Cyclebar

Working at CycleBar was a very positive experience. The work environment is fun, energetic, and low-stress, making it enjoyable to come to work each day. I received a promotion, which shows that hard work is recognized and rewarded.

CycleBar is a small, close-knit facility, which makes it easy to communicate with the owner or regional manager. They are approachable and open to suggestions, though as part of a corporate umbrella, there are some limitations on changes you can implement. The team of instructors is exceptional, creating a positive, motivating, and high-energy atmosphere. They make you feel like family. 

The facility itself is beautiful, and simply being in the space is uplifting. The role involves making a lot of phone calls, which is typical for a sales-focused position. The hardest part of the job was just getting the word out without a local marketing company supporting. 

Overall, CycleBar is a fun, supportive, and professional environment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a rewarding role in fitness.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great training program for instructors and their business model for success is on point.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If managed well, there is no stress in working with the company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Corporate is always available. They hold weekly meetings and 1:1 time to make sure your club is successful.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily walk through to make sure night crew picked up/cleaned up, return calls left in vm, checking daily appointments, making calls, checking in with instructors teaching that day, meeting with staff to preparing for show appointments and goal setting for the day on new contracts, closing the deal - role playing, welcoming and working through cycle classes.  Cleaning, phone calls, new contracts, repeat for each cycle class available/daily.

I've been an instructor for nearly 2 years.  The team of CycleStars is pretty close, largely inclusive, and we generally have one another's backs.  We enjoy encouraging each other and helping one another grow and improve.  

The lead and concierge staff are fairly transient; very few stick around this particular studio long-term.  

The owner is not stable and creates a toxic, abusive environment.  She burns through managers and CBX, and it's never her fault.  She has been openly verbally abusive to many staff members, and speaks inappropriately often.  If you remain friends with someone who is no longer on staff, her feelings are hurt.

The biggest challenge is that I think we all believe in the brand, and we enjoy WHAT we do and HOW we do it, we just do not have the support of ownership and we're never sure what each day will bring.

At my location we had classes from 5:30 am-11:00 am and 4:30-8:00 ish and we would come half an hour before the first class of shift and as soon as you finished cleaning after the last class. I worked at a brand new location that struggled with finding customers and a lot of classes didn't have very many people in it which made the work less busy since your work is based on how many people are attending classes. Our tasks included, folding towels, doing laundry, cleaning the bikes after every class, help customers clip into and set up their bikes, cleaning the shoes after each class, and overall cleaning the studio. When there weren't that many people going to classes we had almost nothing to do so it got pretty boring fast. Overall though it was super easy and a positive environment to work in, you also never have to pay for classes if you are an employee.

I would not recommend working at this CB location. I applied through Indeed & got hired fairly quickly. Training was brief. Management was rude, didn’t really help or encourage me if I had questions, talked about me blatantly in front of me with the owner after I worked a couple of shifts. Looking back, they made it very clear quickly that I was not wanted there.   I was trying to be a good employee but they made me feel horrible about myself often. If I was doing something wrong (I was new, only worked there a couple of weeks and the shifts were only a couple hours, and I was sent home often) the managers never addressed it with me, instead they told the owners and the owners told me to step down. I’ve never felt so horrible about myself in a work place than I did here. All of the employees are women, and they’re all extremely petty.

fun place to work. You can work out and get paid at the same time. You meet lots of like minded people who enjoy fitness and exercise. On a typical day you wash and dry towels and place them on each stationary bike for the next class, place cycle shoes in cubbies for the next class, make sure studio is clean and neat including bathrooms, lobby, locker room area and cycle theatre. Promote the franchise and brand by doing community events. Greet riders as they come into the studio. Answer any questions or concerns that they may have. At the end of shift (if working evening shift) take out the trash. Help the instructors with anything they need. Assist riders to get set up on their bikes. Help riders to purchase packages/memberships and/or merchandise. Other duties as assigned by management.

Working at CycleBar has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I was welcomed into a supportive and energetic team that truly values each member. The management is approachable and genuinely cares about our well-being and professional growth.

The work environment is dynamic and upbeat, making each day exciting. The facilities are top-notch, and having access to the latest fitness equipment is a definite perk. The training and resources provided ensure that everyone is well-prepared and confident in their roles.

One of the best aspects of working at CycleBar is the sense of community. The camaraderie among staff and the connection with our riders create a positive and motivating atmosphere. It’s fulfilling to see the impact we have on our clients’ fitness journeys and to be part of such an inspiring community.


Typical work day at cyclebar Fayetteville was doing daily task. Making calls to set up first time rides. Managing member accounts and deal with customers services. It was a clickish environment so the culture wasn't good. Management was unprofessional. The hardest part of the job was trying to get the staff under me to follow sales protocols that were set in place by the corporate team before I even came aboard. Everyone was just allowed to do their own thing. The most enjoyable part of the job was actually dealing with the corporate team who eventually made a visit to the studio to check compliance and to make sure sales protocol was being followed. 

Culture was amazing. Loved managing my staff and developing strategies to move the business forward. As a GM, you handle a lot of the work and have to be ready to help out or problem solve at a moment’s notice. It’s a great place to learn how to efficiently and effectively manage a business to catapult you into your next career move. I had great owners but make sure that you can assert yourself and make your thoughts heard with any ownership you are going into business with. I got lucky but some don’t.

A typical shift was simple and easy just all about customer experience. Management was awful and unprofessional but the rest of the staff was always wonderful and inviting and made my job so much fun every shift. The hardest part was making sales at times it felt as tho that’s all the owners and managers cared about above the actual riders. But I loved seeing women of color come in and thrive and find enjoyment in fitness when before they walked in they never thought was possible.
