Vie2 Cycling Studio

I died. No literally I died. I don’t even know how I worked up enough energy to write this review for moving my fingers feels like too much at this moment.
Take it from me; this is not for the faint of heart. I went to Josh’s Power Cycle class which apparently is a damn hard class and probably way too intense for a newbie spinner — or maybe I’m just super lame and couldn’t handle it. I saw girls twice my size spinning like a mofo; I look in shape and I couldn’t keep up with them. I got nauseous the first 10 minutes into the class and though I continued following Josh’s voice as he pumps you up I felt like passing out. I will say Josh is a darn hottie and he is super motivational and does push you to your limit — and he definitely pushed me to mine.
The studio is super cute — in the lobby there are mini metal bike statues and paintings of bikes and a cute little jar of fortune cookies to munch on if you wish. I wonder if I actually took a fortune cookie and broke it open before class if my fortune would read something along the lines of «leave now, this is too much for you, you will die». I’m a stubborn ol broad and I probably would go in anyway, but at least I would know what to expect.
With all that, the studio is dope, the bathroom is fully stocked (I’m talking tampons, disposable razors, qtips), the music during class in on POINT, Josh hypes you the heck up and it’s hard to be lazy; but I’m more of a pop physique kind of gal so I think I will stick to that.
Let me go gorge on some food now cause that shit worked up some crazy munchies :)

TRICE! TRICE! TRICE!!! TRICE!!! TRICE!!!
Here’s my two cents about vie2: They have the best bikes of all the spin studios in L.A. Parking is a cakewalk on Olympic. The studio is always clean. The front desk folks are always super friendly, and they deliver your cold eucalyptus towels at the end of the ride. I also get a kick out of the leaderboard thing, because I’m the sort of person that takes it personally when Whomever Is On Bike 24 passes me. They also email you your stats after each ride, so you can compare against past performance and see how you’re improving. For a data junky like me, that’s pretty freaking cool. Those perks alone should get you maxing out your ClassPass here every cycle.
But Trice. .. that woman is a bundle of sunshine and inspiration that kicks your butt and has you smiling about it. I spin all over the city (Cycle House, Bespoke, Aura, YAS, Ryde4), and Trice is one of my favorite instructors out there. She takes this place up to a fifth star, easily. Her classes are fun and challenging, her music is always on point, and her chatter is always motivating. I get some of my best workouts in her classes.
Highly, highly recommended for riders of all levels.

I am not one to post reviews but I have to for Vie2! I have tried multiple spin studios on the Westside and Vie2 is top notch. The staff is incredibly genuine, helpful and friendly (seriously, so nice). The studio is well designed and a pleasure to be in (great atmosphere, love the lighting and the amazing fan, spacious/​beautiful locker room, so many special touches).
If you are trying to decide which instructor to start with, take Bobby Accardi’s class! If you are a spin veteran, he will take you to that edge you are looking for. If you are a new student, he is accessible and encouraging. Every class I have taken, I hear people walking out talking about how great his class was — so I know it’s not just me. Really challenging workout — in the best possible way, perfect music for a motivating class and fun to top it off!
What more can you ask for?

I was nervous, trying a spin class for the first time. The only expectations I had were from an episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and my friends exclaiming, «It’s like a club!» which only conjured images of getting knocked around by sweaty people to blaring music.
From registering for a class online to stepping off the bike at the completion of my class, I truly enjoyed my experience at Vie2 Cycling Studio.
Registering online was a breeze, and for the nervous planner in me, being able to reserve a bike next to my friends via a few simple clicks on a map (similar to reserving seats at a movie theater) was a huge relief.
The staff and instructors were all extremely friendly and patient as I fumbled with selecting a shoe size and getting adjusted to my bike. Trice was a great instructor who seems to genuinely love the work she does and took the time to learn all of the new participants’ names just as well as she knows her regular attendees.
I’m not sure what other studios are like, but this place felt like the equivalent of flying first-​class to me. The facilities are pristine, and everything just feels fresh. When I stepped into the restroom and saw the huge shower, I was certain that I had accidentally walked into the staff or instructor restroom, and at the end of the class, as you are in cool down, a staff member walks around and gives icy cold, mentholated towels, which are a blessing after a great workout. The moment I stepped out the door, I received an e-​mail on my phone, informing me of my stats and performance in the class, which was a great motivator for me to return and keep improving!

I love Bobby Accardi’s classes here! I followed him from Revolution and am so happy he landed at Vie2. I love that you can track your progress on monitors to help push you (without pinning you against fellow riders so you just compete with yourself, no one else if you want to…) and the bikes are great.

I started going to this studio again when I ran out of other cycling studios that are in my classpass. And I’m impressed! The instructors I’ve gotten for the last several weeks (Andrew and Trice) are excellent and I always feel like I’m getting a really good work out there. Totally recommend both of their classes!

