Great work out and interval training. I seem to sweat more in a 45 min class at CycleBar than I do in a 4-5 hour 60-70 mile road bike ride. Nice to be able to do this outdoor (courtyard) at least in the Berkeley location during the pandemic and lockdown. Frequent classes with good availability at least in weekdays when I do this. Good user friendly app to sign up for classes, review ctivity stats, etc. Some of the bikes are a bit beat and dont record data well. A couple of my activities didnt get recorded (maybe due to incomplete check in) and the stats in some are way off.

I literally went there ONCE and I was told I was paying one price and got charged another without being notified. I was also charged on an incorrect day AND it took 10 days for there computer system to simply honor my credentials to sign up for rides in the beginning!! I went in there to cancel. Of course, you cant cancel without giving 30 days notice (I gave them 25, apparently it wasnt enough for them) so they can charge you again. Im supposed to know more than a month before that I want to cancel?? So, I paid over $200 for one ride there and they tried to explain to me how the error was mine. I organize many outdoor activities in the Bay Area and am well connected with many groups and gyms. This may have been my worst experience. I know customer service and this was not it. I RARELY post these sorts of posts but this place, deserves it. HORRIBLE service. Wont be the last they here from me and Im not the first person Ive heard them do this too.

Ive gone here for over a dozen lessons or whatever you wanna call them. They do a really good job and the whole place is very nice and they even have cold water and towels. The only problem if you ask me is that the music is too loud sometimes.

Expensive but damn is it fun! Just gotta cut back on buying lunch to afford this every month... But for me its totally worth it. I love the little class themes they hold sometimes like Taylor Swift v Carrie Underwood or East Coast v West Coast. I definitely have a great sweat session Everytime I go!

This is a 5* review for Vicki - she is a fabulous instructor, always brings so much energy to her class (never waivers!). Her classes are well planned and she empowers you to do your best. A strong, powerful woman who inspires me! THANK YOU VICKI!

Cyclebar Berkeley is amazing! The instructors are strong and kind, the front desk staff is so helpful, and the high fives and encouragement always feels good. There was a deal at the start of the year for the unlimited monthly plan and this has been the only place I consistently go 3x a week and still have so much fun.All the instructors are fabulous, but my favorite is Sarah (biggest fan!) especially her Sunday Brunch classes. Sarahs classes are really challenging, but her fun and positive energy balance the difficulty. She also did a playlist for my birthday, welcomed all my friends who came out for the ride and was so sweet. I prefer hip hop music, so appreciate Taylor, Zen and Mindys classes. Vickis classes are awesome too, she has great energy. Come take a spin!

Disrespectful and not conscious of the noise making for the community with their outdoor music and classes.

Each teacher gives you a different workout and I come out of every class dripping sweat.

Fun way to exercise. The instructors are enthusiastic and equipment and space first class. Only drawback is cost. But you get what you pay for.

Great cycling studio in Berkeley. The concept is similar to Soul Cycle. Their bikes are quite advanced. You can see the data from your ride afterwards: how many calories, rpm, distance, etc. They also give you free water bottles, bananas and can lend you shoes for the bike.

Came back to visit Berkeley (where I grew up) for the holidays and came to CycleBar for its convenience (I have to admit I am a Flywheel girl usually) but stayed for the atmosphere, awesome and welcoming staff, and ideal location. Love Sandi and Danielle both for their workouts and playlists! Will absolutely be back during my next visit and out in Boston, too!

I REFUSE TO GO HERE. I WAS planning on checking it out. I signed up via instagram for info and they have texted, called and even VOICE MAILED me EVERY SINGLE DAY(except for Sat and Sunday) SINCE I SIGNED UP FOR INFO!!!!! WHAT THE ...?????? I get sales and I get following up w future clients BUT this is borderline harassment. Find new methods to get clients! You lost a potential due to these horrible “sales techniques”.

Very bad first time experience, I was turned away because I didnt arrive 15 mins before class. I wasnt being refunded as well. I never got an email from them on what to expect on the first class.

No free parking around, there is parking few blocks away but you have to pay. You check in on tablets, grab your shoes, get a locker. Nice studio, loud music, dark, lights. The girls on front desk are sometimes helpful but sometimes makes you feel like if they really explain well and sometimes you cant understand what they are saying because they skip parts. I saw that not everyone who is new at the place has common sense and need more patience to understand what a first class mean, what a new place and concept is. So girls from the front desk... be more patient, not everything is obvious! I go there more than 3 times a week and every new person comes to us to ask again what was just explained because they didnt get it. Always glad to help but not my job.

Good attention. Very kind and careful with customers, but I do not like pedaling indoors and I told them I did not want membership, that it is expensive for what they offer, and they insisted a lot. I had to deactivate myself from his mailing list. They are very annoying.
