I signed up for a standard spin class at CCP through ClassPass and had no issues getting a confirmation email and details about my booked class. I arrived 5 minutes early and was able to find parking right out front. This studio is as far from your chain cycle studio as you can get. It's a small, intimate cycling area that was decorated in such a way that I felt like I could've been inside a lava lamp. There was a fan going and what smelled like eucalyptus essential oil. The instructor and co-owner of the business was friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable. He picked an interesting variety of upbeat music to cycle to and the class was customizable as far as how difficult it was. You're able to go your own speed with whatever level of resistance, though they do encourage you to challenge yourself. I'm used to the clip in shoes that the chain cycle class provides, but here you have the option to wear your own sneakers and just strap them to the pedals. I felt like this wasn't as comfortable to me, but it could just be personal preference. There are no metrics tracked here. You can't see your speed or watts and you don't see if you're going faster or slower than the bike next to you. So, if you're looking for competition that's displayed numerically, this isn't the place. After the class, I was treated to a quick walk through of the total gym property which included a weight lifting area, kickboxing, a whole rowing gym in the basement, and an area for group classes that had some TRX straps. I was impressed! read more

CCP is my "go to" gym whenever I'm in Pittsburgh. They always deliver a warm welcome and a great workout!! I leave feeling refreshed and renewed! read more

CCP it's like home. Its safe, supportive and non judgemental. I have leaned on my CCP family when I had the absolute worse times of my life. Whether it was a really tough work out, a high 5, spilling my guts over a spino bike or just a simple hug- the day was always a lot better to begin. read more

California Cycle Path has knowledgeable fun instructors. Never had just a routine workout at CCP. My favorite place to be at 5am!

I've been a "Cycle Path" for years and would not go anywhere else! Larry's spin class this morning was well-worth getting up at 4:30 a.m. Not only did we have a great spin ride on International Women's Day with only strong female voices on the playlist, but Larry also had a documentary playing on the screens showcasing the history of the women's movement. California Cycle Path truly cares about their client's fitness and overall well-being. read more

I wish Yelp would let me give ten stars to one business a year. Because I'm pretty sure California Cycle Path would get those ten stars. Yes, it's only January. And yes, I've only been going there since December (a month ago). But I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was recommended to me by a friend. Over dinner one night in November with a friend, I had shared that I had decided to make some lifestyle changes that included being more active. I was never a very active person and I'm still slowly getting into better shape. I expressed my interest in finding somewhere to do indoor cycling or swimming during the colder months to keep moving. My friend understood this and explained that at CCP you can pay per class as you go, there's no sign-up fee or monthly membership fee. But more importantly, there's no judgment. I went for my first indoor cycling class early one morning. My friend said Larry was a good instructor to start with. He was very welcoming and supportive, told me that if I needed to just sit and pedal, that was fine if I couldn't keep up with what he was doing. That first class really did kick my butt, but Larry and the other people in the class were all very encouraging. I knew it would get easier and I had to push myself a little, but I had fun. I've since been to a rowing class with Lauren and John, a Zumba class with Laura and two more spinning classes (one with Larry and one with Lee Ann). All the instructors have their own style but even my second class with Larry was completely different (he even mentioned that he could see I was doing better). They have classes early mornings or evenings so it's easy to attend a class before or after work. On weekends they have classes throughout the day. My work schedule varies, but I try to find time to go to a class at least once a week. I've bragged CCP so much that a few of my coworkers are now also hooked. There is even a small lounge area where you can get water, coffee and/or snacks at CCP. Oh, and did I mention the peppermint infused cool towels they hand out at the end of a cycling class? If you can't tell, I've been chatting CCP up to anyone who will listen. I only bought a package of 10 classes to start because I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. Boy, was that a mistake. If you're looking to get fit, get more active, or just something different but are hesitant or anxious over the usual gym atmosphere then you need to check out California Cycle Path. read more

California Cycle Path Indoor Cycling Studio - Yoga Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Found out about this place through ClassPass! So happy that I did. I attended the Dance Fitness class, and my instructor Megan was sooo engaging. I took my mom, and she had so much fun too. Everyone is super warm and inviting in a judgment-free and safe space. read more

I've never taken a class here that I didn't think was wonderful! The instructors are energetic and motivating without being overwhelming! They have a nice mix of classes to fit the mood or exercise desire! Highly recommend! read more

My gym is better than your gym! Unless you go to California Cycle Path too. I found a place that actually makes me look forward to working out. The instructors are very motivating and will push you to achieve. With that being said, this gym is for people of all fitness levels from beginners to hard core enthusiasts. Everyone is made to feel welcome. Huge variety of classes offered. So grateful to have found a place that is helping me surpass my goals!! read more

I love the rowing classes here! The instructors are so friendly and helpful. I hate working out but I really like taking these classes. Prices are fair and classes are offered at great times. Easy to park on the street for the evening classes. read more

CCP is the type of Fitness Studio that it's easy to come back to even when I haven't been exercising as much as I should/wish I was. I'm always glad when I get back in the gym and I'm reminded that it's the supportive people, instructors and members, that make CCP so GREAT. read more

Strictly Straps with Jon is amazing! Welcoming environment and always a great workout!

