Flywheel

Flywheel

The only thing that may be more difficult than an instructor excitedly yelling at you to tap it back before you’ve even had your morning coffee, or to feel the beat when the only thing you can feel is your heart beating out of your chest, is getting a spot for one of SoulCycle's free “Community Rides.” While the high end studio may justify $34 classes (plus shoes and tax) with the opportunity to sign up for weekly free rides, members are more likely to end up on the wait list than a bike; instead, try Flywheel. With high tech bikes that allow riders to track their progress and even compete with other cyclers, Flywheel allows you to reach your fitness goals and also pay your rent. Complimentary shoes, a student discount, 10 New York City locations, and a free first class allow members to enjoy a boutique experience, without the boutique price tag.
