A little small and that can lead to crowds forming between classes. But the facilities are very clean, the staff is very nice and the bikes are in excellent condition. Highly recommend taking Paula's class if you're a beginner, she's the best to help new cyclists IMO.

I have been coming here for about 1.5 years, I love the experience. Don’t get me wrong it is hard work but so much fun. And the longer you go the more you connect with the staff and the other members. The place is so clean and welcoming. Highly recommend. (Sincerely, a recovering couch potato)

The security personnel of this Soul Cycle have been denying folks entry to the San Francisco Muni Train Station located at Castro and 18th. Soul Cycle has been unresponsive to contact about this ongoing issue.
If you experience or observe anything like this occurring, please contact Muni or 311 and make a report.

I went for the 1st time after having my son two years ago. Kamelle is AMAZING! At 1st I was so nervous to be there but kamelle makes you feel like you just belong. My butt was kicked but I left his class inspired and so motivated. I almost cried tbh. It's been so hard to find a balance after becoming a mom. I'm so happy I took the courage to take a class. I'll be back for sure. Kamelle's class is my new THERAPY. THANK YOU

From the moment you walk in you are greeted by very kind, friendly and always smiling staff that are happy to help. The music is motivating and the vibes are great! I’ve been going to this location for almost a year. Kamelle is my absolute favorite!!! His motivation and inspiring personality will bring out the best in you. He makes everyone feel included and supported no matter where you are in your fitness journey. He truly speaks to your soul and his energy is unmatched! Who knew a 7am spin class would be this fun!

This is my favourite SoulCycle studio. The staff are friendly, helpful and fun and I enjoy all of the instructors. Try a few different instructors as each have their own style, strengths and tastes in music. Great to have the amenities there if you need a quick shower after. Would highly recommend - and go soon as the merch is pretty good right now too.

It took me a while to get the groove of things. But once I did, I fell in love with the studio and many of the instructors. I am obsessed with Joe, Casey, Kamelle, and Devin. Look forward to every class. Worth every penny.

Always a super fun spin class, and a good workout! Special shoutout to Nick and Kamelle, they bring such good energy to their classes to motivate all their clients, as well as reminding everyone to listen to their body and do what they can. The disco ball in the studio is also a fun touch to class! The front desk staff and all clients have been so friendly at this location. Showers are fully stocked and nice for a cool down after class.

This review is long overdue, but I’ve been going to SoulCycle in the Castro for about 5 months now, and I absolutely love it! The staff here are so nice and helpful, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I’ve had a great experience with all the instructors so far, but I especially love Joe’s classes—his energy is contagious, and he keeps you motivated the entire time!

The vibe in the studio is awesome, with everyone in class being so friendly and encouraging. And can we talk about the disco ball? It adds such a fun and energetic atmosphere to the room. The amenities are fantastic as well—everything is always clean, and the place is super well-maintained.

If you're thinking of trying SoulCycle, I definitely recommend the Castro location! You won’t regret it.

This place is awesome! As someone who gets gymtimidation, I definitely felt like SoulCycle was warm and welcoming to newbies. They make an effort to create an inclusive environment where you not only get a good workout, but you also have fun in the process. I’ll definitely make a point to come here regularly now.

We had such a great experience at this SoulCycle location. I spin a lot, so it’s rare to take the time to write a google review, but Castro wowed me so much that I had to. Super kind staff, manager Ashely was amazing and took the time to show us around. Marissa was our instructor- just loved her. Perfect from start to finish.

This place is having a renaissance moment and the instructors and amazing staff are to thank! Soul Cycle Castro is an incredible, welcoming workout environment for any fitness level. It’s a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that takes real investment from the home team to make happen- and they absolutely crush it! Celebrating bdays, ride number accomplishment, learning your name- you feel like family pretty quickly here. Can’t wait for another great year with this crew!

I have never had a class I didn’t like here at SoulCycle Castro! My fav classes so far have been with Jarreau and Marissa, but you can’t go wrong with anyone. Thank you for creating this beautiful space 💛

I have been going consistently to soulcycle Castro for almost a year now and I have such a blast every time I go! I would say my favorite instructor but they all have such fun energy and their own styles and Ive learn something different about technique from each of them. They also have their own unique DJing which really adds to the class. Devin loves his 80s throwbacks, Marissa loves her pop and rap, Joe is a TS bestie, Casey is an Odesza fan, Chris loves his EDM, Paula is always making funny comparisons of weights time like getting off the waitlist at your favorite restaurant and so much more! I’ve been to soulcycle in 4 cities and this is by far my favorite. The front desk is always so nice and helpful. Will keep coming!

I've been going to SoulCycle regularly for 4 years, including riding the SoulCycle at Home bike, but the Castro location is my absolute favorite. You feel welcomed and appreciated the minute you walk in, and they truly take time to get to know you. At the very beginning, I was only going once a week, and within a few weeks, they recognized me by name. It's so lovely to walk in and have them say, "Good Morning, Jaymie Lynn. I have you all checked in, is there anything else you need?"

