Spinning

One of the best in the city! The teachers are terrific and the spinning workouts are challenging !!! Highly recommend

I bought a Groupon here to try something other than running for the winter days. I haven’t done spinning in about 10 years. I was a little nervous. But the front desk person was very welcoming and helpful. I showed up and the instructor (Randy) helped me get my bike set-​up. Then the class started. It was well-​instructed, he kept us informed of what we were supposed to do and what was coming up. He even came over and talked to me and the other new person to make sure we were comfortable. At the end of the class he made the other veterans welcome us with applause which was nice. I was pretty sure about 20 minutes into the class I was going to die but I survived and will be back.

I had a Groupon that a friend and I had both purchased to try out spinning for this place. I was a little nervous arriving after reading some reviews on here, but when I arrived it was totally fine.
The space is older/​in a former warehouse, so it’s not very pretty on the outside. It’s pretty small inside as well, I thought I saw only three or four total exercise rooms. I took a spin class, and the machines all seemed in good repair, and the spin room was interesting. I can’t speak for the yoga rooms, but the room I was in was clean enough. We were also asked to wipe down the machines once we were done, which can be left up to the people attending to do.
The instructor was very nice, and very attentive — I had never taken a spin class and she was sure to get me set up and settled in. The prices seem reasonable for a class/​group session setup, and I did enjoy my class a lot. I will use the Groupon for sure, but may just stick to the regular gym. If you are looking for fitness classes though and enjoy spinning, I would definitely recommend this place for the price and nice staff.

I have Groupon to thank for getting my butt into St. Louis Original Spinning.
I called ahead to reserve a bike and was informed the 9:45 was full and was added to the 11:00.
Facilities– Welcome hallway with a yoga studio and a spin room. There are bathrooms and shower rooms with sinks to fill up on water, you will need lots. There are multiple spots to put your things while you are in class. The space is cozy and comfortable with friendly staff and athletes. The spin room has two garage like doors, an open ceiling, a nice sound system, and colorful lights that get you in your zone.
Instructor– Mike was awesome. He introduced himself, adjusted our bikes, and gave us some pointers. His instruction was comforting and challenging, incorporating yoga type breathing and centering practices with rock music playing as a motivational beat.
The class was not intimidating and offered as much challenge as I wanted, just turn the dial for more resistance.
I will be back to again to spin and try out their yin yoga class!

I am SO thankful I found this place due to a Groupon (which is a smoking deal)! I am fortunate to have access to a wonderful fitness facility at work, but there are limitations and I needed a change. Enter St Louis Spinning. The staff was super nice on a busy Saturday morning. The class was full and I was a little apprehensive about the 45 – 50 bikes crammed into basically a large garage — but who am I kidding?! I was here to spin, get my heartrate up, feel my muscles, hear loud music and feed off the energy around me — and I got exactly what I wanted!!! This place is great! I am already looking forward to next class!

Love this place!!! Great instructors and staff… They are friendly and helpful. I always leave feelings like I got a true, hard workout in!

Julie is a great instructor. Her spinning class is upbeat and motivational. The exercise bikes are good. I cannot comment on the state of the bathrooms. Julie does the Spin/​Yoga. The yoga portion is excellent; she knows her stuff. She challenges you, in a good way and help you when you need it.

I got a coupon for 3 free classes here from Yoga Rocks the Park, and I’ve been interested in trying spinning for a while, so I decided to check this place out tonight. It was SO MUCH FUN. I’m a pretty fit and active person, but I’ve mostly had bad experiences with group exercise classes (except yoga, which never disappoints!). It seems like if a class is nice and challenging, the instructor also feels the need to shame participants into working harder. Some people are into that sort of thing; I am most definitely not. This class was a great, challenging, intense workout AND the instructor lit a candle and turned out the lights and was very encouraging and kept reminding us that it was our class and we could do things at the intensity we need to. It was my first ever spinning class, and the instructor was extremely kind about helping me get the bike set up and letting me know what to expect. The woman at the front desk was also very friendly and helpful. It says a lot about a class when you can walk in for the first time and never feel out of place. Thanks for the great workout! I’ll be back! :)

I love this place! The people that work at St Louis Spinning are so friendly. The instructors are driven to help make your hour the best. They really kick your butt!