Taleesha is awesome! I love coming to her 5:00 am Monday classes! It's a great jumpstart to the week. I'm glad I have an option to workout that doesn't conflict with my busy day to day schedule. She teaches a very upbeat class that helps you feel the burn. read more

Early this year California Cycle Path added TRX, Zumba, and Bokwa classes. I think I should probably just set up a cot in the back. I am at CCP nearly every single day. The instructors are all incredibly motivating, friendly, and knowledgable. I have taken fitness classes and been a member of several other gyms, and none of them come close to comparing to the atmosphere of CCP. They have established one of the most welcoming, supportive fitness communities imaginable. From the beginner to the expert, there is most definitely a place for you here. No one should feel uncomfortable walking through the doors here whether they are trying to lose weight, tone up, or just maintain an active lifestyle. You will always be met with a smile, a towel, and the encouragement you need to reach your goals (from the instructors AND members!). Thank you to John, Larry, and the whole CCP gang for changing my life for the better! read more

CCP is such a fun place to workout. The instructors are all helpful, friendly, and fun. The classes are all in a" judge free" zone. I look forward going to classes there. Scheduling in advance keeps me stay accountable, even on those dark Winter nights or a long day at work, I still go. I love CCP, it is by far the best gym I have been to. read more

I went to a spin class on Sunday, my first time there. Lauren B made me feel right at home! It's a very welcoming place. I will be back!

I got the 1 week trial membership, and it was great! If I lived a little closer this would be an awesome place to add to my regular workout routine. There is a good variety of classes, the instructors are great, and they'll make you sweat! The instructors and the other patrons are all super friendly and give this studio a great community feel. Especially if you're looking for a workout space where you won't be intimidated, definitely check this studio out! read more

I've take so many group exercise classes at so many different types of gyms, and this one is by far my absolute favorite! I'm a long distance runner and was looking for something to cross train with and this gym has everything I was looking for. #1. It's so cheap for what you get compared to corporate /chain gyms #2. There's classes early in the morning and late into the evening #3. I've never cursed nor seen so many lights during a spin class before!! #4. Everyone knows everyone else's names and that is so special. Thanks again for all the opportunities CCP! read more

Yesterday was my very first class. After seeing such a positive change both physically and mentally in someone close to me I knew I had to give it a try! My first class was with John. It was a 60 minute class but with the upbeat music and all around good vibes it felt like it went by so quickly. We burned nearly 600 calories! At the gym by myself I prob would have only burned 300-400. I'm now booked through the month of June! Thankful for my best friend recommending this place to me and for everyone there to be so amazing! read more

I LOVE the community at cycle path - the environment is inclusive & welcoming, plus the instructors and fellow members are amazing!! doing the 2 weeks for $20 was the best decision ever and attend classes 4-5 times a week, my only regret is that I wish that I would started sooner!! 10/10!!! read more

Genuine, caring, knowledgeable and a fun group of people! Don't hesitate to try them out. I went my first time without knowing anyone yet instantly felt like a part of the family. read more

I can't speak highly enough about CCP. It is spin for the soul! The instructors are wonderful and treat you like family, but the real gem (in my opinion) is John. His energy, spirit, and ability to keep me gleefully engaged are phenomenal. I have never been so happy to exercise, ever. Spin is my favorite class, but they also offer boxing, open gym, yoga, dance fitness, pilates, rowing, and more! Classes are typically 45min - 1hr and your encouraged to do your personal best. They're challenging and always have awesome music blasting! Other important details: the location is safe and clean, plenty of free on-street parking, the staff and class-goers are friendly, they offer various and convenient class times, and prices are fair. They have multiple restrooms, a changing room, snacks, water, cold towels after spin class, and more! - Yes, they charge if you don't show up to class or cancel late, but it's fair, and they're willing to refund the cost if you provide a reason and don't abuse the system. Sometimes they cancel classes, but it's only if 3 or fewer people are signed up...I can't blame them for that and it's rarely happened to me. Again, I can't say enough good things about CCP. I highly recommend it to all! read more

The instructors are great and a good variety of classes. Scheduling the class in advance keeps me accountable to show up too!

