I took Lauren’s Sculpt class for the first time, and it was amazing! Her energy is so motivating, and the workout was challenging in the best way. I felt pushed to my limits but in a way that made me want to keep going. Lauren’s guidance and encouragement throughout the class made it a fun and empowering experience. Highly recommend her class to anyone looking to challenge themselves and get results!

Sophia’s class was everything and more! My friend and I are visiting town and needed a good workout and handlebar more than delivered. Sophia was so sweet, easy to understand, and she brought the energy! Wish we lived here so we could go back everyday!

Lilli is an incredible instructor! Her class was upbeat and fun with the best playlist. She kept the energy high with great flow between sets. I like how she encourages you to customize your workout with whichever weights work best for you, making the class open for different levels of experience too . I’ll definitely be taking more of her classes and highly recommend!

I had my first Sculpt class EVER this morning at 7:30AM and it was ELECTRIC! Instructed by Stacey - the class was upbeat and well-paced, even for a beginner. The group in the room was great too! I had a tremendous sense of pride at the end and I'll be back. Definitely recommend taking Stacey's class.

Had my first HB Heat and Sculpt class today!! It was definitely intense as someone who is a beginner to hot yoga. I had to step out for a bit during the class due to the intensity of the heat combined with the workout but it felt SO good afterwards. I had Lauren as an instructor and she was so sweet today!! When she had technical difficulties with her mic she handled it so smoothly and professionally as to not disrupt the flow of class too much. Love her energy and encouragement!! Will definitely be coming back next time she teaches

Incredible heated sculpt classes, provided mats are comfortable and the equipment is all there for you. I recommend bringing a yoga mat towel as it does get very warm during the classes!

I love the South Boston and Charlestown locations!! These studios have by far been my favorite in the area. The SCULPT classes are my personal favorite. I always get the BEST pump and I’ve taken so many classes, but the instructors always find a way to keep it interesting with new variations!! I can’t wait to keep going back!

Classes I’ve attended (yoga sculpt, strength):
- now ONLY offer infrared classes - so you can’t take these classes if you’re pregnant or have any medical conditions
- they allow people to walk all over the mats with outdoor shoes on
- space wasn’t very clean, they didn’t seem to care if people actually cleaned their own space either, most weights were not wiped down
- music and instructor were so loud it all came out as muffled
+ instructors I’ve taken have all had a ton of energy and seemed to genuinely like what they were doing, staff was super nice at check in too, although the area is really cramped between classes

I have been absolutely loving this new Hotbox concept!! If you have not dropped in for a class, do yourself a favor and do so, ASAP! The classes are heated by infrared light. I've always loved hot yoga but the other hot yoga classes around Boston are dry heat and often times get too hot for me. The red lights are perfect and such an amazing feeling on your skin. 10/10!!!

Absolutely love this new Hotbox rebrand from the Handle Bar! They now offer heated flow and sculpt classes and provide all the equipment you need for class. Mats are already set up for you and you can reserve a spot which I love because typically in yoga style classes it’s first come first served for your spot in class. So convenient! They also use things like resistance bands and bala bangles which adds a nice challenge to class. Such a great addition to the Handle Bar offerings!

I've been going to this studio for about 5 years. I've had other lifestyle changes, but cycling has helped me lose 50 lbs. I go to the Kendall Square studio and the staff there is so friendly. It can be intimidating starting a new class, but this group welcomes new participants with open arms. Classes are fun and not to mention an unbelievable workout. My favorite teachers are Courtney, Jessie K, and Mary. (Amy is wonderful at the front desk as well). I definitely recommend checking it out if you are into group fitness classes! Great vibes!

Amanda McClure’s class on Saturday’s at 9:15 is the perfect start to my day. I just love that she has a song before the last song where we just vibe and take the whole song for ourselves. Really therapeutic to take a second to pause and be grateful in our busy lives. Also love the work Handlebar does for mental health/recovery and raising awareness. Had to buy the “I Care About Your Mental Health” sweatshirt as soon as it dropped.
You guys are really amazing, and now that I know there are fellow BPS teachers behind the front desk I just love ya all more :). Thanks so much for all you do!

Intense workout! Don't underestimate the 60 min classes—kicked my a**! My first HandleBar experience. Staff very welcoming. Loved how Danelle got off halfway through and walked around the room really pushing each one of us. HandleBar could use more lights / effects to motivate but overall great studio and look forward to going back!

The Handle Bar is the best spin studio in Boston! Your experience starts as soon as you walk in the door with friendly faces to greet you! Then get ready for a great ride with top notch instructors!! The music is current, the choreography is solid and you're gonna need that towel to wipe your brow!! I can guarantee you will leave feeling strong, confident, and ready to tackle anything that comes your way!!

Went here for the first time and got a good sweat in. Staff were welcoming and the workout was solid. The studio and workout is pretty on par with other studios but at a more affordable price.

I signed up for a trial class at the Fenway location when they first opened and I'm happy I gave it a try. I purchased a pack of passes and I'm looking forward to using them over the coming winter months. The classes I've attended have been about half full, so it doesn't feel overwhelming or packed, and if you have questions about setting up the bike the instructors are their and able to help you. The music is loud and inspiring, and the air conditioning and fans inside the studio are helpful to keep you from overheating since the room isn't very large. The classes now have shoes built into the price, so just shop up early and get set up, you'll have a great time and a rigorous workout. My only complaint is that for people who don't live in Fenway, it can be very difficult to find parking nearby.

I never thought I would ever do spin class in my life. However, they opened up one in Fenway and I went to a free class. Afterwards I felt completely energized and rejuvenated. I bought a package of classes and have gone a few times since then. It's a great way to push through a long week or night and get out all the toxins while increasing your energy for the day. I love the EDM classes that Lena teaches and Cara as well. It has good music, club like feel with the dark class room and colored LED lights that help you pedal up those hills. I'll definitely be going a lot this winter when I can't bike outside. The staff is also very nice and helpful!
