Revolution Cycle + Fitness Studio

Love this place! All trainers and the usual class members are very positive and encouraging. I’ve tried everything but the Pilates classes and loved them all. I got into shape and had definition quickly after only a few classes.
Dawn is the owner and she truly cares about everyone’s fitness and health. She always provides helpful tips and information and makes you feel welcome.
Try groupon first to see which classes and trainers you like, they have great deals.

I switched to this gym after moving into the Northeast neighborhood in October 2014 and I needed a change to my gym routine. I stumbled upon this after doing a quick Google maps search and took them up on their $ 39 unlimited-​monthly-​classes intro deal (they recently changed their fee structure so this may have changed as well.) I’ve taken most of the classes they’ve offered in my 7-​months there and have enjoyed every sweaty minute!
Spin Classes: Man I didn’t think I would EVER become a fan of spin. I’ve done spin classes at at least 4 other gyms and never made a habit of it but Revolution has made me a spin-​enthusiast! There are 30-​, 45-​, and 60-​minute classes so any level or schedule can fit in these classes. Dawn is a machine — she’ll spin with the class and still have the breath to cheer us all along the way. And please, please, please don’t miss the chance to take a class with Caesar (his Wednesday 45-​minute class is my personal favorite!).
Pilates Classes: Again, another winner here. There are a few different instructors that each make the class their own. And if you think lying on your back for half the class will fail to get those muscles on fire, think again! These women know how to push you and still make it fun. Certain classes even have a unofficial tongue-​in-​cheek themes where the camaraderie of this gym really shines through.
Strength Classes: these are offered a few times a week, mostly during the early AM so I haven’t been to them as much but Alita and Heather really make you sweat and are enthusiastic teachers! Alita on Monday mornings at 5:45 AM will even get down and do the exercises with the class!
This gym is small but fierce, and a true family. Right away I felt extremely included and they’ve always bent over backwards to make my experience the best possible. I’ve hopped gyms before but I think I’ve found a home in Revolution Cycle.

Spinning is the hardest workout I’ve ever tried. Their bikes are unlike any other, allows you to turn and get a killer upper body workout. Dawn, the owner, is the most motivating teacher I’ve ever had. Plan on being so sore after the first few classes, but so worth it.

A friend and I actually found this place through a Groupon and we just had a chance to get started this morning. The people here are just generally really nice and outgoing and it did a lot to assuage my fears about my first ever spin class. The instructor came and introduced herself and made sure we were comfortably ensconced on our bikes before class started and made sure we knew we could take things at our own pace. Other spinning veterans even went out of their way to bring us a towel and offer some tips. When we needed to stop after 30 minutes of the 60 minute class (Spinning is intense! And I’m a bit of a fitness novice), we did so to comments of encouragement and a little round of applause. It was such a pleasant surprise.
The only less-​than-​ideal thing about this place is that it’s so popular the schedule fills up pretty quickly so you’ll want to make sure to sign up for a class well in advance, especially ones in the evening. The cancellation policy is a little strict but I see that as a good thing — a little extra motivation to make sure you actually go.

This place has a very odd cancelation policy where they say you can cancel at 8pm the night prior but they really charge you in general for canceling. BEWARE of the trap. Also, make sure to scream your name at the person who checks you in so they know you’re there because they don’t ask your name and then charge you as if you didn’t show up. BEWARE of this trap as well. The actual classes are really good but honestly all charges make it stressful and not worth the hassle.

I was looking for a gym close to my house that has yoga and Pilates. I found that and so much more! This isn’t just a gym, it’s family. The kind that remembers your birthday or recognizes a job promotion. Enough about the warm feelings you get, and onto why we join gyms.
The yoga classes are amazing, the Pilates classes are even better. Added bonuses are all of the other classes I didn’t realize I would get! Krankcycle is a great upper body workout. The kettle bell, trx, and spin classes are great as well!
You won’t find a better deal anywhere else, all of these classes are rolled into one monthly rate! Try it out you won’t regret it.

In the last 12 hours, I’ve taken my first two classes at Revolution, and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt this enthusiastic about fitness before. My first class was Pilates Reformer and Trista (instructor) and Dawn (owner/​instructor) made me feel so welcome and encouraged. The Reformer classes are small (4 per class) so you get personal attention, with the teachers making sure your form is right and showing modifications for anyone with injuries or just less experience.
Then came this morning: BodyFusion cycling with Caesar. OW! But the best kind of pain that exists. Caesar greeted everyone at 6am with a huge smile and tons of energy. The cycling class is obviously a lot of work, and it was my first cycling class ever, but he never once made me feel like my inexperience and less-​than-​tip-​top shape were unwelcome or unwanted at Revolution. In fact, I felt motivated and encouraged to do what I could.
And the price is right! Unlimited monthly classes — including Reformer! — for $ 79, and $ 39 for new clients. The location is super convenient, located next door to Psycho Suzi’s, although evening parking is predictably insane. There is a Revolution parking lot, but it fills up.
I can’t wait to make this part of my daily routine! Revolution is a friendly and challenging fitness environment, and it’s a really refreshing change from other places I’ve tried. They offer several different cycling classes, Pilates Reformer and mat, yoga (vinyasa and sculpt), kettle bells, and more.
Revolution will definitely be a fitness revolution for me! I have so much instant love for everyone and everything here.
