Group fitness classes are always on trend, whether you’re being a Pilates princess or dancing in Pure Barre classes. Indoor cycling is no exception. With an emphasis on being beginner-friendly (and keeping motivation high with a powerful workout playlist), cycling classes are more about focusing on the workout rather than suffering from “gymtimidation.”

Originally founded in Boston about two decades ago, CycleBar has quickly become one of the largest and most coveted indoor cycling classes. Now, there are over 200 locations worldwide, including numerous across the United States and several international studios located in Canada, Australia, and Japan.

Designed for a variety of levels — ranging from first-time riders to more seasoned cyclists — CycleBar delivers a dynamic cardiovascular workout, including seven different class types to choose from. Beginners can turn to Foundation, an all-levels class focusing on the basics, while those in a time crunch might opt for the 30-minute interval-based Xpress class. The Classic ride includes incline challenges, with a focus on strength and endurance. For an energizing boost, Empower is designed to emphasize strength and mindset, while the Connect ride features dancing, drills, and speed changes. The Strength class incorporates 8- and 10-pound weighted bars, while the Performance class is designed for those motivated by a group challenge. All CycleBar classes can be modified to adjust to each individual’s fitness level.

How Much Does CycleBar Cost?

CycleBar is a franchise, and the overall pricing structure can vary between locations. To get the most up-to-date pricing information, contact your closest CycleBar location using the Find a Studio Near You page on the brand’s website. Each studio location has a separate page on the CycleBar website, and you can scroll down to find membership pricing details and packages for each location.

A CycleBar brand representative said that single classes are $25 and up, and the precise cost will depend on each studio location. As an example, a single, drop-in CycleBar class will cost $25 at the uptown Minneapolis location and $29 at the CycleBar studio in Berkeley.

CycleBar monthly memberships ($69-$199) also range in price, and CycleBar offers different membership options depending on how many classes you prefer to take each month. Here’s a closer look at the breakdown of the CycleBar membership options:

Four classes a month ($69-$99, depending on location): This is a simple way to mix in CycleBar classes throughout the month.
Eight classes a month ($119-$159, depending on location): Once you’re ready to build on your foundations, eight classes a week is a good way to continue to develop your skillset.
Unlimited membership ($159-$199, depending on location): If you’re completely hooked, an unlimited membership gives you the flexibility to take a CycleBar class whenever you’d like.

Memberships automatically renew each month. Depending on the policy of each individual studio location, there may be late cancellation fees or member cancellation fees. Some CycleBar studio locations offer introductory offers (like a three-pack of classes for $39 for new riders at the Minneapolis location).

Can You Try a CycleBar Class For Free?

Yes, many locations offer introductory trial rides to try out a CycleBar class for free before committing to a membership. Exact introductory offers may vary. To find a free pass or start a free trial for CycleBar, visit the website to find a CycleBar studio near you.

Can You Take CycleBar Classes Online?

CycleBar is part of Xponential Fitness, a global franchise of fitness brands including Club Pilates, Rumble Boxing, Pure Barre, StretchLab, YogaSix, Row House, and AKT. You can access virtual classes on-demand from CycleBar and other brands through the Xponential+ App ($30 per month or $120 annually, after a seven-day free trial). To sign up, you can join directly online or contact your local studio for more information about joining.

Are There Any Other CycleBar Costs to Know About?

Each CycleBar studio has cycling shoes available, and a shoe rental fee may apply starting at $4 and up, according to a brand representative. If riders prefer to bring their own, they have to be Delta clip or SPD clip compatible.

There are also CycleBar gift cards ($10-$1,000) available online.
