SoulCycle Bryant Park - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

BRYCE. That's all I need to say. Take his class. He's the best SoulCycle instructor I've had in America and the most efficient. I love his class because he leads with positivity and kindness. He doesn't yell at us he guides and coaches. Get your mind and body right with him at this amazing location. read more

Visited while I was in town. Super friendly staff. Clean and well stocked bathrooms. Bryce was a wonderful instructor.

When in New York... I often sign up for a cycling class when in Manhattan. I've tried flywheel and soulcycle and am a little torn. They're both great workouts. I lean towards soulcycle just because it's the original and has a vibe I just like better (maybe it's the yellow white and black color scheme.) Recently I signed up for Eddie's 4:30 pm hip hop friday class and it was super energetic and fast passed. He played a great mix of hip hop - both recent stuff and more old school tracks. He started out a little harder than the rhythm we settled into which made it go a little easier. He was motivating and encouraged everyone to stay standing most of the time as 45 min wasnt long. At first I felt myself ever so slightly want to roll my eyes :) but when I checked my watch we had maybe 10 min to go. It really went faster than any cycling class I remember taking. One song at the end was done with weights and there's an optional song for stretching at the end. They will provide shoes, a locker, toiletries, and the hand weights for the bike. You can buy water and (of course) logoed and licensed merchandise. Staff was pretty friendly and the hall was just slightly crowded to me. The women's bathroom however only has a couple stalls so you might have to wait a minute. Ride on, yelpers! read more

Eddie's hip hop Friday class was absolutely amazing. He was full of energy and motivation and made the class super fun. However, at 4:30 on a Friday the class was packed which meant that the bathroom was chaos and the hallway/ locker area was even worse. I got to the studio about 15 mins before the class's scheduled start time and I was not able to get into the bathroom by the time I got checked in and put all of my belongings in a locker. Since there are no changing rooms, everyone uses the bathroom stalls as changing rooms. I wasn't able to get into the bathroom after class until the class following mine started. The locker area and bathroom really shade my opinion of this studio. read more

Give me Justin Bieber vs. Justin Timberlake as a themed class and I'm THERE. Thank you Max, for a super fun Christmas Eve class! SPACE - The studio size was fine but the hallway with all the lockers can get real cramped between classes. STAFF - The staff are pretty great with the front desk staff being super efficient and the bike setup staff on it in the studio! I had that "help me" face as I raised my hand (LOL right) and someone assisted me right away. PRICE - $20 w/ free comp'd shoes for your first class, $34 + $3 shoe rental for a single class. FINAL ADVICE - If you're new, show up 15 mins early. For real. This is so that you don't get caught up in the mad rush right before class and can be better situated. Overall, it's always a good workout here plus and is extra fun if you come for a themed ride! read more

I have visited this studio a couple of times now during weekend trips to NYC and have had a great experience each time. Awesome location right next to Bryant Park and there is a Whole Foods conveniently located right across the street. Yes- a drop in will cost you roughly $36, but it's an amazing workout and you will feel like you can conquer the world when you leave. The studio is extremely clean and every staff member I have interacted with has ben very kind and helpful (shout out to everyone for helping me adjust my bike). Shoe rentals and Fiji water will cost you a few bucks but that's to be expected. There are more than enough lockers and the locker rooms are always stocked full of towels/ toiletries to freshen up with. My husband and I took Nicky's class yesterday morning and he did not disappoint. So energetic and positive...I will definitely be on the lookout for his classes next time I'm in town. Keep it up, Bryant Park! read more

SoulCycle Bryant Park - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

Great location not too far from me! While I tend to ride more frequently at the soho or noho locations, sometimes I want to be able to venture home without enduring a sweaty subway or Uber ride. I took the 6:30 and 7:30 classes with Isabel and Robert. Isabel has the BEST music and Robert had the most infectious personality. Both had amazing energy and kept me going throughout the evening! This location has cramped locker/hallway space, but alas this is a soul trademark. The staff are so friendly and the studio is as clean as the rest of them. I will definitely be back! read more

