Nothing but great things to say about the studio! I have loved every class I have attended. It's very welcoming, great facilities, and clean. There are a LOT of bikes in the studio and I have yet to attend a total full class so that might be a lot. My only suggestion is perhaps encouraging people to wear ear plugs as it gets extremely loud. read more

I love a good SoulCycle class, but this location is terrible. Avoid this specific location at all costs. 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. read more

I started the day at Union Street SF with Baylee and my best friend today, and I have to say, they made it special. Sure, bear ears may have helped...but with everything that is going on, and soul-sucking screens in front of us all the time, it is so wonderful to have someone reminding you to cheer each other on, that we are not all competing for likes, that even on our worst days and with our worst hair we are still able to move and lift ourselves and each other. And Baylee... man... he is like a ray of sunshine every time we see him. And the rest of the staff was full of smiles and enthusiastic screaming too...was it just Friday? I love Friday! read more

Came here on a rainy Saturday for a 9:30am class! Our instructor Lindy was super friendly and led an amazing class! The class was extremely high energy with every seat filled! I usually go to Cyclebar, so this was my first time at Soulcycle. The staff members were super friendly (except for one who seemed a bit annoyed when I was trying to figure out which cycling shoes fit me best). This location is definitely small - I only saw 2-3 showers in total, so there may be a short wait if you're showering there! Nevertheless, I will definitely be back again soon! read more

SoulCycle is basically a health cult. I say that in a good and supportive way because as soon as you sign up, I mean the very beginning when you show up with your special shoes and your water bottle, you are treated like a goddess. You enter the dark room with a bunch of basic super fit people with money and take a Taylor Swift journey on a bike for an hour of sweaty goodness. Then, the ride is over and the SoulCycke team are there to cheer you on for the next month of good times. It's crazy how much they want to make you feel loved. They turk on little candle lights for people's birthdays or tenth rides. They make cards with hearts and money faces to give you and tell you you're awesome. It's just over the top. Then, you're in. You're paying a ton for a ride with all the other Vouri clad folks. It's too much for me and too pricey for me, but it's a great location and they're super bubbly. read more

This is my third time doing SoulCycle and my third studio, and I had a great experience. I did the NYE SoulSurvivor workout with Kamelle and they were fun, fresh, and fabulous. Never have I sweated so much during a class and felt great afterwards. Staff were friendly and I had good interactions with all of them during my time. They have plenty of lockers, four individual restrooms, and two showers stocked with towels and amenities for post-workout refreshment. Since showers are minimal, please be mindful of others and make it a quick rinse. Our class started 5 minutes late which seems to be a reoccurrence at this studio. Be mindful of this if you're planning on dropping by this location for a workout. read more

I am an exercise class person and I have come to really enjoy taking SoulCycle classes. At first I wasn't so sure what all the hype was about but after trying it a few times I really got into it. I personally like that there is no tracking or numbers involved with how hard you're pedaling - you just kind of go with what feels challenging to you. I like this location as everyone is friendly and when I go in the evenings it's never fully packed. I have my own shoes but you can rent shoes and buy water there. They also have earplugs available for free. You get a free ride for your birthday - just show up and they'll book you! They also give you a shoutout, take a photo, and give you a coconut water! read more

I've become quite the basic b*tch at 31, and Soul Cycle is one of my guilty pleasures! I love the music, the merch and dancing on a bike to my favorite Sabrina Carpenter songs!! So so fun. The time fly's by and I just love it. read more

This was my second time doing Soul Cycle and it blew me away! I like the ambiance of this specific studio! The staff at the front desk are so nice and welcoming! They ensure that they prepare everyone for a successful and enjoyable ride! One of my favorite aspects of Soul Cycle is a staff member in class at the beginning of class to help set up your bike. Since I booked this class through ClassPass and did not have biking shoes, the fee for it was $4. I wish that this was included in the price of the class. Came here on Saturday for a Taylor Swift themed ride with Joe! I immediately fell in love with his energy and his guidance through the workout! Compared to my first Soul Cycle I loved how Joe explained the different movements on the bike and that he let the class decide what type of ride we wanted to do! Since I'm a beginner at cycling, this helped me tremendously. He had a great playlist full of great Taylor Swift songs that made me want to ride until the sunset. I definitely look forward to the next time I get to take a SoulCycle class, especially with Joe! read more

