Sweat Indoor Cycling Studio

BEST Spin Studio on the North Shore…

Love Sweat Cycle in Wakefield! Clean studio with new bikes and a bright space. Friendly staff and owner. Music and ride is motivating, without being too loud as I have found at other cycling studios. Love the full body workout with the addition of weights. Hard not to get addicted.

I like spin classes… and I am man enough to admit it publicly.
I have been going to spin classes for a while know and I have gone to lots of places to partake in this fitness extravaganza. I have been to gyms like Boston Sports Clubs, to the super fancy Flywheel and the super pretentious Soul Cycle. I ended up at Sweat for a couple of reasons.
1. It was the least snotty of the places I’ve been. As a guy going to these classes, its not always to feel at ease in these types of places, but everyone here is pretty cool and more importantly they remember my name and I’m a sucker for places that remember me.
2. Its actually a pretty good value. I go with the unlimited package as I try to go 4 – 5 times a week. It’s $ 80 a month which compared to its similar types of studios (Flywheel is $ 220, Soul Cycle is $ 540 for 20 classes… ridiculous). If you do the unlimited you also get free shoe rental.
3. Great instructors usually when you have a better value you sacrifice quality but that isn’t the case here. They are all different but all good in there own ways.
4. Convenient times for classes. I take the 5:45 class usually as I like to get in and out and not worry about it for the rest of the day. But they have classes in the afternoon and evening as well.
In closing, this is great place to go if you want to get in a great work out with people who don’t care what you look like or how much money you make. And listen its not just for women any more its also for lazy middle aged men that want to rediscover the little things in life… like their toes.

I. AM. OBSESSED.
I started going to Sweat right when it opened over the summer, I loved it and went pretty consistently to Tayla’s classes on Wednesday mornings (which were great). I took a little break and started back up again last month and over just a over a month of not going they had already intensely grown their number of classes, instructors and types of classes.
I now go just about every Tuesday and Thursday morning, some random nights and today I tried my first Saturday class. Every instructor brings something totally different to the table but they are all very motivating and really encourage pushing yourself and also allow youto really control your workout. The music choices are great and I’m always sore the day after no matter what. First ride is always free to try which is an added plus and they have various packages you can buy to decrease the individual class rate.
Now that people have caught word of this place the classes fill up FAST, so make sure you sign up right when the schedule is out.

I am obsessed! I have never spun before and being a male I was slightly nervous to start. WOW I was wrong! The instructors at SWEAT were more than welcoming and eased me into this new workout. It’s exhilarating, exciting, and FUN. The place is decorated awesome and I’ve been addicted ever since my first ride which by the way, is FREE!

This has got to be the best place in the area to spin.
Beautiful brand new space, clean and bright, with brand new spin bikes. Staff clean the bike after every class (you don’t have to!) and set it up with a small pair of hand weights and a fresh towel. You can rent spin shoes if you want to clip in or try them out for the first time (if not, you can fit your sneakers in the pedal cages).
The best part of spinning is that you can make it your own ride. The instructors here are great and leading the classes and motivating you to do your best. You don’t have to do everything the instructors do. I have two bad knees and metal fused to my spine — I make each class work for me and I never feel like I’m less because of it. The music in class is great no matter what instructor you get — classes typically ride to the beat of the music so it’s easier (I think) to keep up.
And the first class is free so you can’t go wrong.

LOVE IT! Between getting a free class for your first ride and an unlimited month for $ 80 –I couldn’t be happier with my beginning experiences here! It’s a welcoming environment to all fitness levels, This place is a must try!

I just returned to spinning after a lengthy upper respiratory illness kept me out of commission for a few months. The opening of this studio happily coincided with my doctor’s green light! My goal — back to the triathlon shape I was in 5 years ago!
The studio is very pleasant visually and the young owner, Krista, has done a fantastic job of making it both inviting and modern. Bathed in hues of green, the studio is vibrant at even the most ungodly hour of 5:45 a.m. when the pre-​work crowd attends. It is equally pleasant later in the day after work when you might expect it to be stuffy on a summer afternoon.
Open for about three weeks now, classes are becoming well attended with pleasant classmates. The instructors are appropriately challenging, ranging in ages and musical tastes, and brimming with enough inspirational energy to make even the biggest couch potato sprint through the end of class. Class types also vary with some using light free weights for an arm workout during at least one song. All of the classes ask participants to fully utilize their core and engage all positions on the bike — but there is no shame piled on if you need a break or have to go a little different pace than some of the younger, fitter folk!
Shoes are available for those who don’t have their own bike shoes (they really do help!) and the staff is happy to help a newbie adjust the bike and clip in without any hint of condescension. Towels are provided and water/​sport drinks are for sale if you forget to bring your own.
So — stop reading Unilocal and GO SWEAT!