To preface this review this was my first SoulCycle class ever and I do spinning often at Flywheel. Location/ studio- very convenient location, it's basically in between Times Square and Bryant Park. The studio is TINY, like uncomfortably small. Where the lockers are it's so small that you if you are trying to put your stuff in a locker or retrieve it, you're most likely going to get some dirty looks from the other patrons "for being in their way." It's an actual nightmare trying to navigate that hallway when one class just got out, and another is waiting to go in. Along with this the bathroom is fully stocked with name brand hair and body products, razors, organic tampons etc, which is very nice. It didn't seem like they had many showers because there was a line of woman waiting to get into one when I went into the bathroom. Staff- staff members were stupendous. Extremely friendly, guided me in all the right directions and helped me set up my bike properly. Actual class/ instructor- I took Lauren as my first class, her energy was great and the music was pretty good too (mainly beats, less lyrical music). We were out of the saddle about 95% of the time, which is different from any flywheel class I have taken and I prefer a more up and down class rather than just standing the entire time, but still a good workout nonetheless. A big difference between flywheel and soul is at soul they tell you to "do what's right for your body" regarding resistance. I had no idea if my resistance was good or not. At flywheel they tell you what number to go to and it shows you on your screen, which I like way better. My only minor complaints are that she kept flickering the lights on and off, which I didn't like and I could barely hear what movements we were doing because her microphone was so muffled. The cost- it's such a shame how expensive soul is. $37 dollars and free shoes for my first class. After that it's $3 for shoe rentals (flywheel has free shoes). If you buy the classes a la Carte that's $40 a class, basically utilities for the month in an apartment. Maybe once in a blue moon I will come back here for a class, since it's steps away from my office, but I do prefer flywheel over this and not to mention it's far cheaper. read more

SoulCycle is a great cardio and quad workout. Love this spot for the convenience, and I've been here twice! This location is perfect if I want to stop by after work from my office in Midtown or if I want to go for a quick morning workout when I'm staying in the Theater District for pleasure. Haven't had any issues snagging a seat last-minute for my early morning classes, though there weren't many left so I would definitely recommend booking early. The employees working here were all very professional and helpful. I had the same instructor both times - he is motivating and upbeat but was about seven min late for the second class (though the staff did make an announcement to explain the delay). The complimentary towel is great for all the sweat, and there's a small fee if you want to rent their shoes (which are required for riding). Unfortunately I find the lockers here (which do contain their own locks) are not well-designed as they're located in a narrow hallway with limited benches, so it's generally a madhouse trying to get your items in and out or to change into the shoes you need. On my second visit, I did have some issues with a wobbly seat and handles, and the staff promised to address this when I brought it up with them after the class. Sidenote: SoulCycle customer service is amazing. I purchased a package of three classes, and though two of them expired, I was able to email and get the expiration date extended. read more

Came here for a leukemia fundraising event and bought a ticket. My first time here! I usually go to cycling at equinox but wanted to support the cause. I arrived around 15min before class and everyone was super nice! They have free lockers to keep your stuff and the staff member adjusted my bike for me because I wasn't sure what to do. I don't know if they have showers but I was reading the other reviews and it seems they do. Honestly there's an equinox across the street so I needed to shower I would just go there because I have membership. The workout itself was different than what I expected! I didn't know we would be using weights and other parts of our bodies besides our legs! It is a bit on the pricier side especially if you have to rent the shoes- I would come back here and there to get a cycling workout. 10/10 recommend if you want to try cycling! Thanks Joey! - awesome instructor read more

Is this location open?? Been trying to call them for over a week but no answer. They do have classes posted on the schedule but no one picks up. read more