I recently decided to start trying out different workout routines to improve my strength and health, and SoulCycle ended up being my first stop on my new fitness journey. The helpdesk was okay when I arrived as they noticed I looked confused, and I felt quite rushed from their end mainly having me sign the waiver process and left me figure my way around, so I still wasn't sure where anything was yet. After figuring out my way around and how to enter the cycle room and that I had to set up, I was quite confused about how to clasp my shoes onto the bike. Devin, the instructor, was super nice and helpful in getting me set up on my bike for the first time, making me feel very welcome and safe in the space (and I was quite nervous, might I add). Devin's music selection was top-notch, his energy was completely vibrant, and he was great at explaining each move. As the class went on, I felt more comfortable in the space and pushed my abilities to the max. Overall, Devin's workout DID NOT disappoint, and I will definitely be coming back, as me motivated me to come back and attend his class again. Thank you, Devin you truly know what you're doing! read more

So..... on my recent visit I came away with mixed feelings. I thought the front desk was nice and I liked my instructor and I also liked the facilities. Where I'm hung up is on the price (studio fee plus shoes), as mentioned by other reviewers, the workout is over with fast ---- and I couldn't justify the price inside my head. In addition, the music was waaayyyyy too loud. Others might like it, but I didn't. I may feel differently on subsequent tries, but this is where I land for now. read more

Love this studio, but don't love how showers are so limited! Staff is very efficient in this location and for some reason even though theres limited space it feels like you can move to your lockers faster than Castro location. I'll hit this location up from time to time. read more

I reserved a spot in the class through ClassPass, and since this was my first class, my shoe rentals were included with my reservation (aka free). I got to the studio about 15 minutes early to check in, figure out what size shoe I needed, and stow my stuff in a locker. The lockers have built-in combination locks, so you don't need to bring your own lock. As a first-timer, I got a very cute handwritten card on my bike that congratulated me for attending my first class. Thank you to the front desk -- they went out of their way to write this kind little note! Unfortunately, since I was sitting at the far side of the studio and there were 5-6 first timers in the class, the staff forgot to give me a rundown of how to clip into my bike. I have never used clip-in pedals before, so it took me at least five minutes of fumbling around to figure out how to use them. The class itself was very fast-paced and high energy, and I wasn't expecting so many arm/body movements to accompany the pedaling. However, the pedaling alone is a significant workout, so the extra movements aren't a must-do. The instructor (Sierra) thankfully made it clear that we should just do what we felt comfortable with. In terms of what I didn't love: 1) The waiting/locker area is really cramped, and there isn't enough seating for everyone to put their shoes on/off right before/after class. I recommend getting to the studio early so you don't feel rushed. 2) If you stretch out your arm to the side while sitting on your bike, you'll be touching your neighbor's shoulder. Since everyone is sweating and panting for an hour in a cramped room, it gets very hot and stuffy inside during class. This is a high intensity cardio workout, so I wish they had more vents/fans. read more

this review is to spread the word about Devin. He is an amazing instructor. He has great music selection, high fun energy, vibrancy, and is just fun. His classes give me that classic soulcycle high I always chase. His classes are hard but the choreography is really fun and challenging and I always leave getting my a$$ kicked but the perfect amount. I've been going to soul for years and just felt compelled to tell you guys to try him out. He's awesome read more

This studio is terrific, starting with the friendliest manager and front desk crew. The studio is always immaculate and the instructors welcoming, encouraging and prepared for a great ride. I've been to several studios in NYC, Eastern LI and SF and I'll always appreciate the Union Street Soul experience. Give UNST a try and go for a ride! read more

