My daughter and I visited Wilmington and are OTH fans. We thought this would be a fun way to start a day and it was. While we thought we were going to die the first 15 minutes, Bevin's attitude was contagious! We absolutely loved it and wanted to get in the next day, but we were leaving and the schedule was too tight. We both said that if we lived in Wilmington we would join because that was fun! It wasn't just exercise it was Recess! Side note, my daughter's foot came undone and she was having trouble getting it back on the pedal. Bevin saw and came right over to help. I do not know a lot of instructors who would do that.

Best place to ride a bike that goes nowhere! We love the “everyone is welcome and accepted” values, we crave the fun and great music, and we thrive in the community. So thankful for this space where we’re reminded that life is meant to be fun!

As someone who never stuck to a consistent workout routine in her entire life, starting at Recess was one of the best things I’ve ever done. Not only have I gone consistently for a year and a half now, I look forward to it, I love the energy that every instructor brings, it is truly more of a community full of support and love no matter how you show up. They’re just happy that you showed up at all. Ten stars out of five would be more appropriate 🩷

So much fun! Everyone in the studio was so kind and welcoming- even at 5:30 in the morning. Samantha Ray's class was challenging and energizing but I never felt like I was out of my depth although it was my first time ever taking a spin class.

Recess is a very welcoming and exciting place to be. Every time I leave, I feel energized, happy, and appreciated. The instructors are amazing and very motivating. I love seeing the instructor’s favorite playlists posted on their Instagram story because it really shows how Recess values community, plus it motivates me to book another class :) I truly enjoy every visit here and don’t think cycling is the same anywhere else.

I wanted to take a class here for a while but I was nervous i wouldn’t be able to keep up since I had never done a cycle class before. I finally did it and it was so fun! They helped me set up my bike and answered all my questions. The class was hard but you can still go at your own pace. I really wish I had just done it sooner! I have gone to 3 classes now and will def be going back.

I took a class this past Sunday and loved it! The staff was friendly right when I walked inside the door and they kept their facility clean. Bevin had great energy and even made sure my bike was setup properly for the best experience. During the class she was very inspirational and motivational, I left feeling great after a good workout. Loved her music choices and her choice to make the class challenging but attainable.

Recess is a hugely supportive environment. I have met several friendly people. Full transparency, my first class was not so much fun because I couldn't keep up. Thank goodness I went back a second time. Now I can (mostly) hang and I love the community. Very professional staff and excellent space. Glad I found it!

I started going to Recess at the beginning of the year and immediately fell in love with it. It’s not only a place to get a good workout in, but also a place where you feel welcomed and loved. I’ve met so many amazing people who have turned into friends. All the instructors are great. They each have their own way of doing things and no matter who you ride with, you will definitely leave feeling energized and ready to start your day. Recess is seriously the greatest thing and the people make it even greater! Love love love Recess!

I’ve been to two classes now, and absolutely loved it! My first class was with Bevin and my second class was with Samantha. I’m not a huge workout fanatic, so I was a little scared to cycle for a full 45 minutes, but they both provided such an encouraging and positive experience, I’ll definitely be back. The new studio is beautiful, and the staff treat you so well.

I go to college here and wanted to try something new and active! I saw Recess on @whatsupwilmington’s instagram story and thought it looked so fun. I usually am scared to try new things but I was like what the heck let’s do it.. so I did this morning! I went to the 9:30 class and LOVEDDD it- the staff was so kind, especially Bevin herself, and the environment felt very welcoming. I will definitely be back and encourage everyone who isn’t sure to TRY IT! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷

Recess offers an exceptional workout experience that goes beyond fitness. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring, creating a supportive atmosphere that motivates you to push your limits. The workouts are dynamic and challenging and SO FUN. What sets this place apart, though, is the sense of community and kindness exuded by both staff and fellow members. It's more than a gym; it's a place where you feel valued and empowered. Recess combines great workouts with an even greater sense of belonging, making it a must-try for anyone seeking fitness and genuine human connection.

