I came here because my stepdad and I were looking for more cardio than our yoga pilates class earlier this week. I am a soul cycle fan. I know flywheel is a competitor but I figured what the heck? The studio and facility is big. I found myself comparing everything to the Palo Alto soul cycle studio I frequent. While flywheel is bigger I found it to be not as clean: including my shoe rentals: smelly. The classes are 9 dollars cheaper which is nice and I would try the barre class as an alternative. The class itself was good. The instructor Matt was very helpful and nice. The torque board was interesting. The music was all east coast rappers so I loved it. I prefer soul over flywheel. Soul is more about the music and being a part of the pack. Flywheel is about competition and staying on target with the torque board , which was motivating but I didn't get the same meditative feeling I have during soul. Either way, it was a positive experience. The staff are very helpful and welcoming.
