Reinventing the Wheel
Hey Soul Cycle, there’s a new kid in town!
But I hardly doubt that’s new news to them. A former co-founder and instructor at Soul Cycle, partnered up with Tiki Barber to open up her own shop.
Flywheel Sports, a new indoor cycling studio opened this past week.
Before this cold took over my life, I had the opportunity to try out a class at Flywheel. The studio offers a few unique features. Including a TorqBoard that displays various stats about your ride including your “torque” (resistance) level.
But what NY’ers really want to know is how Flywheel compares to Soul Cycle.
Price:
Soul Cycle Flywheel
1 Ride = $32 1 Ride = $30
5 Rides = $160 5 Rides = $135
10 Rides = $310 10 Rides = $250
20 Rides = $600 20 Rides = $450
Shoe Rental = $3 Shoe Rental = FREE
Water = ??? Water = FREE
Each offer other ride packages.
The Studio:
- SC has run of the mill spin studio set-up. The space feels like a badass place to workout.
- FW has stadium seating which is suppose to enhance the riders view of the instructor. The space feels like a movie theater, not like a workout space.
The Workout:
Oh my, its only 10-15 for a cycle class here in Cleveland! Go with the one with free shoe rental and water for sure! Although its always nice to try out a new place.

Very cool but still kind of expensive…in my book! But I live under a rock in the MidWest! HA!
Ride on, sista!
go with the cheaper and tried and true option is my vote
Try the new one for fun! You can always go back to the other. Hope you feel better soon….my this cold hangs on!
NY1 was doing a story on cycle classes and it looked soooo cool…but I am not sure which one it was lol
I have been wondering how FlyWheel was going to compare to SC, thanks for the write up! Fly Wheel seems like is going to have more of a competitive vibe to it which seems so opposite of SC. Have you tried Janet at SC? I am OBSESSED with her, if you haven’t tried her class you really should!
I’ll have to check out her class. Thanks for the recommendation.
