I wanted to leave a review for CycleBar because the last one was left over 2 years ago, and I've had such a great experience I felt it was necessary to give praise where it's due. I started going to Cyclebar a few months ago and fell in love. From the front desk, to the instructors, to the community of riders, everyone is SO friendly and helpful. My first few rides I was nervous about getting my bike set up correctly, and the instructors and other riders always stepped in to help me. They have shoes available for riders at no extra cost. They also provide towels - one for during your ride and a cold one for after your workout. The water (and coffee) fill up station is nice to have before and after your ride. I fell in love with it so much that I got my husband going and now we go every Sunday together. You can purchase one time drop in rides, multi ride packs, or monthly ride subscriptions. First ride is free! If you love high intensity style workouts this place is for you! It has become my therapy. Love you CycleBar! read more

I have been riding at Cyclebar North Hills for over two years and it's been a great way to exercise. Cycling has been the only workout I can do that doesn't have impact on my back that I injured while in the military. High energy, great instructors, low impact ! I also like that it's a first generation Cyclebar so it has full clean showers and restrooms so I can work out and go right to work every thing provided such as filtered water, face towels, bath towels, shampoo, body wash! Great investment in my fitness goals. I am an unlimited rider! read more

CYCLEBAR - Celebrating milestone ride! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I started going to CycleBar in July 2022 and have absolutely loved it! Everyone that works at CycleBar is friendly and welcoming with a smile on their face. I was completely new to spin and they helped me clip in a couple times in the beginning! I love the challenging classes with the ability to follow your stats (through the app and the in class leaderboard). Plus, the classes are always changing with different music themes, Glow rides, and Performance/Classic/Empower/Connect rides! read more

CYCLEBAR - Fun and supportive atmosphere! - Cycling Classes Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Incredible workout! Unbelievable customer service - from booking a bike to a welcome card when I arrived. Also, appreciated the card with all of my info given to me at the end of my ride . Great place! read more

Have you ever thought, "Gee, I LOVE going to the club, but what's really missing from there is a stationary bike"? (No? Just me, then?) Well. Prepare to have your mind expanded, because you're going to wish that every dance club had stationary bikes after your first trip to Cyclebar. (Okay, I know this review is getting WEIRD fast, but just bear with me.) Cyclebar brings you a spin class that feels like a (really healthy and really sweaty) night out. The music is pumping, the lights are low, and you are free to let loose and forget all the cares and worries of the outside world. Here's how it works: first, you create a login on their website. This is how you sign up for class. You have to register for each class that you attend so you can secure a bike. You choose which bike you'd like for the class, so if you have a particular bike that you prefer (get your hands off of lucky #13, that one is All Me, btw), you can sign up for that. You can even set your preferences so that your fave bike is automatically selected if available when you schedule a class. When you arrive, you log in on the iPads by the wall. Underneath the iPads are numbered cubbies. In the one that matches your bike number, you'll find your cycling shoes (free rental each class, so you don't have to commit to buying a pair unless you want to). Pick up your shoes and head around the corner to the lockers. Your locker number matches your bike number as well, and there's no need to bring your own lock, you set the code on the door each time. Make sure to leave your cell phone in the locker - the studio is a distraction-free zone! You get a free water bottle at your first visit, and you can refill it each time you come in. They've also got complimentary ear plugs if the studio is too loud for you, and always a bowl of fresh fruit - your legs are gonna be grateful for that banana after your ride! Once you enter the studio, you find your bike and get settled in. Each bike has a slot to hold your water and a clean towel. (Seriously, this place remembers EVERYTHING for you!) Once you adjust the settings on your bike, lock your shoes in to the pedals (the CycleStar instructors will help you with all of this if you need), and get ready to go. The classes are generally 50 minutes long, and the awesome instructors take you through a solid warmup, a hill or two, maybe a race, a little bit of upper body workout, and then a cooldown and good stretch in each class. The music selections vary from class to class - sometimes there are even themed nights like Throwback Thursday and Mashup Monday. And, each class has its own individual playlist, so if you love what you hear, you'll get a link to the Spotify playlist so you can listen to it at home. Most classes I've attended have a mix of music, from dance and pop, to 80s and 90s, to hip hop, and even rock. But everything keeps you going from start to finish. Throughout class, your instructor will guide you through intervals. Sometimes, you'll ride to a really laid back beat and a slow RPM, but you'll have a ton of resistance on your bike. Other times, the resistance will be really light, but the song will be super fast. You ride to the beat of the song, so each song brings something new. During the races, the board at the front of the studio will light up and show the top riders, so you can push yourself to be your best. At the end of your ride, staff members will be waiting by the door with cool towels so you can clean off a little. Trust me - you will be SWEATY. There's also a small shower area in the back if you need to clean up enough to go out into the world after a class. They also have all sorts of promotional days - like Wine Down Wednesday, Happy Hour Ride on Friday, and Mojo Coffee Rides in the mornings, so you can sip on some good stuff after you put in your 50 minutes of hard work! And after your ride, you'll get an email of your Cyclestats. You can watch yourself progress from class to class as you improve and get stronger. You can compare the current ride to past rides, and get the link to the playlist you heard during class. I had an opportunity to try a free class when the studio first opened, and it was Love at First Ride. Unfortunately, the rates are a little pricey, but look for deals on classes (and you can get a free preview ride if you've never gone before). Personally, I love the experience so much and I find it so fun, I don't mind throwing in a few extra bucks for something I enjoy so much that is also such a great workout. But I would say that's really the only area of improvement I could think of (and the rates are still quite honestly cheap compared to other spin studios). They have monthly packages and multipacks that don't expire (but cost a little more). So what are you waiting for? Come on down and race me some night! (Just keep your bike shorts off of Lucky #13.... ;) read more

