Cycleup

I really love being able to pick my class reserve my bike and the computerized data that encourages us to keep up in the classes. I’m a Wendell fan, he motivates us and has great music! I met the owner today he fixed my bike strap before class so fast it was like nascar pit stop. Such a nice person and I love the bananas.

This was the first cycling studio I ever went to in LA County. It is close to my current home and for that reason I have been back to it multiple times since.
I signed up for it using my Class Pass app and I was, admittedly, nervous about a legit cycling class. I had taken a few spin classes in college at the campus gym but it was never very intense and since it was just a one-​off fitness class taught by the same instructors who taught Zumba and kickboxing, it wasn’t very intimidating. I had seen videos of «legit» cycling classes and knew I was in for a bit more of a challenge.
I arrived early and felt very out of place. Everyone in Santa Clarita seems to know each other. In every fitness class I have taken up in the SC, it seems everyone is friends. On top of the familiarity, there are a lot of REAL cyclists that take classes here. These people also seem to take back to back classes. Most people seemed to be in great shape, too. So, yeah, I knew I was in for something that would kick my butt.
Holy crapola, I was definitely challenged. This studio has screens in the front that show each person’s stats in real time. I was at or near the bottom the entire class. The person that I was fighting against was the mother of a younger guy who was also at the studio for the first time. That basically means that I was at the bottom the entire time.
Part of me really liked the real-​time stat updates. It can definitely give you something to strive for. At the same time I felt like it was discouraging. I felt like I was peddling so hard and so fast and I was sweating like crazy but I wasn’t gaining on anyone and by the end of class I was about 600 kj below the top person. This class uses «energy expended» as the main competitive measure. I only expended about 200 kilojoules in my first class. Ugh. That is terrible. Granted, I had just bought my Class Pass and had just started a fitness routine again after two months of being very sedentary.
I have since gone to this location many times and while I still don’t completely like the highly competitive atmosphere and the cliquey feel of this place, it is close to home and I have learned to use the stat updates to my advantage and stop worrying about being the best. I am naturally competitive so this is hard for me but I am managing.
Now I just try to «pass» the next person above me. If I pass that person, I try to pass the next person. And so on. I don’t worry about anyone more than one spot above me. Sure, I glance at their stats but I don’t stress about it. Through this method I have learned where my strengths lie and I can use that to my advantage to gain some ground during certain parts of class. Because of this, the class has started to feel a bit more like a road race which could be why there are real cyclists in here all the time. It keeps them focused on overcoming challengers.
I have also come to realize that a male cycling enthusiast who has been doing this for years is definitely going to expend more energy than a female cycling newbie who is still learning all the mechanics of the «sport».
I am also proud to note that I consistently get above a 600 energy expenditure each class. Not too shabby for only a month of attending 3 – 4 times a week at various cycling studios. I now use this studio as a gauge of my progress since they send a «performance summary» to my email after each class.

I have been going to cycle up since February and let me just say, I LOVE IT! I look forward to working out here. I did the weigh down challenge and ended up joining as a monthly unlimited member. All of the instructors are very very fun, friendly, and genuine to every single person that steps foot into their class. So happy to have found this cycle gym.

You had me at 2 free sessions! Perfect way to introduce yourself to the pace of this workout. I certainly got a wake up call when I went for my first class, but that just amps me up to keep going. It really is a great workout at 45mins (the Cycleup session).
Staff is amazing! The girls at the front were so friendly and helpful when it came to helping out a newcomer, made the experience that much better.
Will definitely be back to incorporate this into my fitness routine!
P. s. They offer a Free banana before class. So thoughtful!

This place is 5 stars!!! From the friendly, informative staff, the aesthetics, the equipment, and most especially the instructors! My favorites are Michele and Meredith! Inspiring, motivational and they teach from the heart. I highly recommend Cycle Up to anyone looking for a great ride!

