Joyryder: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Tried spin for the first time ever at Joyryder at the recommendation of a friend and I can see why they love it there so much! It's a beautiful studio in a convenient location with terrific, friendly, and talented staff. The instructor (Katina - awesome!) took special care to explain everything to me and checked in, and cheered me on during class. It was heart-pumping, group fitness fun with fabulous motivational music and encouraging people all around. I recommend it for people looking for an exuberant exercise program that feels like a personalized dance party with great friends surrounding you. Thank you!

I love each and every person there, and cannot thank them enough for the joy they bring to me and everyone else who comes for a killer workout. If you’re curious, sign up for a class, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: There is no place like joyryder! An insanely fun and intense workout in an inviting and encouraging environment. I had never been to a spin class like this before and I’m pretty sure there are non else that even compare!
Fantastic experience: One of the best cycling studios I've been to - instructors are professional, smart, and fun, facilities are super nice and everyone is always accepted. Great music and a great, thoughtful workout.
Fantastic experience: LOVE this place! I was in search of a fun/ challenging workout and Joyryder offers so much more. Welcoming, positive and fun owners and instructors, great classes, incredible sense of community, top notch equipment/ facilities/ cleanliness... if you haven’t clipped in for a class, go now :)
Fantastic experience: My happy place in Asheville. Amazing classes, instructors, and they give back to the local community often. Sorry to see non-locals (who haven’t even taken an class) giving a poor review on here because they decided to visit our city during a pandemic and a local business, trying to survive, disturbed their peace after 9am.
Positive experience: If you are on the road looking for a workout, this is the place to go in Asheville. The crew is welcoming. The studio is clean and organized. The people at the class we very friendly. Plus our instructor Aaron took the time to put together a rock star fun work out. I will be back. Thank You guys.
Fantastic experience: At Joyryder, you can always count on an intense workout with expertly designed playlists. But their secret sauce is how welcoming they are from the moment you walk in the door. Patty and Dana have built a community that is really something special. You will get fit and have a great time in the process.

Fantastic experience: the BEST place to get your sweat on in Asheville! the community is amazing, the space is immaculate, and the staff is truly the best of the best. be prepared for the best cycling experience of your life
Fantastic experience: Fantastic cycling studio. The owners are great and we plan to go back whenever we are in Asheville. A great way to burn some calories before eating at Asheville's wonderful restaurtanta.
Fantastic experience: Recently visited Asheville for a weekend getaway and gave the studio a try. Amazing welcome from the staff and I enjoyed a fantastic workout for both the mind and body. Highly recommend to both locals and visitors!
Fantastic experience: AMAZING workout with people that are just as amazing! The music was so fun and the rhythm really coordinated with the movements of the ride. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking for a fun workout with awesome people.
Fantastic experience: I wish I could explain the love I have for this place! Take one class and you'll be hooked, trust me. You leave Joyryder feeling refreshed, physically and mentally. As soon as you walk in you are immediately welcomed with open arms by everyone, staff and other riders included. The studio is spacious, clean, and just overall remarkable. They have shoe rentals, lockers, restrooms, showers, and even a blow-dry bar so you can clean up after class. Joyryder offers a wide variety of class times, so you are guaranteed to find one that fits your schedule. They even started offering rotating theme rides every Friday evening, which is SO fun to see what the theme will be each week! All of the instructors, Dana, Katina, Katy, Zander, and Alisha bring something unique and special to each class so that no two classes are the same. The instructors are all super knowledgeable and well trained on proper form and technique. If you're a beginner, don't worry, they are there to help you! I never took an indoor cycling class before Joyryder and had absolutely no clue what I was doing, but everyone is so supportive and helpful and now I’ve got the hang of it. Not only is it 45 minutes of cardio, they also integrate an arms series with light weights so you really tone your arm muscles. There really is no better full body workout that is this effective and this much fun. Special thanks to the owners, Dana and Patty, for bringing such a pure and special form of joy into my life by creating this wonderful community right here in Asheville!
Fantastic experience: Move over Biltmore...Joyryder is the main attraction in Asheville! Dana and the team at Joyryder have perfected the art of rhythm riding. Every move is perfectly choreographed the the beat of the music and every class somehow leaves you exhausted yet excited to come back for more. The studio is immaculate and all are welcome (even out-of-towners like me). If you’re looking for killer workout that lifts your butt and your mood, Joyryder is the place to be!
Fantastic experience: A great and fun workout for all ages! Most importantly, all instructors and attendees are genuine, supportive, caring, and kind. Such an uplifting environment! In addition to the health benefits, Joyryder has become like a family to me and so many others, and I could not recommend it more.
Fantastic experience: An amazing workout led by energetic and fun instructors JoyRyder is like dancing on a bike!
Fantastic experience: Went to my first class with my husband last week and it was awesome. Great music and the energy in the class helped me get through the class...it was tough, but it was fun and I left smiling....dripping with sweat when I was finished and was I glad to take a shower with all the great products they offer in the locker room....we are hooked!!!
Fantastic experience: Joyryder is an intense workout, a fun atmosphere, and best of all a loving community. You’re hooked after the first class! Great teachers, fun music - awesome overall vibe.
