First time spinning.... EVER! Nancy and Karen made me feel immediately comfortable especially going solo. Karen helped me set up my bike and walked me through everything and at the end Nancy made an effort to give me some advise and pointers and was so kind and welcoming. I'm so glad I found this place. It kicked my ASS and I know I'm going to feel it tomorrow but I already set up my next class for Monday with Nancy again in Clifton Park. Thank you girls for making me feel like I fit right in!!! I really enjoyed it!!! read more

Highly recommend The Revolution. I started as someone with no experience spinning about a year ago. Initially, it is hard to get used to - the seat hurts your booty & even the pedals can hurt your feet. Stick with it - you'll get better quickly and get the hang of it! I'm so glad I did. I've gone 200 times now and am addicted. Staff are extremely friendly and motivating. Great workout year round with a group of talented instructors who seem to truly enjoy leading the class. There is truly no bad class. Well worth the cost. Highly recommend. Side note - I was able to do this throughout my pregnancy and feel it optimized my health during that challenging time. It minimized my weight gain and helped control my blood pressure. It made delivery much easier and healing very quick. I started when I was already pregnant, so don't let that be a deterrent if you are in the same circumstance. Just give it a try!! You won't regret it! read more

There are many things I'd rather do than work out. However, after the third week in row, your butt gets used to the seat, you find your position on the bike that is 'comfortable', the 45 minutes goes by faster, and you are not clinging onto life in the last 15 minutes. Rev is a gym completely devoted to cycling. The facility is just an open room with around 30 bikes, a couple changing rooms, a bathroom, some loud speakers and some twinkling lights. Cycling is done in a dark room, with loud music, and a motivational instructor ready to kick your butt into gear. Most classes are about 45 minutes which can go by slow, or fast, depending on your mind and body! The instructors I've been to have all been really great, especially Nancy, who owns the place. There is an open 'come as you are' vibe, which is really nice if you are uncomfortable with working out. definitely no judgment zone here. Spin at your pace if you need to, or jump up and down on the bike along with the crowd. I enjoy Rev a lot, but I consider it more of a specialty class that I would go to if I tire of my usual routine, because the classes are pricey. We purchased a 10 pack of classes for $130, and my regular gym (which has spin classes) is only around $20 a month. The classes at Rev are at a completely different level than other places I've been to. Grab some water, a towel, and try it out! read more

BEST PLACE TO SPIN IN THE CAPITAL REGION! I had tried other classes at big gyms but nothing compares to The Revolution. The experience and workout is so much fun and the only exercise that I truly have found to enjoy! I highly suggest to anyone who wants to workout but wants to have fun while doing it. Not to mention, the instructors are so friendly, helpful, and motivating. I'm super sad to be moving from the area because I don't know if I will be able to find as great of a place as The Rev. read more

Let me start off by saying I don't like spin and I don't like gyms. I like food and going to leisurely brunches. I've tried spin at regular gyms and REALLY disliked it but The Revolution is completely dedicated to spin and they do it really well and it makes you hate it less, so you go more. They keep the place really dark which I like. Good air flow/fans so you stay cool and they pump the music loud with great playlists that are motivating. The instructors are welcoming to first timers. We reserved our class online before we came but you can pay in person too. They have interesting combo classes like the one we took today, ab revolution, which is 45mins of spin and 15mins of an ab workout on the floor with mats and balls (they provide) they have a water cooler with cups and also provide towels for you to use during class. But i recommend you bring a big jug of your own water. I won't become a gym rat anytime soon. But this place might just help you live longer so you can enjoy more food! read more

The Revolution - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Latham, New York

See all

Dragging myself to the gym was increasingly difficult this winter. It was cold, the days were short, and all I wanted to do after a long day of work was curl up on the couch in my Pjs. I knew that if I couldn't motivate myself to get to, and stay at, the gym, another exercise option was needed. Having never done a spin class before, I researched the various options in the area. At $13/class, Revolution was about average on cost when compared to the two or three other spin gyms in the cap region. My first class was the one of the latest time slot they offer - a 6:15 pm weekday class. I left work promptly at 5:30 so that I could have more than enough time to get there in rush hour traffic. I had e-mailed the gym ahead of time letting them know it was my first class and asking some basic questions. Nancy (perhaps the manager or owner?) e-mailed me back within 24 hours and advised me to arrive 15 minutes early so she could set me up with the bike and give me some basic tips. Well, apparently 45 minutes is barely enough time to get from Albany to Loudonville during rush hour. We got there with just minutes to spare. Regardless, the instructor was still able to set us up. The evening class was great, but THAT TRAFFIC! I wish more later weekday classes (starting 6:30 and later) were offered for those who work and don't live in the Latham area (the latest class starts at 6:45 and it is only once per week). Come on, Revolution! Can we add a 7 pm weekday class for the working gals and guys?! I've only ever done the "Rev Up" class (descriptions of each kind of class are on their website, many different kinds offered), which is 45 minutes of cycling, and I will admit it kicks my butt every time. The two instructors I've had are encouraging, motivating, and cycle with you the whole time. I feel like I get a really good work out during these 45 minutes. There are two television screens that will track your heart rate and estimate your calories burned. If you want to be able to track yourself, you'll need to buy a special heart rate monitor with wi-fi ability to connect to the system. The instructor will sometimes have an extra heart-rate monitor that she will loan out, but she usually just has one. Run down: For each class, be sure to register online. Aim to arrive a few minutes early to get yourself situated (if it's your first time, arrive 10-15 minutes early). There's one bathroom and a changing room, but no showers. There are hooks for jackets, but no lockers, so pack light. There is a water cooler, but there are not cups, so BYOB (the "B" is for Bottle, guys!). Bring your own small towel to wipe your brow - you'll need it. The music is loud, but if you're sensitive to that, there are earplugs you can grab at the front desk. Classes are mostly women, but there are a handful of men who come. Ages are diverse and range from high school students to people in their sixties. read more