First Soul Cycle class: done Since I started my fitness journey, it's been a goal of mine to try Equinox, Barry's, and Soul Cycle! These are three fitness clubs that have helped make fitness the lucrative industry it is today. It was an absolutely amazing ride taught by the motivating and oh so hilarious Lauren McHale! One part inspiring, one part meditative, and 100% hard work. Sweat factor comparable to a sauna. I loved the energy in the room, and highly recommend the class! However, spending the weekend in the Marina neighborhood has inspired me to write about the need for diversity in fitness, which is a subject I've been hesitant to discuss. Both days I got a stink eye and scoff from a fellow client who treated me like I didn't belong with the rest of the group. Each occurred within seconds of entering a room, so I can only guess it had to do with my outward appearance since little interaction occurred. The Marina District is an affluent, predominantly white neighborhood in San Francisco. I am neither. Was it my curves? My skin color? Because I didn't look like I belong? Regardless of the reason, I never felt that uncomfortable in San Francisco before. Guess what? Scoff all you want. I'm here to stay. I love fitness and no stink-eye is going to deter me from my goals. I can't let a couple prejudice people dictate the way I feel. It just makes me want to take more Soul Cycle classes! Let's empower and motivate one another! (And be nice.) read more

I LOVE THIS STUDIO. Staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating and instructors are next level. I usually take early morning or evening classes and it always makes my day. i've seen an improvement in cycling and can't wait to go to the next class. I wish there was an unlimited membership option cause i'd be there everyday. read more

Obsessed! This was my first time at Soul Cycle. If you call and book directly your first class is $20. The girl on the phone who took my reservation was amazing! Chelsi took my reservation and set me up when I came in. She was super thorough and helpful. When I walked into the studio I was a little apprehensive because the bikes are literally packed in. I started having a bit of anxiety as I set up my bike. Usually in cycling classes I pull my bike away from the pack cuz I like to have my own personal space. Our instructor Bea came in and I was already impressed by her friendliness and energy. When the lights went out and the class got started she was lit by candlelight. Her legs were moving so fast it looked like there was a strobe light in front of her! This wasn't my first rodeo, I've taken many spin classes before... This is what sets SoulCycle apart: 1. Preparation- the playlist wasn't something that Bea just put together the hour before. The music was thoughtful (almost choreographed but not). It wasn't the top 5 pop hits either. Her music was FIRE. 2. Movement- the movement on the bikes was dynamic (push-ups, sit-backs) I was sweating bullets and my heart rate was crazy! 3. Weight training- the weights on the back of our bikes were used to target our upper body. Such a well rounded experience. 4. Stretch- in my experience, stretch is an afterthought in a typical cycling class but here it is intentional. 5. Motivation- the affirmations that Bea was giving us was amazing! I felt like she was a life coach. I can't wait to go back to SoulCycle on my next trip to the Bay Area!! read more

This place is iiiiiincredible. The facility is super clean, the equipment is in perfect condition, and the classes themselves will, guaranteed, be the best spin class you've ever taken! It's a full body workout, even my arms are sore after the class. Sunday mornings with Paula is the best way to start the week!! Yes the price point is steep, but after one class you'll realize it's worth it. read more

