CB CycleBarn

I came here for the first time today as a guest. I’ve worked in the health club industry for 10+ years and have taken a bajillion indoor cycling classes with dozens for amazing instructors. With that being said, today’s class with Sonny was challenging, ridiculously sweaty, super fun, and without question the best spin class I’ve ever taken. He was encouraging, his music was amazing, and I feel great and ready to conquer the day. At the end of class — just when you feel like this place couldn’t get any more awesome, icy cold towels are delivered to you on a platter. Not joking. Oh, and shoutout to Grace for the amazing customer service and for making me feel so welcomed!

Love Cycle Barn! One of the best spin gyms I have visited. I am so lucky Cycle Barn is right in my hometown. Karen is dedicated to providing exceptional service and it shows; from state of the art bikes and IQ to the ice cold towels hand delivered during the cool down. Five stars for the five star service!!!

All hype no substance.
Extremely clicky reminded me of junior high. If you are into mean girls who think they are 20 but actually in the 50’s you will love it!

I used to go to the CycleBarn 2 – 3 times a week until I moved from San Clemente to Long Beach, and miss having such a great spin studio nearby. The environment is clean, everyone is welcoming, and I always left on an exercise high.
Favorite instructors are Sonny, Melissa, Nicole, & Karen. but really you can’t go wrong.
Favorite Sonny-​ism: If you don’t squeeze your ass, no one else will!

I can’t say enough how much I love this place! I have been going regularly for the past year and half and it is the best. I do have to say the staff is what makes it stand out from all the other studios. Everyone is so friendly and fun; always making sure you are well taken care, from the person checking you in to the amazing instructors and music, and of course the cold towel at the end of class. They have a great variety of class times and types of classes. I love being able to change it up to fit my mood, whether it is rhythm (party on a bike) to an IQ class where I get my butt kicked and get some aggression out. I love them all! I was always intimated by Spin but got hooked the first time I tried it. No reason not to try it… they are so nice to give the first 5 classes free to make sure you get comfortable with everything. See you at The Barn!!!

I started going to CB CycleBarn a year ago today, and it is my one hour a day that I cherish! This family owned spin studio has the BEST staff, instructors, playlists, energy and members. It is my happy place and has kicked my body into the best shape it’s been in. I love it!

I have been attending Cycle Barn for about a year and it has been one of the best workouts I’ve ever done. You get the best of both worlds with a group style workout paired with an individual self driven workout. The cardio burn is amazing. Melissa is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had and she is so motivating. In fact all the instructors are motivating and enthusiastic. They play amazing music and really keep the energy level high. This is something I will be doing for a very long time.

Great instructors! Lots of classes a day to choose from. Music is awesome and the people are so nice and encouraging. The cold towels at the end me of each class are the best. Love the Barn!

I CB Cyclebarn! I love the fun and welcoming atmosphere. Karen and her entire crew make you feel right at home. The facility itself is immaculate. The sound and lighting system in the studio are top notch. The ice cold towel at the end of class is the icing on the cake. The instructors and the class formats keep me coming back for more. I am absolutely addicted to the IQ board. It helps me track my progress and constantly push harder. Thanks for the sweat inducing good times CB CycleBarn!

Just finished my class with sonny! Amazing class! He pushes you beyond belief if what you think you can do! Amazing instructors! Amazing staff and amazing clients! Can’t wait for my class tomorrow morning! Who knew that getting in shape for summer could be this fun!!!

Best place to spin in Orange County! This spin studio is awesome! I wrote a review a year ago but just wanted to say nothing has changed and Cycle Barn truly keeps getting better and better! Now they have IQ classes with real time tv’s in front of the class so you can track your performance, they have many different styles of classes to offer, and have heart rate monitor tracking capabilities!!! Every instructor is powerful, fun and dynamic and the staff is always friendly! The studio is clean and colorful! Cycle Barn is warm and welcoming with a family-​like atmosphere– truly everyone is welcome. The first 5 classes are free– no strings attached! You are crazy not to take advantage of this FREE offer!!! Trust me you will be hooked!

Fabulous!!! Love love LOVE CB CycLeBarn! Super friendly staff, helpful teachers, inspiring workouts, and a great time guaranteed! I’m constantly challenged in class, and have watched my fitness level increase dramatically. Can’t say how happy I am with Karen & her awesome team. They’re Barntastic! Two thumbs up!

I’ve been coming to the Barn consistently for two years. This place is amazing! The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming, the facility is clean and bright, with cool artwork, and fun athletic gear for sale. The variety of classes is impressive; IQ classes teach you how to get the max out of your workout, rhythm gives you a dance party on your bike, total body allows you to add in upper body weights, plus there’s a Christian class. All of the instructors are encouraging and helpful, and they all tell you to take it at your own pace. The first FIVE classes are FREE, and I highly recommend coming back to all of them — you’ll be hooked! Lastly, cold, lavender scented towels at the end of your ride while you’re led through stretches — heaven!

I am not a huge fan of spin. But I decided to take a chance since a friend teaches here and let me say they changed my perception on spin in less than 2 minutes. Everyone is super friendly and helpful and Karen is great who is the owner. You always see her around and can tell she really cares for her place and her clients. Jana teaches a Christian based spin class which is so awesome. I couldn’t say enough good things about her class!

