TidalWheel

It’s super clean, ALL the employees are super friendly and upbeat, there’s tons of lockers and space to change, etc. It’s a lot of fun, and the music is great too.
The only thing I don’t really like is the class is basically a constant barrage of different push ups or movements that in many cases have nothing to do with cycling. I’ve read that some of them are actually fairly inefficient in terms of calorie burn, also, so it seems like they value getting breathless and sweaty (i.e. feeling like you got your butt kicked) over proper form/​technique and calorie burn.
Overall, it’s a fun class, a very positive environment, and I’ll probably come back on my trip. If I lived here, I want them to at least one class a day that was more of a «real» ride as opposed to a SoulCycle-​esque sweat session.

Are you one of those folks that enjoy getting your ass whooped? (I’m asking in the best way possible.) This is the place for you. Talk about a work out that will get your entire body rockin’.
I attended a spin class yesterday for a friend’s birthday and I had a blast. I hardly ever sweat when working out and I broke within the first song.
— Walk inside and check in.
— Get your shoes. (Cycle shoes make a difference!)
— Change if you need to in the shower/​restroom.
— Lock your stuff up in the lockers.
— Spin away in class.
A few things to add. Music is great. I really do have two left feet, even on a bike, so I just pretend I’m on beat with everyone else. Don’t be cocky with the weights. It’s difficult holding them over your head the entire time.
The instructor we had was a very friendly and motivating young lady. She was energizing the entire session with our group. Very pleasant to work with her.
A definite must try and if you’re a gym rat like me, a good change up in your workout regimen.

Coming from the DC area where indoor cycling/​spinning has really become popular with SoulCycle and other smaller studios opening– I have taken my fair share of of spinning classes and I am very particular about a studio. From instructors, to the class setting, to lockers– everything about TidalWheel was fantastic. I took a 12:00 class on a Monday and while there was less than 10 people in the class, there was more energy in that room than spin classes I’ve taken with 50 people. It’s very clean and full energy. I left sweating and with an incredibly red face from the superior workout I had. I look forward to taking many more classes at TidalWheel!!!

First time at a spinning studio that only does spinning! What a fantastic full body workout! I’ll definitely be back! It’s kinda expensive but worth it!

I’ve been going to TW for about 6 months now and I recommend it to anyone. I hate working out and wouldn’t consider myself to be athletic by any means but TW has kept my attention. The classes are intense– a 50 min session burns between 500 – 600 calories for me. The instructors are helpful and energetic, the music is usually fun and it’s nice to workout in an intimate class setting. (About 30 bikes). If you go to 12 or more classes/​month it makes sense to get a monthly membership. I just wish they would offer a 5:45am class ;)

I am from Virginia Beach, but live in San Diego. I am so happy to have found TidalWheel when I was home for vacation! I have been doing Soul Cycle style spin classes in California and I am thrilled that there is a similar experience in my hometown. The instructors and music were great. The classes are super energy filled and go by so quickly. It is worth the high cost because you will become hooked and it will motivate you to get a workout in. The only complaint, and it is minor, is that the bikes are not as good as the ones I am used to. The bikes I use in California have screens that show you your resistance level, RPM, and calorie counter. This place would be PERFECT with these bikes :)

I joined Tidal Wheel after asking my sister how her legs had gotten so amazing. She’s 44 and has the legs of a 20-​something. Well, Tidal Wheel has now gotten my body back to what it was in its 20s (minus the C-​section scars & belly due to 3 kids — LOL). This is the hardest and best workout I’ve ever done in my life. It isn’t just about riding the bike, either. They add weights and your abs are getting a workout too, due to the moves you do WHILE spinning! You’re literally drenched in sweat when you leave. If you want the BEST workout you’ve ever had, you can’t lose with this place. And the instructors are friendly and really push you to your limit. The only drawback for me is it’s a bit pricey compared to a «regular» gym, but WELL worth it for the results.

Best Cardio workout the instructors are fantastic & knowledgeable I look forward to every class I take Great Workout!

I remember my 1^st class a little over a month ago and how happy I was to have found the studio — since then I have barely missed a day! Tidal Wheel is unlike any workout you’ll ever do and your body+mind will thank you after each class.
I have had my share of really good cycle classes in NYC and ATL and can honestly say the instructors and energetic environment at Tidal Wheel beat them all. One perk that you’ll rarely (if ever) get anywhere else? Spin shoes are part of your class price! No extra rental fee!
So if you’re seasoned or even a newbie looking to try something new, I dare you to take a class and not get hooked!

Lets get straight to the point– Tidal Wheel is an intensely effective workout and the most fun you will ever have on an indoor spin bike. Recently coming from California, I am used to these sorts of «boutique» gyms that offer specialized services with a modern twist. Since moving back to VA, that is the one thing I missed the most and have dreamed that VB would catch onto. I think it’s great that this area is becoming more health conscious and Tidal Wheel is the next best thing! I’ve attended 3 classes so far and without a doubt plan to go back. Most classes are 50 – 60 minutes long but go by soo fast that you won’t believe it. They provide you with shoes that snap into the bike petals and you spin in a dimly/​relaxingly lit room to beat of Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, or Carly Rae Jepsen. (Or whatever other music the instructor chooses) Basically, you’ll feel as if you danced those calories off! The only thing that keeps me from giving a 5-​star review is the price… although I feel that I can justify paying $ 17 for a spin class here and there, I know many people in the area cannot. However, when it comes to your body, you get out what you put in and it is well worth it! Maybe we can convince them to offer a «check-​in» deal? ;)