Imagine this: low key scary but elegantly kinda hella buff people in sheer-paneled Lululemon leggings, double fistin' da draaanks: La Boulangerie almond milk latte in one hand, EarthBar Blueberry Bliss smoothie in the other. You can smell the grapefruit aroma from the candles they light in the studio from a block away. You don't even have to do a Yelp search--you know SoulCycle is nearby Fulfilled my dream of being a bougie Marina girl (even if it was just for one night). Went for a ride at SoulCycle Union St and went to EarthBar for a post ride fuelin treat!! This studio was just as clean and citrus-y smelling as the other studios!! The other studios I've been to have had one men's bathroom and one women's bathroom, but here, the stalls and showers aren't within one room. There are a few doors with showers and some with bathrooms near the lockers I LOVE MK. TAKE HER CLASS AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE FOREVER CHANGED. The whole concept of SoulCycle is kinda cult-like...but the post ride high leaves you feelin' sooooooo good and cravin' more. You're pedaling for dear life in a dark, sweaty, loud room with like 60 strangers, but in all honesty, it's really, really, REALLLLLLLY fun!! Kinda feels more like a rave than a workout class. So much dancing and screaming and loud music YES das my jam This workout really can be for everyone!! The instructor is up there yellin' things and all that hoo-ha, but really, it's all in your hands. And you might as well push yourself and get out of your comfort zone because you're paying an arm and a leg to be there!! General info: First class is $20 with complimentary shoe rental, and then some studios give you a free 2nd ride pass (SF SoMa did after I took my first ride but not sure if this is something all studios do), and you can also purchase 3 classes for $60 total (but this time you have to pay for shoe rental). After that, it's $32 per class + $3 per shoe rental :( the instructors are always super friendly and motivating and know just how to get you to want to keep pedaling even when you can't anymore. And the music is always BOOMIN'!! You can go online or use the app to book your specific bike. The class consists of a sprints series, hills, arms/weights, and cool down with an optional stretch Bottom line: I think this is my least favorite of the studios I've ridden at, but it's still a really nice studio!! There are a bunch of post ride treat options in the area (Loving Cup, Urban Remedy, Vegan Picnic, EarthBar). If you're looking for a new workout or something to motivate you, book a SoulCycle class ASAP. It's like...therapy?? (-1 star because hella pricy) read more

Arrived way late to the SoulCycle party and tried out a few (heavily discounted) classes here. Now that my discounts are over, I don't think I'll be back since I just can't justify the ridiculous $36 prices. The themed rides are cute and I loved the endorphin rushes I got at the end, but I don't think it's even that good of a workout. Pretty sure I was only sweating so much because of how stuffy the room is, I barely felt sore afterwards, and those 45 minutes pass REAL quickly. But the main reason I wanted to post this review was to shout out Anna, a member of the crew who was SO helpful on my second ride. They give you a lot of personalized attention on your first but then leave you to your devices on your second -- Anna noticed that I was lost and came to help me adjust my bike and get set up. Her warmth and friendliness went a longgg way in a setting full of chilly, judgy vibes. Management, if you're reading this, hire more people like Anna -- she is a gem who took my review from 2-3 stars to 4! Bottom line: if you have a couple racks to blow on head to toe lululemon, bike shoes, and exorbitantly priced classes (and maybe you do, this is the marina, after all), Soul cycle is for you. This is the type of place where they charge for water but not kombucha. If that appeals to you, all power to you, but I'll be sticking to old-fashioned runs in the park. read more

I love Soul, but I didn't love this Studio. The facilities are fine, two private unisex showers and quite clean + spacious, but the staff were not welcoming at all (in comparison to the four other branches I've gone to in the Bay Area). Perhaps it was an off time since the next class wasn't starting for about 20 min. The class itself wasn't that amazing either - I had Leah Life, who is probably a great instructor, but unfortunately she had a sore throat that day -- how unlucky. She had a friend of her's ride at the front in her place, and she spent the whole class walking around and talking until she lost her voice. As much as I knew she was trying her best to motivate us, I just couldn't get into that class. I'm disappointed they didn't find another instructor to substitute. Sure is unfortunate having to pay $32. Don't think I'll be coming back to this particular studio again. read more

