Cyclepathic Fitness

Love this place. It is clean and everyone that works there is nice. I personally like the spinning classes the best. The abs class is hard and is packed on the weekends.
Parking is easy off the side and they have lockers.

LOVE Cyclepathic– great energy & awesome classes! I’ve taken spin here a few times when I’ve been visiting the area and really enjoyed every class. I’ve only had a few instructors but can say loved Tracy’s overall energy, and Savannah had amazing music combos and a fun yet challenging ride with lots of encouragement! The studio also had a good deal for your first class — $ 15 — check it out!

He studio has some great instructors… I LOVE Shalimar, if you haven’t tried her class… you have to give it a try. This isn’t your typical cardio class, she’ll definitely work your butt off!!’

I took Arthur’s class and it rocked my world! He is extremely energetic, fun, positive and inspiring. He was just as involved as his students and was on the ride with us. He made me feel very welcome and comfortable my first time at the studio. I definitely got a work-​out in and had a ball at the same time! I will be back —

Cyclepathic has quickly become my favorite place to spin — excellent bikes, warm and friendly staff and the best spin instructor I’ve found yet — Arthur! I’ve taken several of his 6a classes during the week (M, Tu, Th, F) and the happy hour ride on Friday at 6:30. He always brings a beautiful and encouraging energy, pushes you to your limits and then past them, plays great music and even dances. Because why not?

I just took my third spin class here and I really like this studio and this is why:
–The bikes are very comfortable (lots of padding), overall pleasant to ride on compared to other studios, and very adjustable for short people like myself
–Sara’s class was great — I LOVED the music she played and the class overall, it was well choreographed and inspirational similar to Soulcycle and I loved that. Other instructors are top notch too (including Arthur) and even get to know your name and engage with you during the class. They all play slightly different types of music, although all of it is really great in my opinion, but its nice because you can mix it up and do more of a hip hop ride one night and then a techno/​dance ride the next day
–The front desk people are really nice and amazingly helpful, especially the owner or manager who has helped me out multiple times
–FREE PARKING in a parking lot they share with other businesses. There were plenty of spots. It’s right behind Cyclepathic. I’ll be back just because of this.
The classes I went to with Sara and Arthur were really great workouts; we did everything from sprints to jumps, hills, intervals, etc. There was literally nothing more that we could have done in class. I felt like I got a real workout unlike SoulCycle, where they heat the room to 100 degrees to make you feel like you are working out when you aren’t really pushing yourself 100% :) They don’t use weights and focus on spin, which boosts the intensity and makes it a real cardio/​leg workout, as it should be. Then you go and do real weights on other days (not the 1 pound SoulCycle weights that they make you do during class leading you to believe thats a real arm workout lol). SoulCycle and the like are just gimmicky. Cyclepathic is the real deal.
I’m surprised this place isn’t packed in every class. Thats kind of the only downside, is that there aren’t a ton of people & classes seem kind of empty sometimes but I hope more people join and start coming because I think thats really all this studio needs to make it perfect. So come on everyone… take a class!

Really great spin studio had a really good vibe to it and Arthur the spin instructor seems to be the hippest dude I met in town so far.

I’m a classpasser and regularly rotate Cyclepathic into my workouts.
The Good
1. Several really great cycle instructors including Kate, Adam and Chelsey. All have great music, encouraging attitudes and acceptably low levels of contraindicated bike routines. 5 stars
2. Some really good HIIT classes taught by Shalamar. 5 stars
3. One of the few gyms around that has a foam rolling class. Both Shalamar and Chelsey do an excellent job leading these classes. 5 stars
4. Nice facility including lockers. The hallways gets a little crowded, but that’s what you get at a popular gym. 4 stars
Tip: take Kate’s Wednesday 6:30 PM Vibe Ride cycle class followed by Shalamar’s Slow Your Roll foam rolling class at 7:30 PM. It’s a perfect combination.
The Bad
A few poor cycling instructors. Example:
Sara’s 6:30 PM Wednesday Vibe Ride class. This class is a 180 from Kate’s Vibe Ride right before it. Don’t make the mistake of conflating the two. She has great energy and decent music, but she’s one of those instructors that wants you to do push-​ups on the bike, spin at high RPM out of the saddle, do crunches etc … And that’s all in the first 15 minutes of class. At best, that stuff actually decreases your output. At worst, it injures you. I rarely walk out of a class, but 20 minutes in and I couldn’t take this anymore.
2 stars
I figure this all averages out to 4 stars

I had tried Cyclepathic last year with my Class Pass and recently bought a package so I could take advantage of more classes. I’m so glad that I did because they have some great ones that I’d never thought to try! I really enjoyed the «Buns Guns and Abs» class — challenging and toning in the areas I want it most! The TRX class kicked my ass and left me sore for days. The foam roller class was a great way to decrease my recovery time from TRX!
Also love that there is a white board where you can add the songs you’d like to hear during classes.
The staff is great, the instructors are supportive, and the studio itself is well kept.

