Front desk staff such as Bianca Always warm and friendly, checks in with you even when u aren't there. That is Rare. Same for warm and friendly welcoming staff Claudia & Jordan.

I'll start this review off by disclaiming that the instructors are fine. The issue isn't with them…read more If you enjoy subpar spinning classes with minimal choreography then this studio may be for you. There are 3 different classes that have no real distinction other than the strength class does 3 arm workouts. You'll get bored real quick. My grievance with this studio is their lack of communication unless it's time to collect their fees. I sent a request to freeze my membership and then I decided I wanted to cancel my membership altogether. Their policy to cancel requires 30 day notice. I sent my request to cancel on 7/29, 31 days before I would next be billed. I did not get any response. I sent a text message 7/31 asking someone to respond to my cancellation and the person who responded told me that the cancellation begins when the email is sent, not when I get a response. So I thought, okay well I'll just wait. I sent a follow up email on 8/23 and asked to confirm the cancellation and not to charge me on 8/29, no response. Come 8/29, collection day, lo and behold someone responds telling me that I've defaulted on my membership. Their justification is that they are a small business and don't "allow" members to go from a freeze to a cancellation. Said I still need to pay. Their policy does not specifically say that. I agree to pay and finish off my membership but requested they give me in writing they will cancel my membership effective 9/29 and I will not be charged. I still haven't heard back from them. Someone named Josh replied with a blank message. So if you're reading this Amrita, I'm still waiting for that confirmation. Now another, "not in the policy" benefit I was privied to was that I can text after the 12 hour window that I need to cancel my class without penalty. So today, traffic was especially terrible and I was going to be late for my 5:30pm class, so what do I do? I text at 4:30 that I need cancel. I've done this at least 3 times in the past without issue. Surprise surprise, their response received at 5:42pm: "Hi Joleen! Today we started our enforcement of our late cancel policy as you notified us within the 12 hour window. There will be a $15 late cancellation fee. In the future, in order to avoid this late cancel fee, you would have to let us know more than 12 hours in advance. We look forward to seeing you in class soon." Just today they are starting to enforce it. I sent a request asking for them to consider waiving the fee as it's just being enforced today. I think they blocked my number. Message failed to send. The instructors aren't terrible but whoever AMRITA is in the company, don't trust her. I've learned my lesson with this company and I won't be dumb enough to give them any more of my money. Good luck.

I used to be able to purchase class packs and then ask for extensions to use up any left over…read moreclasses. But now I've been given the runaround. I would call to ask for an extension and be told "oh the manager can only do that, she'll call you back." First, that was never an issue in the past, anyone could have given me an extension if I asked. And then of course I haven't heard back from the manager at all. I appreciated the flexibility before and the classes are super fun. It's a huge bummer that flexibility is now gone. There's a lot of other nit picky things about the cyclebar policies that are obvious cash grabs (fees for no-show, fees for cancelations within 24 hrs, and now letting our classes expire). Some of that can be understandable, others are frustrating because what happens if I don't hear back from the manager? Just going to have to be out of some extra money because of an apparent lack of flexibility. But I guess my only solution is to not come back unfortunately. Edit: I had called multiple times and didn't hear back until after making this review

I came back recently for a class because I had some credits remaining, and unfortunately this recent experience was even worse. Even though I showed up early for a morning class, the staff informed me that they had already ran out of earplugs for the day. I've attended 30+ SoulCycle classes at other locations, and this has never happened before at those locations. The music was so loud during class that my ears were hurting and ringing the rest of the day. The bathrooms also didn't have any hair ties, which was strange because all the other SoulCycle locations I've been to always had hair ties. This location is also lacking in terms of sanitation. The towel on my bike had multiple dark stains that rubbed off on me, and they ran out of equipment wipes to clean our bikes. The bathrooms also ran out of soap, so I couldn't even wash my hands after class.

Your first class is free, but warning it WILL become habit forming. Just go ahead and get that monthly unlimited pass! Classes feel like the best combo of going to a nightclub, while getting a hell of a workout . Some rides are therapeutic and meditative, some will kick your ass. This studio features a diverse group of riders AND instructors. Front Desk Staff, manager and owner are friendly, welcoming and prioritize safety as well as experience! All levels are welcomed and there is ZERO judgement. The positivity here is infectious and so so genuine. You never regret the rides you take... only the rides you miss !

I think I was very bummed with this location for a couple of reasons: 1. You have no idea where you are in terms of half way through the class or anywhere near that. At the Alamo location, they have a projector up on a wall telling you the flow of the class maneuver by maneuver. 2. PARKING SUCKS!!!!!! You literally have to pay for parking here and although that may be normal for Oakland natives, it's not coming from more inland East Bay. I actually didn't come with a card or cash so I had no way to pay which led me to going into a liquor store and getting some coins. The machine then ate my coins! Luckily, I asked someone if I could Venmo them the $1.50 but she was so kind and ended up just paying for me. Although she was a lifesaver, I do feel like that should be posted somewhere in the app to let people know. 3. The front desk person was not at all helpful and I felt like I was bothering her when I asked her what I could do about the parking situation. All and all I don't see myself coming back to this location due to the parking situation and the lack of welcoming presence from the front desk.

My only critique is that I wish there were a few more instructions for beginners, particularly on how to set up and adjust the bike to your size, as I struggled with that part. Aside from that, it was a fantastic workout. I'm already planning to come back with friends next time and grab brunch at one of the nearby spots afterward!