I've been Spinning since the early 90's and attend classes twice a week so was intrigued when I heard the buzz about Soul Cycle. I decided to see what all the hype was about and took advantage of their $20 first class offer (classes are $30 each unless you buy a series). The facility is super clean. I loved the lockers (you set your own code) and the showers were immaculate and well-stocked with toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hairspray, deodorant, towels, hairdryer and even tampons!). Towels are placed on the bikes for your use and you can bring your own clip in cycling shoes or rent a pair of theirs ($3). The classes are very high energy. An extremely high cadence was expected throughout the entire 45 minute workout, most of it in a standing position on the pedals. The two reasons I would not give Soul Cycle SF 5 stars is: the cost ($30 per class unless you buy a package, then the cost goes down to $26-28 per class) and the lack of ventilation in the packed room (I think there are 55 bikes in the room, positioned very close to each other). There are no fans or windows so the air quickly became very dense and warm (kind of like Bikram cycling-lol). The workout incorporates some pushup maneuvers on the handlebars (while still Spinning rapidly) and uses light hand weights for a series of upper body movements. The movements are so quick they could hardly be seen as muscle building, I think its purpose is to get your heart rate even higher. Shortly after we had finished the weight portion of the workout, I heard a thump on the floor. A girl in her early 20's was collapsed on the floor near my bike. Her friend quickly came to her aide and the teacher dismounted and helped the girl out of the room. The paramedics came and she appeared to be OK though visibly distraught. A word of caution: This workout is NOT for people who don't already have a somewhat high level of fitness! I thought it was very intense (but inspiring and fantastic) but I felt close to passing out at times! Another note is that I had changed my reservation from 6:00 p.m. to the 5:00 p.m. class and discovered later they had charged me the walk-in rate of $30 instead of just changing my class time, as I had requested. I called the next day to ask them to refund my money. Instead, they offered to add a class to my account. I stated that I would prefer a refund since I wasn't sure if I would come again. The girl who I was speaking with sounded very hesitant to do this so I followed up with an email to the main office. They offered to give me two classes instead of the refund. It's very clear they want you to get hooked on these classes (at $30/student, they're making over $1500/class)! I decided to take their offer and will probably end up being a regular, although at those prices, I won't go more than a once or twice a month. All in all, I would recommend Soul Cycle as a great way to shake up your current workout routine. The music and instructor (I had Lauren but I'm sure they all are great) are very high energy and motivating and I love the location in Cow Hollow though you should be prepared for the demographic of this area (e.g. 99.9% Caucasian, early 20's to mid 30's). read more

Taylor B's review nails it on the head. In summary, it's expensive, there's poor ventilation so you think you're getting a better workout than you really are, and you're spinning for only like 30 minutes, which is lame. I like the energy of the instructor, the music, and the use of weights, but that's about it. If the celebrity brand image is what you need to get your ass off the couch and you have the $$$, then I guess you need to do what you need to do. I'd prefer running for an hour in Golden Gate park for free, but that's just me. However, the problem I have with this particular location is that I never got my discount for my first ride at this studio because they don't have enough staff to handle their phones and the crazy demand. I'm not sure why that is my problem and why they still could not reimburse my money even after being told initially that I could. In the end, they were only willing to give me a reduced rate if I committed to another class. Uh, no thanks! Anyway, the bottom line is that there's a very particular demographic SoulCycle is targeting...and I am not in it. read more

I've had a rough month when it comes to spinning. The beloved Flywheel studio in my 'hood closed so it's been weeks since I've gotten a good ride. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Flywheel, but after trying today's SoulCycle class I can't help, but think "fly what?" I've been following the SoulCycle hype for some time now, but sadly there's no SoulCycle in Chicago. When I discovered a few weeks ago that they opened a location in San Francisco (my home away from home) I was psyched. It turns out that I'm not the only one excited because when I went to sign up for the 7am Friday class the Monday before (the online res system opens every Monday at 12pm) I was waitlisted. Fortunately a few people must have decided to sleep in because a few days later I received an email that I was "IN!" Whoo hoo! The Marina isn't the most convenient location for where I like to stay in SF, but I cabbed on over bright and early from my hotel. When I checked in they asked me if I needed spinning shoes. I did since I left mine back in Chicago. The girl behind the desk told me they cover my shoes for the first class, but typically it's a $3 charge for shoes. Wha? For $30/class (first time is just $20) I personally think they should cover your shoes. The shoe charge is really the only thing I have to complain about because Jenny's 7am class was uh-mazing! It was clear that the 60 or so people in the class were regulars. In fact, it was basically like one big spinning cult. They were all even wearing the same exact pants (including the instructor). Kinda scary, but then again the pants are super cute...I may be wearing them next time. ;) I've taken a lot of spinning classes, but this one may have been my new favorite. Within 45 minutes we danced, we did pushups, we did weights, we sang...and all on a bike! It was fun, yet an incredible workout! It takes a lot for me to sweat, but I was ready for a shower halfway thru the class. I plan on being a SoulCycle regular during my frequent travels to San Francisco, but am also hoping they branch out to Chicago (specifically the North Shore) soon! We Midwesterners love a good spinning class! read more