Having made the rounds at several spin studios on the west side, I can easily declare that Vie2 is my favorite studio! I’ve been visiting the studio for several months now, and have loved every class I’ve taken here. I usually end up here in the morning riding with Trice, and she gets me moving and feeling great (with a lot of push and encouragement to get there).
The thing that I really love about Vie2 are the extras. There is a shower here, and the bathroom is clean, bright, and has plenty of little amenities to help me get ready for work after my class. The water fountain has an attachment to easily fill up your water bottle and there are free shoe rentals! Also, you cannot beat the feeling of that cold, mentholated hitting you after your ride. I’ve been to a few places that offer these, but it’s such an amazing perk to get one while you’re on your (literal) cool down.
And I cannot speak highly enough about the front desk staff. They are so friendly and accommodating. I took my very first spin class here, and they took the time to show me how to set up my bike, what I should pay attention to, and how I should measure the right heights and distances. They are THE BEST!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STUDIO! The instructors are fantastic all have so much energy and really push you hard in a good way. Each instructor has their own taste in music, some music I do not care for (to each his own) however, the workout always goes with the music whatever genre. Some of the classes show extreme sports and crossfit videos, LOVE it! Especially the crossfit, makes me want to work even harder, I completely zone out into the video.
The spin room itself does have a lot of bikes close together, certain stretches become challenging without bumping elbows, a little more space would be better. Overall the studio is very clean and neat, cold towels delivered in hand after each workout, also since being assigned a bike stats are emailed right after class. There is a shower in the restrooms, plus all the toiletries needed for after shower. Shoes are available for free, fresh fruits and snacks available weekend mornings (not sure during the week).
The staff and owners are also fantastic! Always friendly and accommodating if there was to be any issue not matter what it is. Very happy to have found this place thanks.

This is my favorite spin studio! I discovered it via ClassPass and have fallen in love since! The rides are always super challenging, with cool lighting and fun music. They also email you stats after. And they have a parking lot! :)

Update: still 5 stars
If you want to be motivated, take Josh’s class. A spin class has to have awesome music, and a good instructor makes it around to energize the class, but walking the walk by throwing 600 watts up on the board is a rarity with instructors. That’s Josh. Working hard while motivating the class. And he does it in a way that isn’t the least bit elitist. A+
Old review: 5 stars
Where has this studio been hiding?! I just discovered Vie2 through Classpass and had my first ride tonight with Adam. It was awesome! I’ve been recovering from injuries and need to track my rides so I can both be sure to ease back into it carefully, and track my progress. Lucky for me, this studio quantifies your ride with stats like watts, joules and calories. The space is new and modern, the staff & owner are friendly, and the equipment is great. I’ll be back for sure!

I didn’t enjoy my ride here. I’m on ClassPass and have been to a lot of the spin studios (cyclehouse, aura cycle, flywheel, yas, sunset bike house, kinetic). The studio itself is nice and clean. But the class itself was no bueno. The music was all over the place and so random. From Kid Rock, to Beyonce’s Irreplacable, to Jewish reggae (I know, weird right?), to Warren G, to Metallica, to that song Fergalicious. I’m all for variety but the tone and beat to the music didn’t match the strides of the ride. From my experience you ride to the beat of the music. That’s what gets you through that push. This was seriously not the case in Adam’s class. Nice guy but would not take his class again.
And I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way but there’s a screen projector of the music video of the song playing at that moment behind the instructor. It is so distracting while you are riding. Especially when the music selection is whack and you’re watching music videos from the early 2000’s.

I use class pass, and Vie2 is my favorite studio! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and the free shoe rental is a definite perk. I don’t have my own spin shoes but after trying them out I refuse to go back! I love how my stats are emailed to me after class so I can track my progress. Seeing it up on the screen encourages me to push myself and do better (even if I am usually near the back!) ALSO– love the cold eucalyptus towels they bring as well. As others have said, parking is super easy and I never have trouble going to evening classes after work. :)
ps– josh is amazing and super encouraging! I love that he plays music videos during class to help distract me as well.

Fantastic place! I waited until I visited this studio a few time before writing a review and I have to say, I have had a great experience here each time. I’ve worked with three different instructors, and while each of their styles are different, they are all high energy and highly motivating. They make you want to work and make you feel happy you went to class. All the staff I have encountered here are friendly and extremely helpful. For someone that is new to spin this is a great place to try it on for size. You can sign up for a free first time class and they even have shoes provided. The studio itself is clean, great lighting and the music has been great each time. I definitely recommend this place!

To put it simply, this place is so pleasant! I just relocated back to LA from NYC, where the cycling studios are on point, and Vie2 is perfectly aligned with those east coasters. Beautiful studio, free shoes, amazingly friendly staff who truly cares about the clients who walk through the door, quality bikes, access to all amenities, free first class, lavender scented towels, fun music, encouraging instructors… What else can you ask for?! And just to reiterate, the staff, are amazing!!! Like little cycling angels :)
My only «complaint» is that it’s not close enough to my house! I don’t usually venture to studios that are too far from home, but when I do it’s to snag a seat on one of these bikes.
You guys are awesome!!!

