CycleCross

I love this studio! Everyone there is very nice and kind. I walked in one day and was able to take a class. I did not know that spots were so limited, but they were very accommodating. I signed up for a Groupon. Their rates are very reasonable, with or without the Groupon. The classes are great and it’s a fantastic workout. I can’t wait to take another class!

A great groupon deal brought me to this place. It’s a small, cute studio.
Pros: lots of space to change and store your belongings
— nice big screen with changing scenery
— parking in street and lot
— good instructors so far that I’ve tried and had good workouts
— many times slots available so you can always get a workout in
— complementary towels
Cons:
— I always have trouble getting my cycle shoes to clip in. I don’t know what is with their pedals but it is very frustrating. I spin at 4 other places and I have never had any issues like I do here.
— the music is terrible and doesn’t seem to correlate with the the speed of your pedaling
— the seat height adjusting handle is always in the way no matter where I put it and I always hit my leg on it
If you want to avoid big gyms then this is the place for you! No fuss, convenient and affordable.

It’s been just about a year since I started spinning at Cycle Cross. I have to say it has been the best and most fun workout I have ever stayed with. It is never boring and always different. The owners, Patty and Sherry are the best. They are always making sure everything is in tip top shape. I have never had a bad instructor. Every one has a different style and I enjoy trying each of them. Signing up for classes online is quick and easy. You can’t go wrong giving it a try — your first class is always free!

I hate working out, y’all. Former member of several gyms I paid for but never actually attended. This is different. First, it’s fun! Second, you sign up for each class — so you HAVE to go. Third, no worries if you can’t quite keep up — set your own goals. Been at it for a month and a half — already dropped one pant size. Love this place!

LOVE this spin studio. I bought a 10-​class Groupon while I was home for winter break and am so sad to leave. This studio has all the features I love in a spin class (loud music, lights off, a tough and varied workout) and much more. I like the huge screen for some visual diversion from the intensity of the workout and the small class size. It’s a cool space with great instructors who all have a different style. Sherry is all about sprints, Lisa is so fun and energetic, and Jen and Angela play zero games and will plain kick your ass into shape. The clientele is very friendly and diverse in age and fitness level. I can’t wait to finish my last semester and get back here!

Just perfect full body workout and great ambience. I highly recommend it if you are looking for an hour or so sweat!!! :)

The teachers are great. This class will make you sweat! It keeps you moving without getting bored. Plus they have an awesome teacher discount.

Boy am I in love with this place. So I got a Groupon for 20 classes and they have been kicking my behind into shape with some rocking music, great videos and high energy coaches. Haven’t tried all of them, but Patti and Lisa are great. Lisa has so much energy she will get the last drop out of you and make you do more than you thought you could. Bikes are in great shape and the whole place has a simple ‘get it done’ feel to it. One thought for the video screen: I never thought how well it would work for you to have a screen with a bike ride playing. However, it actually takes your mind off the intensity of the exercise and the pain you are feeling and more than once I found myself leaning as the biker in the video leaned ha! So the concept works very well for me. I can’t comment on the monthly fees but like with any studio, if you are consistent it’s worth it…

I had been looking for a spin studio for a bit and decided to try this place out when I saw that there was a Groupon for it added. After navigating the website and talking with one of the owners, I decided to try a virtual class and I am happy I did.
The studio:
Is a bit small, holding only 13 bikes. However, it is extremely well put together. It has the feel of a Cross Fit «box» more than a tradtional spin studio (concrete floors, loft set up/​open concept, etc.), which I personally loved. The bikes are brand new and absolutely gorgeous. There is some street parking but also a parking lot in the back. I cannot imagine that parking would ever be an issue here. Everyone gets a towel, there are cubby holes for your belongings, and the bikes are clean.
The program:
The biggest selling point for me was that some of the classes do not feature instructors, though the studio does offer traditional classes with instructors as well. I enjoy instructors but have found some of them to be intimidating/​have bad music/​run boring classes, etc. The idea of a virtual instructor therefore appealed to me because I can make the class my own. The way the program is set up, I can bring in my own music and work my own class to the guidelines set up by the virtual instructor – I liked that. I did doubt the effectiveness of the workout, however, per my HRM, I burned 884 calories in a 55 minute class and was able to max my heart rate at 80+%. Good stuff!
The staff:
I met one of the owners and found her to be extremely polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. She knew a lot about her product and a lot about the needs/​wants of her clientele, which is always nice. It’s refreshing to see an owner in tune with her patrons. This is also privately owned and in that respect, I feel good about attending this studio vs. attending a class at a chain gym. I hope that this spin studio sticks around and truly wish it great success. I recommend that everyone at least try it out. I anticipate attending beyond the classes purchased with my Groupon!
