Maggie was great and the class was fun & challenging. She gave good direction and motivated the class with her encouraging interaction during class.
I also took Korrine she also had a great class.

I’ve taken three classes here and I’m obsessed! I’ve been using ClassPass but might just get a membership! The staff is super friendly, the studio is spotless, and there’s free garage parking for the first three hours. Showers, lockers, and cubbies are available. Yoga Sculpt has become my new favorite workout — 10/10 classes that always leave me sweaty and energized. 🔥

Have taken about five classes in total and what a challenge every time! The heated sculpt classes quickly humble me, but it’s provides the exact workout I need to start my day. I’d say the best 45 minutes to get an impactful working.
The instructors are energetic and bring in the best energy during the early times of the morning.
The location is perfect and parking couldn’t be any easier.

Miranda was great! She gave me tips on how to modify certain exercises due to my lower back issues. It was easy to follow her instructions during class too.

Korinne consistently dreams up challenging (but modifiable) classes with killer playlists. From her cues to her shoutouts to her energy, she brings it all. Really enjoy taking her classes — I always know it will be worth it! Also love the Charlestown location, specifically how easy it is to park (for free!).
PS: I have a disability and this entire crew has been (and has always been since my first class in Southie back in 2013), incredibly accommodating. I only started with the Sculpt class in January but quickly found everything is adaptable (and the wrist and ankle weights they provide are a game-changer for anyone with dexterity issues!!). It’s just a really good time — and I feel so strong and accomplished every time I leave! 💪🏼

My favorite handlebar location in the city!
Classes are always 10/10 and the parking is a huge plus. I always encourage friends to check it out.

Paris had such a welcoming and positive presence from the start of class all the way to the end. Loved this class as it felt like moves were well spread out and we were spending so much time on our wrists . Sounds weird I know but the classes that are wrist heavy really bother an old injury of mine so I loved this one. Just the right amount

Infrared sculpt at HB is my favorite workout. I love the Charlestown and North End locations. Really impressed with my first class from Kristen S! Go to instructors are Paige, Ellie, Heather and now Kristen. Most instructors are fantastic- it just depends on whose style and workouts you prefer as they differ.

I took my first class today and will be back. The studio got super hot which is not always the case with heated classes. The teachers instructor, Maddy, was very informative and I was able to understand all of the movement especially being my first time. I will be back!

I started going to Handle Bar for cycling workouts, but recently tried their Infrared Heat Power Flow Yoga classes to my weekly routine and it has been an absolute blast! The instructors and team members are so welcoming. Parking is free (for the first three hours) in the parking garage next door, so it is easy-in and easy-out! Would recommend for sure!

I've been going to HB studios for over a year now and I've gone from buying 5 class packs to a 4x monthly membership and now at 12x monthly. I just found the Charlestown location or really I just started trying the infrared classes and realized there was a studio 10min from me. Love the classes - fun and challenging. Instructors are dope. Energy in the class is always on point. And free parking garage (up to 3 hours). Drink your water.
And as always, for my anxious girlies (and guys), my detailed anxiety-ridden run down - everyone at the front desk is super nice, so they'll explain it to you as well. Pop inside. They'll check you in where can grab a towel and Bala bangles (sexy version of ankle weights). There's going to be a board outside the room that tells you what equipment you'll need. Throw your stuff in a locker. Pop your shoes and socks off. All set.

Absolutely obsessed! Tried out a few classes with ClassPass and immediately got the unlimited membership with no regrets. Carri, Sara S, and Gabby have had some of my fav sculpt classes so far… great energy and workouts that have been pushing me hard. Love mixing my week with heated sculpt and spin classes :) can’t wait to get even stronger!

Such a great studio - welcoming vibes, clean studio, and an awesome staff. Whether it be your 1st or 100th class, the HB Heat team in Charlestown will welcome you with open arms.
You can expect a great sweat in class with their heated rooms, power flow/sculpt routine. Always great music on and the dark room vibe really helps you to focus on yourself/your workout in the workout. 10/10 recommend to all levels.

I’ve taken 2 classes so far with the same instructor and have enjoyed it. I see it as a beginners vinyasa with heat. Hoping other classes will be more challenging.
The free parking in the garage is clutch. They provide towels and mats, I bring my own full mat towel so I’m more comfortable putting my head down. Will keep coming.

Loved this class- glad the volume wasn’t so high as it can sometimes in these classes be too loud! Ellie was fantastic - most effective yoga sculpt I’ve taken between hotbox and corepower. Tough but modifiable and fast paced. I’ll be taking more of her classes for sure!

Had a great first experience with Monique! Felt very challenged in the class as a relatively active person this target different muscles and the heat definitely gives you the burn! Will definitely be back!

Class was challenging and a whole lot of fun! The instructor did a great job keeping the flow of class by always giving plenty of warning before the next move came up. The 45 min went by so fast. I can’t wait to try another class!

The instructors are truly amazing! They are great motivators and make you feel strong and empowered. You can get out of the class whatever you put into it and each ride is still a challenge for me even after doing it for 7+ years.

Love this studio! I usually go a couple times a week. The staff are great; super encouraging to listen to your body and also to challenge your ride. The space is well kept and parking in the garage is super easy (and free for the first 2 or 3 hours!). There are showers but I haven't personally used them as I head straight home after class.

Excellent workout, high energy and great music during the classes. Small but private use changing rooms and showers, towels provided, and the most convenient parking of all the handlebar locations (3 hr free in the garage attached to the building). Entrance is to the right of the office/lab space that's there (opposite the entrance for Landry's), parking entrance is around the side, though it's only a short walk from the Sullivan square T stop.

So hard to find!!!! Drove all around trying to find the entrance. There was no phone number to call to ask. Then I got there 4 minutes late for a 1040 am and they would not let me take the class. Other turnstyle locations will take you in with a flashlight if you are a few minutes late but for this one I was told that for safety reasons they can't let you in after the class started. I have no idea why this location was different and was not given an explanation which was super frustrating. They offered to let me take the class after but I was coming specifically to meet a friend for that class so I ended up having to sit outside and wait for the class to be over. The staff was nice and credited my account but this was a major fail overall. I took a chance trying out the new location and was completely let down. I doubt I will venture back to this location.
