RIDE delivers a high-intensity, music-driven experience that blends rhythm-based cycling with full-body strength training. Most classes take place in a low-lit studio with a powerful sound system, custom playlists, and an immersive, multi-sensory atmosphere designed to keep you energized from start to finish.

Sessions are built around signature programming led by veteran instructors, focusing on performance, endurance, and rhythm. Whether you’re clipping in for RIDE, taking on Thai Box or BOX, or slowing down with Yoga Flow or Yoga Restore + Flow, each class is crafted to push limits and build both mental and physical strength.

Our call to the studio was smooth and efficient, with clear info on class types, membership offers, and parking. It covered all the essentials, though it lacked personalization, with no effort to learn about our fitness background or goals.

On arrival, we were warmly welcomed and checked in quickly. Spin shoes were offered right away, and we got a full tour of the space, including lockers, showers, and the studio. Staff even helped set up our bikes, making it easy to settle in. The friendly vibe and thoughtful service made a great first impression.

After class, we weren’t asked how the session went, but the receptionist was upbeat and confidently walked us through membership options, including community classes and deals. While no one asked about our goals, the energy was positive, and we left feeling well-informed and welcome.

Aviator Nation Santa Monica received our Class Experience Award of Excellence.

Our instructor brought serious energy to the spin class, keeping the vibes high and the room motivated from start to finish. The playlist hit the mark, the coaching style was upbeat and clear, and the session was well-structured with just the right balance of challenge and encouragement. We especially loved the moment we were invited to ride with our eyes closed, which added a cool, introspective twist. From pre-assigned bikes to prepped weights, the setup was spot-on, and the class flowed smoothly from warmup to a strong finish.

Our only minor gripe was at the start, when the instructor was deep in conversation and slow to greet us, leaving some uncertainty about bike setup. The receptionist stepped in to help, and once class began, the instructor welcomed first-timers warmly and kept the energy high, calling out beginners with encouragement.

While the instructor excelled at group motivation, there were no one-on-one check-ins or injury screenings. Still, the passion and presence were clear, and we left feeling accomplished and energized.

The studio at Aviator Nation Ride was a standout, blending sleek design with top-tier functionality. The Schwinn bikes were in excellent condition and customized with the brand’s iconic stripes and colors, adding a fun, unique touch. We also appreciated the variety of weights available, making the workout accessible for all levels.

Everything was spotless and clearly well cared for, with a vibrant, energetic feel that pulled us right into the Aviator Nation vibe. There was plenty of space to move, stretch, and ride comfortably, and every detail—from lighting to layout—felt thoughtfully done.

The sound system packed a punch, and the lighting struck the right balance, creating the high-energy atmosphere you'd want in a ride class. Overall, the studio delivered a polished, memorable experience full of personality.

The public areas at Aviator Nation Ride were a visual treat, bursting with bold colors, iconic stripes, and stylish design details. From the neon signs to the murals, the branding was loud and proud, creating a clean, energetic space that blended fashion and fitness seamlessly. The retail area showcased high-quality workout gear that matched the studio’s vibe.

Lockers were secure and included built-in chargers, though we missed having hangers and a proper changing area. Complimentary workout towels were placed on our bikes, and post-class eucalyptus towels were a nice touch. Showers featured luxe Aesop products and good pressure, with grooming essentials like dry shampoo and deodorant provided—but no hairdryers.

The drink selection included fun wellness-focused options like Kin Euphorics and Recess, along with complimentary water. While no food was offered, the strong brand presence and thoughtful amenities made the experience feel premium and memorable.

Aviator Nation Ride delivered a smooth, stylish digital experience that made getting started easy. Booking was quick through both the website and branded app, with instant email and text confirmations that felt polished and on-brand.

The welcome email stood out with bold branding and clear info, helping us feel fully prepped for our visit. Social media was also strong, with regular updates, an accurate schedule, and a look that matched the in-studio vibe. Instructor bios, class descriptions, and package options were easy to find online.

While tech didn’t extend beyond booking and communications—no in-studio displays or body tracking—the essentials were done well. A few more arrival and cancellation details would help, but overall, the digital journey was seamless and true to the brand.
