Dropped in while on vacation for the weekend and couldn’t have been happier with my experience! From the front desk to the instructor, everyone was super friendly and helpful. They even decorated my locker with a welcome message when I arrived. Energy for the class was great. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good sweat!

I cycle at CB FM and RN- I love all the class options and times they have to offer! The instructors are super motivating and the playlists are fire! Every instructor cares about how you’re doing and are the most personable people in the city!! The studio is always clean and staff are attentive to what riders need!

I have tried all the spin classes in the River North and Gold Coast area of Chicago, and I can confirm that Cyclebar River North offers the best classes in that area.

This review is long overdue! I took a couple classes at this location earlier this year with Lilly and by far I enjoyed my time. I'm happy to have found a cycling space that provides inclusive spaces and caters to POC. If I come back it's mostly because of her, the music and energy she brings to each class. I have taken classes in other cycling spaces and I can honestly say this is the place that I have felt most comfortable in. I love and admire that she makes room for us POC in these predominately white centered spaces. Also a big s/o to Abbe and Sophie for going above and beyond and keeping an eye out for my car when I was in class and could not locate a parking space.

The downside to this location is the parking space situation and aside from that the space tends to be really cold inside but then again it was winter the the building seems to be mostly all window/glass. The bathroom is not that "aesthetically pleasing" like soul cycle but that's okay Lilly and the music she plays makes up for it lol. Also when I was calling the place ahead of time to speak to someone I was not able to connect with anyone but I later learned that there phone calls are connected to another cycle bar space.

Abby has created such a fun and welcoming environment at CBRN and I look forward to every class, especially Katie’s Taylor Swift Tuesdays! Cycling always intimidated me but it has become one of my favorite workouts thanks to CBRN. Carly, who works at the front desk, is always a friendly face as well! Can’t recommend enough!

They charged me for a shoes rental even though I brought my own shoes. I called the studio twice to get a refund, and they never refunded me. Really sketchy of them

Fine until you try to cancel, and then they are absolutely awful. I have never gone to a workout place that is so horrific with communicating/replying. It felt like they were doing it on purpose to get money out of people. I wanted to find a new spin place and signed up for the first month of unlimited. I didn’t love the classes I did and tried to cancel- they charged my card anyway, did not answer their phone EVER (I called 16 times over the whole day to no avail) and were super rude over email. Not worth the headache for an expensive and very mediocre class. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

I have been going to cycle bar RN for about a year now! LOVE the community Abby and the team has built. The classes are a great full body workout and fun. I feel that my voice is heard whenever I do have a feedback. Pop in for a class, you won't regret it!

Don't recommend buying a class pack, as the time to use it is super short. I bought 10 classes and had 3 months to use them. Unexpectedly, I had to have knee surgery and can't currently bike and they only extended it by one month, which I still cannot use. I had to e-mail multiple times for a response. Also- be careful joining a waitlist because if you get added overnight, you will have to pay a $15 fee to cancel ALONG with a class credit. I emailed to get this reversed- no reply. It's clear they only care about money and NOT health or their clients as they could have easily extended my pack for 3 more months due to a medical condition beyond my control. I also shared this experience with someone who used to work here and they were not surprised by any of this.

I absolutely love coming to CycleBar River North. Every class is packed with fun music, challenging choreo, and enthusiastic instructors. I leave feeling like I got a great work out, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Before my first class the staff + instructor made sure I felt welcome by offering me a locker with my name on it and taking time to set up my bike properly. Since my first ride I've come back countless times and have been met with the same welcoming, encouraging, and fun spirit every time - from staff and fellow riders alike. In particular the owner, Abby, has made my experience the very best. She has gone out of her way to make sure that the community is positive + fun for everyone while also catering to individual needs. If you're looking for a cycling studio that has it all, you'll find it at CycleBar River North!

Today was my 2nd class and my overall experience was amazing. Katie was an excellent instructor, she spent a moment with me before and after class to help me get the most out of the class. Sam at the front desk actually remembered me from last time I came and worked with me to ensure some of my feedback from last time was resolved. She made sure I was on a bike that allowed for full range of motion and since I’m between shoe sizes, she gave me 2 pairs to go in with so I could find the right fit. I am very impressed at the level of customer service and makes me feel more inclined to come back. Thanks!

This is by far the best cycling place I have ever been to. The classes have consistently been a perfect mix of both a fun and tough workout. The instructors are all so energetic and consistently deliver a challenging workout with great music. The studio is clean and the front desk staff members always make me feel so welcome. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great workout in Chicago!

All good until you try to cancel. They keep charging me after canceling and it’s impossible to get a call back. Not worth the headache and the amount that they will eventually charge your credit card.