Whomever wrote that review about the dogs and candy needs to chill. The dogs are what makes it so relaxing, it feels like home.
Obviously some people aren’t dog friendly. The candy on the counter has been there for years. Some people eat it others don’t. It is just a nice touch. If you don’t want it you don’t shouldn’t eat it.
This place is so unpretentious and friendly. There isn’t anything thing out there better.
I have been working out for over 25 years and am happy to be a member here.

Great place to blow off stress on a Tuesday night. Can’t speak to yoga, but come on in for the spinning and you will get one hell of a workout. Tom and Alex are great instructors with a mix of hard rock, electronic and a little heavy metal. If you’re looking for Indian flute music and finding your inner chi, you’ll be disappointed. If you want to work and get a sweat on in a friendly and unpretentious atmosphere, you’ll fit right in.
Plus there’s a candy ajr at the front for a post ride tootsie roll. If you go to spinning class, I would hope you would know the difference between a little after ride treat and inhaling fructose.

I came to the facility based on the reviews I saw online. When reviewers rave about the classes, then I think I can do no wrong.
Here is a breakdown of my experience.
1) I did not take a spin class, I took stability ball class. I was so grossed out, I bailed on the spin class the following day.
2) Water– No filtered water. Bring your own bottle and fill up in the dirty sink or pay $ 1 for your own.
3) The facility itself is a little ragged. Equipment is not that clean. Staff is pretty nice though. There was a lack of disinfectant and towels to wipe down the equipment– Unsanitary In my opinion
4) The owner gossip during the class instead of teaching. Not to mention she let her dogs in class, which one was farting the entire time. Somehow this was funny to the class. Not me, when I am in a yoga pose and a dog’s butt is in my face farting. Quite gross. Not to mention her dogs were shedding on the equipment/​mats.
5) Nothing was wiped down.
6) Inexpensive. You get what you pay for.
7) Last thing, nothing to do with the facility, but with the big bucket of candy at the front desk. Just odd, if you are trying to promote being healthy. Why have a giant bucket of candy at the front desk. Sugar is not healthy.

Saint Louis Original Spinning is a great workout. Whether staying in shape all year around or an alternative for a winter indoor workout, St Louis Spinning works. Best Classes. Best Instructors. Best times during the Day. If you look around, no other spinning business offers this. The classes go quickly. Music is great. They are very tough if you want or you can back off the difficulty. Spinning burns a ton of calories but does not put you out of breath like running. It is the perfect workout. Everyone in Spinning Classes say the same thing: «They cannot wait to get to Spinning after work.» I know the early classes are packed also…

Tried this place twice before making any judgements. Bad desk service. Filthy facility. No music from this decade. Find another place to exercise in St. Louis.

The more I try out other spin classes, the more I come to appreciate St. Louis Spinning! I have not had a bad instructor, and each class is a little different because the instructors all put their own personal twist on the class. It is always a challenging and excellent workout. Additionally, a lot of the classes have a portion that is off the spin bike to follow up like core or upper body strength for 15 – 20 min which is a great way to balance out the workout!
Even though they are located a little further from my house than I like, I keep going back because the workouts are just too good. They also offer a student discount which is great, and it is easy to just pop in when it works for you, you don’t have to sign up for a session of classes or anything, which I like. Sometimes the more popular class times fill up, so it is important to call ahead, and it is a little expensive, but I don’t think its unreasonable. I love to come just to mix up my workouts every once and a while.

Michael is the best instructor — I don’t bother with the classes he doesn’t teach. Love this place!

The more I’ve come back to this place the more I appreciate the grit and grind of it. I’ve really enjoyed Michael’s classes — he really energizes you and pushes you. I’m returning for my second round of groupon-​inspired spinning and may find myself returning after as well! I’ve missed spinning!