Kudos to SoulCycle... they have kick ass workouts down to a science! I have friends in LA and NY that swear by SoulCycle and now, after experiencing my first SC class at this studio, I can see why. Andrea R motivated me to sign up in advance (highly recommended) for an early Monday morning (6:00 AM) class taught by Lindy, and good thing, because the class was full! And they squeeze a lot of people into one spin room too... pretty sure over 50! The staff that welcomed us were slammed but friendly enough and since it was my first time, they helped me get settled on my bike, which was a nice touch. Lindy led a killer workout that incorporated speed, endurance, strength and stretching at the end... it was one of the best classes I've taken (and I've taken a LOT of classes)! I'd guess that most of the SoulCycle classes are pretty amazing regardless of the instructor. And due to the SC studios popping up internationally, I'd assume other studios are on par with being clean, having a friendly and helpful staff, lockers, shoes, water, apparel, inspiring music and rockstar instructors. Now... if only I could get a SC studio near me in AZ?! Although... at approximately $30 a pop, it's better for my pocket book that this is not an option. For now, I guess I'll save my splurge spending for Soul Cycle when I travel. Happy spinning! read more

For the love of god, can you please share an update on when you are reopening?!?! 5 stars because I love you, but c'mon! We miss you and hope everyone is doing OK! read more

I've been going to Soul Cycle for 5 years now in both NYC and SF. Classes with good instructors at this location sell out quickly. The classes you stand a chance of actually booking are just 'meh'. Signed up for a 7:30 pm class that was less than half full. Left work early and hustled over there. Front desk apologized and said that they were out of women's size 9 shoes, but offered me a size 8 or a 10. It was so strange - this has literally never happened to me at Soul Cycle before. First of all - suggestion to wear a too-large size is actually unsafe. Secondly, it's just bad management. Third, I asked for a refund because I couldn't take the class, but the account hasn't been credited. Now I have to deal with all their corporate BS now to try to get the class credit back. Life is too short, and there are many places to get a good workout in SF. I won't return to this location. read more

I went for the first time last Tuesday - the 7:30pm class with MJ. It was great!! I loved the music, the vibe, the workout, and the energy! All so good. The facilities are uber clean and everyone is very nice and informative. The prices for going on a regular basis are very much out of my budget at this time but I am happy for the opporutinity to try it out! read more

The front desk staff is remarkable. Very friendly and helpful, especially Haley. She has great customer service skills. It makes a difference. Thank you! read more

HANDS DOWN, the BEST. The only other SoulCycle studio I've been to was in Hollywood, but both places have been great!! The only difference I can tell is that this location is smaller, otherwise everything lives up to the hype. The ambiance is AMAZING! They always play the best music to hype you up, and the playlist is very current. I'm pretty sure this last class had a bunch of Beyonce's Lemonade on it. The dim lights, candlelights, and kick @$$ instructors...you know the scene. I love how the equipment is NICE, the studio is CLEAN, and lockers and towels are provided. SoulCycle is top notch and is the best spin place I have ever been to. Booking a class was easy, and everyone who works here is very nice. The classes are intense, but a great great workout. I don't care if Kimmy Schmidt warned me, I love SC!! read more

Great staff and location! Metered street parking is easy to find during the week day. On weekends, not so easy but there's a parking garage a couple of blocks away towards Lombard. My wife and I took a couple of classes here and the Soul SF team was great. Loved Lisa's class who's from New Canaan CT and knows Connor and Nina from Soul Greenwich. Thanks for looking after our Jack Russell while we were in class! read more

SoulCycle Union Street - Lisa & the SF soul team are awesome! While Lisa pushed us to our cardio limits, the front desk took care our Jack Russell. - Cycling Classes Near Me - San Francisco, California

