SoulCycle Williamsburg

The staff at the front desk is incredibly well-​trained, friendly and efficient and make the check-​in experience easy and relaxed. Great energy! Everything has a luxurious feel — clean and calm but invigorating. The instructors are phenomenal. Every time I ride, I leave feeling ecstatic — and ripped. :-)

I’ve been hearing a lot of hype about SoulCycle and I used to scoff at it. It seemed overpriced, and culty ($ 35 per class?! hell naw.) But they were offering a promotion: first ride free this past weekend and decided I had to give it a try.
WOW.
You walk in, and the studio is absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so kind, and explained everything to me since it was my first time. The shoes were free this time, but they usually charge you for the shoes. There are lockers, and really clean showers with towels and other amenities like razors and qtips.
The spin studio was a little more cramped than other spin classes I’ve been to, but really nice. The instructor was Elias, who was amazing and really hyped me up. The music was perfect, and it was easy to spin to the beat.
I honestly don’t know if I would spend $ 35 for a class, but I’m so glad I got to try it and I completely understand what all the hype is about now.

Love this location, much more spacious than some other locations. The manager Amanda is awesome and of course the workout is intense and fun. Fav instructors here are Ross D, Stevie, Drew B and Halle! Go ahead… Find your soul

Soul cycle is awesome!
It was my first time and they gave out free water bottles on each spinning thing, free shoes, nice towels, clean bathrooms + showers, super cool lockers, and everything inside is white & yellow, such happy colors :)
It’s been 2 days after my first spin class and my butt still feels abnormal from the seat though, it’s always fun to exercise this way but i’m not sure if it’s the most effective/​economical/​efficient way tbh. I mean the perks are nice but sometimes I gotta remind myself that I’m not here for all of that.

Love this location. Everyone is so nice and facility is so open and clean :)

I love Soul Cycle, and I love this location the most! The staff, the vibe, the instructors. all awesome!

OMG. This stuff is killing me. So addictive. I’m HIGH after. And have lost STUBBORN pounds. I live for the music, the lights, the neon shorts, THE SWEAT. It flies by and I am NEVER BORED. Ross D is my man.

Class is great. Staff is great. Music = c’est magnifique!
Grab some water, get your shoes, and take a class!!!

Love SoulCycle – when I need time to myself to relax, kick back and sweat my ass off I do a Soul Cycle Class. The pitch black room is amazing – The music hitting you hard is perfect! I love that you get into this zone where you just ride and the 45 mins just fly by. The music is amazing and the all the instructors are GREAT! It worth every penny spent.
Class are $ 35.00 each and shoes rental also. The first time riders are Free! So you have nothing to lose but calories!

First time soul cycler and liked it a lot. The facility is immaculate and the staff is super nice. They help you so much. The lockers are a little tight and there are only two bathroom stalls. The soul cycle studio was big and smelled good actually. The instructor was high energy and really gets you going. You can tell everyone goes there all the time. Good thing I went with a bunch of newbies. In some spots in the back, it can be hard to see the instructor so you just have to follow what other people are doing. I found it hard to hear the instructor with the loud, loud music. It’s like spinning, but you’re in a club and having fun. $ 20 for first timers!

I love SC but this is not my favorite location. The front desk staff was nice and the locker area was clean but this was not the case for the studio. The weights were all disorganized, there was visible dust all over the floor, and the studio had an unpleasant smell.
I took a class with a female instructor that featured music from BK local DJs– I don’t know if it was the unfamiliar music or something else, but it was hard to follow the beat for a few of the songs. The instructor seemed offbeat for part of the class as well. The rest of the songs were much better.
Overall, not my best SC experience. The class wasn’t bad, but it was not up to par with the classes I take in Union Square, 19^th Street, or SOHO. I like when classes «ride together» and it was hard to do for a portion of this class. I think paying $ 30+ for a class is only worth it when it is truly a body, mind, and soul workout – this just wasn’t the case for the class I took at the Williamsburg location.

EVES CLASS– all day, whenever possible, best music & great choreography!

The Burg location probably has the friendliest staff of the locations I’ve been to. It’s small, but perfectly sized, and has got that neighborhood feel. This was where my husband and I took our very first class with Karyn & when our love for SoulCycle began. Her class is fun & challenging. Her playlists are on point & her personality and energy are beyond words Basically you couldn’t get a better package. If you are a newbie, she is probably the most welcoming instructor we’ve taken — takes the time to greet you, to explain hand placements, and just shows she cares that you showed up and you’re there. These classes aren’t cheap by any means so your experience is EVERYTHING and she absolutely makes it worthwhile. We’ve also tried other great instructors here like Eve (dope playlists esp if you like Hip Hop) & Noa. But Karyn is our fave without a doubt.

My first soul cycle class was at Williamsburg with Noa and I was officially hooked. Sunday’s rockstar ride is simply amazing, from start to finish. You push yourself, sweat profusely, begin to loathe yourself a little half way through for putting yourself through this but at the end you walk out on a high. Not to mention rockstar ride is completely booked every week, usually with the same riders, so if you want to experience this ride, book early!
Williamsburg has great instructors and a down to earth vibe amongst the other riders. I’ve been to other studios, mainly Roslyn, and I didn’t feel that sense of community that soul cycle is built around, very nose in the air. Coming from Queens, I am closer to the long island studios, but I will make that trip to Brooklyn to take any of the instructors!!!