I visited Cycleup when my Schwinn certification class was canceled at a location MUCH closer to home. I can’t say I’d ever be in this area as I live no where nearby yet found myself here for 9 hours this past Sunday. Which is PLENTY enough time to leave a review on the studio, some staff but not any of their instructors as my ride was with a Schwinn Master Trainer who does not work at this studio.
10A Sunday — parking lot was nuts! I did score a spot after circling around. The staff at the counter were friendly when I arrived and let me know the training would begin shortly and the room was being cleaned from their last class.
Lots of bikes, clean studio, appeared to offer towel service, two restrooms, changing rooms, filtered water system, fruit basket, and plenty of coded lockers.
I’m use to cycling at Soul Cycle and Flywheel (LA based spots) with much different bikes. The Schwinn bikes here felt a bit old fashioned to me and more in line with what you’ll find inside a Group Fitness class at a gym, although they are top of the Schwinn’s. Reading the console in the dark isn’t easy. You need to click the light button if you want to view your stats during your ride or if you’re prompted to.
I’m not familiar with the area or other indoor cycling options in the area but did hear positive feedback from a few people in my training who have been here before.
Check them out! You may enjoy the snazzy light show.

I’ve been coming here for a few months now and I LOVE IT! I equipment and facility are top notch without losing that uniqueness of something like a boutique cycle spa. Wire baskets filled with fresh apples & bananas, by and deionized water fountain are free and in the open locker waiting area surrounded by floor to ceiling glass windows. The staff are attentive and helpful especially when it’s your first time. Sign in from your home computer and apps ensure you can can ride in your favorite spot in class. Flat screens in the class keep you on point with your workout pushing you to the next level as well as the motivating inspectors. The patrons as also very nice one day I exited class a few minutes early and as I was passing by the bike women next to me said, «Have a good day.» Only complaint would be the music. It’s usually not my style for example; It’s too Country or too 80’s alternative or their 15 years olds Top Ten but, Its good that I listen to something other than Rap, Motown, Blues & Golden Oldies.

I’m in love with Cycleup. Been wanting to spin for about a year now but too intimidated by all the fit folks who frequent this place. I finally found the courage to walk in and take my first class and WOW the experience was fantastic. The 2 free classes offered for newbies is such a great incentive and gave me the extra boost to reserve my spot. I read the reviews and seeing that the clients felt «safe» without judgment was so comforting. I felt at ease and I entered the cycling world with the support of my adjacent riders.
Once I walked in, I was immediately greeted, checked in and given a tour. Zoey the lady who happened to be managing the front desk got me situated on my bike, gave me the safety 411 and adjusted my seat and handle bars making sure I was ready to go. She schooled me on the equipment very well.
Once inside the spinning room, the rows of bikes stare right at you and it can seem intimidating. The lights are low and dim so you and your bike are one and that definitely is calming. The Instructors are very motivating yet mindful of your personal pace. I loved that you can see your digital progress projected on the screen in front of you all identified by your number. So unless you’re counting heads in there, it was a nice way to push yourself or pace yourself depending on your needs. Of course there are the competitive athletes dominating the leader board but all in good motivation and inspiration. The bikes give you the option of monitoring your heart rate and adjusting your level of resistance.
There is no membership and it is a pay per class or bundle of classes at a discounted price. So the commitment and accountability really is up to you. The great part of it is that you can purchase them in person or at the convenience of your own home as well as reserve your spot and bike number/​location in the studio. Now that is so awesome! I’m so ready to add cycling to my «Fit is the new It» health transformation. So if you haven’t tried cycling yet, get your 2 free complimentary classes. What do you have to lose but sweat! ;)

I love this place. I pay for the unlimited rides per month and I enjoy getting in for my dose of ass kicking and leaving drenched in sweat. It’s great being able to sign up for classes and picking your bike online. No need to arrive 30 mins early to fight crazy ppl for bikes. It’s convenient and a great workout!

so, now I’ve completed like 5 classes. I must say– it kicks my butt every time. The staff here is mostly awesome, different techniques to help guide us. So that is something you can avoid or seek. The clientele that comes here is equally as nice. Everyone is very helpful and welcoming which was excellent for me, a dude with very little cardio stamina.
UPDATE: sad to probably never visit this place since I will be moving into the city. After 20+ classes, I really have enjoyed it. They have theme nights. In the summer they have a DJ… earlier in the week they had breast cancer awareness night where for each member they donated some money to research while we all wore pink, and today was Oktoberfest. TOTES Awesome!
On a separate note– they have screens at the front of the class to show you your rank in class. Which is totes awesome if you like that competitive feel. I do, that’s why I keep coming back– maybe soon I’ll be closer to the top than halfway up. :-(
I highly recommend this place