This is one of my least favorite SoulCycle studio locations. If you read my other reviews, you know I am a big fan of SoulCycle and the classes, so this review is really just about the location as it is a much more of a commuters studio. The class and the staff here are still great and on-brand with the company, the studio is just not as adequate. The lockers are in one very narrow hallway, it is also where every waits before going into class so if gets very congested. The main area you walk into, has the check-in desk along with apparel is also pretty small, so not the best area to wait either. The women's bathroom here is pretty nice tho, the best part of the studio, and has all the extra amenities like all the other locations. There is only one actual cycling studio here. I'm sure most people who ride here regularly are people who work in the area, which makes sense why there is only one studio. I definitely recommend SopulCycle and the classes, maybe just not at this location if you don't ant to feel crammed! read more

SoulCycle Bryant Park - Half of the hallway looking forwards the front - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

I traveled to New York City for a bachelorette party, and the bride-to-be had been going to SoulCycle for some time now. She found a location a few minutes from our hotel, and on the train let us know that she had plans to go the next morning. I asked if she would be okay with me joining her, as I had never done a class before and had always wanted to try it out. She warned me that it could be intense, and it also depends on the type of music they play whether the class is good or not. Nonetheless, I still wanted to give it a shot. I happened to be able to book the bike next to her, and was super excited to kick off a bachelorette party with an 8am SoulCycle class. All I can say is WHY is there not a location closer to my house??? I had an absolute BLAST that even my bra was completely soaked by the end of class. We happened to have a brand new teacher and I believe we were one of his first classes, but he was excellent!!!! He helped me adjust the bike and clip in so that I didn't look awkward figuring it out myself, and he did a great job of explaining so that I could adjust later on if I needed to. His class was very motivating and it was an incredible workout!!! I highly suggest for anyone who wants to amp up their exercise routine to give this a try!!! I don't claim to be an expert after one class (they say it takes 3 classes to understand the routine and get into a groove) but even my friend complimented me on being able to keep pace with the class. I guess my one negative thing to say is that the merchandise is ridiculously priced. I bought a shirt and a sweatshirt to remember the experience (I honestly LIVE in the sweatshirt I bought) but seriously the shirt is a quarter of the material that the sweatshirt is, and they were about the same price.... My total was somewhere near $120 just for the two items. I think the bride bought a candle that may have been over $30... Definitely go. Definitely enjoy the experience. Well worth it! read more

I took the Soul Survivor today with Isaac and I was having so much fun I almost forgot I was working out. It was 60 minutes the music was pumping Isaac was being an absolute motivational joy and I got my butt kicked. If you need a little mood boost and you want a phenomenal workout I highly recommend taking a class! read more

My coworker is a diehard SoulCycler and has been speaking the gospel. I went during the recent free promotion and tried it out. Staff was great and attentive. Justin was batshit crazy awesome instructor and if I was into cycling, I would go back to his class again. That's right, SoulCycle is not for me, but the vibe of the room, music, energy is doooooope. Before class starts, they ask if it's your first time and will help you set up your bike. I raised my hand and the instructor Justin came over and explained the seats alignment to my hips and the distance of the bar and then helped me lock in my shoes. Basically I was a newborn baby and appreciated his guidance. I'm new at any type of cycling so I couldn't do some of the movements, but I didn't feel pressured to do so, so that was nice. Great work out! read more

NoHo soul is my go-to spot but I love Bryant park location too coz it's very close to my work. The staffs are so nice and welcoming, and always so willing to accommodate the customers needs and listen to the customers. SoulCycle is truly the best fitness studio in the city. In terms of instructor - Becca is my go to. She's so spunky and fun, class is always so organized and challenging. Love her music too read more

SoulCycle is awesome. What sets this studio apart is the bathroom which is sizable enough to get ready for work after a killer cardio workout. read more