I wanted a good workout while on vacation. The class was amazing! The instructor, Samantha, was so inviting and helpful as it was our first time attending a spin class. Wish I lived closer to come more often. I will definitely keep this on my to do list for future visits to Wilmington!

An absolutely incredible experience! Recess has been on my radar for quite some time, and I officially decided to give one of their classes a try. I had an amazing time and will definitely be returning for another class in the future.
When I showed up, I was extremely nervous (hello gymtimidation). It had been awhile since I had taken a spin class and I knew I was a little rusty. I walked up to their big white tent (this class is outside which is also a unique experience!), and was greeted by their friendly staff. They introduced themselves, gave me a pair of shoes to wear, and told me a little bit of what to expect. They used the phrase, "it's like a party on a bike" and they were not wrong! I walked into the tent and was met by the class instructor, Michael. He immediately introduced himself and calmed any anxiety I was feeling. After walking me through the bike basics and talking through some details of what to expect, I felt ready to go.
The class was incredible. The class theme was "Taylor Swift vs. Miley Cyrus" and as a longtime Swiftie, the playlist could not be more perfect. Michael's energy was contagious and motivating! It might've felt like a party, but it was certainly a serious workout. I thought I would feel this workout in just my legs, but this is a full body workout. Another call out was the occasional dance move or fun question Michael would ask participants. This kept everyone engaged and excited for what was next. I will say --- this is unlike any other spin class I've ever taken, and I will be recommending Recess to every person I come in contact with.
If you're looking to try something new, find a weekly regular spin class, or change up your fitness routine, check out Recess. Don't let your nerves keep you from taking one of these amazing classes. I feel confident that these classes are for anyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Bevin Prince has created and provided an amazing experience for the Wilmington community and if you're a local or just visiting you should add one of their classes to your schedule. Thank you Bevin, Michael, and the rest of the Recess team for the reminder that movement is fun and to play.

Fresh air, fresh vibe and -oh my goodness- the coaches *bring it out of you*!
This is the class to block out everything, and just listen and go.
Extra love for cycle and flow! I’ve only been to one class but it special; loved having the extra stretch at the end.

I’m a huge OTH fan so attending a Recess cycle class while I was on vacation in Wilmington was on my list! All of the staff was so friendly and helpful in getting me set up for class. I took Samantha’s Cycle and Flow class. The music in the cycle portion of class was fun and motivating. The flow portion of class was relaxing and felt so purposeful. I wish I lived in Wilmington so I could go to Recess every week! This will definitely be part of my workout routine on my next vacation to Wilmington!

I am 60 yrs old, and a mom of four. I haven’t worked out except walking in 10 years. I can’t tell you how nervous I was going to the class. Bevin showed me everything about the bike and shoes without me looking like an idiot. She has everyone go at their own pace. If you want to follow Bevins speed and pace that is great but if you don’t or can’t that is great too. She is an amazing energetic instructor. I just love her and her classes.

Invigorating, cathartic, FUN!!!! I went into this class clueless and nervous. Bevin and Samantha made me feel very comfortable and helped me to get set up, and my nerves went away quickly. Please dont let being inexperienced with spin keep you from trying this! Its such a non-judgemental environment I am so excited to incorporate these classes into my workout routine & grateful for the opportunity to do so!

There aren’t enough amazing things to say about Recess. Bevin really has gone above and beyond to make the playground an all
inclusive, welcoming environment to everyone at any fitness level. I had very little cycling experience when starting and it has quickly become my absolute favorite. All of the instructors are wonderful, encouraging, and very personable. I look forward to every class!

Hands down, best workout in Wilmington!
I've been coming to Recess since April 2021 and I was hooked from the first class! Warm, welcoming environment where everyone is a friend. Awesome instructors, fun theme rides, and wonderful charity rides that help give back to our Wilmington community.
Don't be intimidated to give it a try... Recess is about having a good time while getting your body moving. The instructors here are some of the best I've ever had (even better then many of classes I attended in NYC) and they will make sure they set you up for success. Come visit the playground!!!
