B/SPOKE Indoor Cycling Studio

I tried one class and I was hooked. Amazing. Could not love it more.
The changing area/​locker area is a bit small and narrow but the classes make it worth it. Keep doing EXACTLY what you are doing. And open more locations!

Best studio in town hands down. Love the instructors and the staff is great, not to mention awesome products in the bathroom. Worth giving it a try if you haven’t been yet!

I signed up for a class here after reading such glowing reviews. I’ve gotta say, this was not my favorite class. I took the R/​DE class and left feeling like it was less of a spin class and more of a «do pushups on a spin bike» class.
The studio itself is nice. Friendly staff to help you get checked in and set up on your bike. I took a class with Ali and she was very friendly and motivating throughout.
The minuses, for me were as mentioned the weird upper body workout component. Maybe there’s a more conventional class I could take next time I’m in town. Also, the room is SO loud. I felt like I needed the ear plugs just to get through this class.

This studio is amazing. I continue to try new places around Boston and can’t find anything that compares! The music, the atmosphere, the instructors– everything is far superior than all other’s I’ve been too. Every time I go I get my butt kicked and come out dripping with sweat. Aly R, Katie D, and Susie are my favs, but all are great! Keep rockin’ Bspoke, we’ll keep coming!

This is a phenomenal gym! I loved the staff and instructors. I was new to the studio and they helped me clip in and showed me around the showers. Great products and clean showers!

I’m so mad I never knew about this place before. I work right down the street and this will be my new favorite workout spot. Staff is so friendly and helpful and the class is so fun and a full body workout. Only downside is that the facilities are small. If you want to grab a shower you’ll have to leave class early to get first in line!

Went with my mom for the first time during lunch on a Thursday, we had Natalie (bummer she is leaving she was great!). I’ve done a lot of spinning, this studio was great. Very nice facilities and staff. Great, efficient workout-​I was literally drenched in sweat. And they mentioned they will be having Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals-I’ll definitely be looking at those.

B/​spoke provides an amazing workout at a spectacular facility with top-​notch instructors for an affordable price (especially when they run sales)…what’s not to like? I was skeptical at first at paying a premium for a spinning class when I have spin bikes at my gym, but I gave it a try because of their great introductory class price and subsequent new client package and was hooked after the first class. I have been to about 20 classes since.
There is only one class at a time, which keeps the locker rooms as de-​cluttered as possible and allows for locker availability. While the locker rooms are a bit small and can be cramped when classes end/​begin, the facilities are clean and provide great amenities (hair dryer, makeup remover, face wash, etc… and who can forget AESOP PRODUCTS!). The classes themselves are wonderful. I have tried almost all of the instructors classes and by far my favorite is Katie. A big part of the experience for me is the music (hip hop ride is awesome), and Katie absolutely kills it. By the end of her classes I can honestly say I’m a bit bummed it’s over. Katie also keeps it interesting with different techniques/​moves during the ride. Susie is awesome too, great music and energy.
They no longer provide free plastic water bottles (I agree, saving the environment), but provide free shoe rentals, which is awesome for those new to spinning. And after a couple of classes, they begin to recognize their clients and what bike they are usually assigned. These types of classes and facilities can be intimidating at first, but the instructors and owners make sure new riders are settled and comfortable on their first day.
Whoever described this workout as a «dance party on a bike» was 100% accurate. I highly recommend b/​spoke and seriously doubt it gets better than this studio!

Great studio! Nice that they clean the bikes for you after each class! Weights during the class gives you a great upper body work out too! Will continue with this studio!

I was in Boston for work but didn’t want to miss my workout. I spin regularly at home so wanted to try to find one close to my hotel. I found B Spoke on Unilocal and was able to sign up for class on their website. It was $ 10 for the first class and that includes a shoe rental, which I thought was very reasonable. Mark at the front desk was helpful and very nice. Steph was the instructor when I went and was great, up beat, etc. I’m used to traditional spin and this is a little more like the trendier versions that include arm movements and core work — it was good for a change. Oh, they have free lockers as well! I’ll be back next time I’m in Boston.

If you haven’t been to B Spoke — you are missing out. I’ve been to so many spin studios in my life and this place is hands down — the best studio in Boston and beyond (hence the Best of Boston 2015 award!) Amazing instructors (Aly, Katie and Kelsey), hot beats, fun but challenging choreography, beautiful facilities, awesome toiletries (incl straighteners, curling irons etc) and a great sense of community. Everyone is so friendly, class is always kick-​a$$, and I always leave feeling like a million bucks. Do it.

Katie Dolaher convinced me to try spinning for the first time in my life. I was nervous I wouldn’t know what to do, but her class was fun and really challenging. She’s converted me to weekly attendee and I’m already seeing great results.
Her music changes all the time, and gets you fired up to crank through the whole class.

I am a very recent spin convert and have tried a few studios to see what I like. I tried one class here and ended up signing up for the 4/​$ 50 deal even before I got home after my first class.
First off, I have to say that the staff at the front desk get an A+ for their customer service. They are consistently sweet and welcoming. They answer any questions with so much friendliness and whenever I’ve needed help adjusting my bike, they haven’t hesitated to help out. The studio provides shoes and water if you need them which is a big plus.
I’ve tried three different instructors and I haven’t met one whose style I disliked. The instructors just seem so happy to be there and the energy is great! The music is great, too.
The bathrooms and changing spaces are really nice and clean. I can imagine that it gets hectic back there due to the size when a large class has let out, but for the most part when I’ve attended classes (during the weekends), I’ve noticed that a good chunk of people leave the studio right after the class so there isn’t as much of a line for the showers.
All in all, great experience thus far and I will keep coming here.

