Just returning to spinning after Covid-hiatus. Have taken three classes with Liv in the last month (1 at Westport and 2 at Darien) and theyve all been great. Her music selections are awesome, her workouts are tough but not intimidating, it is a JOY to be back in the saddle!

I started spinning a few years ago but was never really happy with the spin classes I was being offered at my regular gym. Joyride Darien came highly recommended by several friends, so I decided to give it a try. It was so easy to create an account online and I even received a complimentary class for my first visit! The spin studio was sparkling clean and the bikes are spaced out over 12 feet apart. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I have tried 3 different instructors and all of them are great! The classes are challenging but accessible to all levels. I left the classes feeling so good and extremely excited to take the next one. I am so happy to have found such a nice studio with such awesome people. Do yourself a favor and spin at Joyride Darien!

I recently decided to try Joy Ride after seeing an ad for the pop-up outdoor tent. Brilliant idea! So far, Ive tried four instructors and have found all of them to be high energy, skilled and highly motivating. The classes are really fun and upbeat and provide a challenging workout. I just wish the bikes had computers connected to them for those of us who like to track our stats and progress over time.

My wife and I are avid spin folks. We moved to Darien recently and are so happy we discovered Joy Ride. They have done a great job in the Covid era setting up an outside venue. The classes and instructors are great. We are very happy with Joy Ride and encourage you to give it a try.

I love being part of the Joyride community. I started spinning in Jan. 2020 with my friend’s 16 year old daughter. My first class was really hard and I did not want to go back, but she invited me to another class and I could not say no to her. I then quickly fell in love with spinning and Joyride. Then COVID hit, but the Joy tent opened and I’ve been faithfully taking amazing classes there ever since. The instructors rock, it’s good for my physical and mental health. It’s a favorite activity that I do with my good friend. I love starting my day on a bike listening to great music, getting exercise and being with my friend. I have a Peloton too, but I’ll never give up live in- person classes with the awesome Joyride community.

I have had a fantastic time at my JoyRide classes! The instructors are talented and more than willing to assist their students. There are always shoes available to rent. I have loved the workouts and the playlists put together by each of the cycling instructors. The locker rooms are beautiful and the facilities are clean. JoyRide has my highest recommendation, and I have referred their classes to many of my friends!

Great studio with awesome instructors and friendly staff! The studio itself is beautiful and clean and classes are challenging and push you throughout each ride. The instructors are always so positive and knowledgeable and create great playlists that are fun and inspiring. So glad I found JoyRide!

Review №13

Cycling for me, is one of the only spaces where for 50-60 minutes, I can actually put my phone away, listen to uplifting music and have someone tell me that I am essentially stronger than I think I am, in that given moment. I love it and need it! When I moved to New Haven, I was in search of a new fitness community and though I am still fairly new, I know the opportunity is huge through the the Joyride community. I am incredibly excited to continue on this ride!

I hadn’t been to joyride in a while due to three young kids and a busy schedule. I made it back to the studio today and it was amazing to be back! The class gave me a fantastic workout. I’ll be coming back more regularly!! Thank you for an awesome workout!

I love JoyRide so much! The instructors all provide a challenging, empowering class but are all so unique in their styles. You will never get tired of trying out a new instructor! The studio is constantly offering fun events and themed rides to spice things up. Everyone there is extremely helpful and welcoming. By far it is the best place for spin.

Highly recommend JoyRide Darien for any indoor cycling fanatic. The staff is very helpful and the instructors (besides all looking like beautiful, buff fitness models) bring high energy, great music & entertainment to each and every class. It’s very easy to purchase sessions and sign-up for a class on their website and you can cancel up to 6pm the night before a class without penalty.

Review №23

I recently discovered Joy Ride as referred by a friend of mine. I had a terrible spin experience and basically wrote it off until my friend convinced me to try it. I absolutely fell in love with spin, specifically Mo’s class! His energy is contagious and the perfect way to start your day.I recently signed up for Joy Athlete with Dina to try it out and was such an intense workout (in a good way), I’m still super sore. I love that there are options to mix up the classes!

Love coming to JoyRide, Their studio offers not just spin classes but JoyAthlete classes that really target new muscles and build strength. This really helps to keep workouts interesting! It was hard finding a studio that wasnt intimidating and would be patient with fitness level capability. Highly recommend Joyride to anyone looking to challenge themselves.

I am obsessed with JoyRide. I leave every class feeling so refreshed and exhausted in a good way. Music is always so on point. I also really enjoy that the studio offers cycling classes as well as weight training/Pilates classes in their second studio. Maggie and Jamie are my faves! They are always pushing me and the other riders to our limits. Highly recommend their classes.

Love JoyRide, they have classes all throughout the day for days when I want to get my workout in early and others for when Id rather save it for after work. Mo is my absolute FAVORITE instructor- Im a 26 year old girl and his classes are so lively, he plays great music, and is just so lively it makes the class a lot of fun and I look forward to getting into his classes every week.

Positive:-Really good place! I would recommned Eryk as the instructor, he has an amazing style and playlist.-Location is perfect, in the heart of New Haven.-Bicycles are good too.-Staff is super friendly and they are always willing to hear you as a customer in order to keep improving. Well done!Negative:-Restrooms are very small and get easily full.-There is an annoying purple light behind the instructors that, when turned on, it even hurts your eyes when looking at the instructor. Nothing too bad, but still could be improved.

I am definitely joining Joy Ride because I feel like a part of the Joy Ride family... I sweat like a dog and nobody judges me. I am burning major calories and I owe to Dina... she is the bomb!

So the actually studio & teachers are amazing! I wish I could say the same for the front desk and whoever is in charge of responding to emails. I have written to them daily for about a month and left several messages and no responses back. Very rude and will not go back again. Not professional at all.

I’ve been staying in Stamford for a couple of months, visiting from the Boston area. The indoor cycling studio CycleTown in Hingham MA offers a great workout with great instructors and during my time away I wanted to try to maintain the momentum I’d achieved at CycleTown....Their staff recommended JoyRide for its high energy, music-driven classes and I’m glad I took their advice! I’ve not had quite as much time as I’d like to spin, but each time I ride I come away with that feeling of a great workout. Classes taken with Maggie, Stephanie, Jaime, and Allie have been fun, challenging, and inspiring. (Maggie’s musical selections have been particularly excellent!). I appreciate the weekend “JoyRide60” class with its hourlong challenge. The positive attitude/vibes from the instructor help me get through the tough stretches. The studio is clean and the bikes work well. The sound system is great (nice and loud) and the instructor is visible from all angles which I find helpful. Perhaps I’m not the typical spin client — a middle aged guy with many pounds yet to lose (though indoor cycling has helped me produce results in the past five months) — nevertheless, I think they do a great job at the Darien studio and I recommend it as a fun workout! I cycle outside but have come to appreciate the indoor cycling class as it’s own fitness experience — it’s not specialized training for outdoor riding nor should it be intimidating for new riders! Just ask the staff to explain the cycling positions if need be (there is some “choreo” but they don’t go overboard with it!); and try to arrive a few minutes before start time in order to warm up as they get going pretty fast when class starts. Fun, exciting, motivational workout!
