Rhythm Ride - Calgary

2 year update: THIS STUDIO IS STILL AWESOME! Rhythm Ride has been a life changing experience for me. I’ve just completed my 100th class at Rhythm Ride and needless to say I have a pretty good idea of what this studio is like. The studio itself is immaculate. There are high standards and meticulous protocols for cleaning and the studio provides a safe space to workout during COVID. There are dividers in between each bike and the bikes are also well spaced. It is mandatory to have a mask on at all times unless you are riding. The studio follows all requirements for COVID. I started coming to the studio before COVID and I can say whole heartedly that it’s not only the meticulous COVID protocols that brought me back into the studio after reopening. This studio, the staff, the instructors....it’s the environment and vibe that hooks you in. I’ve been to many studios around Calgary but Rhythm Ride is on a different level than the rest. RR is a judgement free zone. This studio offers a SAFE and INCLUSIVE space for all riders, beginners to advanced, for all body shapes, and for any point in your fitness journey. The staff and instructors actually take the time to get to know you, say hi, and make sure you feel comfortable in the studio. I have had the pleasure of connecting with some of them outside of the studio and it’s blows me away how much they care, check in, and take the time to encourage you. There is no fake, elitist vibe here...at this studio you are part of a real, down to earth community that actually cares for your well being. This is unmatched at other studios. I have done rides with every instructor at this studio and they are all amazing. Don’t worry about which instructor you’re signing up with because you’ll get your workout in with all of them. There are also no mirrors in the spin room...I found this odd at first at most spin studios you’re staring back at yourself. But I quickly learned that RR doesn’t care about how you look BUT rather how you feel during rides. And believe me, as your journey with RR goes on you’ll notice positive changes, not with just how you look but more importantly how you feel. Real results? I’ve dropped 75 lbs and lowered my resting heart rate from 87 to 54 in 10 months with this studio. A healthy diet and this studio was all I needed. I’ve also had the opportunity to organize a private company ride here. The owner, Ray, made sure all the needs were met and my co workers had a blast. Highly recommend this experience for those looking for a social company event that follows COVID rules. I’ve basically written an essay here but when you love something this much even this many words aren’t enough. If you’re looking a safe, inclusive, down to earth studio this is the place. I promise you won’t regret it. PS: Tip for parking for those who aren’t within walking distance - usually ample parking along 18th avenue (free for classes after 6pm) or google map “Missao Parkade” and you’ll find a paid covered parking lot (3$ at the time of this review).

I love the curated playlists and custom remixes. The videos are such a great distraction while you’re getting your ? kicked. Great workout and great instructors!

Did my first spin class here and loved it! Brooke is a great instructor and the staff were so friendly and supportive. Can’t wait to come back!

The crew at the studio is incredibly welcoming, inclusive, and friendly. I have tried different studios in the city and RR is such a fun and unique experience that I’m committed to coming back. I love the energy, the music, and the opportunity to ride with so many different instructors and riders!

Coming from someone who had never done a spin class prior to September 28th (and now goes at least 4 times a week), Rhythm Ride has to be one of my favourite fitness activities. I was pretty intimidated as spin studios are known to be a bit cult-ey/elitist, this is 100% NOT the case at Rhythm Ride. The studio is so welcoming and inclusive. The instructors, front desk staff and Ray, the owner, are so approachable and truly want you to have a pleasant experience. The studio takes Covid-19 and cleanliness standards very seriously. I love that there are no mirrors so you can really just focus on your own ride. I thoroughly enjoy all of the different instructors' classes - they know how to bring the energy, teach a great workout and seem to enjoy themselves as well! If you have been thinking about trying Rhythm Ride or even a spin class in general, I cannot recommend this studio enough!

Hands down the best spin studio in the city. The staff are always welcoming and helpful; the art there is a vibee; the music and choreo--two thumbs up; but most importantly it's owned by someone who puts their heart and soul into the studio. You can clearly feel how passionate Ray is about making Rhythm Ride a community of diverse individuals who feel 100% comfortable in their own skin. Not only that, he mixes up his classes so that they're new, fun, and exciting, in addition to remixing the music (which is fire btw)! Couldn't be happier with this studio and I hope it thrives.

Rhythm Ride is spin heaven! The people who work here are warm and welcoming, the studio is clean and unique in it's dope decor, there's great energy from fellow riders, and every instructor that teaches here has RHYTHM. Unlike other spin studios in Calgary, the instructors can keep the beat! Every class that I've attended has been a challenging, yet fun, workout. Highly recommend!

They really try their best and I hope they can succeed! Great music and friendly instructors. Ray def hypes up the class especially when he pulls out the drums. Choice of music is always good and the themed classes are always fun. Just a minor suggestion though - itd be lit if there could be some cold lemongrass towels after the class for our faces. That would feel amazing.
