Solocicla

I’ve recently discovered this somewhat hidden gem of a cycling studio on Cahuenga in Universal City. It has quickly become a favorite destination. The space is fresh, clean, and modern. The instructors are uniformly friendly, motivating, and engaging. The music is fun and upbeat and exactly what you need to get through a 45 or 60 minute ride. The rates (by month or by class package) are also very reasonable, lower than rival studios, and there is often a deal to be had, so be on the lookout! I look forward to spinning there as often as I can.

Great place to go if you are new to spinning and don’t want too hard of a workout, I took from monika and after her class I overheard an overweight inexperienced rider say «glad that wasn’t too hard» it’s a nice studio with shwinn bikes and free shoe rentals however the classes aren’t that challenging if you’re a seasoned spinner I’d say stick to soul cycle or cycle house

I’ve been spinning over 11 years now, first in the San Francisco Bay Area, now in Los Angeles. I started at BeatBike when I was living in Encino and then I moved to Studio City. I tried many studios and was losing hope that I’d find a great spinning workout near my home.
Luckily I found Solocicla, the studio is on the small side, but the facilities are very nice/​modern the desk staff very welcoming and their instructors are among the best I’ve ever had. I’ve had the pleasure of taking Cara, Erica, Monika and Christian’s class and they make every workout enjoyable while also pushing us to our limits. Solocicla is the perfect combination of great people, hard workout and enjoyable overall experience.

I discovered this place as a ClassPass user and loved my experience there so much that I found myself not wanting to work out anywhere else so I cancelled ClassPass and just buy classes here. Monika taught the first class I took here and she is, in a word, AMAZING! I had only taken one spin class before and she taught me so much about proper form in that first class just by casually explaining how my body should move, feel and look while on the bike. She is super encouraging and energetic, but not in an annoying workout instructor kind of way. Her music choices are always the best. I personally don’t get hyped on the typical dance music that most instructors play, so when she was playing the kind of stuff that I like to listen to anyway, it was super easy to get lost in the music. And, for me, that’s really important! I don’t want to feel like I’m working out, I want to get lost in music so that I can get out of my head and push myself. That’s exactly how Monika works her classes — she makes it your job to get out of your head and «dance» on your bike to the beat of the music. It’s so much fun! Every class feels like a spiritual journey and I always walk away dripping with sweat and ready to face the day. I’ve told everyone I know to take Monika’s class and you should too! As for the rest of the studio, it’s beautiful and modern and the staff is super friendly. I LOVE that there is free shoe rentals, water for filling your own bottles, towels and lockers. Makes for a super great experience all around.

I’ve been coming here for a few months through ClassPass and it’s quickly become one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE places to work out!
The studio is clean and modern, and the free shoe rentals, lockers, and towels are an obvious plus. They don’t validate parking for the lot across the street anymore but there are always plenty of meters available and I think Oakshire has free 2hr parking.
The instructors and staff are so welcoming and motivating! I didn’t vibe well with Christina but that’s more of a personal preference (if you want a no nonsense class with just the occasional «Go! Go!» she’s your gal!). CARA has amazing energy, and her class will kick your butt! And MONIKA’s class takes. me. to. church. I leave a stronger, sweatier, more confident, better version of myself every time!

Love this place! Used a groupon for my first class yesterday. The music is amazing, it very clean. Their full price classes are cheaper than anyone else! I can’t wait to sign up and come every week.
So I have been coming for a 2 months now, I lost 12 pounds! MONICA’s class is one of my favorite class! She is upbeat, gets to know all people in the class and rides to a variety of music from slow beat so you can burn your quads on a heel to fast paced so you can make your bike smoke with speed. I like a variety so I don’t get bored and she is it! Plus her energy is the S**T!!!
Christian’s class is a blessing to my Glutes. In both classes with Either one of them, get ready to sweat A LOOOOOT to awesome music, don’t feel self conscience, EVERYONE comes outs looking the same: DRENCHED! By the time you are done you will feel so freaking good!