I have been coming to the Barn for the last couple of years. I used to be a runner but because of some injuries that’s no longer an option. I absolutely LOVE the instructors and classes at the Barn. Everyone is incredibly nice, helpful and the instructors make you feel comfortable even if you can’t keep up. It’s fun to see your stats at the CB2 IQ classes. I’ve told everyone I know about this place and how comfortable you feel here. I’ve taken classes from many instructors but especially love Karen, Melissa and Lisa. You can’t go wrong with anyone. And the schedule is fantastic!

AMAZING for beginners! Actually the cycle barn is fantastic for everyone. I’ve heard really experienced cyclists, indoor and out, say that there is no place that compares to the staff, the atmosphere, the bikes and technology, and ESPECIALLY the customer service.
I’m really appealing potential beginners.
I was so intimidated to try indoor cycling.
It seemed so intense and difficult.
I thought I would feel out of place and look foolish.
I was surprised to find exactly the opposite. People were sooo welcoming and helpful. They seemed so happy to have me there and quickly got me going. I was so happy to learn that the lights would be down and that no one would be able to see how I was doing! Also, I would be the one determining how hard it would be for me. And because no one could see how much resistance I was riding with, my beginning status would be my own little secret! (Unlike yoga where you might visibly topple over while twisted like a pretzel!)
Anyway, cut to two years later, four days a week and I’m totally addicted, just as I had heard people say that I would become! I love it more every time! I was recently reminded of all this, because I had been out for a few weeks after being sick. I was afraid that I would be so behind and horribly out of shape. But then they lowered the lights, pumped up the music, and even though I didn’t have all my strength, no one could tell!!! I turned down my resistance, and finished my first class back lookin’ like a 47 year old rockstar (in my mind!)
Best place on earth. If you’re intimidated or afraid to get started, give it a try anyway. The CB Cyclebarn will change your mind and maybe even your life! I’m so happy to be back :)
Have I mentioned that you can’t beat the people? The staff AND the clientele!
Thanks for everything Karen and the staff.
You’re all so supportive and motivational!

Best spin club around!

I was recommended CB CycleBarn by Ashley from Tutor Doctor. I was the guy in the gym always lifting and not doing enough cardio. I knew this 2015 I needed to put my heart rate monitor to good use and why not try out cycling!?!
Ashley showed me some awesome videos on YouTube of what to expect when going to a group work out. I quickly realized that its a fun place and it has been helping me reach my personal goals.
CB is super motivating and I look forward to going there everyday after the office. The staff is really friendly and the facility is super clean. The staff does a wonderful job maintaining the equipment and making sure its ready for the next person to use.
CB CycleBarn is the best cycling studio in the San Clemente area. I would not hesitate to stop in and meet some of the lovely ladies that keep this place awesome.
Way to go CB! Thank you for bringing this studio to San Clemente!

I was not happy to hear that my cousin had signed me up for a cycling class on Thanksgiving morning. I generally like fitness classes and various types of physical activity, but I had convinced myself that cycling just wasn’t for me.
CB CycleBarn quickly shattered that skepticism and reluctance. Hell, it may have even changed my life.
Before CB, I just didn’t «get» stationary cycling. Why all that churning to get nowhere? What I didn’t realize is that it’s not just about spinning a wheel. It’s not about sitting on your butt and moving your legs in circles. There’s a lot more to it.
In class, I engaged a lot more of my body than I expected. I had my butt off the seat for most of the time and felt almost like I was dancing (intensely) at a club. I was bobbing up and down to the beats, engaging my core, crunching, and doing push-​ups off the handlebars. All movements I did not expect to do on a stationary bike. All movements that I hadn’t previously considered part of cycling.
And the sweat. Yeah, gross or whatever, but I find it so satisfying when I’m drenched during/​after a workout. It’s proof that you worked hard. And a great detox.
I wish I could say I’ll be back often — but I am not local. However, I’ll make it a point to cycle here whenever I’m back visiting family. I’m going to be looking for a cycling studio near where I live and plan on making this a regular thing.
I’ve gained more than 10 pounds over the past year or so. I’ve always been conscious of it and unhappy about it. I always feel a little bit embarrassed and ashamed every time a new picture of me gets posted to Facebook. And yet I continued to trend towards eating more and exercising less. This was the jumpstart I needed to get back into a more active lifestyle. I hope it does the same for others too.

I’ve never done a spin class and holy cow I can barely sit as I write this ;) I had no idea what to expect, but everyone who worked there was SO nice and welcoming.
I will definitely be back– 5 free classes? YES PLEASE! My girlfriend goes regularly so it’ll be super convenient to tag along for the free classes :) The hour went by semi fast, considering I was trying my hardest to keep up. The instructor was really motivating and even said «for those who are beginners or it’s their first time, don’t expect to be able to do everything I’m doing right now. It’ll come with practice» so that made me feel so much better!
The building is SO clean and they even provide towels during the class AND an ice cold towel after.
Great workout! Can’t wait to come back ;)
