Before your first ride, you need to sign a waiver. If you are under 18, you need one signed by a parent IN PERSON. Please arrive at the studio 20-25 minutes before your ride, so we can give you a tour of the studio, outfit you with shoes, and help adjust your bike.

Most start with our Classic ride. Regardless of which ride you choose, you can modify a CycleBar ride to your own fitness level.

You’re welcome to rent shoes at the studio (a small fee may apply), or bring your own! Our bikes are compatible with Delta and SPD clips. Just make sure your cleats are Loctite’d and torqued to spec so you’re locked in and ready to ride.

When you book a class, you get to select a bike. Just ask your friend which bike they selected so you can ride next to them.

We’ve thought of everything, so you can focus on the ride.
At CycleBar Castro Valley, we handle the details. Enjoy complimentary filtered water, secure  lockers, hair ties, and premium studio toiletries. Bring a water bottle (or purchase one in-studio) and wear a tank or tee with form-fitting bottoms. Need gear? Our retail wall has you covered with CycleBar apparel and more.

Just as you would with any new exercise, consult your doctor before starting up at CycleBar. Our rides offer a full body workout and a rigorous cardio experience, so make sure you listen to your body during your class. Your  Instructor will help you reach your personal best, but your safety comes first. If at any time during or after a class you feel unusual symptoms, please notify us and/or seek medical attention.

We offer a variety of pricing options to fit every schedule, goal, and lifestyle—from drop-ins to unlimited memberships and everything in between. Whether you’re riding once a week or every day, there’s a plan that fits. Check our current offers and class packs in-studio or online.

CycleBar is a music-driven instructor-led cardio cycling class that delivers a fun but low-impact workout.

Memberships at CycleBar Castro Valley are exclusive to our studio.
Since every CycleBar is independently owned, your membership is valid only at the Castro Valley location. We’re proud to be locally operated and community-driven—this is your neighborhood ride.

Cycling classes are a great way to get in your cardio and blast calories. CycleBar is focused on your emotional as well as your physical well-being and here we come together to ride in a supportive community. No matter your fitness goal or your ability, we have a ride for you.

Need to cancel? No sweat—just do it at least 12 hours before class.
• Late cancel (within 12 hours): $15 fee
• No-show (no cancel + no ride): $20 fee
Manage all your bookings in the CycleBar app—easy, fast, and rider-friendly!

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to check in and get set up. For safety reasons, we cannot allow entry once the first song starts (3–4 minutes into class). The lights go low, the energy goes up, late arrivals miss the magic.

We ask that you bring water only into the studio to stay hydrated. No other beverages, please.

Leave it in your locker—this is your time. We ask that phones stay off the bike and on silent so you can unplug, recharge, and stay present for the ride.

If you’re on the waitlist and get a spot, you’ll be notified via email or app. Be sure to confirm or cancel ASAP to avoid fees.

Respect the ride and each other. We’re a community—stay positive, be kind, and have fun while you set your own bar.

Absolutely. We love curating rides with your favorites. [Submit your song or theme requests here].
