Studio S

My husband and I take spinning classes at Studio S during the colder months. The classes are fantastic and varied, and all the teachers are top-​notch. We really appreciate the flexibility Studio S offers in terms of their passes for classes. The location is great, the studio setting pleasant, and once again, the teachers are friendly, enthusiastic, and experts in what they do.

Do not attend this studio for Pilates Reformer. They have the cheapest low quality beds I’ve seen at any place that offers reformer in Cincinnati. While the instructor Alicia was great, the atmosphere was not. The reformer class was going on at the same time and in the same room as a loud spin class. The spin classes are slightly better than the reformer classes but not much. Not extremely challenging or motivational. I’ve heard good things about their personal training but wouldn’t waste another dime in this place.

Rock on Susie! I was in Cincinnati on business and looking for a great workout. I’m fresh from Chicago where the options are pretty wide. I was a little worried I would not be able to find something as challenging or cool as I’m accustomed. I went to a 60 minute spin class and it was awesome. Kaley was sub’ing for you and she did a great job. Even though the spin bikes are mechanical without any digital read outs, the addition (and unexpected) addition of heart monitors was a great addition. I was pushed through out the class and pleased to say I was able to stay in the Orange Zone most of the time. I definitely enjoyed the experience and will come back when I return to town. I’m looking forward to trying some of your other offerings including strength/​intervals and maybe Reformer classes.
The location is very cool, parking is cheap, and there’s a trendy wine bar across the street. There are two change/​Bathrooms. One has a shower. Minor downside might be an early AM class where many need to head to work. That said, I still give it a big 5 star shout out.

Studio S is pretty much the best you can get as far as quality and friendly trainers. For those who are just wanting to get in or back in shape or those interested in intense training, Studio S is awesome about catering to all levels of fitness.
Alicia does a great job of teaching pilates mat classes and taking into account those who may need adjustments for injuries or those who, ehem, may be a tad bit out of shape.
Susie’s Spin-​Core class is one of my favorites! 30 minutes of spinning and 30 minutes of pilates leaves you energize and sore in all the right ways. As a first time spinner (is that word?), Susie took extra time with me to get me set-​up with a heart rate monitor and explain to me how to class would work and encouraged me to go at my own pace. I can’t believe I didn’t try spinning for all these years because I was too nervous to try! I can tell you for sure I never would have tried at a large fitness center because I never would have gotten the personalized attention I receive at Studio S.
Try it! You’ll love it! You’ll make all kinds of new friends!

Annie at Clear Wellness told me if I wanted to take the best spin class in Cincinnati, go to Studio S. I’m using Tapfit to find new places and workouts so in addition to spinning, I saw a strength training class, called S60. I was intrigued and booked the class!
When I showed up, Susie greeted me at the door and showed me around the space, which is beautiful and her welcome set me at ease, along with introducing me to the other students.
The S60 class I took was made up of 1-​minute intervals mixing cardio and strength training using your own body weight, medicine ball and dumb bells. Throughout the class Susie was encouraging and worked with each person’s ability. Despite it being a group class, it was small so that the individual instruction felt like personal training. It was challenging but good, the kind of class you walk away from realizing how much you’re capable of (and what areas need a little more attention, planks in my case).
As another review states, they make great use of the space. They offer spinning shoes as heart rate monitors for the spinning classes, which is pretty fantastic! I haven’t tried a spinning class, but I plan to.
I’m not surprised there are only a couple reviews, this place is fantastic and one you don’t want to see get hugely popular and busier ;)

this has to be one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been spinning for about 6 and a half years and having been wanting to try some spin classes outside of the large fitness chains in the area. well, this is hands down the best i’ve been to so far. They provide spin shoes if you need them along with a heartrate monitor. the ride itself was excellent. i will definitely be going back for more!!! This studio’s customer service is the best i have experienced in ages!

Studio S is tucked away on Michigan right off Hyde Park Square. This studio makes amazing use of its space. There are pilates reformers, pilates mat classes, spinning classes, and small group training classes. There is also a huge variety of cardio and strength machines so you can also come in and have a little private work out after a group class if you choose with a trainer, or solo. Owner Susie Crossland-​Dwyer is an amazing trainer, with an exceptionally qualified staff. If you live in the Hyde Park and surrounding areas you need to come in and see how wonderful this studio is. Make sure to check the website to see the times and dates for class offerings, and start dates new group training sessions.
