I went from not really working out for the past 2 years to getting up at 5:45am to make my 6:00am Advanced Interval Spin Class every week. Julia is awesome.. period. She has pushed me further in that spinning class at 6am than I ever thought possible on a bike. Even when I am the only one in the class, she is there 150% pushing me further every time, telling me to dig deep and give a little bit more, and somehow I do it. Y'all are lucky to have such a great, motivating instructor, and overall wonderful person. I can't thank you enough for opening the studio!

I bought the groupon for 10 spin classes. So far I have used 5 of them. Until I bought this groupon I never considered doing spin. I thought riding a stationary bike would be boring. I was wrong. The 50 minute class flies by and it is a much more intense work out then I expected. I will definitely continue going after my groupon expires.

Every class has been great. There are many options from a basic level 1 spin to more advanced interval classes. They also have class that incorporate yoga and some light lifting. With the large variety of class there is plenty of variety to keep it fresh and entertaining. My only suggestion would be to possibly add a class that is spinning and core exercises (not yoga).

The instructors are also great. Very knowledgeable and they do their best to keep the classes as fun as possible while still providing a good workout. Music selection varies with class and instructor, but so far all the music has been pretty good. I might suggest a little more classic rock, or old school rap music.

Overall this place is great. It is clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

I've been hesitant to review this 5-star spin studio. Why? Because this place is bound to explode in popularity, and of course, my slightly selfish self wants classes to be available when I need them to be.

But, slightly selfish self aside, this studio has a GREAT thing going. The instructors are AWESOME, the music is AWESOME (I've yet to hear that standard techno-fare played at blah blah spin studios and it makes me SO EXCITED!), the studio is no frills, but the bikes are well maintained, you can actually clip-in and stay clipped-in, and the workouts that have been designed are top notch. As a cyclist using spin classes as maintenance work during the winter, it's so nice to actually have instructors that care about form, about keeping your weight shifted back, about engaging both the push AND the pull of the pedal stroke. (This review is more like a love letter to Revolution Spin than a review)

This Groupon customer is going to become a full paying customer thanks to their business, their friendliness, and their desire to give everyone a great workout.

--Dana E., Chicago

This place is honestly amazing! It's a small space but they've made it work for them. The instructors are wonderful and motivating and make the workouts as fun as they can be while you're burning 800 calories in an hour. The music selection varies by teacher, but they all make good choices and the music helps get you going. They have so many different classes to chose from, including spin and strength and a spin/yoga combo. Overall, this studio is wonderful and everyone should go!

--Caroline F., Chicago

Great spin class!!! Very friendly. Will go again :)

--Katherine A., Chicago

The studio is great and the bikes are top notch. I've taken classes with 2 of the instructors - Linda and Angie - both teach Level 1 spinning. Linda's class is a 15 mile ride. She always lets you know where you are at, what's next and where you are going. She plays great music and you can really escape from the world for awile. Angie's class is a bit more upbeat -with more moving up, down and climbing. She plays a lot of remix music.

I am looking forward to taking other classes and meeting the other instructors!

--Casey H., Chicago

I love this place especially the sunday class with Franco ~ it is hard but awesome and a great workout! the place is clean, the people are nice and the bikes are new ~ does it get better than that?

--Beth E., Glenview

I love this place! It is my new favorite place to get a killer, full body work out. Revolution Spin has an amazing sound system that they utilize to the maximum. It is impossible not to love working out there (and Im not one to LOVE working out). Jason and Linda are my favorite instructors so far, because they make the workout so much fun as they blast anything between the Beatles, Johnny Cash, and Usher. Music makes me move and push harder, so I love cycling to their play lists.

They also offer several opportunities for 1/2 spin, 1/2 weight lifting classes and at several convenient times so it is easy to get in a fantastic, full body workout. The classes are small, so I feel really safe and comfortable.

Evanston is really lucky to have this studio. I try to go 3x per week, can't wait till my next class :-)

--Ashley H., Evanston

Been attending for a few weeks now, have gone to classes with four of the instructors..all great! each puts their own spin on spinning :-) Great location too!

--Maryam P., Evanston

Been to 2 classes so far. Loved the gun show class this past Sunday. Jason was great and had fun music (Rihanna to Moatloaf)! I pushed myself and felt like I had a great workout. Excited to try the bootcamp class.

--Sylvie P., Chicago

I've been to two classes so far and Sunday's Gun Show class was intense! I love the variety of classes, esp since they are fun and not your usual spin class. I'll def try other classes here, and they even added two new classes to their schedule--I'm sure they try to mix things up, which is great for people who need change in their workout routine.

