SoulCycle West End

This studio is made even better by starting my day on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Jordan at 6am. Her classes have great energy and motivation to feel like you can take on all that you need to for the remainder of the day. Love her style of spin with the addition of bomb music choices that fit perfectly with the mood. Try it out soon and you’ll be hooked!

I checked out SoulCycle with a friend recently. We attended a 5:30 class that had some open seats. Since it was our first spin, it was free including shoes. This spin class requires clip in shoes, but if you don't have your own, you can rent them for a fee. Water is also available for a fee. Anyway, you pick your bike before you enter the room, which is nice. The room is dimly lit with a stage and a large mirror behind the instructor; however, once the class gets going, don't expect to see yourself because it gets SO hot that the glass fogs. I took my class with Megan and she was WONDERFUL. She had such great energy. Staff is very helpful if it's your first time. They are quick to set up your bike and a towel is waiting for you as soon as you sit down. Also, if you don't know how to clip in/out, staff is ready and available to help. I LOVED my class at SoulCycle, but for $30 a class, I can only give it 4 stars.

I am in Washington for an extended business trip and have being going to SoulCycle West End location almost every day. What a fantastic experience I am having. I am full of energy and feel great every day even during stressful business meetings. I have discovered a new way to stay in shape while visiting D.C. Ditch your hotel gym and head to one of the SoulCycle locations. You will not regret it.

This workout kicked my butt despite having worked out three plus times a week. It was a little disorienting and hot, and you're expected to know all the terms which are not gone over before hand. I didn't know what a Tap back was, now I do and I hate them. I have several friends that love this place but it's just not for me. Try it out though it's worth the initial free class if you can.

I found this experience really awful. The locker room is packed. The cycling studio is extremely hot. I didn't like the workout and felt like for $30 you should get more motivation or personal attention. It's dark, and that made me feel less involved. Obviously this is a cult for some people but it was pretty horrible for me.

Good workout, but I like the local cycling studios better. Be prepared for a scene if you come here! People working out in designer clothes and full makeup, and I needed earplugs in the class

Only reason I gave it two stars is because I actually worked up a sweat. I'm a experienced indoor cycling rider with well over 400 rides. Garretts class was my worst cycling experience ever. He never explained anything and if he did say anything his music was way too loud for you to even understand. The worst part about his class was that in the middle of the session he called me out "to put emphasis on my right foot." I was so embarrassed I just continued to ride because I was extremely Infuriated. I own a personal training business and one thing I learned is to not make a client feel uncomfortable. I cant imagine how someone would have felt that has never rode before.

My wife recommended I take a class here. Just took my first class with Cher. This was her 4 year anniversary teaching classes...she was awesome!! Highly recommend!

Words can't describe. Absolutely my favorite workout experience in DC. Try it out if you're into inspiring and tough instructors, an upbeat high-speed workout, and basically a dance party on a bike.

SoulCycle's motto is "find your soul" and their promise is that you can do anything. Started in NYC, SoulCycle has exploded since its launch and developed a cult following. In August, SoulCycle opened its first location in West End. Tonight, I was able to try this pedal power workout. Signing in, shoes were given as well as a bike seat assignment. Lockers were quickly filled and a queue for the restroom formed faster than lunch hour at a food truck. Even when the doors to the studio opened and folks filed in to find their bikes, folks waited for an instructor to help adjust their bike seats and handlebars. Most of us were newcomers to SoulCycle. However, friendly faces and helpful instruction allowed everyone to comfortably get on their bikes and our instructor, Garrett, began the class. Lights dimmed and that's when I noticed the flickering candles in front of Garrett's bike. The music pumped us up as we began pedaling. Garrett started fairly slow at the lowest resistance, gradually building us up as the tempo steadily increased. Each song welcomed a new challenge. We soon increased our resistance and began doing pushups as we pedaled faster. About 20 minutes later, we switched to an upper-body toning routine with light hand weights. Up and down, punch, punch. 45 minutes later even though it felt like 15, we were stretching out our sore muscles. I've tried a spinning class before, but SoulCycle is beyond just a spin class. It's about letting the rhythm push you. High-energy, this is a full body workout. You will sweat. You will ache tomorrow. But you will have also changed the way you perceive workouts. Inspirational instructors, modern spaces, fast-paced playlist, and a full-body, cardio workout. Welcome to DC, SoulCycle!