I started going to CycleBar spin classes through my ClassPass subscription and I absolutely love it! The staff was super welcoming during my first visit. They walk you through the process and help you clip into the bike since I had never done that before. I started coming here once I realized that I need a motivator when I work out, and the instructors here are often the ones who get me to push harder. I guess that's the point, right? Most classes last 45 minutes and vary a bit with speed and resistance to ensure a good, calorie burning ride. I usually burn between 350 and 500 calories depending on how I'm feeling. My favorite part is the fact that the bikes track each workout, and CycleBar emails you a workout summary each time so you can see how you're progressing. They also incorporate class rank, which I have mixed feelings about, but that's certainly a motivator, too! Obviously some instructors are better than others. Kara, Joy and Nancy are my personal favorites. Oh, they also provide moistened towels with lemon or lavender scents post workout that smell like heaven. Another bonus: There's free snacks once in awhile afterwards, too. Basically, it's the best. read more

Came here with my sister in law earlier this week. Did a 75-minute endurance workout. The pros: *Very clean and modern facility. It didn't feel like a workout studio typical to Pittsburgh or the general Midwest; it felt more like a SoulCycle or a Physique 57. As someone who travels and works out often, I often think that the amount by which atmosphere is thought to matter in Midwest studios is underestimated. Cycle Bar did not disappoint in this regard. *Upbeat and enthusiastic instructors. The music was also very upbeat. It's hard to stay high-energy for 75 minutes, but they made it happen. (Instructors were Andrea/Niki). Appreciated. *Very helpful in setting up the bike, talking you through shoe rental and the general facility, etc. Questions weren't deemed too simple or silly or anything. *Free shoe rental, water and fresh fruit. Always appreciated. Cons: *Email sent afterwards with calories burned (calculated by Cycle Bar) was off by over 200 from what my Apple Watch showed. Confusing. All in all, a fantastic workout. Highly recommended. read more

Niki is awesome!! Great set up and friendly staff. This is a little different from other workout boutiques because you get water bottles, towel service, hair bands, showers, mints, and fresh fruit as added bonuses. A few people sat on the incorrect bikes (you need the bike you signed up for to get your stats) and used the incorrect lockers (same number as bike seat) but I'm sure as people get used to the set up this will become less of an issue as time goes on. Would recommend to spin enthusiasts who are looking for a community feel! read more

