The studio had a large “X” on the wall, which had rainbow lighting around it. Riders can book the bike they want in advance online so they can sit with friends or be off in the corner by themselves if they prefer. FYI: the Schwinn carbon blue bikes are compatible with Look Delta and SPD cleats.Īfter being led to the back, I put my stuff away in a keyless locker and headed into the dimly lit classroom that boasted 35 bikes surrounding the instructor’s stage. While shoes are complimentary for the first ride, you can rent them for $2 each time or purchase your own at the studio. I was greeted by a staff member at the front desk where I signed in and received cycling shoes. When I arrived at the studio, the front was clean and bright. I was informed by email to arrive 15 minutes early, wear fitted, moisture-wicking fitness clothing and drink plenty of water. I had never taken an indoor cycling class before and didn’t exactly know what to expect. I was given the task of trying out a class at XCYCLE and reporting about my experience. That’s exactly what it feels like inside XCYCLE, an indoor cycling studio that debuted last week at Boca Park in western Las Vegas.
Picture a Las Vegas nightclub filled with stationary bikes. Ginger Melien, left, and Jen Barnet, the owners of XCYCLE, pose for a photo inside the workout room at XCYCLE at 1050 S.
