New York City, USA

The Soul Cycle Story

SoulCycle is considered by many to be the indoor cycling brand. Their first Manhattan studio opened back in ‘06 and started an indoor cycling revolution that paved the way for other premium fitness brands and concepts. Right after launch classes were quickly waitlisted, and it was clear that founders Elizabeth Cutler, Julie Rice and Ruth Zukerman were onto something special.

SouCycle was later acquired by Equinox in 2011, which helped turbocharge their expansion to over 100 studios in the US, Canada and the UK. They’re famous for their candlelit studios, bike choreography and instructors that are as much MCs and DJs as they are fitness professionals.

“The class was really high energy and the enthusiastic, almost evangelical commentary from the coach made it a memorable experience.”

What To Expect From A SoulCycle Session

SoulCycle is a premium indoor cycling offering that delivers soulful, music-driven rides in a fun and nightclub-like environment. Their “boundary-pushing” workout is designed to uplift and empower in an environment that’s inclusive and non-judgmental. During the class, everyone cycles in time with the beat of the music, creating an in-sync unity and vibe that’s made it world-renowned.

They often do themed rides featuring particular artists, for example, you might find a Beyonce Vs Jay-Z class, and each instructor becomes well-known for their music selection. 

If you’re a first timer to SoulCycle, we recommend seeking out a class or instructor that you vibe with and who shares your taste in music.

The Reception Service

The receptionist was helpful and knowledgeable during the pre-arrival phone enquiry, but lacked enthusiasm. On arrival and check in, more information could have been provided and our evaluator did not receive a particularly warm welcome as a first time visitor.

The Class Experience

SoulCycle E 63rd Street has received The Fit Guide’s Recommended rating for its notable class experience.

Our evaluator enjoyed the high-energy, enjoyable workout. However, they received no assistance as a first timer and felt a little uncomfortable at the start. A follow up after the class would have been appreciated.

The Equipment And Studio

The darkened room enhanced the experience and all equipment appeared clean and in good working condition.

The Facilities And Public Areas

There were nice branding elements throughout the facility. However, in some areas around the studio, it felt a little cramped when busy.

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

Digital And Technology

We found it easy to make a reservation via the website as it was professionally designed and included all the necessary information. The club keeps social media pages up to date and consistent with the values and aesthetics of the brand.