I am beyond happy I found Cyclebar River North. The rides are an incredible workout and exactly what I needed to complement strength training and start shredding for the wedding. The team is absolutely amazing. Abby (the owner) is so sweet and thorough with your membership. The environment is welcoming and motivating. There is zero gym intimidation here, they truly act like a family. I am yet to take an instructor I haven’t loved. I planned on only joining for a month, but now I am a member for good :)

The heart and love coming from the staff at CBRN is what sets them apart from other downtown gyms/exercise studios.

Stopped by from out of town during a holiday trip. Was not familiar with the establishment but always willing to try new things. Was surprised that the owner was present but incredibly thrilled at how welcoming she was. The instructor was helpful, encouraging, and fun as the work out progressed. Music was upbeat and perfect workout music. Will definitely return if I can! Highly recommend! 5/5

I was looking for an alternative to another cycling studio I had been going to. I thought I'd try CycleBar River North because it was close to my house. I had no idea that such simple criteria would lead me down a path to friendships, a community, incredible fitness goals and finding even more love for studio cycling than I already had.

For my first class, CycleBar was offering a bogo where you buy a class get a free class. After attending twice I knew this was the place that I wanted to be a part of. They have a lot of class options but I chose an unlimited monthly membership (something not offered by that *other* studio). Even their individual classes are cheaper than the other place I used to go to.

I have not looked back.

I have made friends here. I enjoy just hanging out afterward with staff, instructors and my new friends . On some nights there's free wine and beer after class, what's not to LOVE about that?! I regularly work out at a training studio (strength training/cross training) and CycleBar River North provides me with my cardio fix.

I started going here a couple of months ago and the changes in my body and my level of fitness have been incredible. For years, my "goal weight" has been that unreachable number -- you know what I mean? That "so close! Just five more pounds" thing. Well, two months at CycleBar has delivered for me. My unlimited membership and my dedication and LOVE for the people that teach there, work there and go there have all helped to make it happen for me.

I could not be happier. With myself. And with my choice to join CycleBar River North. It's my happy place, my escape, and my place to sweat and I'm so much healthier and happier because of it. I could keep adding to this review. If you're still reading this? Stop. Click on the website and join me on a bike (I'm usually on #10 or #11) ;)

I can't wait to meet you. :)

Having been a member at Equinox and having tried other fitness classes around Chicago, I will say that this Cyclebar is by far and away the best cycling studio in the area. The instructors are energetic and keep you engaged the entire ride, and management does a great job of keeping members happy with differently themed rides, special events, etc. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking to switch things up and try a new workout experience.

This place is the by far the best. They asked what my fitness goals are — I told them it’s to be able to eat as much pizza as I want without gaining weight — thankfully (for myself and my girlfriend) they’ve been helping me achieve those goals every day. If that’s not a reason to cycle at this studio, I don’t know what is # results 10/10

I’ve always been one of those people that bounced around various studios in Chicago... until Cyclebar River North opened. I’ve been with them since the beginning and joining as a member has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The community here makes you feel at home every time you walk through the doors. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful...you never feel alone here! The instructors are so fun and inspiring. The playlists are always amazing and I always end up looking up their playlists when I leave because it’s so good. Joining this studio has been worth every penny. Fitness is always worth the investment, but this place has been more than worth it. I’m so happy the owner, Abby, decided to open this studio. Places like this aren’t easy to find!

This is my absolute favorite cycle studio in the city! We've hopped around to quite a few other ones and luckily found this one right as it opened. The staff and instructors are AMAZING and extremely supportive of your individual progress. No other studio greets you with a smile, celebrates your successes and cheers you on with a glass of wine or snack after a long day. I'd recommend this studio to anyone -- whether they're just getting into cycling, or seasoned pros. The instructors push you during class to hit a new PR , but also offer modifications for new riders (or if you're just tired). If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!

Obsessed with this studio and all of the staff. I have never been a part of a work out studio that is truly a community! I went from working out 1-2x a week to 4-5 because I always feel welcomed and loved here. I feel so much better physically and mentally due to this team. The owner is incredibly fun and will do the classes with you- tons of new member deals also!

I joined CycleBar River North during their opening not knowing what an incredible community I was stepping into. It’s only been a few months, and the sense of inclusion and empowerment are phenomenal. I’ve seen noticeable results in my own fitness goals, and many of the members and studio leadership have turned into close friends along the way. They challenge and support while providing the accountability I needed. The studio owner, manager, and instructors go out of their way to make you feel included, and they find new ways to engage the surrounding River North community. Wouldn’t change a thing and I’m thankful to be a part of this CycleBar family. Check it out!

I feel so lucky to have found cyclebar river north! Not only is the location amazing to stop in for a class before or after work, the staff from the front desk girls, the instructors and even the owner are so welcoming and foster the best fitness community. Looking for a gym/space to exercise is hard but CBRN made it EASY. Fun, upbeat, challenging classes made working out enjoyable again. So happy to be apart of the community