This is for the spin class only. I did go to an amazing group fitness class here so I would recommend that.
I live in the area and so I’ve had a chance to take recent spin classes at Cycle House, Soul Cycle, Ryde4 and Equinox. I would recommend any of these over the spin class here.
Granted, I’ve only been to one of the classes and I may check out another class with another instructor.
Thoughts about the class:
1) Difficulty — this class was the least challenging to me of the ones I’ve taken. I usually walk out of a spin class feeling like I got an amazing workout, but after Cyclepathic’s class I felt like I could have been more challenged if I had done 45 minutes of cardio at the gym. As some other people noted, there was not a lot of variation to the workout, mostly just interval sprinting. We spent far more time in the saddle than in any other class I’ve been in.
2) Instructors – there was almost no comment on form and pace, and very little check-​in on individual students, which was a shame as this was the smallest group in a spin class that I’ve seen and the instructor could have easily offered individualized comments. There was no reference to what RPM you should be at or what a resistance level should feel like at a particular point of the workout.
The instructor did do a lot of motivational shouting, but I wish he had focused more on the actual riding experience and helping the students improve on that front more. For most of the class, it felt like the instructor had aggregated every inspirational post on Facebook and was reading them very, very loudly to us.

I checked out different instructors at this place and I’ll say it’s kind of a hit or miss depending on who you get but if you get the right instructors, this place is a great spin studio. Love working out here!

I love spin classes, and since joining ClassPass, I have been looking for good spin on the Westside. I’m pretty picky when it comes to classes, and I have to say, I really enjoy Cyclepathic.
Arthur is by far my favorite instructor — I can’t recommend him enough! He has great energy and is really motivating. He remembers names really well (he usually introduces himself to you before the ride starts) and will call you out by name during the class to help keep you moving. His music is really good too.
The Friday Happy Hour Ride is a perfect way to start your weekend — get your workout in and then have a glass of wine to unwind after class.
Parking is easy! Make sure to bring your own spin shoes to clip in or otherwise you’ll have to use cages.

I really enjoy the Abs, Buns, Guns workout as well as Body Blast. I get my butt kicked during the hour but feel great afterwards. Highly recommended for solid strength training.

I never leave Unilocal reviews but this is for all the Classpass-​ers out there that may be considering this.
I really did not like this class. The place is clean and conveniently located but the class felt very dated. The music felt like an afterthought, there was no «riding on the beat» or counts to help you get on rhythm, the music was not themed to go with the type of ride we would be doing (slow on a hill, fast/​dance on a sprint). They go with a rather a more clinical approach with numbers you can reference on your meter board, which I feel takes you out of the zone.
There are no shoe rentals only shoe baskets which always lead to strange shin splints /​discomfort for me, but they do note this in the classpass description so this is a more of a personal hang up.
The instructor was nice, but seemed very out of breath and not very motivating. There was no movements on the bike such as tap backs, figure 8s, shifting left and right, no jumps, hardly any sort of HIIT on the bike which I’ve experienced at any of the dozen of so places I’ve been (with favorites like Cyclehouse and aura cycle). Overall, it felt like a spin class held at a chain gym, but with more «alternative» interior with graffiti. I would skip this, I won’t be returning. I was hardly sweating and usually feel like after spin I need to shower immediately. Thats my 2 cents.

I’ve been coming to Cyclepathic for a few months now and love it! I discovered Cyclepathic through ClassPAss and have taken several spin classes with varying instructors. The Friday evening Happy Hour Ride is my favorite class. It’s great kicking off the weekend with an intense workout and then following it up with a glass of wine.
I’ve been to several spin studios and have to say that Cyclepathic has been my favorite so far. The spin classes are tough but the instructors do an excellent job of encouraging you during your entire ride. The music is also great and it’s just an overall fun experience.
The staff is fantastic and incredibly welcoming. I recommend Cyclepathic Fitness to all my friends and I look forward to trying out their other fitness classes.

Reasons I love this place:
1. Rene Wiley. He’s currently my favorite instructor and you will notice he has «followers» because he is so good.
2. The schwinn bikes. They are the best and besides equinox this is the only place I found.
3. Great energy throughout the studio.
4. Easy and free parking available.

I never actually thought I’d like a Cycling class so much. But the energy and motivation I got from here, was unlike any other. I’ve done cycling classes at my gym before, but they’ve been very dull, and the instructor was clearly not cut out for a «people oriented» job.
Anyways, I left Cyclepathing sweating like no other. I haven’t had an exercise this good in a very long time. Cannot wait for my next class :)
Oh and I’d also like to mention that my class was in the buttcrack of morning, and I’m not a morning person at all. The fact that they were able to get me this motivated, speaks volume!

Oh my goodness !! Did this place deliver. Was anticipating and hoping for a Soul Cycle kind of scenario, and I got that and more. The instructor was SO GOOD — she kept us pumped up the entire time, motivated not to give up, managed to remember all our names (impressive), and took us to the promise land: the finish line. She had a killer soundtrack that evolved with our climbs, put on a serious light show, and you somehow forgot that your legs felt like they were falling off /​Jello amidst the experience. Can’t wait to come back for Round 2.
Oh, the staff is friendly and helpful, as well, and they sell delicious fresh juices and salads. A+, Cyclepathic.

Purchased a 10 pack classes during the holiday promotion. The studio has spin and group fitness classes. This is the review for the spin only.
I will say the positive first,
1. Very friendly front desk/​Easy check in. The class is never full so you can pick the bike you like.
2. Easy parking, no validation needed-​always plenty of spots.
3. Clean towel, clean bathroom. The locker is easy to use.
4. I will have to say the bike is very comfortable with a monitor –spin shoes or sneakers are ok.
However,
Wish they could provide spin shoes.

My favorite spin spot by far. I absolutely love all the instructors, of course I have my favorite ones but if I can’t make their class I always know that I won’t be disappointed if I show up to any other class. Not only is this a place full of good energy by Adam the owner donates a portion of his profit to this amazing organization called «Life Rolls on». As a business owner in Santa Monica myself is great to see your community grow with great people.
Totally recommend it!
