    OK spin studio…Ottawa has many other spin studios that offer the same style of indoor cycling and provide much better service!! With only 5-10 mins between each class, I also highly doubt staff can properly clean the sweaty bikes and weights! Room always feels humid and smells of b/o. Very hard to find parking (paid street parking), steep membership prices, and not welcoming staff.

    Awesome class! Very clean. Staff were friendly, helpful, and the instructor was great. I wish they had a blackout track like one other spin studio in the city, but at least they have bathrooms to use! I'll definitely be going back to get my sweat on. Thanks SPINCO!

    Everything about this place is 5 stars. I had a fantastic visit and will be back soon. I created my account, and knew my bike # as soon as I booked. When I arrived, it was easy to find everything I needed... I was checked in, setup, fitted up and spinning along to the music with the most efficiency I have ever seen at a fitness club. The class included shoes, lockers, a towel... literally everything you needed to get on the bike. The lockers have programmable codes, so you don’t need to worry about bringing a lock! Once the class started, I was amazed at how great the workout was! The instructor, Jeremy, was AMAZING! He checked in with the new members, brought a lot of positivity, and made sure everyone was challenged, working hard and really gave 110% to the class. I can’t wait to go back.

    Love, love love it here! I have only been once so far but have already signed up for more classes. It was my first spin class EVER and the front desk staff made me feel super welcome and explained the process. The teacher also made me feel less nervous and showed me how to adjust my bike and snap in my shoes. Amy was an amazing teacher and really kept me motivated. I can't wait to go back and have been recommending this place non-stop. If you are curious just to try a spin class, this is the place to do it.

    My experience at Spinco has been amazing. I have tried spinning at other gyms but this is a truly unique experience and I love how they provide shoes and towels so it is really easy to just roll in and get riding. I was super nervous to start as I have some mobility issues from some injuries and I am no gym buff but from the moment of my first class I felt like I was exactly where I need to be. The staff was great about helping set up the bikes and give instruction without making you feel uncomfortable. I have brought quite a few friends to try the classes and they are all very impressed with the atmosphere and the quality of the workout. It is a truly full body workout which I was not expecting! Keep it up!

    Spinco Ottawa is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the staff members who are all so warm and welcoming. Being new to spin, I was quit nervous and having the instructor explain how to clip in and show me how the bikes work I was put at ease immediately. On top of that, the workout itself is great! The vibe in the studio really makes you want to push to those new levels and excel as an individual. I will definitely be back!

    Friendly staff but the facilities and their equipment are not clean. The shoes they provide are not properly sanitized and if you get there and they don't have your size, you get a lovely warm sweaty pair from the class before. They all smell like stinky feet and that smell wafts in the spin room due in part to the lack of air circulation. Make sure to also wash your hands after the class because the handle bars can be sticky. I bought a 2 week intro pass and regret it. I would not have returned for a second class had I simply purchased a drop in because I have never been to a studio that is so unsanitary.

    Spin studios can be super intimidating but thankfully Spinco Ottawa is not one of them! There are riders of all ages, genders, shapes & sizes and everyone is equally welcoming. Special shoutout to the manager, Hayley, for setting such a positive tone for the space and for being especially kind to me when I've had unexpected medical issues arise during her classes.

    It was an amazing first class for me today and I loved the vibes and energy and looking forward to more classes in the future

  • 5/5 Kim F. 6 years ago on Google
    SPINCO is an amazing community! I feel welcomed, and empowered to take on a class every time I walk in the studio. It's super clean and someone is always around to help you set up your bike. Since finishing my swimming career I've had a hard time getting up early again to work out but now I actually look forward to heading to the studio for those early morning rides. Leaves me feeling so excited to take on the day!

    I really enjoyed my two week trial at this place. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I never felt uncomfortable or out of place. They made me feel like I belonged there . Room is warm at first but then it gets cooler , lots of amazing instructors and diff type of music in each class. I wish it was a bit cheaper but is worth it. Very clean and organized.

    I'm not one to ever write a bad review, I understand some things are out of the business' control, but some understanding should be shed. I had taken my first spin class at Spin Co on August 1 with the purchase of the 2-week unlimited pass. Unfortunately, I hurt my ankle during the session and had to leave early. My ankle and leg only got worse (pictures attached) and I spent the night at ER and left with crutches. All to say, I didn't have a chance to write earlier in regards to possibly requesting a refund on that purchase. I wouldn't have been able to attend any upcoming classes and I am pretty sure the pass had expired by the time I reached out. Spin Co Ottawa replied back, informing me that "[they] have no problem holding [my] membership and then extending it from the day [I] hurt [my]self. " The problem with that is, I won't be attending another class. The last exchange with Spin Co was on August 19. Yikes.

    I love this studio! The instructors are so welcoming and the music is always great. Very nice/clean studio. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Emily E. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience. It was my first spin class ever. Everyone was incredibly friendly and at the ready to show me where to go and what to do. My instructor was Brittany Burk, and she was amazing. Very motivational and a great DJ lol. I really appreciated how present and into it she was. If you sign up for a class, do yourself a favor and show up 15 minutes early. The only set back was the sound system, music was great but alittle difficult to hear the instructor at times. Overall a great experience and I would do it again.

  • 5/5 Ksenia V. 4 years ago on Google
    Great community, well maintained facility, and fun classes led by friendly and motivational instructors. I have never enjoyed (or stuck with) any gym or exercise classes the way I love spinning. Spinco has changed my life!

    Love love love this place! I tried Spinco about a year ago and have not stopped since! Classes are always fun and energetic as well as staff is super nice and always there to help with whatever you need.

    Awful experience at this studio. I would not recommend coming here. As someone who spins very regularly, I was not admitted to the class as it was only a few minutes before and I was a new client. Even after expressing I take spin classes weekly, the individual at the desk refused my entry. On top of it, have called and left a voicemail as well as emailed several times with no response. Extremely unprofessional. As someone who has worked in customer service and at a well known gym, this is unacceptable. Making newcomers feel welcome should be a priority and at this spin studio, unfortunately it is not.

    SPINCO has become a second home to me! All of the staff and instructors are extremely kind, uplifiting and knowledgable. In comparison to other studios, the workout space is very clean and the bikes are always well maintained. The workouts focus and target the entire body, including: adding resistance (slower movements), sprints on the bike (fast-paced endurance) and a weight track in the middle of each class. Would recomend trying a class and sticking with it even though it can seen indimidating at first. My overall mental and physical health has improved drastically. Big shout out to Kara, Amy, Nicole, Hayley and Sara for teaching and maintaining such a beautiful space to grow and push yourself! P.S - after reading some of the other reviews yes, doors close at the exact time the class starts. But this is actually a great thing, it holds you accountable. Cheers, Sierra

    Wow! Great workout. Studio is clean, staff has great energy. This was my first spin class and the front desk staff and instructor (Caitlin!) walked me through everything and made me feel comfortable in what could have been a very intimidating environment. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Ottawa.

😐 Nice big location lots of parking. Prices are high and it is always busy. The place gets super crowded and you need to wait for a machine. A bit more cleaning would be great. The place gets cleaned once only and cleaning machines is not enforced.

😠 This location does not maintain its equipment, and will not fix it until it becomes a safety issue. Once it’s up for repair, they take over a couple months to get fixed.
