Tribe

Great spin studio.
Friendly, helpful staff who can rock a good workout.
The bikes are top notch, with cadence, watts, gear, etc displayed on a small digital screen.

This studio is west hartford’s best kept secret, except for it shouldnt be a secret! As a Spinning instructor I was excited to try the new spin (pun intended) on indoor cycling and this studio didnt disappoint. Janelle and Kelly are AWESOME. Every class, whether there’s 3 people or 30, has so much energy and enthusiasm. The music is always great, and every class gives a great full-​body workout.

World class spinning arena. Started spinning in LSchool for road bike prep/​conditioning — have done it in most major East Coast cities.
Really like Kelly & Janelle’s classes.
This is great after a late night out celebrating/​enjoying all of the rich food West Hartford has to offer.

I really love the instructors at tribe. I can only get into the groove if i have inspiring instructors who play booty shaking music. Jonathan is my favorite spin instructor– he keeps your mind and body busy the entire time. I’ve also taken classes with Richard, who i think is also terrific. My only complaints is the lack of ventilation/​fans throughout the room. it really wouldn’t cost much to put a few fans on the ceiling or against the wall – just do it already. Their prices are a bit steep for me, especially since it’s only a cycling studio. I like to buy rides by the class as I won’t go more than 2x week. If you have the money, it’s totally worth it. Tribe is an outstanding experience.

After about 12 visits (though I missed some check-​ins), I suppose it’s about time I wrote a review. I can’t say enough about this place and 12 visits in a little over a month is proof. The equipment is top of the line, the instructors are TOP notch and make you feel empowered, strong, and excited from start to finish, and the team (or «tribe») vibe makes you give that extra push every time. Yes, the studio is on the smaller side but I say it just makes you feel that much more inspired by your neighbor. It is a spin «boutique” — so you’re definitely paying for the extra effort they put in to the routines and ambiance (both physically and financially) but I feel like I get my money’s worth every time! Kudos to Janelle and the rest of the Tribe team for the most upbeat, killer workout every time. Always looking forward to my next ride with the Tribe!

I just can’t get enough of this place‼ I have never been a fan of spin, until now. I’m sooooo pro spin and such an advocate of Tribe. The staff are always very pleasant and greet you with smiles that are infectious. When I walk in, I’m known by name which makes you feel like you are apart of the Tribe family.
I’ve taken a few classes with Richard and I’m just addicted to his style. He is so
and #awesomesauce. I can’t say enough great things about him. His voice is now imbedded in my head with any workout I do. Hearing «WORK IT… OWN IT!!», makes me work 10x’s harder!
People are quite tired of me bragging about Tribe that now a few have decided to come and check out what the rave is all about. I’m excited or what is in store for Tribe as there is so much potential for this studio and is just exactly what the WeHa community needed‼

This was my very FIRST time trying spin classes anywhere. But, it was AWESOME!!! Tribe’s website is super easy to use and allows you to pay for and schedule classes with the click of a button. You even get to select your bike in advance so you can make sure to always sit where you want. Nice! I signed up for a beginners cycling class online which met on a Sunday morning. When I got to Tribe, there were plenty of team members on hand to help set up bikes to the proper height, etc, which was super helpful, since I was a bit intimidated as a newbie to cycling. Our instructor, Janelle (awesome name!), was really really good. She introduced us to the moves and got us working hard. I never felt like I was being yelled at (I don’t like that kind of «motivation»), but I did feel like I was being encouraged to do my personal best throughout the whole class. Janelle & the pumping music definitely kept the class upbeat and fun. The only drawback is the parking situation — as the parking lot where Tribe is located is limited to only 30 minute parking and the classes are 45 minutes long. No big deal though, as you can easily park for free on nearby side streets. Looking forward to going back soon!

Started going to the 545 am class a couple of weeks ago and have loved the classes. All of the instructors bring a ton of energy to the class, the music is great, and all of the staff is amazing. From the time you walk in and are greeted by the staff, they know your name and make you feel extremely welcome.
The classes are energetic and challenging, but very inclusive to all fitness levels, and the collegial atmosphere always makes me feel welcome, and refreshed an energized when leaving.
Lastly, I have been or belonged to many gyms and it is rare to find a gym with the highest quality equipment and a super clean environment.
I would recommend to anyone into spinning in the area

A great studio with friendly staff! The music is the best. There is no better place than Tribe!

I was super psyched to come across Tribe on Unilocal.I had been missing the «boutique spinning studios» in NYC, and Tribe definitely tries to fit that mold.
I attended Christopher’s class. He had great energy and good music, including a super awesome house track during the cool down. He did most of the class in a «standing» position (out of the saddle) and had lots of upper body toning moves throughout the 50 minute class.
During set-​up, everyone was really available to help set-​up bikes, which I appreciated on these hydro-​bikes.
One thing lacking — I think it’s helpful to be reminded about form throughout the class, especially as those working out are changing position a lot. For example, it’s helpful to be reminded how to put your shoulders or how to orient your feet in the pedals.
I was also a bit irked by the set-​up of the whole studio. The entrance way is cute but way too small to accommodate a finished class and a new class about to switch places into the bike room. Also, the two bathrooms, where you can change, are across the bike room, so you need to wait until the previous class is over to rush and get changed.
Overall, Tribe fills a part of me that I left in NYC, and I am super grateful for that!

AMAZING new cycling studio in the heart of WH center. There is a free parking lot which is a huge luxury for the center. Bikes are brand new and top of the line. They are staggered so you have plenty of space and are not bumping into the person next to you. Registration is online and super easy or you can call or show up at the studio for help. I recommend booking in advance since classes do fill up. Fun music and inspiring instructors. If you have not been — check it out soon!

My fiancé and i have a beginning class at Tribe. We loved it! the atmosphere is up beating. our instructor Janelle was awesome. we were sweating buckets. one of the best work out ever. well definitely come back again.

Fantastic new place in West Hartford Center.
I am new to spinning, but everyone at Tribe was so welcoming and excited to explain how it works and what to expect. Carly, the assistant manager, was very helpful in booking the class and assigning me to a bike– as well as showing me around the studio and what not. The classes are packed– but the instructors still find time beforehand to help you adjust your bike and get comfortable. One of the instructors, Janelle, is super inspiring and enthusiastic, and guides you during the class as to what gear you should be in. The music was the kind that pumps you up and makes you want to work and sweat! The equipment is state of the art, with monitors to track your RPMs, heart rate, calories, etc.
The variety of times of classes are perfect– several in the morning, a few in the evening. I’m looking forward to trying classes from different instructors and seeing what they have to offer.
I enjoyed my first class so much so that I bought a small package of classes.
If you’re looking to get into shape in the new year you won’t regret trying Tribe!

Sparkling clean, stylish, perfection.
Bikes are sleek, comfortable, illuminated bike monitor reflects heart rate (if wearing sensor), RPMs, watts, cals, time, gear. Helpful when instructors like Jill let you know to be in 16^th gear and RPMs shouldn’t exceed 57 – 63 or so.
Music is spot on (lots of top 40), creating synergy, which keeps you going when you’re ready to give up.
Studio is well ventilated and spacious, floor to ceiling mirrors reflect why exactly you’re here (it’s great to see yourself sweat and have a red face). Working out our arms and core while legs keep spinning is genius, efficient whole body workout.
Pricing is affordable and the packages are a steal. Bought the annual unlimited. Complimentary fruit and water cooler at the front during this opening special really makes it feel like a luxury establishment and I couldn’t think of a single improvement.
Amazing instructors, truly talented and skilled. Welcoming, challenging, a gem.