I went to my usual cycling place this weekend and although it's a good class and I know the teacher, I couldn't help but think back to last weekend when I went to Soul Cycle for the first time... I was in NYC for a work event and then spent the night with my sister, but I had a few hours to spare and so I found a class and called the studio to get a spot. I had already created an account online, so they found my account and signed me up. I received a confirmation email immediately and it couldn't get any easier. I had the 5:30 pm class on a Friday with Justin and I arrived about 20 minutes early. As soon as you walk in, it is bright, music is loud and the staff is energetic. I let them know it was my first time and someone assisted me in checking in and I signed a waiver. They got me shoes and showed me the lockers. I had plenty of time to use the bathroom, get a locker and wait for class to start. The lockers are free (awesome!) and you set a code for the use. I didn't understand and locked myself out, but a staffer helped me unlock it and then explained it to me again. The studio opened a few minutes before the class started and I found my assigned bike. There were Soul Cycle employees in the front and I waved my hand and one of them came to me immediately. I told her it was my first time and she helped me set the bike up and clip in. I just wear regular shoes at my cycle class at the Y, so this was new to me. She explained the positions to me and I started pedaling, waiting for the class to begin. Justin came into the class and he was so pumped and got everyone else excited. The class was 45 minutes of intense cycling mixed with weights. I absolutely loved my first experience at Soul Cycle and talked about it the rest of the weekend. Even though I like my class at the Y, this is just SO MUCH BETTER. The music is great, the people are friendly, the mood is on point, everything about it is just so good. The workout is great and you leave the class feeling elated. After class, you can shower and the bathroom is hooked up with hair ties, blow driers, razors, hair spray, and anything else you might need. The hallway with the lockers is right across from the studio and can get crowded in between classes, but other than that, I can't say anything bad about it! read more

I left my first Soulcycle class on Thursday saying "eh, I was kind of bored towards the end." But now it's Sunday night and I've been thinking about it all weekend. Like a bad boyfriend you just can't quit, I've been pondering all weekend how I can make it work with Soulcycle. How can I fit it into my life? Into my schedule, my budget, my standing workout routine? It's worth it, after all! I had a great time at my first class- great workout, great music, great time with instructor Tyler. I hate that I have fallen victim to the allure of Soulcycle, mainly because at nearly $40 a class I really can't justify the cost (hence -1 star). For anyone who's been on the fence about trying it, do it. Just be prepared to fall in love. read more

i work in the garment district, because HEY, I draw for a living! I'm new to getting my soul confirmed, and i got into a 730 class. Upon entering the ladies were very nice, offering me water and shoes. I wasn't aware there was a charge, because this was my second class, and in your first all of that is free. The place is bright and inviting. The bathroom looks like a salon. The class was great. My upper body was sore, in a cycling class, because the part with weights is no joke. When it was over, I got my things, returned my shoes and made the better decision to not got to mcdonalds but to chopt, right nearby. When I got home, I got an emailed receipt for $5, I was charged for water and shoes. I emailed them just to ask about it. They explained and refunded me, and made me aware for the next time. Possibly the best customer service ever. I'm going to hit it again this week. read more