My favorite spinning studio in Pittsburgh! John and Lauren are both welcoming, hilarious and motivating. The atmosphere is great for all levels of fitness and the classes are varied and never boring. I love the lights and music during class. They provide snacks, coffee, tea and water, which are great amenities. read more

CCP is an extremely welcoming environment! I have not been to a gym in years and was nervous but every staff member was so nice! My first class was full body row and Lauren Bradford was a fantastic instructor! She made sure I knew how to work the equipment and took the time to answer all of my questions. Would definitely recommend joining!! read more

I have to share my story with CCP and becoming a dedicated CyclePath!! I weighed 213 pounds, size 16/18 and started with a friend, Tammy in February 2016. We started with a TRX class and could not even do a plank in the TRX straps... While we were laughing at ourselves, an instructor, Eddie Pavlick, tells us not to worry that this is our baseline... We will be stronger soon! Flash forward to December 2016...We are STRONG! I now weigh 180 and wear a size 12. I am proud of my sculpted arms MINUS the old lady bat wings... Thanks to many TRX circuits and Sunday morning POUND reps. Two of the owners, Larry Crouser and John Bratton welcome you to their studio like you are family. Although most CyclePaths want to keep this studio "our little secret", we all are evangelizing the virtues of California Cycle Path.. No Judgement Zone!! A place to workout where you can walk in alone and walk out with CCP workout buds!! read more

Today I went to this studio for the first time, and John was amazing. He was so friendly, warm and an awesome fitness coach. He was super fun and I loved the class. What I also like is that they welcome all levels, and everyone was really comfortable with him. I have already told my girlfriends about this place! I will definitely be back ! read more

So happy that CCP has reopened!! I love this facility not only for it's convenience & variety of classes, but also for the great instructors & friendly members! read more

Positive and effective staff support in a welcoming and judgment free, diverse and inclusive space. What's not to like?

I started going to California Cycle Path with the intention of working out for only a month to cram in as much exercise as I could before I was a bridesmaid. Well, that was about 4 months ago, and I'm still an active member! CCP is a great place for a structured workout in a welcoming atmosphere. Let's talk about the workouts, then the atmosphere. CCP is not a gym, so you won't be able to come here to stroll on a treadmill or juice your lats and blast your delts like at a gym. The core offerings at CCP are spinning/cycling classes, TRX Suspension classes, and Zumba. Other classes such as Deskercise, Personal Conitioning, Yolates, and Bone Building (for those at risk for osteoporosis) are also offered regularly, but not as frequently as the core classes. I've taken cycling, TRX, and Zumba; and they're all great. Cycling is great for an intense calorie burn and cardiovascular conditioning. The music is bumping, and there's a screen behind the instructor showing various cycling paths, or the Red Bull challenges, or psychedelic shapes that move to the music. There's a wide variety of music played, though I think it would be fun to have themed classes. For example, specific artist (eg., Beyonce, Britney, or Michael Jackson) or genre (hip hop, classic rock, EDM) class. The TRX is awesome for building muscle, improving coordination and athleticism. I think it was invented by some Marine guys, so, you know.... Zumba is the fun dancing exercise that's good for burning calories and cardiovascular health, coordination, and a bit of muscle building. I leave each of these classes sweating and happy. If you're like me, attending a gym/exercise class for the first few times can be nerve racking. I'm not in crazy good shape, I'm all alone, fitness people can be judgmental sometimes, etc... Everyone here is so freaking friendly, though, that after about 10 minutes, I was at ease. Here's the thing, I want to describe CCP as a family, because it feels that way. However, I always get a little antsy when I see a business described as a family. You don't always keep the highest standard for your family (that fancy hand soap is for guests!), and it suggests that there's already a formed group to which you do not belong. These worries have not materialized at CCP, though. The owners (John and Larry), the other instructors and the other members get to know you quickly, and you feel welcomed and comfortable. There's truly a variety of ages, shapes, races, fitness levels, and genders within the members. Cycling classes always end with cold, lavender-scented towels being handed out; the fridge is always filled with water and juice; there's always complimentary snacks and coffee available; the space is always clean; and I can always join or cancel a class through their website or app. California Cycling Path is a great addition to the North Shore/Brighton Heights area, and if you're looking for a different type of workout, give it a try! read more

California Cycle Path is hands down the best fitness studio in Pittsburgh. Passionate trainers, and great classes. A great place for beginners too read more

OBSESSED with CCP. I'm a runner and was looking for a place to take some cross-training classes without paying an expensive membership fee. First class is free (!!!) and when we told them we lived close they gave us an amazing discount. GREAT classes and instructors that are so welcoming and do a great job of incorporating all skill levels into classes. Love the cycling so far, can't wait to try other types! read more

1 or 15, at California Cycle Path the number does not matter because you matter. I was the only one able to make it to class this snowy morning. A lesser studio would have canceled class. Not CCP. I arrived to a shoveled and salted walk way and after I had my ass thoroughly kicked I was given a cold lavender scented towel to cool back down. This is what it means to really care about clients and how clients become friends. read more
