CYCLEBAR

Had an amazing experience. Everyone was so welcoming. Jiaya was an awesome instructor

While in Charlotte for a work event, a few colleagues and I decided to venture over to Cyclebar for the Tuesday @ 6AM class with Ali as the gym in our hotel was under renovations.

We were able to take our first ride at this studio for free and the representative who called us to help us get scheduled made sure all of our bikes were together for the class. Once we arrived, the person at the front desk greeted us and showed us around the studio (lockers, area to get ready, shoes/ check-in area, etc). We were then taken to our bike which they help you set up if you need it. The studio room is dark with only a couple of lights and looks more like a club - it's fun!

The class itself was fantastic and was fitting to the theme of that day! Ali had great music and included fun choreography which provided an extra good workout. Our team loved it so much that we went back the next two days to ride with Kristen and then Ali again and more people joined us each time.

I would definitely sign up for the monthly membership with them if I lived in the area! Great studio!

I've been a member here for a little over a year and it has been such a blast! I wasn't a very consistent person when it came to getting excercise and this place has changed my schedule for the better. I first tried out a class on class pass and I was instantly hooked.
The class itself is super challenging and makes you stay engaged but they fly by so fast because the instructors are so much fun and encourage everyone throughout the class. You are always given the option to make adjustments to the class that fits your style/energy and I've never felt pressured to fit in.
When you arrive, you check in on the iPads at the front and borrow cycle shoes for free if you do not have your own. Then, when you turn around the corner there are free lockers to use while you're in class. They also have bathrooms, showers, water, coffee, and sometimes they give out free stuff like energy drinks or treats!
If you haven't tried cyclebar, you should give this location a shot because it's so rewarding and fun!

Hip Hop Thursday with Meg is the best! The music and her energy sold me! I cannot wait to sign up.

This place is so much fun, I was invited to a birthday ride here on a Sunday with about 30 others and the guy doing the class was high energy with great music which really made this super fun for me as I have never enjoyed cycling. This class was mostly cycling but combined some strength training as well as each bike has 4lb and 6lb weighted bar on the side so you really get a full body workout.

They have everything you need for class, water, towels, lockers and shoes that connect to the pedal of the bike...........sweet! After the 45 minute class we were treated to fruit, cheese and mimosa's. They also sell workout gear here. We had lots of fun during class, but be warned that the soreness is real from this class.

Whatever you do, don't sign up online!!! They charge you a $99 "enrollment fee" that doesn't apply to any classes. They said it's like purchasing a ticket on Ticketmaster through their website. What?! Who would pay $99 for a transaction fee? Enroll in-person to avoid this fee. Actually, avoid this place completely!!! They are extremely rude and don't care about providing decent customer service. The general manager is the worst, biggest attitude and ego I've ever encountered. Get out of customer service, you are terrible at it. Beware of the 30-day cancellation notice as well. They make it hard to cancel and when you do, you are still charged another month BUT only get to use your rides for 2 weeks after canceling- WHAT?!! Just bad and half the bikes don't even work.

Cyclebar was great ! It made me realize that I am super out if shape and do some more conditioning . The teacher all of the staff was amazing . I'd definitely go back. Great idea for weight loss journey .

If you want your workout to feel like a well catered, high energy party, then this is the gym for you.

Opening this week, this family run business really focuses on bringing a positive atmosphere to the cycling experience. They have free use of clip in shoes with each class, free water bottles with room temperature and ice cold water on tap. When you get to your assigned bike, it's already set up with a fresh cleaned towel and weighted bar.

General amenities include two unisex shower/changing rooms, and two unisex bathrooms. They also have free use of lockers that you set the combination on, so there's no key to lose.

As for the classes, you're in a dark room lit up like a hot night club, complete with live DJ and an awesome leader called a "Cycle Star" who motivates the class with vibrant energy and also tells you what resistance and rpm you should be at for each song in your workout. The specked out bikes are connected to a main computer, so the instructor can post the "class rankings" on the main front screens, so you can see how you stack up with your fellow classmates. But, don't worry, it goes by user name that you set up, so you can keep it fairly anonymous if you want.

So head over to King street and try these guys out. I know I'll be back.

Fun and challenging spin classes! Energetic instructors, friendly staff and clean facilities.

I'm visiting from Los Angeles and have been going to Soul Cycle for 2 years. When I didn't find a location in Charlotte I looked for just a spin class and stumbled upon Cycle Bar.

I took an uber there and arrived around 7:30am. The first class was at 8 and they were already open! As soon as I walked in some one greeted me with open arms. She could tell it was my first time, when I told her I was from LA she shared she was from San Diego and we immediately connected. They got me registered for my first class, gave me shoes and a free water bottle!!! So cool. I felt like I had been there a million times, the customer service was extremely good.

Once in the class, the volume of the music was good, lighting was good, quality of the bike was good. There is a monitor on your bike to track what you are doing and the instructor tells you what settings they would like you on. I'm kind of type A personality so this distracted me a bit because I became so focused on the numbers that I couldn't clear my mind and JUST exercise. But mid way through the class I covered the monitor with my towel and it definitely made my work out better. The clipping in on the bike was also a bit different from my other spin classes, but clipping out was easy. There is a bar for the weights section of the class (I thought that was so cool "Cyclebar").

After class I got to refill my water bottle, grab fruits and they had chiropractors there and I got stretched out and a mini massage. That was AWESOME!

I come to NC once or twice a year, I will definitely return here!
