Whether you want to be a Pilates princess or dance in a Pure Barre class, group fitness classes are always on trend. Indoor cycling is no exception. With a focus on being beginner-friendly (and keeping your motivation high with a powerful workout playlist), our cycling classes allow you to focus on your workout rather than worrying about “gym tension.” Masu.
Founded in Boston nearly 20 years ago, CycleBar has quickly become one of the largest and most popular indoor cycling classes. We currently have more than 200 locations around the world, including numerous locations in the United States and several international studios in Canada, Australia, and Japan.
Designed for all levels, from first-time riders to experienced cyclists, CycleBar offers a dynamic cardiovascular workout with seven classes to choose from. Beginners can choose the Foundation, an all-level class that focuses on the basics, while those short on time can choose the 30-minute interval-based Xpress class. Classic rides include incline challenges that focus on strength and endurance. To boost energy, Empower is designed to emphasize strength and mindset, and Connect rides feature dances, drills, and speed changes. Strength classes incorporate 8- and 10-pound weight bars, and performance classes are designed for group challenges. All CycleBar classes can be modified to suit each individual’s fitness level.