I was surprised to find such a «hip» spinning joint in St. Louis. I usually take the Monday evening classes and I’ve been impressed by the atmosphere and teachers. I like that they dim the lights and light candles in the room. Also, the instructors play pretty good music and keep you motivated throughout the class. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

It took me far too long to find a good spin place in STL, but luckily I’ve found my spin mecca. With 40+ bikes, a slew of different instructors and classes this place rocks. Pedal and Pump is awesome and it’s great that you can choose to do the after class part or not (if you want the pedal, but no pump, go right ahead). The space is unique, but every class I’ve attended has been cool (temperature), rocking, and fantastic. There are even hula hoop classes! Who knew?!
They are also running a summer deal $ 60 debit card draft per month of unlimited classes.
Oh, and great private shower rooms!

Oh. My. GOD.
St. Louis Spinning is amaaaazing!
I’ve been spinning for over a year, and I must say that it’s a terrific cardio workout.
If you’re not familiar with spinning, it’s basically a group exercise class. You hop on a stationary bike, you pedal like a mad-​woman (or man), and the instructor tells you when to add resistance (or when to stand, sit, etc.). It’s pretty much the best thing since sliced bread.
So I love spinning. Until now, however, I’ve been spinning at my local gym (YMCA), and the experience was always hit or miss, depending on the instructor.
Enter St. Louis Spinning. I had a Groupon to try 5 classes for 20 bucks (dirt cheap!).
I walked in the place, and like Joselyn said, it’s not a fancy schmancy place. It’s basically in a garage-​like structure. I kinda like it, though. Makes me feel like a badass.
First class: Wednesday afternoon, 4:30pm. My instructor? Julie. One word: WOW! She totally kicked my butt. I’ve been spinning for quite some time, but I’ve never left a class as sweaty and exhausted as I did during this session. I was immediately hooked.
I went to Julie’s Sunday morning class, and once again, it was tough. But this time, she opened the garage doors, so it was like we were spinning OUTSIDE. Thick humidity and high temps. Once again, this didn’t bother me – I LOVE sweating buckets and basically feeling like a badass. But it’s not for the faint of heart. In other words, this ain’t your grandma’s spinning class!
I went to one other instructor for a Tuesday night spin (Tom), and he was good, but not nearly as intense as Julie.
I was really sad when I went to my last Groupon-​covered class. If STL spinning wasn’t so stinkin expensive, I would take all of my classes there.
Alas, I don’t have money growing out of my ass (yet), so back to the Y I go.
I WILL be back, though. They have a 2 hour spin class every month that definitely caught my eye.
P. S. Bring TWO water bottles to class — you’ll need it!

After a very long hiatus from spinning, I was just reminded why I love this place. Spin class at St. Louis’ Original Spinning are my favorite winter indoor workout.
I HATE treadmills. In fact, I almost always prefer to workout outside. However, when its below freezing I let mother nature win and I bring the workout indoors.
If you are looking for a super fancy bright well lit spin class with video screens where you pretend your racing in the Tour de France… this is NOT the place for you. This spin gym is dark, gritty and a bit narley. But this is why I love it. Their main focus is spinning, there is a room with bikes and a room for a post-​spin class like yoga or an ab workout.
If you are a workout masochist, this IS the place for you. The room with the bikes is literally a large garage. In the winter it is cold, in the summer it’s hot. Sometimes when the weather is nice, they open the garage doors of the room and let the fresh air in, it’s fantastic. Wait, i go here even when the weather is nice too? Yes, i do. that is how much I love the workout I get.
The instructors are really what makes STL spin shine. They are FANTASTIC. Each class usually starts with the instructors finding the new faces in the class and seeing if they need help adjusting their bikes. There are a variety of classes and instructors here, each one with their own style. I don’t really have a favorite, because I get something different from them all.
Even though its «just a spin gym» the variety you can get is amazing. I obviously highly recommend this place. If you like spin, or just love getting a hard core amazing workout… go immediately, you will be addicted!
