Ride is fantastic - the instructor team, the vibe, the variety of classes - all of it! Kristen has really created the perfect place to work hard, recover, and find community in this gorgeous new space. Highly recommend!

Ride has the best variety of classes that I have found in the area. Spin for cardio, plus yoga and barre and strength and boxing and boot camp. I love that I can mix it up so much with one membership. My favorite are the combo classes where I can get that variety all in one workout. The instructors are amazing and the vibe is very welcoming. I remember being intimidated to try classes that were new to me, but there is never any pressure and the instructors and other class goers are always super welcoming and inclusive!

The whole team (attendees, instructors & trainers, and the odd bachelorette party) make Ride what it is - fun, energetic, supportive, and an a**-whooping. You have to live in your body your whole life. Why wouldn't you do everything possible to keep it healthy, and have a sh*t-ton of fun while you're doing it?

I recently took a class at Ride Indoor Cycling and it reminded me why this place has such a loyal following. First, Kristen, the new owner, is incredible. You can tell how much she cares about the studio and the community around it. I took Emily’s class and it was exactly what I needed. Great music, a challenging ride, and the kind of energy that pushes you while still feeling really supportive. Also, LOVE the new location! If you’re in the area and looking for a workout that’s both motivating and fun, Ride is absolutely worth checking out.

My daughter and I were visiting Stowe for a short vacation and attended a Monday evening spin class. It was a great experience. Easy to book, appreciated the loaner shoes, quality bike and Joanna was an excellent leader.
