No review I write here will sufficiently convey how amazing Verticity is. I hope I can convey the magic of this place in a few sentences as earnestly and fully as any recommendation has, but honestly, nothing will compare to the experience of actually just going and trying for yourself. The first class is ~free~ so you've got nothing to lose.
Verticity is an incredible, body positive cycling studio anchored in the motto "Ride Bikes, Make Friends." Whereas many boutique fitness studios are competitive or can be unwelcoming, Verticity accepts anyone and everyone with open arms. Irrespective of your current fitness level, everyone is welcome.
Vericity is also one of the few places where the prevailing mindset is that we exercise because we love our bodies, not because we hate them. There is no room for bad juju here.
The studio itself is painted black and much of the ride is done in darkness which helps support the non-competitive atmosphere. It can definitely be intimidating the first few times you go, but after you get the basic moves down, you'll feel like a pro in no time.
The music is always fun and energizing, and the 45 minutes will fly by.
The classes are definitely pricey, but I think it's worth the investment. I've paid less for other gyms that I went to much more infrequently, so if you think about cost per time you go, it's actually a steal.
If it's your first time, I would recommend you go to one of Allee's, KOH's, or LB's classes. They give clear directions and are exceptionally warm and welcoming.
