But just a few days before my first class, the owner updated to say she's not taking on any new students. She refunded my package, but the short notice means I won't be able to find space anywhere else.

Thrilled that New Haven got a spinning studio back - and not just any studio. Joyride has a few…read moredifferent locations, and this is the first one in New Haven. They come with a fresh spin (haha) on cycling and have big shoes to fill. They deliver! Leon and Kacey's class opening day had so much energy and great music. There are no screens or metrics anymore, which I thought I'd miss, but it actually let me feel the music and my body throughout the ride more. I was hoping they'd do something better with the bathrooms, which are cramped during busy classes, but I definitely appreciate the more fans and space in the studio itself. Your efforts did not go unnoticed! I'm eager to see how the community grows with Joyride. Welcome to the 'hood!

Wasn't sure about taking a cycling class but decided to give it a try. And I have to say I was…read morepretty impressed. They have great customer service at joyride new haven. They were very friendly and made sure we knew exactly what was going on. The class experience was amazing. Christina did a great job at keeping the energy up.

Totally late on this five star review but a recent visit back to New Haven reminded me of how much…read moreI enjoy Polefly, Jess, and everything she brings to this space. Polefly is essentially where I fell in love with the art of pole and Jess has set a standard for instruction that I've looked for in every studio I've attended since. She is highly technical and understands the mechanics of the body in a way that makes you feel really safe while you practice here. Poling can be scary but I never felt worried about injury at Polefly because Jess is very thoughtful and careful, she plans the lessons around you and your body, meeting you where you're at while still challenging you to try your best and push yourself a little more each time. Despite all of her extensive experience and technical prowess, Jess never makes you feel less than. So much of poling is as much mental as it is physical, and this space always feels and felt safe, supportive, and affirming. I grew so much here and I am so sad there are so many miles between me and this lovely space these days and always look forward to my next visit back. Thank you, Jess, for everything you do to make this space wonderful. Also: get here early, people. Sometimes the walk up the stairs is long.

We took a private pole dancing class at Polefly with Jess as part of a bachelorette party weekend…read more Everything was great--from the booking process to cost ($20/person for an hour class) to the class itself. Our group is very uncoordinated but we still had a really great time learning some moves and getting some exercise. The studio is clean and kept up well and Jess is a great and encouraging instructor and doesn't make you feel like an idiot (even if you know you're looking like one!). I can't speak to the normal classes here but would highly recommend booking a private event for a special birthday surprise or bachelorette weekend!

At the end of your workout, you can enjoy free massage chairs and a juice bar stocked with healthy beverages. The members interact politely and treat each other with respect--there's no fat-shaming here. If you prefer, you can work with a personal trainer who will design a customized exercise program tailored to your needs and guide you through its implementation. However, there are two drawbacks: when equipment breaks, it can take some time to get it repaired, and the music selection could be improved.
