Go Cycle

Go Cycle is awesome! Trainers are energetic and friendly, the bikes are great (unlike the crappy broken down and rattly ones at another local gym *cough*LA Fitness*cough*), and the music is perfect. They kick your butt, but it’s well worth it :)

This place is awesome! I love the staff and all of their new ideas and fun ways to spice up each class. I definitely recommend coming, they’ll kick your ass but you start seeing results in no time!

Best spin classes I have taken. I have been spinning for 16 years and the vibe, instructors, music and the workouts are all on point. I leave drenched each workout. I’m digging your style cycle bar!!!

I have been a Go Cycle regular for the past 6 months or so, and have loved all of the classes I’ve taken. I’m mostly there in the morning, and truly appreciate the fact that they have 5AM classes for us «early-​to-​work» folks.
I’ve taken classes with most of the instructors — Lisa, Lydia, Tracie, and Jimmy — and these are top-​notch, energetic people who can make a long spinning class seem not as bad. There’s not many places that can get me to wake up consistently at 4:30AM in the morning in order to work out for 75 – 90 minutes (I would take two classes in a row, usually), so that’s definitely saying something.
A few caveats:
— I moved recently to Detroit, and won’t be around to see how Go Cycle evolves into Cycle Bar. Thus, while the instructors will be the same and many of the classes, this is a newer version of what I’ve experienced. I think they are moving into more cycle-​centric classes, so many of the Barbell classes I took may not be available in the future.
— The class fees are a bit high — this is not a gym for people who are price sensitive.
— There’s currently no shower/​locker area for attendees. So, if you are going before work, like I did, you need to build in time to get clean somewhere. Unless, of course, you are comfortable going to work post-​workout without showering. That’s all you.

Took advantage off the first timer’s free session and it kicked my ASS! It was the 60 minute with partial cycling & partial barbell workouts. I like that no one can see your screen and that you can work at your own place. Going to a new class anywhere is intimidating and this was my first cycle class ever! The instructor was super helpful and checked up on me throughout to make sure that I was doing well. It was super encouraging and I felt completely welcome!

Last night was my first time-​free class. I thoroughly enjoyed the weighted spin class taught by Renee.

This place is amazing. If you don’t like to work out, go here. They make it fun, challenging, and addictive. There is a great team spirit during the spinning classes. I would go more often, but my only complaint is that I can’t afford it.

Love love love! All the teachers are truly amazing including the owners jimmy and lisa. If you love spinning and mixing things up definitely check them out. You can do all spin or mix it up with a little weights and spin either way it’s awesome!!!

Had a great non-​stop hour long ride!

I had never taken a spinning class prior to trying Go Cycle. Go Cycle has really gotten me into enjoying spinning as a work out. The instructors are all friendly, motivationg, helpful and have their own ~spin on how to teach which makes each work out a little different. I would suggest attending everyone’s class to get a feel for what you enjoy most. The bikes at Go Cycle are top of the line and after trying spinning on a less advanced bike elsewhere I appreciate them even more. It’s so nice to see what gear you are at, your RPMs and miles. I would definitely encourage everyone to try a class here.

It pains me to give Go Cycle anything less than 5 stars, but my decision is based entirely on the cost. I attended my first spin class here, and really enjoyed it. The bikes are top of the line (from what I hear) and the staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Unfortunately, I just don’t have the expendable income to pay $ 15 a class, especially when I already pay a monthly gym membership fee. If there were some price incentives, I’d be more inclined to sign up for some classes.

You can go at your own pace.
No one can see on your little screen how fast or hard you’re going.
It looks and sounds like a rave.
You’ll love it.
And your first class is free so there is no excuse not to go.

I took my very first spinning class at Go Cycle on Saturday morning in Royal Oak at 10:30 a.m. with Jimmy. I absolutely LOVED it. I’ve been looking to change up my workout routine, but I wanted something that would kick my butt (i’m in pretty darn good shape, if I do say so myself) while keeping my interest (i’m restricted from many activities due to a problem with my spine and a slipped disc, so I can’t have any impact). Honestly – I was not optimistic. I mean, what could be fun about riding a stationary bike for an hour? But, I promised a friend I would try it, so I did.
This was a GREAT class. Jimmy was AWESOME – very motivating while not being too preachy or in-​your-​face or worst of all, cheesy. (Actually, he was quite easy on the eyes…) Loved the black lights, dark room, sweet music, and fantastic energy. He taught a class with a nice combination of standing up on the bike and being seated, so it kept my tush from being totally bruised and my back from getting sore. I felt welcome from the moment I arrived, but not in an over-​done, superficial way. I appreciated that the instructor kept an eye on me, while not being too intrusive or calling me out.
Be sure to bring a towel and a bottle of water – you’ll need both! And, you will want to layer – the room is kept quite cool, but you’ll quickly warm up. Don’t worry about buying spinning shoes – I went in my regular running shoes and it was totally fine. However, now that I’m hooked, I’ll probably go purchase a special pair. It’s best to sign up ahead of time for a class, as many of them fill up prior.
Can’t wait to go back!

I love this place. The classes are challenging and there are people there from all levels of fitness. The bikes are nice — I took a spin class before at Lifetime and the bikes were crappy. My only complaint is that sometimes you can’t understand exactly what the instructor is saying because of the mic, but you can still get through it.

Love Go Cycle!!! I’m an intermediate spinner and prefer David and Lisa’s classes the most.
The studio is very low key which I like. I used to spin at Lifetime and you get a much better workout here at Go Cycle.
Bring your own towel, you’ll definitely need that. And sign up for classes early, they book fast!
Only critique is the music… they tend to primarily use Pop/​Dance/​Top40 type stuff. I wish so much they’d mix it up a bit with some different styles (except country… they’d lose me if they put that on). The good thing here is that Lisa always says that she’s open to new music suggestions, so maybe I just need to make a mix cd for her.

Love this place. The instructors are great and the classes are challenging. I took my free class and signed right up after. If you are looking for a great workout, take a class.

I think the studio is a nice addition to the mini gyms that are available. It is clean with a urban hipster feel. I have taken 3 classes and don’t feel intimidated at all. The teachers are friendly and encouraging. The only complaint I have is that the sound can be too loud. All the hard surfaces and speakers cranked, you could walk out with bruised ear drums!

I took a GoCycle class on Sunday, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM with Lisa VanOverbeke. The class was TOUGH but a great workout, and the studio is very cool and trendy. The instructor was super high energy and fun to listen to, and the music was awesome.
I take cycling at Lifetime, and this class was way harder than LTF’s average Cylce 60 class. However, I think for a beginner it would have been pretty intimidating.
The first class is free (yay!) but every other class is about $ 13.00, unless you sign up for their membership packages. As I already belong to a gym, I don’t think I’ll be spending extra money on top of it to go their classes on a regular basis, but I might do it every once in awhile.