--Jen Y., Chicago

2 classes in and I'm hooked. I took the beginner's class with Linda and I loved the way she paced the class and took the time to give each person in the class individual attention. I had Jason for my second class. I left the class feeling so energized. His Michael Jackson music was an added bonus. Their styles are so different, yet they both instruct the class in such a way that you feel like you had the best work out you could ever have. I would recommend this class for anyone who enjoys a good workout and likes having fun while working out.

--Tasha W., Chicago

A great new small business in Evanston! I have run for over 15 years and never been to a spin class before going to Revolution Spin about three weeks ago. I have now had 3 different instructors all with different styles, but all good at their craft and all leaving you feeling spent after great workouts. Don't be intimated to come here as it is a very welcoming environment and the classes are full of good energy and music.

--Nathan D., Chicago

As a beginning spinner, I've been somewhat intimidated by spinning classes and spinning studios. Revolution Spinning Studio is very warm and inviting! My first class with Diane eliminated all my fears as she taught me how to get comfortable on the bike in a beginning orientation class. Linda's classes are almost meditative because she picks fantastic music and brings good energy. Angie's class is high energy and she will push you to "go just a little more" which I absolutely love! After being in Linda's and Angie's classes, I can honestly say I love spinning!! I am so very grateful to all the instructors I've met who have made this such a positive experience for me.

-- Jessica D., Evanston

Being new to spinning, I was a little apprehensive at joining Revolution Spin. But after my first class, I am completely hooked! Revolution Spin has instructors and classes for Spinners of all experience levels and athletic backgrounds. There is a little something for everyone! As a triathlete, cycling training in the Chicago land area in the winter is the pits. Now that I am a part of Revolution Spin, I am excited to have an additional tool to add to my training belt.

-- Nick H., Evanston

Before my first class at Revolution Spin I had never taken a spin class and honestly had no interest in it. In fact, the thought of spin classes terrified me. I thought for sure it was too hard and too much and that I could never survive it. My first class was Level 1 and I still didn't think spin was right for me. But I did the whole class and survived the tell the tale. Then I got an email about Bootcamp. I was nervous, but Jason was super patient and answered all of my questions.... and then kicked my butt at bootcamp! I am now completely addicted to Jason and Julia's classes. I love bootcamp, Advanced Interval Spin, and The Gun Show. The classes are always challenging and the music is perfectly motivating. The class times are perfect for my schedule and my day is better if I've been to spin class that morning. I am so thankful to have stumbled upon Revolution Spin. It's given my weight loss journey a real kick in the pants (for you WW members out there... one 50 min spin class is 9 activity points)! Thank you Jason and Julia!

-- Jill M., Evanston

This is my first experience spinning and I am hooked! Mysti and Tyrone are inspiring and motivating instructors. The studio is very comfortable and the whole experience is great. I always leave the studio feeling like I've accomplished something and looking forward to my next visit.

-- Amy L., Skokie

Great space for spinning.....the bikes are top notch, the sound system is excellent and the instructors are knowledgeable, fun and enthusiastic without being over the top. The classes are inventive and unique. The Gun show is the best workout I've ever had on a bike! I really like the website and the ability to schedule classes..

-- Patricia G., Evanston

I am soooo happy with this spin studio! I go every Saturday for Bootcamp and I love it! The music is great, the class is amazing and Jason is a fantastic trainer. Even the people that attend the class are motivational. I'm a fan for sure! As a beginner to spin, this place could not have been more supportive of getting me started. Definitely come in and try a class!

-- Jill M., Evanston

I've been to two classes so far - a Michael Jackson and an 80's class. Both were sooo much fun!!! The studio is clean, the bikes are new and the location is easy to get to. Both classes I took were taught by Jason who was outstanding! He was motivating, offered some great variations and really pushed you without getting all "drill sargeant yelling in your face." I'm definitely looking forward to taking more classes.

-- Stacey P., Evanston

My first bike was a used HUFFY, so I am no snob, but this place is AWESOME! First class, you feel like a prince. It only gets better when you are pushed in a way only a great trainer can do. Well done, can't recommend Jason and the crew enough!

-- Marco K., Chicago

Revolution Spin was a very incredible experience. The instructors were both very informative and supportive to class participants. Class was very exhilarating from start to finish. Package deals are very reasonable. I've already purchased my package, you should too.

-- Jason J., Chicago

If spinning is your sport - this place is for you. It just opened this past weekend and I'm already looking forward to going back. The equipment is top of the line and the space is very clean. I've met a few of the instructors but I took a class with Jason, the owner, who is fantastic. He's incredibly nice and a great motivator. He told me before class started that I would probably burn 600+ calories during class - and I'm fairly certain I burned every last one of them. A great workout, indeed! Also, I got to spin to Michael Jackson - how great is that?!

