I miss Swerve. I wish they rebounded after Covid instead of selling to that gym.

I'm not sure where else to provide feedback on the new Swerve format so I'm doing it here. I have been a Swerve rider for many years. I loved the community. I LOVED the unique competition and team based rides. I loved to see the scoreboard and metrics on the screen at the front of the room. I loved getting to know the other riders and instructors. It was ALWAYS exciting to show up and aim for a new PR. As life has gotten back to normal post-covid, I have felt like things couldn't FULLY return to normal until I was swerving in studio again.

This week I have been using a week trial package at Crunch so that I could try out the new Swerve format. I am extremely disappointed in what it has turned into. The aspects that made it fun and unique are gone. Although you are spinning "head to head" with other locations (I was at Union Sq and there is also a 34th street studio), there is no competition aspect. The virtual instructor is live with you and can see metrics, but they are not visible to the riders. There is no "Swerve to the beat" where you're working as a team to get more points. The pushes/sprints do not show the head to head competition score. The only thing on the screen is the instructor and count down timers for sprints. There is no community feel in the room and it's impossible to feel connected to the virtual instructor even though they call out your name and encourage you.

This feels like it has turned into Peloton. But we don't want Peloton. We don't want virtual classes in a studio. We want the team and community and competition. After my trial week is over I will not be participating with Swerve anymore and I am sincerely very sad about it. I will cherish the memories and friendships I made from the studio.

It was my first time spinning and I was sure what to expect. One word...😮!

Club like studio plus an enthusiastic instructor with great music all equated to a good sweat with a great crowd.

Can't wait to return. Still sore though✌.

I took a cycling class once many years ago and swore never to do it again. My friend convinced me to try a class here and I wasn't crazy about doing it but I tried it. This is a place I would go back to again. It was challenging and I am not good at swerving to the beat but the instructor kept everyone motivated to move. Overall I felt like it was encouragement vs pressure to move my butt. Best of all my legs were still working after the class. I actually felt rather great.

I want to love this place and I like the class itself, but the bike is super uncomfortable. The seat is hard and apparently my arms are too short because even on the closest seat to handlebar setting available my arms were stretched at a weird angle for the whole ride. I know I'm short (5'1"), but I've never had this problem at any other spin studio.

Spinning is not normally my preferred workout class type, but I had a great experience in my first Swerve class. The gamification / team atmosphere and metrics kept me pushing my hardest for the entire session. I also appreciated the free shoe rentals. They also have a smoothie bar (though it was not open during my 7:30pm class), showers, and a generously sized (for NYC) locker area. New users get 2 classes for the price of 1.

If you're into spinning with club music going on in the background then this is a fantastic place. They have smoothies and lockers and the instructor was great. With all that being said, this was my first time spinning and I didn't like it that much. My friends who I went with and have spun before seemed to think it was great, so I'll defer to their opinion.

I really like the energy of the instructors and the fellow riders of Swerve. When there's a malfunctioning bike, the instructor address it before class, which is different than other I have attended. Also, I really like their music selection!

A strong, athletic workout with amazing music and heart pumping energy. Finally a NYC boutique studio that has built an inclusive and supportive fitness enviornment. Studio is always clean, filled with friendly staff and awesome boutique amenities.

Taking a class at Swerve feels more like you're in a club with the best music and a team spirited atmosphere. Jason is energizing and motivating, his music makes class fly by. I feel challenged every week. This is an addictive workout!!
Staff is friendly, 3 showers in the girls locker room. Can be busy in the mornings but everyone is polite in sharing the limited hair dryers and space. Book early as certain instructors fill up fast. I love the theme rides!

2 stars due to the fact I booked a class for 6.30pm, I entered the premises at 6.29pm, it turned 6.30pm when i approached the front desk and the rep ( i think (mary kate) informed me my bike was given to somebody else.That somebody else was standing right next to me and didnt even get her shoes yet. I was pretty outraged by the way it was handled especially that I have never had any issue since I started the classes which I have been enjoying so far. However, this specific matter tarnishes my appreciation of the service.

Wow! I am impressed.

The Class - Its a team race packed with tons of sprints ranging from 20 seconds to 1 minute long (in my class). There are three teams, Red, Blue, Green in which accumulate "Swerve points" basically some custom power evaluation. (Why these places don't just use Watts, I'll never understand). Over the class there are sprints & rhythm sections where each team can accumulate points. The team with the most points in the end will win at the end of class.

The Studio - A juice bar, a few tables, $1 spin shoe rentals (mandatory to have spin shoes), lockers (which do not require locks), showers.

The Spin Room - Quite cramped and very hot. The heat definitely added to the toughness of the class. There are a couple fans located around the room, I would definitely recommend getting a bike near there.

Bonus : The instructor gave out M&Ms.

Swerve is a really fun workout. The working in teams and the competitive factor really motivates you to work hard. The free cycling shoes is a definite plus and the juice bar is nice as well! You can even order your smoothie before class and they will have it ready for you when you're leaving!

The BEST spin studio in NYC. I waited so long to write my positive review because I was hoping to keep this studio my secret, but the experience is just too amazing. You get to ride as teams and as an individual. The metrics and scoring keep me motivated and coming back. I always leave super sweaty. All the instructors are fantastic. My personal favorite is Andy because I hit a PR every time. Dyan has the best tunes! Don't forget to try to smoothies here because they're very good too.

This place is pretty awesome. They have taken the classic spin class, added weights (like most places) and then added team competition. Unlike Flywheel where you compete individually there are 3 teams and your scores as a team are put up on the board. You have real time races in class multiple times also. Additionally at the end of class you see your own numbers, privately and the studio also sends you an email with all of your ride stats including calories burned and your rank on your team and the class. I liked these extra features and felt less singled out because of the team atmosphere.

This is a great class! I am sort of new to spin but have been trying out a lot of studios and this is place is tops. The instrutor was encouraging without being cheesy. She had great music, lots of Trina! The team divisions and sprints really makes you go the extra mile on your sprints. I didn't get to try the smoothies but the selections looked great. I will go back.

Studio needs some ventilation... Dark and smelly. But a good workout. Fun in a corporate setting, the team based spin is great.

As a cycling instructor who has been to every spin studio in NYC and beyond, this gym offers a solid class and legit workout. The difference at SWERVE is the team-based riding that puts each rider on a team and shows stats on the screen throughout the class. This really pushes me to ride to the best of my ability and the competitive edge really makes the class exciting. Because of their technology, you are able to see on the console if you are hitting the numbers the teacher is asking for and they email you your stats right after class to see how you placed against both your team, and the class overall.
