JoyRide Indoor Cycling Studio

I am a huge fan of Joyride– The workouts are intense, the playlists are kick-​ass, and the energy is intoxicating. The only negative is the instructor, Alison. Watch out for her. I took her class recently, and she is absolutely insane and enjoys calling out particular riders to embarrass them in the middle of class, only because they are in the front row and in earshot of her. Meanwhile, the back row goes unscathed, because she can’t see what they are doing. She screams in the beginning of class that if you have a cell phone, she’ll throw you out, and she curses like a truck-​driver. I understand some people may like this sort of thing, but I would rather someone be my cheerleader and role model, than pointing out all the negative while you are trying to follow the class and are out of breath. If you have a problem with someone’s way of doing something, Alison, then talk to them and show them the proper form when the class is over. While I will never take any of Alison’s classes again, the rest of the instructors are awesome and I would highly recommend this amazing workout.

This is a great spinning studio. The classes are upbeat with wonderful energy and fun music. Their combination classes that include body weight resistance training are an awesome way to change up the work outs. I am hoping they just keep adding more classes!

Love this place! I went on a groupon during the winter, and was so impressed! I wasn’t expecting such an amazing experience. The space is tucked away in the shopping center, and once you open the doors you’re transported into a motivating, energetic space.
The instructors are awesome, the class amazing, and every bit of it is motivating. Gottta get my butt back in the saddle soon!

This biking studio is awesome. I just reviewed Westport and feel compelled to review Darien as well.
When I walk in with my spandex custom «JoyRide» outfit I feel like «King of the cycle studio».
It really motivates me coming here and I never found any exercise to motivate me before.
The stadium arrangement really lets you steal other people’s energy!
Little tip… Introduce yourself to the instructor so you can get «shout-​outs!»
Make sure when you see me here «shout-​out» my name!