SoulCycle Bryant Park - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

My co-worker discovered that SoulCycle - not this location, but the company - was offering free classes for people attending SoulCycle for the first time. She was playing with the idea of doing some team bonding and with many of us frequenting the gym, we all agreed that this could be a fun outing. To get the deal, we created a profile and picked a time for our class and our seats with our instructor, Roxie. Reserving seats to worked out may seem ridiculous but in fact I think it's a great idea for people who genuinely like to be in the front, near the instructor or to hide in the back or sit with a group of friends. We were advised that seats run out quickly but we lucked out and managed to sit all together with the exception of our boss, who wanted to sit in front of us to "lead the pack". (He's adorable!) With meetings running over, the team sprinted over to Bryant Park from our office. I was running late as well, so I ran 8 blocks with three minutes to spare before the class started. With moments to spare, they let me in and asked me to fill out a form but since class was about to begin, advised that I could fill it out later. A nice guy asked me for my shoe size and gave me special spin shoes that connect to the pedals of the bike. He then walked me over to the lockers, which were placed on the side of this narrow hallway. The rest of the studio was like a railroad set-up and there was not much room for space and despite this hallway being close to the entrance, the guy advised that people do change right here. Thank goodness I had already changed before I left! Anxious on whether class had started, I saw two of my team members and we walked in together. The studio room itself was dark with red lights with music booming. It was like being in a club minus the alcohol, dresses and room to dance. Since we were assigned seats, I wasn't sure how to find the number. My boss pointed out the team to me but I noticed each bike did have tiny numbers labeled on them. There were members of SoulCycle walking around checking to see who needed help getting on the bike. I asked one girl to help me get on but instead of helping me, she asked someone else to. He looked like it was the last thing he wanted to do but he quickly helped me get my shoes in and fix my seat to an appropriate height after I had already done so. (I know how to adjust the bikes from taking spin before at my gym but, the shoe situation is something else!) After surviving class, I would not recommend anyone taking spin for the first time to take this class unless they already have a routine of going to the gym and have worked on building strength and endurance. The class is tough (but SOUL good!) and involves doing crunches, push-ups while spinning and occasionally switching the position in the handles to do so to the beat of the music (which actually made the moves easier to do and surprisingly helped with breathing). At one point, the instructor had us do push-ups while spinning with ONE HAND behind our back. Although she was pushing us she assured people that they did not have to do this if they were not 'advanced'. Towards the end, we worked with 2.5lb weights which are located just behind/beneath your seat. This allowed us to work on triceps, shoulders and biceps while spinning. I worked up an amazing sweat and the only terrifying thing to a spinner/avid gym goer like me was dropping the towel since I had no idea to take the shoes off or on the pedal - it's tricky! Throughout the workout, the instructor was loud when she needed to be in order to be clear on instructions, serve as inspiration and push us to trust ourselves to work at our best. Some instructors can be obnoxious but Roxie was amazing and very impressive working a room of about 50-60 people. (PS - she has amazing taste in music and used the lights in the room as a tool to allow us to cool down and keep motivated/alert.) I wish I could give SoulCycle and this location a full five stars. Knocked one star off as the studio is far too small and the location of the lockers isn't appropriate since it created traffic in the hallway to get to the spinning studio and ladies/mens shower/bathrooms. Another star was knocked off for SoulCycle's overall price range and the pack that you choose can actually expire. For example: 1 class is $34 and expires in 30 days, 10 classes are $320 and expire in 3 months while 50 SuperSoul classes cost $3,500 and expires in 12 months. This gives you an idea of what they offer but if prices and expiration days work for you whether financially or as a motivation that's great because they have other packs of classes available as well. Also, if you ever come to the Bryant Park studio, they have a mini boutique to the side of the entrance as soon as you come in. PS - Every Monday at Noon you can book your classes for Tuesday through the following Monday (it's like a mini bidding war). Hopefully my soul & I will be back one day. read more

100th review is going to my favorite place in the world, Soulcycle! That's right...I converted to this so-called cult. But whatever, I absolutely love this place. I honestly needed to change up my weekly work out routine (NYSC member for 2 years) and it was getting too plain. I needed something to change it up. I was following all things Soulcycle (instagram, facebook, etc) for a year before actually stepping on to the bike because I was still getting use to my cycling classes at my gym. PLEASE PLEASE go to a cycling class before taking any type of soul cycle class - I am thankful I didn't need help to set up my bike or know how to clip in since I had experience already, so that decreased the first time soul cycle anxiety a little bit. Now on to the class... My first ride ever was with Nick S. (suggested by the front desk when booking my first time ride). And he was amazing! He has a lot of energy and will make you sweat like you're in the sauna and even more...but in a good way. Highly suggest to take two water bottles for a 45 min class because the room is already hot. Camelback bottles fit perfectly on the bike, so you can save some cash from buying the smartwater bottles at the studio. To those who keep saying "$34 is so pricy for one cycling class". Hey, to each their own! Soulcycle is what you make of it. It's very youthful and fun. If you love music, want to actually smile during your work out and feel the burn during and after your work out, then what are you waiting for ?! I've been in love ever since and I only go 2-3 times a month to put a little UMPH in my workout routine. I'm always in a good mood after a class, even giddy at times. Definitely download the soul cycle app (from a iPhone user POV). They'll give you background on the instructors all over NYC and you can choose which one fits your interest and fitness goals and simply sign up from there! I gotta say - Mondays at 12pm have never been so stressful - that's when you sign up for the following week and classes fill up fast with popular instructors. My 2016 goal is to complete a SOUL CHALLENGE without passing out. That's when you spin for 90 mins and I know it's going to be hella worth it. So stop being scared, just go for it! And if you don't like it, move on. It won't hurt to try. Also, wear ear buds (provided by the front desk for free) - it will get LOUD and you may want to save your ears for years to come ;) Also, not a fan on the lockers - I wish I can just use my own lock! read more