I’ve taken spin classes all over LA (Cyclehouse, Cyclepathic, Flywheel, Yas) and I am so glad that I discovered Vie2 Cycling Studio! I would put this spin class up there with Flywheel as my favorite spin spot.
I loved the music and it’s awesome that they have big screens that play music videos behind the instructor. Similar to Flywheel their bikes are set up to track your «Energy» score and «RPM». This type of technology is what really keeps me motivated throughout a spin class and makes me push myself. I’ve only taken one class (Josh) and I loved his hip hop music choices. He also did a great job of encouraging everyone throughout the class. I’ll definitely be back!

I have attended two classes with two different instructors at Vie2. My first class was with Andrea and my second with Trice. I enjoyed both classes but worked harder in Trice’s class.
I really love the performance tracking technology at Vie2. I’m fairly competitive and love using the stats to gauge my fellow riders and try to place in the top 3. You get a customized email after class showing you your power, rpm, calories burned, miles, etc. You can also go on the website and retrieve your stats.
I’ll echo my fellow Unilocalers about the space and amenities. The studio is very clean and spacious. I like to have a bit of room between me and my neighbor when spinning and appreciate the space.
Other things to note: cold towels after class, complimentary workout towels, ear plug dispensary in the studio, dark room, good sound system. There is plenty of parking on Olympic and the meters don’t start until 9am. They are doing free shoe rentals for a limited time.
They locker room has a good central air system and doesn’t steam up or get too hot when trying to get ready. Some studio locker rooms I use have poor air circulation making it uncomfortable to get ready for work. Shower has soap, shampoo, conditioner. Bathroom has q-​tips, cotton rounds, disposable razors, tampons, plastic bags for sweaty clothes, astringent. I submitted a comment and feedback card suggesting they add face wash and lotion and saw mini face washes bottles in the bathroom the following week.
I’m looking forward to going back and trying other instructors.

Ahhh… la vie est belle! What an appropriate name because Vie2 is giving me LIFE at 5:30 in the morning.
I have been taking the 6am class for about a week now and I’m definitely addicted. I’m even naturally waking up at 5am and feeling somewhat amped about starting my day on such a positive note. I have a ton of energy throughout the day now at the office.
I almost hope the word doesn’t get out because this is the best kept secret on the Westside right now.
Pros:
Friendly, attentive, and professional staff
State of the art bikes with power-​meters
Personalized stats and summary
Measured stats during class so that you can push yourself and set goals
Great sound system
Ambient lighting
Killer music
Awesome Energy
Fruit and snacks on the weekends
Fancy water station
Easy Parking
Lots of introductory specials
Clean and new
Smells great
Lovey locker-​room area
No pretentiousness (ahem, a Helvetica Yellow and grey studio comes to mind…)
COLD TOWELS: D
Cons;
Absolutely NONE

SPASE is back!!!
If you have not taken a class with Spase, then you have no idea what you are are missing! I enjoy spinning but I have to admit, I prefer other forms of cardio (It might be the fact that I can be a bit lazy), but a class with Spase is sooooooooo much fun. Class goes by sooo fast with Spase and other spinners dancing all over the room. Spase remembers everyone in class and will call you out to make sure you are sweating hard and enjoying yourself. As Spase would put it, «Its happy hour time». You forget that you are working hard and sweating buckets and class is over before you know it and you’re ready for another class.
The studio is a new studio. Some amenities are really cool. I have yet to check out the showers but there are showers! At the end of class, we get nice wet eucalyptus-​scented towels to help you cool off. Not sure if this is a permanent thing but there was OJ and muffins in the reception area for those that wanted to munch. So, on your spin bike are stats which are then e-​mailed to you after class… great way to keep track of your progress. Parking on a Sunday morning was pretty easy and painless. Really, there’s nothing negative to say about this studio. Oh yeah, the studio can be found on ClassPass for the time being as well!

I’m in love with a brand new spin/​cycle gym in Santa Monica!
I came in for my first class and can’t stop talking about it. I took a morning class with Priscilla and it left me completely drenched. It was a great way to start the work day and kept me energized through out the day.
I love the high tech leaderboard that shows you how hard you are working in real-​time, they even e-​mail you a copy of your progress. Lots of nice bonuses such as your able to book your bike online and it comes prepped with a towel, they even come around with cold towels afterwards. Other things: friendly staff, clean, plenty of street parking
I’lll be including Vie2 in my weekly workouts.

Very clean, modern, and friendly studio!
Went today for the first time via ClassPass, and was a little nervous since I’ve only ever taken LAFitness Spin classes before… those are a JOKE compared to the real thing here!
I sort of felt like I was in space or club– dark with colorful laser lights everywhere, and 3 large screens up front. 2 screens tell you everyone’s rpms, calories burned and rank, and the center TV plays sort of inspirational fitness videos like dudes base jumping off mountains or skateboarding through Venice and stuff like that. Sort of nice to focus on when you get in the zone, not gonna lie.
My instructor was super nice and helpful (I didn’t know how to clip the spin shoes in/​take them out or setup my bike. haha), and the eucalyptus scented towel at the end felt like a very luxurious reward after all of that sweating!
Overall, would definitely recommend and I’ll be coming back again!
Parking: there’s some spots out front, but tons of metered parking around.
