Great atmosphere and instructors. Loud and fun moves on the bike. Definitely not a typical spin class.

Went to the new Northside facility today… I’m just glad the first class is free, so at least I didn’t waste any money. It was AWFUL! I’ve been to a lot of spin classes at many gyms… wow, I’m glad this wasn’t my first exposure to spin or I’d be turned off from it forever. The instructor was ridiculous. I’ve never seen/heard such a foul mouthed fitness«professional.» Every other word was profanity. Does she think that motivates people or something?! Exercising should leave people feeling positive and uplifted. She created a trashy atmosphere. And was spewing facetious philosophical nonsense half the time. Like she was on drugs and/or trying to lure us into a cult-like club. The room was HOT! It started out way too warm, and got disgusting from there. Makes me think they crank up the heat so everyone will sweat more and think they burned a boat load of calories. Nope. Not how it works. I saw fans in the corners, but they were never turned on. They cram bikes in there like sardines — so other’s sweat get flicked off onto their neighbors. Ew. Ridiculously overpriced. Stinky construction going on next door. Bikes had no screens/monitors…so you don’t know your RPMS, overall mileage, nothing. I don’t know how a place like this gets members when there are SO many better options nearby — The Fitness Center, the YMCA, Muv, Phyzsque… even Snap Fitness is better!

The Union is an ultra modern facility in downtown Spokane for spinning and yoga classes. Black light, glow in the dark, EDM music spin class. High intensity yoga. You will sweat, you will be sore, and you will feel great. Lots of good, loud, music on their speaker system to motivate you. I visited for my first class this weekend and it was free to use the spin shoes as well as visit the class. Get there 15 – 20 minutes early for the instructor to help you get properly fitted on your bike and to get your shoes on. They provided mats for the yoga portion of the class. I left feeling energized. They say on their website that it’s yoga with a club soundtrack and spin with a light show. They are not lying!

The best gym experience. My husband and I loved to take these classes, 45 minutes and you burn a ton of calories and leave feeling energetic

What an awesome studio! Between the black lights, sweet techno and house music that I love combined with a sweaty challenging class led by an enthusiastic instructor I will return here every time I’m in Spokane. Namasta-tic!

Not from Spokane but here for work. I’m from SF and I love my spin class there, soul cycle. I wanted to find a spin class here and I found the union. I was really happy and went to a few classes here. Everybody was extremely nice and friendly. Every teacher is different, some are hard, some are easy, and some are holy shit. That also applies to their playlist… But over all I was really happy. The pricing was great. First class free with free shoe rentals and every class after that is only $ 15 with $ 2 shoe rentals.(I pay $ 35 for all that in CA) so I was pleased. I think it’s great to see something like this in Spokane, it’s a great way to get in some sweat blasting cardio!

We went this morning to the yoga class and the music was way too loud and not appropriate for yoga. We felt accosted by the house music in a setting that we expected to be peaceful and rejuvenating. In fact, it was quite the opposite, being rather stressful. If we had known going into it that the yoga class would be playing such loud club music we would have gone elsewhere. However, I can see it appealing to a certain demographic, but might be limited to that demographic only. I will still go and try the spinning class, loud music would be good for that activity and I love spinning. UPDATE: I went to the spinning class and it was wonderful. The music was very loud still, but it was appropriate for the setting. It pumped me up! I sweat a lot and the instructor was very skills and strong! I now know that I do love The Union for spinning but not for yoga. It is wonderful venue for Spokane to have and for me to return to for a spin class.

Walking into the Union I immediately knew I discovered a place I was going to love. The space is clean, cool, and welcoming. The receptionist was friendly and gave us a little tour! The first class I took was a yoga class. The yoga room is beautiful with great natural light. The classes are warm — but to a nice temperature that stays consistent(I never had a heater blowing on me which I find super distracting). The room is on the smaller size but there was a nice amount of people with plenty of room to spread out. They set a limit on the number of people that can sign up so I would assume it would never be too crowded. The class was a great power vinyasa flow. The pace was good — you kept moving but never felt rushed at the expense of form. I felt like I had a great workout! They play music(mainly electronic/pop) which I love. I find that the music helps me to focus so much more! I also took a spin class which was also impressive! The teacher was very friendly and helped me setup the fairly complicated bike. You have to use the clip in bike shoes which you get for free your first class or 2 dollars from then on. If you haven’t tried clip ins before they completely change your workout! You get a lot more stability plus it works your hamstrings with the pulling motion. The music was great and upbeat. And the teacher had great energy and lead the class through a full body workout. It definitely reminded me of the soulcycle classes I have taken with the movements and overall vibe of the room. Oh and there is a parking lot and it is very easy to get to! The signup is very easy online. And the first class is free! Plus it’s so great to see the buildings in that area repurposed. They have really helped improve the whole neighborhood. Overall I highly recommend both the spin and yoga classes. I will come as often as I can!

Kelly’s morning power yoga class was awesome. Great sequences, loved the adjustments, and shes got great Spotify playlists that she was kind enough to share. 5 stars for sure. Loved that the 1st class was free & so is the 1st spin class. Union recently opened. Everything is clean & zen here. Free parking is a bonus

Roy’s Top 5 Things to Know: 1. This place is CLEAN. From the reception area, to the restroom, to the classroom, to the bikes, heck even the shoes you can rent, all kept in great condition. 2. Great motivational playlists, went to Nick and Allison’s class, music is loud, they provide earplugs but not loud enough where I couldn’t here them or bothered my ears. 3. My class was under a black-light which just added to the overall vibe. 4. You can go at your own pace, the instructors will tell you when to turn it up but you’ll never be called out if you need to slow down a bit. They’re also helpful in getting you to set up your bike properly and will give you time checks just in case you need to get back to work if you attend a class during your lunch break. 5. It’s a positive, high energy environment where you’ll want to push your limits here and get a great workout.

Joined a friend for a class here and SO wish I lives in Spokane to enjoy this gem! They offer hot yoga and spinning. We took a spinning class with Jill H. Pluses: The music is great(loud – earplugs are free if that’s not your thing) The black lights and dim lighting are fantastic for decreasing the self-consciousness that comes with sweating through your shirt FREE first class and free first shoe rental to try it out(at least, that’s the special as of this writing) Online class enrollment Friendly instructors help with bike set-up: come early Great filtered water dispenser Clean and hip environment – feels like a Seattle studio! Minuses: I don’t live in Spokane and can’t throw my money at them. Bummer. Great place!