No spin class will ever compare to Soul. EVER. I live in an area that doesn't have a Soul and I constantly compare it to the motivation, encouragement and instructors at Soul. read more

I've been taking spin classes for years. But soul cycle is my fav! I love the fact there is a soul cycle right by job and I can go to soul cycle classes during my lunch break or after work. The staff is helpful every time I go with the bike set up and super friendly overall. The inductors are challenging but it makes you want to go back their classes. read more

The location is super convenient for the midtown workers. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help, especially if your a newbie like myself. I was a little deer-in-headlight-esque coming in here since everyone seemed to be a pro. The space is really clean and has a great vibe to it. They have decent size lockers for you to store your stuff and they do not allow cell phone use in the studio. The only complaint I had was the changing/prep area is VERY tight and you can barely get by people without bumping into them. Once you get into the studio, they have employees who can help you get your bike set up to your measurements. Then class begins promptly on time with an awesome playlist and instructor. I loved the ambiance with the lights off and candles glowing. It really gets you in the zone. For 45min you feel like its just you, your bike and the beats. Being a fan of spin, I did find the bouncing, and weight lifting a little odd, but it was a nice addition to a HIIT workout. If I wasnt part of a gym who offered spin and then some, I would definitely convert to soulcycling. If you havent tried out soul cycle, I suggest you do, and they offer classes at perfect times after work! read more

Im here on vacation and Soul Cycle was a great start to my Saturday morning. It was just a short walk from my hotel and super convenient. I've only been a few times and one of the workers helped me set up my bike and clip in! I took the 9:00 with Eddie and he was so much fun! I loved the music and his energy. He was really pumping us up and gave us the perfect sets. He did a great job mixing in the use of all the muscles and a perfect mix between slow and fast sets. read more

The SC studio in Soho is my home base but I decided to try a new location. I had Justin as an instructor and he killed it. He was so alive and really fun. His choreography was a bit more advanced so this wouldn't be great for a newbie. I had to knock off a point for the size of the women's bathroom. It was pretty much the same as the Soho bathroom however the volume of people this studio attracts seems a bit more than soho. I feel as though being that this is in midtown and in a crazy busy area, some changes should be made to this. There was a line to even use a bathroom and even when we cleaned ourselves off, we still were all sweating because of the amount of commotion and movement in the bathroom. If I would've packed sneakers with me, I probably would've just left right after class and not changed back into my clothes. That's how severely small/crowded the bathroom got. All in all, the service here was so great and I don't have any qualms other than that! read more

It was my first time at Soul Cycle. My first class was free because they are offering a promotion now for first timers. It was an easy process to book the class as I had to go online to register myself and then call the location to book the class. I arrived about 10 minutes early for an 8am class. I signed the waiver and got a pair of shoes. I then proceeded to the locker area, which is a narrow hallway of lockers. It's a bit tricky to find an open locker because the locker doors aren't open to indicate they are free. But it's nice that the lockers have a key code, so you don't have to bring your own lock. I then proceeded into the spinning room. It was dark with strobe lights and music playing. It was as if I was in a club. It was a bit to find my seat because of the dark lightening. There was also a lack of staff helping. Being a first timer, I didn't know how to lock my shoes onto the bike pedal nor know how to adjust my seat. So I just did what made sense to be and finally got my shoe to lock after many attempts. The whole class was a bit subpar. The instructor doesn't make it clear what to do, so half the time I was not even sure I was doing the correct movements. I was following the people around me but was just guessing the areas of the body to work out and the movements I was supposed to be doing. The class is definitely not first time user friendly. How the heck am I supposed to know what to do if the instructor isn't explaining it or checking on you?!! The class wasn't too bad for a first timer like me. The body odor at the end is a little hard to handle especially while you are doing the closing stretches and less than inches away from another person's behind. If you want to shower, I suggest leaving before the stretching period. Otherwise, the shower area is so small and there are only a handful of showers. There was a long line of people waiting to use the shower. And people give you glares if you just chose to use the sink area which is also cramped. If I had to pay, I definitely would not come back again. The group exercise is good to motivate you, but the instruction is lacking and price is steep. read more