I LOVE CycleBar North Hills! I've been to a lot of different spin places and this one sits at #1 in my heart for a variety of reasons! Upon my first visit there, I was welcomed right away and shown around the studio to ensure I knew what I was doing. I was assisted with my bike, shouted out during class and then returned to a thank you written on my locker with a special offer on class packages. I had never felt so welcomed at a studio before! Then there's the studio itself - state of the art, fun and clean! Easy class check in, tons of merch always available, lockers to correspond with your bike #, water bottle fill up (in different temps depending on your preference!), and even fruit and even extra little things like hair ties, and mints! Inside the Cycle Theater, the bikes are well maintained and my favorite spin bikes I've ever ridden. Easy to adjust and they run super smoothly - with lots of storage for items (I always need my water bottle, inhaler, sometimes tissues.....so I appreciate having enough space for it all!) The bike screen data is super helpful - with numbers corresponding to your gear which makes it super easy for the instructors to always call out the gears you should be striving for. The instructors I've had so far have been really great - especially Sara and Joy, some of the best classes I've ever had. Really great pacing, and combination of activities - not to mention great music choices! I love the variety of 80s, 90s, and 2000's songs while other studios I've been to only play current music that you'd hear in a club and for me, meh - haha. Which brings me to your Cycle Stats! After each class you take, you get an email that provides your stats including class rank from the session as well as a Spotify link to all of the songs that played in class which is super fun! The first thing I do when I get in the car after class is check my email for my stats - it's motivating to have that to look forward to! I also really appreciate the teaching style of several of the instructors I've had there - many always take time to focus on the mental part of the workout, encouraging you to reflect on your reason for being there, to leave your troubles outside the door and even close your eyes. This really helps to center me and really feel in tune with myself and my workout and I've never had that elsewhere! Additionally, the studio is kept pretty chilly - I LOVE IT! I've felt terrible at other studios during my workout when I get overheated when there's no airflow and that is never an issue at CB! It's always super comfortable! I also need to mention the light and sound systems - really set the mood and are fun and motivating in and of themselves. It's mostly dark so I never feel weird or embarrassed in a room full of lots of other sweaty folks! When your workout is over, you're met outside the door with lovely cool towels which make me feel pretty much like a queen. They also have great locker facilities which I wasn't even aware of for awhile - until I had to get ready to head to a birthday party right after my last class. Imagine how excited I was to find showers and even products to use - hair dryer and straightener, hair products, feminine products, deodorant, towels - you name it, they have it. This studio is amazing and though it's totally worth it, it is a little more costly than other places and is the only thing that keeps me from going more frequently than I would like to. They do offer a lot of community rides, ride specials, discount events and lots of different offer codes that help with that though and if you look out for those, you would rarely have to pay full price. Love this studio, love all of the super kind staff members and instructors and everything this CB NH has to offer! :) read more

Absolutely love this studio, you always leave there feeling accomplished and know you've achieved a fantastic workout!

This place started strong, but they've really taken a slide recently. The new instructors haven't been trained on the system. And the new computer platform is a huge step backwards. read more

I've attended 5 classes at CycleBar North Hills, and even though it's about 20 minutes from my home, I'm definitely planning to continue visiting. The studio is clean and stocked with anything you could need, and even provides shoes. I've attended classes led by several different instructors and all have been encouraging and informative during class, providing plenty of direction for new riders. And all of the music has been great! I'm looking forward to attending some of the themed rides in the future (throw-backs, battles, etc.) read more

