Flywheel Sports – East 60th

Took a FlyBarre class with Michelle Brugal and I’ve decided that I’m never stepping into this studio again. To start off, the class is located on the second floor; whereas flywheel is located on the third floor. This led to the disgusting stench that wafted through the hallway and studio. The mats used in class did not feel clean, more of an oily grimy texture and smelled like sweat. The workout throughout the class instructed by Michelle consisted of high reps with high weights and no rest, leading to muscle fatigue with little emphasis on stretching. I think stretching is a key component of barre class in addition to the small minute movements. This class was too rough around the edges, compared to other barre classes such as The Bar Method and Pure Barr. I left with muscle fatigue and cramping in more than one area, not to mention the gross grimy feeling from laying on the dirty mats. Would not recommend.

I looooove this flywheel! The staff is fun, energetic, and the atmosphere is very upbeat. The classes are hard, but attainable, so you definitely get your money’s worth! I’ve been to several Flywheels… East 60^th is my favorite.

This is my favorite flywheel location in New York City. It’s always clean, spacious, and it has great instructors. One negative point about this location is that there’s only 3 bathrooms — so if your looking to change before or after class, your almost always guaranteed to have to wait.

So after trying a variety of cycling studios. Overall I like, friendly helpful staff, clean. Stadium style set up. however I don’t get why they want you to use such minimal resistance at high speeds. I’d rather go harder not faster. I feel it’s a waste to just pedal fast without using resistance. If I continue to go I’m definitely doing my own thing

The E. 60^th location is a solid 4.5 but I’m going to round it up because Flybarre is my favorite workout and I love the instructors here.
The studio is on the smaller side, but it has everything you would find at other Flywheel studios — digital lockers, showers, towels, fresh fruit, and free water. Also, the rooms where the classes take place are always cleaned after each class, which is a huge plus since there’s nothing worse that laying down on your mat and finding hairs. The only complaint I have is that there is no changing room, which is a real problem when there are only three bathrooms and two classes starting at the same time.
All the instructors here are great, but my personal favorite is Kim F. She always makes sure to write down everyone’s name and injuries before class, somehow remembers all of them, and constantly calls us out by name throughout class when we’re doing something right or just to give us words of encouragement. She never puts anyone on the spot though, which I’ve experienced at many other studios. The workout itself is always challenging. We start with a plank series, then we move on to doing abs — which is 60% of the reason I come to this class — with out feet under the barre, using resistant bans and small weights. We also do seats, tights at the barre, arm series with a fun choreography called «dynamic arms», and then finish with some ab curls.
The only thing missing from this studio is the amazing Todd Allen, but I’m more than happy to go down to the Flatiron location to take his class.

I love Flywheel! Never thought spinning could get this intensive until I tried this place. They had a monitor that showed your resistance and RPM and that makes the workout more effective for sure.
The instructor Jess is amazing too. She keeps it energetic, fun and challenging! I would come everyday if i could but my legs might fall off…

After moving to NYC in the fall, I was looking for an affordable gym membership. After trying Crunch, class pass, and personal trainers, I was so happy to have come across Flywheel at East 60^th. Not only is the staff friendly and helpful (especially if you’re running late for a class), but it’s a new and clean facility (3 bathrooms, 4 showers with all sorts of products, free waters/​bananas/​apples) Only downside is that it gets a bit crowded by the showers in the mornings.
Alternating between flywheel and flybarre for 4 months now, I have lost significant weight and gained muscle tone –exactly what I was looking to do. It is the perfect combination!
Instructor wise — Jen P, Jess P, and Clinton W are some of the best spin instructors. They have great energy, motivating attitude, and awesome music. For barre, I like Kolina N, Sara H, and Lane H. All of the instructors are energetic, helpful (especially if it’s your first time), and no one judges!
Flywheel has become a significant part of my routine and it is worth EVERY penny!!!

Even though I am in Astoria, this location is perfect, right off the 59^th and lex stop… they have a beautiful facility and even provide bottled waters! I tried the Flywheel class as well as the Flybarre class and can say they are both awesome. If you have classpass or even just want to try them out it is well worth it!

