With pops of orange and a serious sound system, this Leslieville studio's ride displays RPMs stats, distance, and speed for some friendly competition in the class. Your performance stats are then emailed to you post-workout so you can track your progress.
5 - Spokehaus
This CityPlace studio offers a high-intensity, dance-inspired 45-minute class where you're mostly out of the seat doing the signature Tap Backs and Figure Eights. The change rooms are outfitted with Malin & Goetz products and Clean Reserve perfume.

The high-energy workout is done in a dark, candlelit room with arguably some of the best playlists and most well-known instructors in the city. Each ride at this Ossington studio is designed to tone the core, arms, and legs through a series of smaller bike movements. After your workout, pamper yourself in the spacious change rooms with products from Aesop.
