosphere, like a DIY trendy club! Even though it look like someone's garage decorated for a party, it felt as real as any other spinning experience, perhaps more because the staff's hard work is evident. The spinning trainers welcome you at the fro t desk and take our information and offer you services amicably, seamlessly! The class starts, and your guided through a series of exercises that are difficult to very challenging, but defintely get your legs burning and the sweat flowing. Obviously the experience can be defined by the trainers and their personality, and I've experienced many personalities and training styles, but all of them deliver a uniquely uniform experience and a playlist of energetic pop songs that match the rhythm of the songs to the rhythm of our workout! I must admit I'm the type of person the rolls his eyes at the typical spinning experience and the stereotypical trainers sayings like, "leave all your worries behind, you're so much more than your insecurities," which is pleasantly absent from BikeorBar. I genuinely like being here and the biggest compliment I could give is that this spinning joint isn't the least bit pretentious! read more

BikeorBar was the first real spin class I ever went to, I had no idea what to expect. As soon as I walked in it felt like I was in a club. The lights were low and there was a black light effect throughout the entire place. It definitely got me in the mood to have a good time (even while working out). Everyone is so nice when you walk in helping out with adjusting your bike, signing up/signing in for the class and just having a welcoming spirit in general. The class was definitely challenging but the music and the instructor kept me going!!! I loved the upbeat atmosphere and definitely recommend this to anyone interested in taking a spin class!!! read more