SoulCycle Bryant Park - Cycling Classes Near Me - New York, New York

My first ever soulcycle or spinning class. It has been highly recommended by my friends and of course I know about soulcycle and its followers. It is free class from 1/1 to MLK day so I took advantage of it. I had to call them to reserve the spot but all seamless. When I got there, the receptionist was not very warm or friendly. It was my first time and I knew I had to sign the waiver. She gave me the whatever vibe when I asked if I need to sign it. The gentleman that set up my chair was super friendly. The lockers can be a little annoying bc if you accidentally switch the numbers, you have to ask them for the master key. Bathroom is generally clean. They have everything so you don't need to worry about forgetting to bring something. During class, if they were going twice the speed, I would just take the slower beat because I couldn't spin as quickly. I can see why people love it because of the vibe and beats and music and the fact that alot of people are super into it. I honestly did not feel worked up but my legs are jello. I can see myself coming for a special playlist with another frd but it's not my cup of tea. I recommend people who want to try it out to look for special offers for free. read more

I've been to SoulCycle multiple times and was really disappointed in my class today. The class itself was fine with instructions being normal, but the moment I really took offense to was being chastised for bringing my phone into the class right in the middle. I understand the idea of no distractions 100% (which is how the instructor described it) but really feel like this put a damper on my experience of going to a 37$ spin class. Super morale killer. Just thought I'd throw it out there in case management wants to redo how they handle these moments. read more

I always make it a point to go to Hip Hop Fridays with Eddie. He is by far the most motivation instructor I have ever had. This class is rhe perfect end to my week and I honestly look forward to it as much as the weekend. He will push you to do your best but is also understanding that not everyone is on the same level. His class is a must try! read more

Holy. I can't explain how awesome this place is. Nothing like any other spin experience I've ever had.

So I come here sometimes because it's convenient. Workouts are generally pretty good (although every instructor is really different, sometimes startlingly so.) I'm not crazy about allllll the platitudes and the clubby music. Some of the instructors get off the bike and run around, and it is just too much. I go to Revolve downtown for a more straight up rigorous workout. The staff at this location is not especially friendly, and they will be RUDE, kicking ladies out if the bathroom in between classes. Some of us have to shower and look good for work after, ok! The facilities are adequate, with a few showers, hair dryers, etc., but the showers looked like they needed a deep cleaning. Please hit those showers with some Comet soon... read more

Took my first ever SoulCycle class here with Issac and I went from totally skeptical to TOTALLY IN LOVE. Great class and awesome location. Perfect activity for people who love to cycle, dance, and scream in public without judgments. Tap it back, y'all. read more

I take Joey's classes almost every Monday and Friday! I am in the best shape of my life right now after having 2 kids! Love it and it's like going to therapy for me!!! Highly recommend for new moms you can't lose an extra 10 pounds and need to feel good! read more

This is probably the worst soul cycle studio in the city simply because of how small it is and how poorly laid out it is. The lockers are in an incredibly narrow hallway and between classes it creates a terrible traffic jam of people trying to walk through/use the lockers. The class itself was catered to the fittest people in the room so there is no keeping up unless you are a soul cycle regular. I'm a runner and consider myself to be fairly fit, but I couldn't keep up with any of the moves. Our instructor also turned off every single light, including the candles, so we were in complete darkness for most of the class. Maybe some people like this, but I couldn't even see the water bottle holder on my bike. I think I will stick to Flywheel from now on where I can actually participate in the class without feeling like the weakest one in the room. read more