I’ve only attended a few classes here so far, but it’s been a consistently awesome, if not slightly masochistic, experience. I was new to spinning and the girls at Solocicla are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The classes are tough, but that’s how our bodies change! I particularly love Monika’s motivating & inspiring instruction style. This is a great place to get your sweat on if you’re prepared to be challenged, regardless of your fitness level.

I’ve been a gym rat most of my life, but i never really got into spinning… until now! The atmosphere is that of a club, with pumping dance music, and disco style lighting. The classes are so much fun that the major calorie burn is less of a chore, and more of party. Love the staff and instructors, they are all so fun, nice, and super motivational. Solocicla is ADDICTIVE! !!

Absolutely AWESOME!!! I had never done a spinning class before and after trying this place, I realized how fun, energetic, and exciting spinning could be. All the instructions are excellent. Love them all. They are extremely friendly and will motivate you til the end each workout. I am Latin, so if you are looking for a little Latin moves take Christina ‘s class. She is full of energy and will work you out tremendously. Overall, I love this place. It’s clean and full of positive vibes. You walk out of every workout renewed and revived.

Great gym! Karla at the front desk made me feel welcome and greeted me with a smile even though I was running late. I loved that the shoes were free. The class taught by Adam (friendly and informative!) was great! Lots of yelling and colorful lights. Definitely coming again and leaving myself parking time though. Friendly staff and GREAT instructors!

Got introduced to Solocicla through Classpass and I am so happy I did! What a beautiful and clean studio with so many great amenities. On top of that, the instructor, Erica, was so encouraging and incredibly nice on top of kicking our asses in class! We all got a quote handed by Erica at the end of the class which was so inspiring. pinned it in my office. As classpass slowly starts hiking up their prices, I’m definitely switching to coming here regularly. Top notch studio!

This place is amazing. I’ve never been to a cycling class and I got hooked from the first class. The instructors, the owner, and the girls in the front are all so sweet. It is such a good workout and the times flies by! I would definitely recommend trying a class here.

I can’t rave enough about this place, I’ve been coming her for almost 2 months and the experience has been first class and friendly every single time.
The girls at the front desk are beyond nice and bend over backwards to make your experience a good one, the shoes and towels are included every time and I’ve even come out of class to mimosas and food waiting for us for free! You can tell they really do care about your experience here!

I always wondered why would people sign up in a place for just cycling classes, well, this place gave me the answer! Not just spinning is a great workout, their equipment is high quality, they do take care of the maintenance of the bikes so it feels very responsive to the workout. I just have take classes with Christian and it is a great class, I feel very connected and he is motivational and helpful. The place it self is pretty, well decorated and it just get you in the vibe of getting healthy and treating well your body. I had the opportunity to talk with the owner and got why this place has such a good vibe for me, she seems very compromised to offer a high quality service, and she is doing it.
There’s one hour free parking in front! That’s pretty helpful.

Came here on a Monday night for the beginners LexTWERKout class! My friend found out about it and we had to make an account online and signed up for the day we wanted for $ 20. The site def sucked, it didn’t have much info. no contact info for questions. (Different site from the gym) We didn’t know whether men were allowed or not. Apparently they are as long as they’re participating. I didn’t even know it was a beginners class, thankfully that worked out! They did mention that they rent out knee pads for $ 3 and free parking across the street. They also did not say that walk-​ins are welcome. I’m kind of disappointed they allowed that though. it got way too crowded! Especially for the tiny room. I was really excited for and expecting only 15 people in the class bc that was the limit for spots online.
But for the class, AMAZING! I’m addicted. I don’t have much going on for me back there and can’t twerk, but had so much fun nonetheless. I was expecting Lexy Panterra, but don’t care bc I liked our instructor anyways. She didn’t introduce herself though so I don’t know her name but they posted our group pic on insta, so I def know what she looks like. Love watching her twerk! It was also a great workout, your thighs burn mang. And I was dripping sweat! (down my balls) but probably more bc of the crowd & it was hot up in there! It wasn’t geared toward actual instruction on how to improve your butt popping skills or individual attention. But she would show us a move and we just copy (I def didn’t look the same). then would show us a set of moves to do or a circuit. So fun. At the end people can go up in groups and get recorded if they wanted, nice way to see how you’re doing. The music def set the club mood. It would get pricey though if I wanted to come on the reg. but I am definitely planning on going again, just not as often as I’d like. I recommend this class to everyone!