It's funny to me that negative reviews talk about being asked to put phones away. Are we as a society so tied to technology that we can't disconnect for 45 minutes? Part of the culture is for you to fully engage in yourself, and they clearly outline this policy. They also say if you're worried about a potential emergency, you can ask the front desk to keep your phone and alert you if something comes through. (Which I know the team would be happy to do to ensure you have some peace of mind!)

SoulCycle San Francisco: Where Sweat Meets Sass and Pedals Become Partners in Crime

Buckle up, my fellow fitness enthusiasts, for I'm about to take you on a thrilling ride through the captivating world of SoulCycle San Francisco—a place where sweat, sass, and spinning unite in a symphony of endorphins and empowering beats. Get ready to clip in and embark on a journey like no other!

SoulCycle San Francisco, where pedaling becomes a passionate pursuit and the rhythm of the room electrifies your spirit. From the moment you enter this temple of sweat and determination, you're greeted with an energy that's contagious—a whirlwind of motivation that propels you towards your fitness goals with style and flair.

Let's talk about the instructors, those charismatic leaders who guide you through the physical and mental challenges with a touch of wit and wisdom. They are not just spin instructors; they are conductors of an adrenaline-fueled orchestra, crafting a playlist that pulsates through your veins and pushes you to pedal harder. With their contagious enthusiasm and motivating cues, they transform the stationary bike into a vehicle of empowerment, where you feel the rush of accomplishment with every revolution.

But wait, there's more! SoulCycle San Francisco is not just a workout—it's an immersive experience that engages all your senses. The dimly lit room, adorned with neon lights and pumping music, creates an atmosphere that's nothing short of electrifying. The camaraderie among fellow riders is palpable, as you sweat side by side, sharing encouraging nods and knowing smiles. It's like being part of a tribe where sweat is the currency, and motivation is the language spoken.

Now, let's talk about the workout itself—a soulful blend of cardio, strength, and soul-searching. With every pedal stroke, you feel the burn in your muscles and the release of stress from your mind. It's a cathartic journey, where you push past your limits and discover the strength within you. And amidst the challenging intervals and climbs, there's always a witty remark from the instructor to keep your spirits high and your smile intact.

In conclusion, SoulCycle San Francisco is not just a fitness studio—it's a sanctuary where body, mind, and sass collide. It's a place where sweat is celebrated, where beats fuel your determination, and where every pedal stroke becomes a step towards self-discovery. So, grab your cycling shoes, unleash your inner warrior, and join the SoulCycle revolution. SoulCycle San Francisco—where sweat meets sass and pedals become partners in crime.

I live in SD and my wife surprised me on a trip to SF, since I already do SoulCycle in SD, I naturally had to go to the ones in SF. On my birthday I went to this location and took a class with Kamelle, and personally I think he was the best. Kamelle, I only met you on my birthday for this class, and in 45 mins of knowing you I fell in love with your energy, you’re an inspiration and you have no idea how unforgettable you made my birthday. I will come back and take your classes ALWAYS. I hope you come to SD sometime too.

What a pity that such a great cycling experience was erased in the moment they took my cellphone away. I dont understand this logic and reasoning, what happens if there is an emergency at home? Also, if they are going to take your cellphone away, at least be responsible if it gets stolen right? So disappointing.

The instructor was so supportive of going at your own pace, and he was so pumped. The whole class had so much energy. He incorporated some weights and did a combination of sprints and slower activity. The staff was all very friendly, and the showers are very clean. They also provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser, and towels. Also had hair dryers. Amazing experience!

I have taken 7 classes here during an unlimited into package. All of the instructors and staff here are amazing!! Minus 1 star for the audio system (it’s often very difficult to hear the instructors for some reason during the classes. I’ve never experienced this at other studios), the lack of ride stats, and the extraordinarily high cost. Also, this studio is very choreography and endurance heavy, as opposed to HIIT style… but that’s just personal preference, so I didn’t account for that in my rating.

Of all the SoulCycle locations... this is the one I MOST wanted to see and experience. I’d seen it on Instagram so many times with the pride flags flying.

They’ve got lots of space inside and you really just can’t beat the vibe. You’ll get a solid workout and have fun while doing it. See you on the bike!

It's fine. The changing areas are smaller than at some others I've been to, and really pretty lacking in space generally. I've taken Nikki's class twice but I will definitely try to avoid taking a class from her again. The music was pretty terrible (weird mixes that didn't blend together at all) and I have a hard time understanding her instructions (maybe she mumbles?). I feel bad criticizing a particular instructor because she was very nice, but I just didn't enjoy her class either time.

If you’ve been to Soul Cycle before you know the drill...
However, this studio in the middle of Castro does not disappoint! Unlike any other SC studio I’ve been too, this studio has UV lights and a glitter ball!
This studio offers showers, towels, hair bands, deodorants and hair spray - all free of use.
Spin shoes have to be worn and there’s a $3 charge if you don’t have your own.
If you have a chance to go to Kamille’s class then DO IT!

This location is 25miles from my home (meaning I pass TWO other soul locations just to ride here) but Paula and Tirrell are more than worth it. In addition to the Castro district being a fun and welcoming place; these two melanin rich instructors bring authentic SOUL and HAPPINESS to each and every ride. I HIGHLY recommend booking a bike with either of them 💕