I took my first Soul Cycle class in January because this studio was right next to my job. I was a college athlete, so I've done a variety of workouts so I was excited to try something different. Also since graduating college, I had gotten caught up in work and lost the motivation to work out. Soul Cycle completely changed my mindset!! I really did not know what to expect besides that I would be on a stationary bike. Little did I know that I would quickly become addicted!! The staff is always friendly and willing to help. Every class I have come out of, I am motivated and I feel like I accomplished something! I love that the classes are in the dark to an extent because you really focus on you. Also be prepared to be disappointed with every other cycling/spin class you take that isn't soul cycle after!! read more

I had a good experience taking classes here. The staff was always accommodating when I had to change plans.

I'm a spin class / Soul Cycle newbie. A fellow runner suggested I give them a try to help cross train during the week as we both prep for the NYC Marathon later this year. Signing up was a breeze. First timers only pay $20 for their first class. You have to create an account online, and then call the studio you want in order for them to give you a verbal prep of what to expect and to get you into their system. You're charged over the phone for that first class. Newbies also get the $3 cycling shoe rental for free. They suggested getting to the studio half an hour early to fill out the waiver and explore the space a little. I wish I had. I got there 10 minutes before class, hurried through the waiver, declined the water they were selling (I brought my own), grabbed my free shoe rental, and rushed between the people leaving the prior class and the people getting ready for the next one in the cramped locker area, trying to find an open space to get these shoes on. It's a little daunting being new. But, they do highlight your reserved bike to specify that you're new, and they try to look out for you in order to help you set the bike up and click your shoes into the pedals. What would have been awesome is a lesson on un-clicking from the bike, which I learned (too late) is not as easy as everyone else makes it look. For my first ever Soul Cycle class, I had Robert as our instructor and I was really happy with that 45 minutes of hell he put me through. It's intense, and there is a degree of rhythm you need to have in order to do these moves properly in beat to the music, which paces the workout. The burning I felt in my legs during the warm-up was quickly replaced by the scream from my upper body muscles that I have not engaged in a very, very long time. Above the thrum of the music, Robert's voice boomed over the mic as his eyes scanned the class to make sure everyone was keeping up. He paid special attention me and the other newb in the class to ensure we were doing the moves right, that our hands were in the right positions on the handles, and to say it was okay not the crank the resistance all the way up if we weren't quite there yet. (Afterall, you want to be able to DO the workout, not just barely eek by.) By the end of the class, my resistance knob was cranked up just as high as everyone else's once my body adjusted. It was an incredibly challenging, sweat-inducing workout. And even though it was my first time, it felt really inclusive and positive due to Robert. Afterwards, while Robert went into the cool down and stretching routine, I noticed the stampede of people rushing out. I take it they were all heading towards the showers. I would have followed along, but I couldn't un-click from the bike, and I didn't get any help. Someone said I could just un-velcro. Meaning, leave the shoes attached and walk back to the lockers in my socks. So, that's what I did. The line for the showers was 6 women deep when I poked my head in the change area. I didn't have time for that, so I just grabbed my stuff and opted to shower at my gym not too far away. The dressing room/shower area was also really tight and hard to move around, and I didn't see how so many women would be able to dress in that tight space all at the same time. It's about $34 per class plus that mandatory $3 shoe rental. So, you're looking at nearly $40 for one class. They also sell water if you need it, but their free water fountain is filtered, so you can bring you own bottle and fill up there. It's a little cost-prohibitive for me to do multiple times a week, but I can see how addicting Soul Cycle can be. It's fun. It's a GREAT workout. The studios are immaculately clean and modern. It's eye-candy. For the curious, that $20 introductory class is more than worth it. Be prepared to start budgeting it into your gym expenses if you find yourself hooked! It ain't cheap, but you'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth it. Tip: Friday morning at 7am with Robert was not an insanely crowded class so I had room to move. I hear that the packed classes can be hard to maneuver in, and I can only imagine what the locker area is like with a full class letting out. Overall, I can definitely say I'd be back! read more