#ROGER is an amazing instructor! He will get you to push yourself so good; it’s the best kind of pain. Thank you!

I’m so happy there is finally a soul cycle in brooklyn! The instructors are amazing and I had the ride of my life. The bathroom and clean and well stocked

My 100^th Unilocal review MUST be reserved for the amazing, intensely addictive, soul centering SOUL CYCLE!
I have never experienced a spin class like this one before in my life! The class I attended was in Williamsburg and the instructor was Roger. The class was just pure amazing! Once the lights were off, the candles were on, and the music was pumping, I truly felt like I was transferred into this intense state of peace where it was just me and the bike battling for who would win or give up first (I WON!). Roger truly motivated the class and helped us to center ourselves and know that «I CAN and I WILL» (the mantra we were reciting).
I had a great experience! My friends traveled from Memphis to NYC and the top experience on their list of things to do was attend a Soul Cycle class and they were also blown away.
Soul Cycle provides bike shoes for first time riders and I suggest either getting a seat pad for the bike or butt pads for your shorts until your muscles build up endurance because the butt soreness after a 45 minute ride is just wrong in so many ways and places! I suggest signing up early to reserve a bike because the classes fill up quickly especially with popular instructors. I love that you can sign up and reserve a bike versus other spin classes that have a first come first serve policy which means you are rushing to get to the gym to get a bike!
Simply put, I LOVE SOUL CYCLE… TRY IT NOW… YES YOU READING THE REVIEW… GO AND SIGN UP NOW! Link below. :-) Thank me because I just changed your life!

Anything that gets people feeling good about themselves, motivated, and conscious of their health is a good thing.
That said, as a seasoned spin instructor and avid spinner, my first experience at Soul Cycle was interesting. As far as facility is concerned, the studio is gorgeous. A pristine white lobby greets guests followed by a sleek unisex locker room and private shower/​bathroom facilities. Bathrooms are stocked with all primping necessities from face wash, moisturizer, deodorant, razors, shower needs, and hair dryers. No locks are necessary as your locker is dependent on a code provided by you.
Class began with cyclers getting situated on their bikes. Instead of the instructor helping newbies out, a desk person did a walk through and customized each bike to the rider. However, the customizations weren’t correct as I watched my 5’11 friend cycle without her legs fully extending. As if she were riding a clown bike. No worries, I was able to help get my friends adjusted and cycling was underway.
Meanwhile, our instructor seemed like she was getting into «character». She closed her eyes and let her hips rock side to side before mounting her bike. Three pillar candles graced the platform of the instructor’s bike and as we started spinning she encouraged us to be selfish, take this time to do something good for yourself. As Skrillex began, her tiny booty grooved as she flipped her head around sexily grunting a sporadic «HAH!» every three minutes. Each time we were told to increase our resistance, it was almost as if making our ride harder was pushing our instructor closer to a climax. «Jussssssssssst turn to the right another 25 percent, uaahh HAH!» And later on… «this. is a full. time. JOBBBBBB!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!»
As we progressed the lighting of the studio changed. We pedaled in the dark, we did sprints to the changing of the lights from off to on, we pedaled by candlelight. The music was throbbing and definitely motivating. As a spinner though, the pace that the instructor was moving didn’t seem on par with the level of resistance we were supposed to be at. Pedaling at 100 – 110 RPM with a resistance equivalent to 4 – 5 360 degree turns? It was hard for me to accept that my classmates or my instructor was actually on that hard of a resistance. Giving a personal perceived level of exertion scale of 1 – 10 with a pace example would have been helpful.
At some point, our instructor reached the height of her climax, ripped her hair out of her ponytail and began headbanging on the bike. She changed position from 1 to 3 with one hand with the other in the air feeling the music. Then she popped off the bike and just danced in the studio while we rode. During this time we used free-​weights and pumped 1 – 3 pounders while our legs slowed down. Challenging, but effective?
I guess in summary, Soul Cycle was an experience. The lights, the music, and the pace was challenging and fun. The instructor was a total character who was completely entertaining — so much so that I had a hard time focusing on the workout because I was laughing so hard. But hey… at the end of the day if something like this can get you out of an emotional or physical rut, then why not?

This was the location of my very first SC class and I have to say — I was quickly hooked! The décor is clean, sleek and the staff are very welcoming. The women’s bathroom is nice and spacious, and the cycle room never gets too stuffy.
I’ve had classes with Sal, Noa and Karyn. Sal and Noa are favorites because I can keep up. Karyn is great if you’re an experienced rider, she has a great music selection.
My only peeve is that they keep switching the Monday instructors on us. Sal was a regular teacher for a short while, and Noa took the slot over for one class and now there’s a new teacher in that time slot. It makes it a little tough to get into a groove with the teachers switching out so frequently.
I’m a fan!

This is not my favorite location and I’m not a fan of the instructors I have got here, and the crowd is well… williamsburg. But if you were going to open a soulcycle in the BK this place makes the most sense.
It’s clean, it’s great, it’s mostly just like all the rest, and it helps you get your sweat on!