Brand new spin studio in Studio City I found on ClassPass. I came for my first class today & I had a good experience.
The studio is easy to find, offers free parking across the street, & complimentary towels & weights. Their bikes were amazing to work out with – very smooth ride and easy to maneuver. I also loved the black & white contemporary décor of the studio (think a smaller version of BeatBike).
The cycling room itself is one the smaller side of the other studios I’ve been to which is nice, I’d say it fits 25 – 30 people max. There was also an excellent sound system so you could zone out to the music.
I’m giving this place 4 stars only because as any new business, there are some things that they could work on as the studio grows. Mainly, I think the stretching segment toward the end of class was a bit too long for my taste and their riding method could be a bit more rigorous. Don’t expect the same max workout like CycleHouse or BeatBike, however you will break a sweat so it’s worth at least one try. I love that their method is similar to CycleHouse or BeatBike that you’re mainly up and off the bike (Flywheel’s method is on the bike most of the time and that’s lame), however they could stress more coordination and variation with the movements and tougher resistance.
The main thing that’s really making me want to come back is the manager – she was very attentive, asked for my feedback, and I could tell she genuinely cared about what people thought of the class and facility. All they need is some media press and some more time to get settled and this could totally be a hit!

I’ve been spinning for a while and I can be picky about the facility and instructors. With that said I’m really enjoying Solocicla.
Here is why;
1. The instructors are great. I want to say I’ve taken almost all of them and have enjoyed all of their classes. I attend Elady Cruz’s classes the most. Her classes are challenging, but her music selection is always a lot of fun and she’s a great motivator!
2. Facility is brand new and clean. All of their bikes are brand new, they also offer clean/​new spin shoes, clean towels and even water.
3. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

I’m so glad this studio just opened right around the corner from my house! Solocicla has rekindled my love for spin. The studio is brand new and super clean and everyone that works there is really friendly. They have towels and electronic lockers so you don’t have to bring a lock, and a really clean water refill station. All of the instructors I’ve met have been really bad ass and welcoming to a newcomer (relative, I hadn’t taken spin class in almost 10 years) like me. They provide shoes with clips so you don’t need to bring your own ;)
The owner, Jacklyn, is awesome. I can tell she really loves her studio and clients and takes pride in giving everyone a really good experience. I definitely recommend Solocicla!

I’m hooked. It is a beautiful studio with a very charismatic and sweet owner. The people working there are attentive and the class I took with Christian was very motivational. I felt like a champ after class!
The studio is neat, clean and minimalist. They have an upstairs dance studio. They have a massage room, lockers, complimentary water, towels and shoes! What more do you want? All you have to do is get your tushie out here .
It’s fairly new and they are continuously improving the place. You can bet your bottom dollar it’s only going to get better!

This is definitely a new addition to my ClassPass rotation. I’ve been to two classes at SoloCicla so far. Right off the bat, they have free parking across the street, which is a major plus. You walk in, and it’s a beautiful new studio. Staff at the front desk and the instructors are very welcoming. There are free lockers and spin shoes. There are motivating words plastered all over the bathroom. Cold filtered water to fill up your bottle before and after class.
The classes run 45 minutes, they include hills, jump, tap backs, arms and stretching. I’ve been to classes with Stacy and Paris, and they’re both very motivating. I liked that Stacy asked everyone’s name and encouraged conversation. We even sang some karaōke during the class. After leaving class, I already wanted to book another one for the next day.
The studio is a bit hot, and not much air circulation, but I’ve been able to deal with it.
I’m not sure how much classes run since I use the studio through ClassPass, but I think the first class is free.