Outstanding place, outstanding customer service and outstanding workout!
I can’t say enough about this place. I have been there twice on the 2 complimentary ride offer they have on their website. The first time I walked through the door they greeted me by name and gave me a personal tour as well as customization of my bike. During both visits the instructors have been extremely helpful and supportive of my being a newbie. Never made me feel bad or an outsider. Already purchased a 5 pack but this could easily become a wonderful habit!
Thank you Cycle Up for offering an excellent workout!

Wish I would have known about this place sooner. The workout is amazing and fun. The prices are good and worth it. My whole boys was sore after my 1^st class. Definitely advise taking a class if you are bored of the gym and interested in an intense workout. And it’s very clean

I’ve been trying different gyms and different types of workouts to find a good fit that will help switch up my workout routine. I was disappointed by many in the SCV, but Cycleup definitely exceeded my expectations! First of all, it’s a great workout! Second, all three instructors I have taken class with are awesome. They all have their own style, but I love classes with all three. The staff is super friendly and helpful if you have questions. They make an effort to talk to you and check in with you when you’re new. It’s a clean facility with everything you’d need for a good workout.

There’s no place like it. The owners and front staff are incredible and don’t even get me started on the instructors! Everyone is so kind and accommodating. No judgement but they push you to your best at the same time! I recently bought a package of rides but quickly flew threw that and upgraded to an unlimited membership. I can’t wait to go back and I feel like a million bucks each time I leave.
You won’t be sorry if you try it out. I highly recommend Meredith, Heather and Wendall’s classes (the other instructors are amaze balls I’m sure, I just haven’t taken their classes yet)!

I’ve never taken a cycle class before and I am hooked!
I love that you can reserve your specific bike. They have fresh fruit, yummy chilled filtered water, and the place is so clean! Everyone, even the students, are so friendly!
I also love that they email you your stats after class!

It is refreshing to find a fitness studio that welcomes everyone.
The bikes are INCREDIBLE. The studio is clean and friendly. The workout is top-​notch. I got a GREAT workout and I had FUN!!!
The instructor did a great job of pushing me through my workout but also encouraged the new riders to go at their own pace. It was so nice to see EVERYONE having a great time.
Such a cool studio. Such a cool vibe.
LOVE the bikes.
LOVE the instructors.
LOVELOVELOVE CycleUP.
5 Stars from me. I’ll be back, for sure!!!

Started coming here last month and have fell in love it. Not a typical fitness person by nature and don’t do «clubs» but this is fun and meets all levels, including mine. A great place to burn hundreds of calories in 45 minutes. The instructors are knowledgeable and really get you motivated to push yourself.

This is indoor cycling at its BEST!
Awesome workout with super motivating instructors. I’ve taken class with Janet, Heather D. and Wendell and all are amazing.
The staff that work the front desk are also very helpful. The place is clean, modern and has a vibe unlike any other spin class in the valley.
Another reason they get 5-​stars is their website and ease of class signup. You can do everything online or on your phone. AND you can see your stats through your online profile too, how cool is that!
I also love that they have intro classes, even though their regular classes are totally inclusive to all riders!

Went to check out this great indoor bike place. the staff are top guns of the fitness business. As of now since they opened you can get 2 sessions for free just for registering on the site. You can book your time and your lesson and the bike all from home and it is done. Now all I have to do is get someone to ride for me. lol
They also honor the 25Score card.

This will be a great place to get a break from those of us who cycle outdoors in the hot summer sun. Still working the legs, cardio & burning some calories.
Instructors are motivational, knowledgeable, attentive & friendly.
The facility is a very clean & tidy place with lockers, changing rooms & restrooms available. Bikes are easy to pay and reserve online with various schedules to choose from.
I look forward to returning to this studio every now & then to get away from the extreme hot days & get a high intensity work out.
Thank you Cycleup studio.
