GritCycle 2nd & PCH 6420 Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, CA 90803

"I went to the 8:15am class on 2/22/24 and the front staff was rude and unhelpful. I didn’t catch the girls name,but the women who checked me in seemed like she didn’t want to be there, she didn’t do a good job of explaining the rules for this location. When let into the class it was extremely dark, and another staff member snapped at me for using my phone to try and find my bike. Again it was very dark, the staff didn’t offer a flashlight or anything, while I was trying to adjust the bike in the dark. The teacher was good, it was hard at times to understand her commands. When I was leaving the staff was talking to themselves didn’t really acknowledge anyone leaving. I am disappointed because I just moved to LB and want to find a spin class. I will not be going back to this place."

"Took my first class at Grit and ABSOLUTELY loved every second of it! Besides Sammy being the best instructor I've ever taken, the front desk staff was also extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!!"

"I've been very much into indoor cycling group workouts. I love the music, the hypeness, the bikes, and just the overall vibe. When I came across Gritcycle I was excited to check them out. They offer one complimentary class which I used. The booking process is easy and is pretty much the same as other fitness businesses these days. When I arrived, I was greeted by the staff and was given instructions and a pair of shoes. Since this was my first time, the shoes were free but are normally $2 to rent. They offer both locked lockers or unlocked cubbies. The bathroom is a regular bathroom offering tampons, hair ties, spray deorderant, dry shampoo. The usual items you see at most fitness spots. I always enjoy the little things like this. Ok, so now, the actual workout. Well, let me talk about the layout of the bikes which I wasn't a fan of. Of course, I was in a bike not facing the front which totally threw me off and made me uncomfortable. I'm not used to cycling not facing the front. Ugh! When you book the bike, it's not really clear what direction its facing. The instructor, Leilani was great and all, but she wasn't riding with us. There were two guys at the front riding and demonstrating, but I feel that I lost the connection with the instructor and then lost the vibe. That was new for me, usually instructors are riding and may come off the bike for a sec then hop right back on. There was definitely a disconnect for me. Now, the bike, I was on bike #5. While cycling, I noticed both shoes would slide side to side while locked to the pedal. I'm not sure if that's how their bikes are designed. But I didn't like that, I didn't feel secure and would get nervous. Also, the top part of the bike where the handles are kept getting unloose. I would have to turn the knob to tighten it during my ride. This happened at least three times. So when we would have to ride up then lower down, the handles would pull back with me. So not only was there a disconnect for me with the instructor, but with the workout and the class itself. I couldn't get my rhythm down or a good flow because the bike was just not it. Super frustrating. I did voice my frustration about the bike with one of the girls who was working there. She apologized and said they'll look into it. Comparing my experiences with Soul Cycle, Sweat Cycle, and Cycle Bar, Grit Cycle is last on my list."

"This newbie took the GRIT 5:30am class w/Jaclyn C. Energetic,motivating, upbeat music, and lighting created a unique experience. Since I am a newbie it helped with a full class and top notch staffers to guide my way around. For me it was a little to hot and not used to it but if getting up out of the saddle and sweating to JayZ then find your way to GRIT cycle with free parking at Whole Foods 2nd level,on the second floor of this business. Sorry no cell phone allowed in the classes but do check our the first class free promotion.GET IT!"

"Grit Cycle is always my go to when it's raining because I'm not able to work teaching tennis. Taking a class with Reina is my favorite always making the 45 minutes worth it and goes by so fast. Before you know it they're offering you a cold towel to wipe off all you sweat and cool you down. Now you're inspired and ready to conquer your day."