YES!! Finally a SoulCycle in the city!!! The Marin was way too far to trek to. I've been to 2 classes so far and the process to sign up was super easy. I logged in on Monday at noon and was able to get into the classes no problem. If you haven't tried out SC- you must! Its a great workout. The reasons why the spin classes are so great is because of the instructors (super fit and motivational - albeit sometimes a little corny), the music, and upper body workout throughout the class. SC on Union Street is a great location because there are plenty of places to eat/shop before/after. Some things to note: - $30 per class (must wear spin shoes and free first time, $3 rental after- you can pay cash or have a CC on file.) - You buy PER CLASS there is no membership type thing here - After 4 minutes of the class you seat will be given up, 10 minutes late and you will not be allowed to disrupt the class (good rule, be prompt!) - This location is a bit small compared to Santa Monica so instead of a women's/men's locker room there are changing rooms, bathrooms, and 2 showers. Gets a bit congested while waiting - give yourself some time Can't wait to go back! read more

So I went to my first Soulcycle class to see what the hype was all about. I had only taken one other non-Soulcycle spinning class before and thought this would be the same and I was very pleasantly surprised. Unlike the other class, where I was anxiously looking at my watch waiting for it to be over, I was too busy having fun at this one to bother thinking about time and having a great workout to. What more could you ask for in a spinning class? The music was great, some of the staff even came and did an impromptu 'fashion show' in the middle which was very amusing, and someone even celebrated her birthday there and a had a little 'cake' with a candle while the class sang 'Happy Birthday'. You don't see that too often in an ordinary workout. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the locker room area was clean, but small, and lastly, the instructor, Lauren, was very friendly and motivational, so I recommend taking a class with her if you want to go there as a start. I would give it 5 stars but am taking one off for the obvious- at $30 a class, plus $3 shoe rental, unless you bring your own, I think it's way too expensive, especially if you plan on going regularly, unless you have money to burn. But I would recommend going at least once if you want to see what it's like. It's $20 for your first class, and the $3 shoe rental fee is waived. I also recommend getting the free earplugs at the front desk if you value your hearing, and bringing in your own water bottle unless you want to pay a few dollars for basic bottled water. Other than that, have fun and enjoy the ride! read more

When in SF I like to hit up SoulCycle once a week for a killer burn. Sweating is good, get rid of those toxins:). It's expensive at $32 a class, kind of elitist. I love/hate it. Love the results hate the process. It ain't easy that's for sure. I'd recommend getting your own shoes if you go often enough. read more

I went for my first ride early on a Saturday morning. I was extremely nervous, but Lisa calmed my nerves as soon as she started giving the class a pep talk when we were getting ready to begin. I hadn't sweat that much in a long time. The studio was clean, the staff was super friendly and I was able to find parking (this area is usually a nightmare). I took a 7:30AM class, which is not normally Lisa's. I will definitely end up becoming a regular here. :) read more

First of all, they are super smart to use YELLOW as their theme color. haha My favorite color! Valentine's Day was my first visit ever at soul cycle. Make up vs Break up theme with Tiff. Perfect class to take on Valentine's day. The staff was great and friendly. The place was clean and bright. 2 restroom, 2 showers, 3 changing rooms. They provide lotion, decorate, hairspray, and etc for you. Lockers with reset-able lockers. Tiff was amazing. I needed someone who is fun and energetic because I find cycling alone is boring. She was fun and up beat, which made the class fun. She switched up the routine a lot, made the class go back quickly. After the first 10 mins I thought I was gonna die. It was tough but enjoyed every second of it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Been a loyal Soul Rider for almost 3 years. Chris is back from L.A. so was super excited to take his class last night. He's one of my favorite instructors next to Ian. I love Soul Cycle. I am truly addicted. I love the music and the rush I get once I've finished a class. I finally went to the new Castro location and it was not only super modern but they had a disco light!!! I think Union street will always have my heart but I do love the new Castro Soul Cycle. read more
