Psycle - Oxford Circus

London, UK

The Psycle Story

Psycle was founded in 2014 by Rhian Stephenson with a vision of helping people get hooked on the “transformative power of movement”. Their first Oxford Circus location became famous for offering some of the fitness industry’s best cycling classes, and this helped fuel growth to other locations around London.

Psycle now offers five different workout modalities - Ride, Barre, HIIT, Reformer and Yoga - across four primely located London branches. Riders also have an on-demand digital platform to choose from called Psycle At Home, offering Ride, Yoga, HIIT and Barre.

What To Expect From A Psycle Yoga Session

Yoga at Psycle combines traditional movements and philosophy with fresh, energizing music playlists. Align your mind and body in a balancing and uplifting escape from hectic London life.

Class types include Revival, which offers a “Power Flow” followed by a slow Yin sequence; Flow, which is a slower paced, beginner friendly class; and Power Flow, which is a more fast-paced practice with an upbeat playlist.

The Reception Service

Our pre-visit call to the branch was handled by a friendly, enthusiastic, and informative member of staff who prepared us well for our visit.

We spoke to three different reception staff during our visit, and whilst they were friendly, and able to answer questions easily, no proactive effort to personalize the service was made.

The Class Experience

Psycle Oxford Circus achieved our Rated score for the Class Experience.

Our instructor appeared to enjoy running the class and did not rush at any point, offering a well-structured session overall. As a first timer to the studio and a beginner to yoga, it would have helped us to have more individual attention and deeper, more thorough explanations and visual demonstrations for some of the movements.

The Equipment And Studio

The studio felt calming to walk into, and there was plenty of space for clients to comfortably workout. The training area was functional but quite generic, without a strong sense of brand.

The Facilities And Public Areas

Workout and shower towels were provided free of charge. Lockers were provided with number locks. Free water refill stations were available.

The public areas had a nice atmosphere on the whole with some good branding elements, and it seemed a comfortable place to hang out before or after class.

Digital And Technology

The website had a clean, crisp design and layout and it was easy to find all of the relevant information. The booking process was smooth and intuitive, and there was a good level of communication from the brand via email concerning cancellation policies and booking confirmation.
