RIDE Cycling Studio

Love that classpass offers some classes in the burbs!
They offer your first class free, make sure to snag that before using up your classpass classes! They definitely don’t offer all of their spots on classpass so sign up early.
The studio is an awesome set up. Theres a large changing room (with hair bands, deodorant, bathroom, shower, cubbies, etc). They provide towels, seat cushions, and shoes. I always got there like 2 mins before the class so I didn’t take any. If you want to rent any of these, make sure to go a little early. Clip ins are always a major plus if you want a better workout.
This 1 hour class really is a full hour of work. I don’t love the bikes, I wish they had monitors to read the resistance, distance, and RPM. The instructors are really great. They’re super motivational and make sure to correct technique throughout the class. I’m usually not a fan of the flywheel/​soul cycle style in a spin class (hand weights), but RIDE really knows what they’re doing. Instead of ignoring legs and throwing in some arm exercises, resistance turns up during the arm portion and the exercises are actually a struggle. They offer a lot of different weight sizes. They also throw a lot of ab circuits in there in ways I wouldn’t have thought of.
The room is glowing from start to finish (literally, its black lit). Music is great. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in the burbs.

I come here once a week, via ClassPass. I love Lisa and Jillians classes. I wish that they were available on ClassPass closer to class start time – you can’t make reservations within 24 hours as the studio disappears off the app the day before classes – other studios allow you to sign up until an hour beforehand and I wish Ride did this as well. They provide towels and shoes but if you spin a lot I’d suggest investing in your own shoes because the ones they provide are old and not clean. I wish the bikes had updated capabilities as well: RPMS, etc. to show you how hard you’re really working. Other than that its the best spin option in this part of the suburbs. Friendly people and instructors.
OH and they never answer the phone and the mailbox is always full. Don’t bother calling.

Amazing spin studio. I’ve only been to 3 – 4 classes so far, but they have all been very challenging and the teachers are top notch. They provide towels, seat cushions and anything else you may need for class. The only thing you must bring is a strong work ethic. You will definitely utilize it here. Highly recommended.

This place is not for the faint of heart. It’s an hour long class and you work pretty much the entire time. I wanted to die throughout the whole process — but it was a good workout. The instructor was engaged with the class the entire time. Cycling isn’t really for me, but I had a good workout. If you’re into cardio or want a good workout, head on over.

This is a great little studio! It’s a little easy to miss in the little strip mall where its located, but once you get inside and hear the music pumping, you know you’re in the right place.
The have Spinner brand bikes that seem well-​maintained and they offer loaner shoes which is great! I think everyone should use clips for indoor classes — especially for speed work and climbing. Everything was very clean and everyone wiped down their bikes after the ride :-)
Instructor Claire was super high energy and fun, in spite of the fact that she was teaching back-​to-​back classes and we were her second group on a Sunday morning. Good music and good cuing from Claire. The front-​desk person was also very nice as were all the women (and I think 2 guys) in the class.
My only caution/​reservation is that there were several drills using small hand weights for upper body work like shoulder presses and flies. There was also a drill in which we were asked to put our hands behind our backs and pedal heavy. I tried all of these drills and had no problems but I know that a lot of Spinning purists and others are against this «Soul Cycle» style of training. I probably wouldn’t do it if I were teaching but I think it’s fine for more experienced riders. And if you want to opt out, go ahead and feel comfortable making the ride your own.
I’d highly recommend this studio!

Love this place! Great friendly instructors who really push you in class. I really like how each instructor has their own type of music to play during class. Best part is the price, they almost always have pricing specials which can get you a class as cheap as $ 5 – 6. Can’t beat that !

Awesome Spin studio!!! Instructors are great and each one has their own style of motivating you! Studio itself is very clean! I would encourage all workout levels to come try out a class. Typically I’m not a big fan of group classes but this environment makes you feel welcome with no pressure which I love! Workouts can be as challenging as you like! Love this place!!!

What an amazing studio! Not being a fan of conventional gyms, I love coming here to get a single most effective body workout. Studio is inviting and cozy. Extremely clean, organized and minimalistic. Font desk staff is very accommodating, professional and friendly. The changing area in the back has a bathroom and a shower. Fresh towels are readily available. There is a wall of cupboards that one can leave their keys and shoes in. There is even a jar of ponytail elastics, which I am sure every girl can appreciate! Cycling shoes are available at no charge in all sizes and are a big help! Gel seat covers that have a saddle cushion pad are also available, which is definitely a big help for someone like me, trying spin for the first time. The cycling studio itself is open and has great décor with one wall spanning a photograph of an open road and a mirror on the opposite wall. Motivational writing is on another wall. What I love the most about RIDE and what keeps bringing me back time after time is its energetic, motivational and professional instructors. I had a pleasure of taking a class with a few and loved the energy and organization they brought to the class. I stuck with Claire for the 6 am Wednesday and Friday classes. She really wakes me up with her upbeat attitude even this early in the morning. Not to mention her music choices rock! I know RIDE also offers yoga, it’s on my list to try.
I highly recommend anyone trying spin and this studio in particular. I am not an overly athletic person and was very intimidated at first. I was encouraged to try and made feel welcomed by owner Kristy. RIDE even offers a free first session as well as other deals and special as well as an occasional Groupon deal.
