SOMATIC STUDIOS - Royal Oak (MI)

Noel Spring Okay so let me preface that not only have I been to innumerable cycling classes and studios in many different cities, I also used to teach indoor cycling classes. Ive been on the hunt for a cycling class in the Detroit area that checks all the (high standard) boxes for me, and Amandas class at Cycle Bar checks them all. ✅ An instructor who matches my energy: I go to cycling class to have a good time and feel alive. Amanda is super high energy, she yells and cheers you on, and most importantly she makes sure i dont feel like a weirdo when Im yelling and singing and having a great time. ✅ Bomb ass music: I could not ask for a better Playlist! No, the music isnt edited. We are adults. Yes, its loud. And Yes I love raunchy rap music with hype beats. ✅ Vibe: everyone who works here is super personable and helpful, and generally the vibe of the community is just... good! ✅ Price: i also pay for a gym membership where I lift and do other classes, so Im not tryna pay for a whole other one. I like that there are lots of options based on how many classes you plan to take. 4/ month is perfect for me, and clocking in at $14 something a class is worth it! Plus if you dont have cycling shoes, they got them there for you. Included in the price. I am so happy I found this studio and Amandas class, its really taking my fitness level where I want it to be, and I have such a fun time doing it. Keep it up, Cycle Bar!

Adam Zielinski At 46yrs old with 0.00 grappling experience to say I was nervous to embark on the Jiu Jitsu journey is an understatement to say the least. After my 1st class in July I was absolutely hooked and have been religiously going 4-5 times a week. Peter Di is an absolute wizard on the mats and he has created a very positive and challenging culture in his gym. His instruction and knowledge far supersedes anything I had imagined. I highly suggest taking advantage of their free introductory week and beginning your own journey.

Emily Ebaugh Im so glad i found Sculpt! As someone who has never been athletic, Ive had a lot of anxiety about exercising around others. The small class sizes and friendly trainers here have made me feel comfortable from the start. Its been awesome seeing how much stronger and better i feel after just a few months! Big thanks to the trainers for their encouragement and for correcting my form so i can get the most out of each exercise (and not hurt myself lol)!

Kathryn Tines Love this gym! My kids got me started. I am 59 years old trying to get in shape and stay healthy. Every class I have been to has had different new exercises. It’s not boring. They push you when needed and help modify if you need it because of course I am older. But I love feeling stronger as I go. Good supportive help from instructors and others in class!

Conny Coon Ive been extremely pleased with my experience at Body Mechanics Studio. I have a lot of physical limitations, and my mat pilates instructor has been so incredibly accommodating from the very start. Her assistance has helped me feel confident in my pilates practice and I feel great after each and every class. I highly recommend this studio!

Nadine Beba I’ve been going to Play Pilates since it first opened in the summer, it’s truly become one of my favorite places! Adthra is an incredible instructor — she really focuses on balance, coordination, and perfect form, making every class both challenging and rewarding. She’s so kind, patient, and encouraging, and she makes everyone feel welcome no matter their fitness level. The studio itself is such an inclusive space with a great sense of community and diversity. You can tell how much care and intention goes into every session. Highly recommend to anyone looking to feel stronger, more balanced, and supported!

Kimmy Great gym for the price but NO AIR CONDITIONING??? Extremely wack. Its a heat wave and the gym has no a/c. My mind is blown

Amanda Kilroe What a find! Orange theory meets all of my ADHD needs- as soon as I think I’m getting bored with an exercise, the coach is there to move you along to another. And the splat points and heart monitoring really feed the overachiever need in me to do better. And the coaches are just amazing. JC is my absolute favorite, sometimes his words are so inspirational, I get teary eyed. The facility is really amazing too, everything is state of the art and I particularly like that there are screens to show the exercises, in case I forgot. All in all definitely an enthusiastic 5 stars from me!