Loved this class and the facilities. Music was fantastic, good energy from the instructor! Love that they had free bottled water for everyone (and shoes!) will definitely be going back.

Love flywheel! This location is very close to public transportation — convenient for early AM classes. Has the friendliest/​most helpful staff. Could use more showers.

Flywheel is great! I have been to SoulCycle along with plenty of other competitors and this blows it out of the water.

Great customer service, no frou frou ‘tude like Soul Cycle. Most importantly, GREAT instructors with GREAT music. Only annoying thing is the location of the monitors on your bike — they are in the most uncomfortable place to look — at the bottom of your bike — when you are supposed to be riding with your head up for good form. Engineering issue. But otherwise, great, high quality workouts and beautiful space.

My first time at this Flywheel studio for an early morning Flybarre Sport 60 class and I thought it was a good location. Very close to the subways, and also fairly clean studio. The front desk could be a little more friendly, but maybe because it was before 7am, there was none of that perky friendliness. The locks are digital and you punch in a 4 digit combination to lock. They also have apples or bananas, which I appreciate for after class. I saw 4 showers and 3 single bathrooms. The co-​ed space is a bit annoying for me wanting to change out of my gym clothes, so you have to go into a WC for that.
All in all, I will be back for another early morning wake-​up workout!

I love flybarre and have been to this location, lincoln center, and flatiron locations. Been taking the barre classes pretty regularly for 6 months and it’s still hard. The instructors here constantly change up the routine and it all matches to each song perfectly. There are rarely any awkward silences between songs when you are still huffing and puffing and told to hold through the silence (those are so painful…). My favorite instructor is Bryant! Always upbeat with a smile, no matter how early in the morning it is. He gives every student personal attention and pushes you to do your absolute best.
The service at the counter at this location has personally been the best I’ve had compared to any of the other locations. I was once a couple min late to class, and one person checked me in while the other quickly went to set up weights, water, and towel next to an empty mat next to the door so after i shoved everything into a locker i was ready to jump right in. I noticed they did this for another women in another class I took, and I was impressed with the great service.

(5 stars for workout, 4 for the studio)
Great new Flywheel location. Before this opened, I attended classes in the UES and TriBeCa loctations. Same great quality classes as ever. The only issue was the crowd. Due to the FlyBarre studio and spin studio being on the same floor, and ongoing simultaneously, finding a locker was pure mayhem. The locker, in typical flywheel fashion, are electronic in which you enter a 4-​digit code. Once I climbed through a web of people, and found a locker, put all of belongings inside, and went to lock it, it didn’t stay shut. I noticed others having the same issue. I just wouldn’t expect that to be an issue in such a big studio.
Anyway, the staff was very friendly and courteous. I could tell they were all excited about their new studio. One cute touch was a white board on which you could write down your locker number. I always am worried that I’ll forget my locker number by the time class is over, so that was great.
As far as the workout itself, it was top-​notch, just as I’d expect from Flywheel. For whatever reason, There was a sizeable percentage of men in the class, moresoe than I’ve seen at other locations. The larger competition inspired me to push even harder. My favorite part of class are the sprints on the Torqboard. These are at 30-​, 45-​, or 1-​minute intervals and really challenge me to pedal harder.
Unfortunately, I used up my Flywheel coupon. Will pop in for a class sparingly. Fun and intense workout.

This brand new studio is fantastic. All of the employees are extremely enthusiastic and want you to have fun during your workout. The classes are great… the 45 minute class really flies. It’d definitely a plus to have brand new equipment, too. You sign in on a tablet and if you were already registered for the class, your free spin shoes are waiting for you in a special cubby with your preassigned bike number. They also have clean showers, complimentary water and bananas. Definitely would recommend flywheel!

Shiny brand new studio 2 blocks away from my apartment, ugh I’m in love!
Flywheel consistently has the friendliest staff with great customer service. I finally got to try a Flybarre class and it’s my favorite barre class in the city. You get an amazing workout here and the small class size keeps it an un-​intimidating experience. Kandace is an amazing, upbeat barre instructor. I can’t believe she can talk and do ALL THE MOVES. I’m crying at all of the last sets.
I wish I could come here every day or just move in.