Woke up dis mornin' and jumped on a bike at Cycle Bar. So yes, although I already have a gym membership some place else, I am always looking for a way to put a new zing in my routine. This was my first time in a spin class, ever!!!!! When you arrive, you check in and get your shoe size. Shoe rental is free. They also give you a water bottle that you can keep. I went in, set up my seat and "clipped in." Ready, set, go....oh my gosh! The lights are very dim and the instructor takes you through different tasks and intervals. I started to sweat immediately. Spinning is not easy, but it feels soooooo good. The excitement and energy is great. As you peddle for your life to bumping music. If you need to slow down or sit back on the saddle, that is fine. No one is paying you any attention. Everyone is in their own zone. You will definitely walk out of there a sweaty mess. There is a towel on each bike...which is nice. Spinning is a really great workout, and you will burn a lot of calories! And this place is great. I love the set up, and yes there is free fruit to munch on afterward. This is definitely getting added into my workout routine, and it is right next to my gym. P.S. Your first time is free! read more

From the moment you walk in, to the moment you walk out - everyone at CycleBar Norths Hills makes you feel like an absolute rockstar! The instructors are all phenomenal! High energy, so encouraging and supportive! The cleanliness and amenities are above and beyond. The full experience of CycleBar makes me look forward to going back each week! read more

This is my first experience with spin classes and I'm totally addicted! The instructors at Cyclebar are incredible! They are ALL super encouraging and enthusiastic! I have left every class feeling energized and empowered! I highly recommend Domonique for newbies; shes a perfect blend of great music, great motivation and great attitude! It's a great workout for the body, mind and soul I'm a super busy working mom and when I leave Dominique's class I feel completely safe balanced and HAPPY! read more

I swore off spin classes my whole life. I said they're crazy and look way too intense and I'm convinced it couldn't be any fun. CycleBar North Hills changed all of that! The studio is so modern and they have thought of EVERYTHING from shoes to hair ties to fruit after class and almost anything else you could show up and not realize you needed. The instructors are amazing and they're all different...but you get an awesome workout with every one of them. Michelle is my absolute favorite. I've never been an avid gym go-er but this place changed that. LOVE CB! read more

Not only is Cyclebar so much fun for classes, they do private parties too! Cyclebar North Hills did an Amazing Job and made daughter's Sweet 16 so special. They were in constant contact with me and sent me a link with a pdf flyer so that we could send it to friends and post the flyer and the link on social media. Jen the CycleStar Instructor customized song playlist with all of my daughter's favorite songs. Jen was amazing with all the teenagers and the energy during the class was unbelievable. She made everyone in that room feel special and also gave plenty of shout outs to the participants. They also have amazing artists/staff that customized their "red wall" just for my daughter. The staff was always around helping with setting up, to clicking in all the participants, and we can't forget the photos. You truly made my daughter's Sweet 16 Memorable. read more

A very fun way to relieve stress while burning some intense calories at the same time. The atmosphere is fun and you can take your ride at your pace. The cycle instructors are amazing and very motivating! The staff is all very friendly and willing to help with anything you need. Highly recommend for a fun way to workout! read more

I am new to indoor cycling and I can't get enough. The instructors are so helpful and assisted me with clipping in and adjusting my bike at my first few classes until I felt comfortable on my own. They are so motivational during class, and I leave class feeling like a million bucks. I LOVE the class times offered; 5:30AM is early enough for me to still get to work on time after class. The workout is killer. I love that we get some arms work in there along with all the lower body work. Cyclebar is one of the best calorie burns I can get in 45 minutes. read more

Great workout! All instructors are energetic and I never have the same workout. I highly recommend if you want to get a good workout in!

I love the CycleBar North Hills location! They are always friendly, helpful and help you set good goals and intentions for your day & week!

Last night I went to CycleBar for the first time. I called three times to schedule my first class and nobody answered the phone, so I had to go to the studio hoping there were bikes left for me for this class. I purchased a Groupon for "CycleBar North Hills" for four classes. When I got to the studio, the owner seemed annoyed by my Groupon and reluctant to help me get into the class. As a first time customer, and this being a new studio I expected to be shown the facility, to get an explanation of how the class was structured and I did not. I taught spin for another studio in Pittsburgh so luckily I did not need a lot of instruction, but for someone new to spin this would have been a horrible first impression. The class and instructor were both amazing and I will definitely be back because of her, but the front of house staff and experience were truly lacking, especially considering how many other great spin studios are in the area for the same or a lower price. read more
