CYCLEBAR

Absolutely love CycleBar! I wish I had join way before I did. Doesn’t matter the class or instructor you will get a great workout. Though can’t miss Leah’s class- she is one of the absolute best instructors I have had! Always a killer class! The staff is friendly and the studio is immaculate. The leadership is always there to help you with anything you need or are concerned about. Can’t wait to keep riding at CycleBar - Assembly!

So I will start off my saying the instructor was very motivating and actually made the class fun. The rest of this review isn’t placing full blame on Cycle Bar, but rather to hopefully spread awareness in case any first time cyclers read the reviews. I took a class Sunday afternoon, and although I was in the saddle more than some other people, I felt that I challenged myself an appropriate amount. Immediately after class I could barely walk without my legs giving out, but I thought I was just very fatigued. The next day I ended up in the ER with Rhabdomyolysis and have been in the hospital for four days and counting. If you do research on rhabdo you will find that it causes muscle loss, muscle fibers going into your bloodstream and in some cases, including mine, can be fatal if left untreated. And again I’m not putting full blame on the studio, however since being in the hospital I have heard countless stories from nurses and doctors about how taking a cycling class for the first time has put people in my situation, so it’s not uncommon at all. I was asked multiple times in the studio if it was my first time cycling and I answered yes everytime. I think it wouldn’t be harmful for staff to be properly informed about the possibility of this happening and to inform first time cyclers that they might want to dial back even further than they feel necessary. Even though people should do their own research, signing up for something that is supposed to benefit you, like a workout class, does not prompt people (or at least me) to look into serious medical contritions like this. Again not placing blame on the studio or the staff, just want to spread some awareness so hopefully someone can avoid the shitty situation I have been placed in.

I love cyclebar! Even when i was in Cali. I had to find cyclebar over there! The staff and Shannon are amazingly so warm and friendly. Leah class is the killer! I wouldn’t miss her Sunday class. She definitely has amazing energy and motivated everyone in the class. I always came out drenched with sweat and it’s so worth it!!!

I can’t recommend spinning at CycleBar Assembly Row enough! The studio itself is in a fantastic location super close to the T and also right near free parking. You’re always greeted by the friendly front door staff, who keep the studio running smoothly and helping with anything you need. The instructors are fantastic - whether it’s a theme ride or a normal ride, the music is always unreal and the best time and they create such a great community in each class. I especially love the Connect ride with its fast speeds, out of the saddle jogs, and fun choreo! Even though I live 30+ minutes away, it’s so worth it coming to CycleBar to work out!!!!

Newer to the area but absolutely made the right choice to join CycleBar Assembly Row as a transplant from CycleBar GreenGate in Virginia. The front desk staff are friendly, and the instructors are fantastic (shout out Allie & Anna's 7am MWF classes)! The music and energy are electric as you would expect in the CycleBar universe. The best spin option around!