-- Aimee D., Chicago

This is by far the BEST spin studio that I have ever been to...I went to one of the classes this past weekend (they just opened), and I am hooked. Jason is a fabulous instructor, and I look forward to taking more of his classes, along with trying some of the other instructors. The space is great, and the new bikes make for a perfect ride. I am so happy that there is finally a spin-only studio in Evanston!

-- Holly K., Evanston

Revolution spin is a FANTASTIC place, and is in a great location. The Michael Jackson spin is awesome!!!!!! The music and the instructors are high energy, but the instructors always make sure that the students are riding comfortably, and safely.

-- Raven R., Romeoville

Fantastic Place. Fantastic Staff. They really have this figured out. I can't imagine a better place to ride, year round!

-- Joe C., Chicago

All I have to say is -- a Michael Jackson spin class?! What a cool way to help make me forget (well, almost) that I was sweating my butt off! I've taken this class from Jason before and am so glad he's going to keep teaching it at his new studio. He did tell me doors open October 1st - which is perfect because it's starting to get too cold to ride outside! Jason leads a great workout -- it's fun, and as tough as you want to push yourself (or not so much if you set the resistance lower).

-- Laura M., Chicago

The first spin class I ever went to was taught by Jason. As a beginner, he was very good about sizing the bike to fit me and explaining the different positions. Since then, I've taken dozens of classes from both Jason and Julia. While their music choices are different (but equally good!), they carefully choose their songs to match the level of intensity of the workout. Jason and Julia both stress the importance of "keeping with the beat" - something I appreciate GREATLY! They have very similar teaching styles: reminding you to maintain form, making you want to push yourself past what you think you can do, all while still keeping it fun! I've tried different spin classes at other gyms, and suffice it to say, Jason and Julia's classes are by far the best. Definitely attend their classes if you are a beginner looking to get into spin, or if you're a veteran looking to be pushed hard-core - they are great instructors able to handle the entire spectrum of experience.

--James F., Chicago

I have taken classes instructed by Jason and Julia. They are both awesome spin instructors. I feel like I get in a great workout at both of their classes. They are never boring and l manage to have fun despite the fact that they are extremely tough! I look forward to taking classes at Revolution Spin.

-- Courtney S., Chicago

Jason and Julia hold the best spin classes ever. I was new to spinning and they both made me very comfortable with the bike and class. Keep up the GREAT classes and energy! Keep playing the euro tech and house music.

-- Andy C., Chicago

Let's keep it real! I'm not into diets but a strong believer in hard work! Jason and Julia have helped me to get to a more comfortable weight (size 14 to 10, now going on a size 8). My dream size has become a reality with their help. Their classes are very motivated, high energy and encouraging. I was apprehensive initialy about taking their classes for the first time but now I CAN'T STOP! You must take their classes if you want to look good, feel good and or just be the best you can be. To me their classes are like water, I need it in my life!

-- Erica W., Chicago

I have been spinning in classes taught by Jason and Julia for the last year. They are by far the best instructors out there. Not only do they motivate you and get the best out of you. But they change up the classes every time to make them fun as well. I love that I have a great time and get a killer workout. Do yourself a favor and come try a class you won't be disappointed!!!

-- Rob W., Chicago

I have taken many classes with Jason and he is a TOP NOTCH instructor and motivator. He pushes you and you will get the most of each and every class. I have taken other spin classes at the gym I use to belong to and Jason's class are head and shoulders above those. Try a class with Jason and I bet you will be back! On Julia: She plays the best music to get you going and she is a work horse! She will get your morning moving and her class will fly by. All you have to do is watch her legs on the sprints to motivate you.

-- Patrick H., Chicago

Jason's spin class is like none other, I have done every sport from ballet to rugby and his spin class makes me feel like I have gotten an excellent workout in only 50 minutes! Julia, adds a new element to spin, excitement. She gives you advice on ways to improve your workout by changing your position and attitude. Spinning with them is something that I look forward to, something that I cannot say for all my workouts. Their workouts do not only focus on your legs but the whole body. Also, if you are new to the area, the spin community is a great one to join! I highly recommend it for anyone.

-- Diana S., Chicago

I have been taking Jason's spin classes for 2 years now and I look forward to them every week. Jason does an excellent job at incorporating routines that strengthen your whole body, not just your legs. I would highly recommend his classes to anyone. Whether you've been spinniing for years or are just looking to get into it you will find a lot of value in his classes.

-- Jack B., Chicago

Jason and Julia both have taught classes at our corporate gym. They both are great. Jason's Michael Jackson spin is legendary. Very fun music and a great mix of pace for the workout. Julia is really great as well. She really pushes and does a great job of keeping you aware of what's going on so you can push as hard as possible. Jason and Julia are super well prepared and organized and pick awesome music. I have a ton of fun and get a killer workout with them. Highly recommend you try their classes.