Fantastic experience: Took a Saturday morning class with Dana while back in AVL for the weekend (AVL native, now living in Charleston), and it was AMAZING. Patty and Dana where so nice and welcoming, which is not always the case when you’re doing a one-time, drop-in class. The studio is clean and has a really cool aesthetic. Dana’s class was definitely a butt-kicker, but her energy and enthusiasm was so genuine and encouraging. 15/10 will go back next time I’m visiting home. Everything on Joyryder’s website about positivity, inclusivity and community was felt in the studio and during the class. Thanks Dana & Patty for a great workout with great vibes in a great studio.
Fantastic experience: The BEST! Motivating, fun, supportive community of people, awesome workout and better (and less expensive) than therapy! All the instructors bring something different but all are welcoming, challenging & they bring out the rock star in every rider that comes though the door. Before coming to Joyryder I NEVER took and indoor cycling class and I had no idea what i was in for. The staff, instructors and other riders are so welcoming and encouraging I felt right at home. Do yourself a favor and take a class, it will change you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing classes! I always leave feeling so happy!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Everyone is friendly, personable and emits great energy. These instructors are the most inspiring I've ever had, with their challenging classes and positive/motivating attitudes. It's far superior to any other experience I've had and I've been cycling for years.
Fantastic experience: The best work out in Asheville!! Absolutely beautiful studio, incredibly welcoming to beginners and very challenging for all levels. New people and out of town visitors will fit right in. Go to Joyryder!! You will feel amazing, burn a million calories and be glad you did.
Fantastic experience: Awesome people and workout!!!
Fantastic experience: First timer - BEST EXERCISE PROGRAM I have ever experienced. I have never taken any cycling class, I am out of shape, extremely skeptical and I had no problem completing this workout! I felt equally challenged in all areas of my body throughout the entire workout! The facility is top notch! The music and instructor made this so much fun! I can't wait to go back!
Fantastic experience: Fun af and a great workout in a modern, clean, and welcoming setting. Everyone there was gracious, welcoming, and helpful. You will not be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Immaculate studio with awesome instructors who push you to ride your personal best. Fun music and a supportive community. Do not miss this opportunity to ride!
Fantastic experience: If you like to sweat with great music and no judgement, this is for you. Just 45 minutes with super clean space and showers stocked with Kevin Murphy products from Turner & Co. After my first class, I returned home in such a better mood that my husband offered to buy me a class pack STAT! Cheaper than therapy and a lot more fun ❤️
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a great workout - a place to nourish body, mind & soul - you've found it. The 45 minute classes are a full body workout, the music is amazing and the energy in the classes is unparalleled. The owners are fully committed to everyone having a great experience - whether you've cycled thousands of miles or are brand new. The studio space is just an added bonus - it's beautiful, clean & modern. Beware though - you might become addicted to these classes!
Fantastic experience: Incredible energy, music and such a fun workout! Best rythmn based ride in Asheville. The studio is impeccable, always spotless.
Fantastic experience: Joyryder is one of a kind! The 45-minute class has the perfect balance of intensity (you leave feeling like a badass), and well, JOY. Aside from class being an incredible workout, you somehow leave feeling more energized and ready to attack the day than when you started. Dana, the co-owner and lead instructor, is beyond helpful and encouraging, but when it comes to riding, she just wants to see you work hard, rock out, and have a great time -- every workout should be like this! The most refreshing part is that whether you're a new or seasoned rider, this is a class for everyone. I am so happy a studio like this is available in Asheville!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking to sweat, sing and have a blast on a bike, then look no further. Joyryder has brought Asheville an awesome rhythm riding experience with lots of heart and soul. The studio space is beautiful and so well thought out (fully equipped with showers and a blow-dryer bar!). The owners are so welcoming and the instructors are amazing. The music ranges from throw backs to high-energy top hits. If you haven't checked out Joyryder cycling studio you should absolutely give it a try.
Fantastic experience: Super fun, super sweaty, energy filled work out!! Dana is an amazing instructor! Both her and Patty, the owners, are friendly and super welcoming to everyone. The studio itself is gorgeous, very clean, and even has showers! I love how this class is all about joy versus keeping track of calories or heart rate. There is definitely a place for that, but I'm glad to have an option where you just have fun-this is it! Don't be fooled though, you will still get a kick ass workout!
Fantastic experience: Joyryder is absolutely amazing. This is by far the best spin studio I have ever been to. The classes are all rhythm-based rides that follow the beat of the music which essentially feels like a badass 45 min dance session. The classes are mostly 45 minutes long. In these classes you not only spin and sweat, but you also do a lot of core and arm work while you spin which makes the experience different from all other studios in Asheville. I love this because you leave having had a full body workout rather that just a cardio workout. I have also gotten to know the owners well and they have put so much time, effort, love, and thought into this space. The second you walk in, they welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home. Not to mention, the space is stunningly beautiful and comfortable. They have showers, dressing rooms, and even blow dryers which is great for getting ready after class in the morning. I've been to both Liz and Dana's classes and they are both incredible instructors!! Long story short.... I HIGHLY recommend. You won't find a more well-rounded workout or a setting as perfect as this.
Fantastic experience: Amazing!!!! Full body workout in 45 minutes, yes FULL body in a spin class! Teachers are awesome, music is fun, and this place has such a great vibe. I AM HOOKED!!!! Check it out, you will thank yourself :)
Fantastic experience: Great, energy filled workout appropriate for everyone! Cycling is low impact, high calorie burning and super fun! I highly recommend!!