I was in town for the weekend and wanted to keep up with my spinning «habit»…Enter B/​SPOKE. I purchased a class for just $ 15. Classes at B/​SPOKE include shoe rental, unlimited towels, and a bottle of water… that’s a deal! Especially compared to other cycling studios like SoulCycle. They even clean up your bikes for you after class.
This place gets crowded and it’s hard to get ready for and after class unless you find space in the locker room and I’m not in love with the lighting of the spinning room (the walls are painted black but they keep small lights on overhead during class). But other than those two very minor things, this place is great. I’d definitely be a regular if I lived in town and will definitely be back next time I’m there.

I’d tried 2 – 3 other local spin places before and left feeling like spin wasn’t for me. I recently saw a Gilt deal for b/​spoke and figured I’d give spinning one more shot — 8 classes later and I’m straight up, obsessed.
So what makes this place different?
The instructors — great energy, great variety, great instruction.
The music — they pride themselves on great playlists and for good reason. This isn’t just a class, it really is a 45 minute dance party on a bike.
The hospitality — booking online is a breeze, the staff is genuinely friendly, free shoe rentals and water with every class, plus they have plenty of lockers and a lovely changing room with swanky complimentary toiletries.
Any minor hiccups are totally and completely overshadowed by what b/​spoke is doing right. Other reviewers comments were on point: yes, it’s small quarters so the transitional times between classes can get tight. Yes, there’s limited showers so you need to account for that if you plan to shower/​get ready after a class. And finally — yes, it’s expensive. But of all the ways to spend your money, I personally feel like it’s well worth it to be able to do something good for your body and have a great time while you’re at it.

I been to two other spin class studios in Boston, but B/​SPOKE Studios takes the cake at being the place with the best hospitality. From the minute you walk into the studio, you are greeted with a smile. Moreover, I was given a tour of the studio which made me fall more in love! This studio has a shower, tons of lockers, and offers free cold water. Usually we are charged an arm and a leg for water. I attended the first time free class and a Unilocal Event. I had fun and an awesome workout both times. I will recommend anyone to give this studio a try! I will be back.

With four classes and increasingly sharp experiences with the crew at B/​SPOKE under my slowly loosening belt, it’s about time for that five star review.
Instructors are going to have their own style, so snagging a multi-​pack and sussing out who makes you feel what is imperative. Aly kicks my ass and plays a killer soundtrack; Steph teaches me a new move, and keeps the routine electric.
Space is immaculate, and the only time you may feel a little cram sandwich is during the class shift — 35 sweaty people out, 35 soon-​to-​be sweaty people in, all sharing a space made for 40. Make friends; taste their perspiration.
The equipment tracks basics (mileage, power, kCals torched, how long you’ve been punished) and keeps a running tally for your post-​ride analysis geekery.
Icing on this cycling cake are the staff, who not only remember your face, but on my most recent visit, my shoe size. Damn. Free towels, bottled water, gum (you need some), earplugs and K-​cup tea? Sold.

First time spinning and quite frankly spinning in a dark dark room made it all the more fun! The space is very small with one spin class, lockers lining the walls and locker rooms. I have to say the staff was very friendly, gave me a tour around the space and answered any questions I had.
We had Aly as our instructor and I’ve seen her name mentioned on the reviews a lot. Beginners don’t fret because the instructors as well as the staff are informative and patient with all! They help you settle in and calibrate your bikes to your body to prevent any possible injuries. The music is upbeat, fast or it slows down to a more soothing natural state. The music was quite loud which is understandable to get your heart pumping but I have hard hearing so it was difficult for me at times. The class is dimmed so don’t feel like all eyes are on you because you really can’t see.
I went with a coworker who was nervous about spin class because she felt out of shape and it’s been a while since she’s worked out. After our 45 minute class, she felt great, wondering why she wasn’t sweating a lot more and surprised at how fast the class went. And it’s true, after Aly said this is the last song I was almost saying «can we keep going?» There will be intense moments where you’re pushing yourself but there’s other moments to cool down and catch your breath. It’s all about your own limits. The facility is great and provides you with necessities for class (towels, water, toiletries).
Thank you again for the invite Unilocal Fit Club!

Tonight, I came to B /​Spoke for Unilocal’s Fit Club — Free Spin Class. I’ve never attended a spin class before and this was a perfect opportunity to check it out. After checking in at the front desk and receiving a pair of shoes (on a rental basis), one of the staff members gave me a tour of the facility. I liked how the lockers didn’t require an additional lock and the four digit code on each locker could be changed per use. The spin instructor (Aly) was energetic and it was a motivational, mind relaxing, and stress relieving workout. The staff were friendly and assisted with bike setup (e.g., adjusting the seat to fit your height, determining the weight of dumbbells based on how fast you pedal).

I started spinning not too long ago at my local gym but wanted to step up my game so I began searching for a potential spin studio. I found b/​spoke via Unilocal and tried out their complementary class with Aly. She is dope! Amazing energy and upbeat playlist – mix of edm, hiphop & rock. The staff is nice and friendly and facility is spotless and modern. They provide everything you need – shoes, towels, bottled water and free lockers and basically every toiletry you need. They’re not cheap but when you factor in all these amenities, its not so bad.
I’m going to try out a couple more spin studios before i commit but b/​spoke really set the bar high.
