    CycleBar, Greenville

    • 4.9
    • 10,350 reviews

Instructors here have built the kind of individual followings that make members describe specific classes as things they simply don't miss, and the blend of speed and power challenges alongside music choreography keeps the format feeling fresh session after session.

    Visiting riders who arrive at CycleBar Greenville while in town for work or travel regularly leave reviews recommending it to locals — a reliable signal that the studio's quality holds up against comparisons from other markets.

    The Junkyard, Greenville

    • 5.0
    • 6,692 reviews

    The Junkyard in Greenville has built its reputation on a specific promise: meet you where you are and take you further than you thought possible. The studio combines treadmills, cycles, rowers, and functional training with their proprietary Junkyard Music Technology — a format that has created a devoted Greenville community among members who wanted something different from standard group fitness and found it in a studio that treats intensity as a means to feeling strong rather than as an end in itself.

    First-timers at The Junkyard describe walking in expecting to struggle and leaving having loved it — a pattern that shows up across the reviews with remarkable consistency. Instructors create the kind of high-intensity class where people who actively dislike working out discover that they actually love this specific version of it. That conversion quality is the foundation of Greenville's most loyal fitness community.

    "It was a fun high-energy packed class with [Instructor]! She is positive, clear, and is intentional to uplift and challenge you during the class! I am getting addicted to coming to the Junkyard!!!"

    • 5.0
    • 4,901 reviews

Multiple reviews describe first-time hot yoga experiences that converted skeptics into regulars, which reflects an instruction quality — accessible, warm, and technically sound — that makes a format people are often nervous about feel immediately right.

    The studio's mix of flow and deep-stretch segments, with some Pilates-influenced core work woven in, provides the variety that keeps members interested across a long-term practice.

    The Booty Shop, Greenville

    • 4.7
    • 10,907 reviews

    The Booty Shop runs large group training classes in an atmosphere that the studio describes as a night out with your besties — and the review evidence suggests that framing is accurate. Instructors here have developed personal followings among Greenville members who describe classes where the cardio doesn't feel like cardio because the energy, the music, and the instructor personality keep the whole experience genuinely enjoyable. The complimentary post-class mimosa and friendly chat that members mention is the kind of detail that turns a fitness class into a social ritual.

    For Greenville members who want a class that is both a solid workout and a genuinely fun event, The Booty Shop's format and instructor lineup delivers both consistently. The studio's appeal spans fitness levels, which makes it the kind of place members bring their friends to introduce them to boutique fitness.

  5. 5

    The Junkyard, Mauldin-Simpsonville

    • 5.0
    • 2,306 reviews

    The Junkyard's Mauldin location brings the Greenville brand's functional fitness concept to the southern suburbs, with the same treadmill-cycle-rower-functional training combination and the Junkyard Music Technology that has made the downtown location addictive. The Mauldin community has developed its own character — coaches and members who have built genuine relationships through shared effort and collective progress, in a studio that treats the community aspect of fitness as seriously as the physical programming.

    Southern Om, Woodruff Road, Greenville

    • 5.0
    • 2,375 reviews

    Southern Om on Woodruff Road is Greenville's hot yoga specialist — a studio running both Southern Flow (heated Vinyasa to deep breathing) and Southern 26 (a 26-posture sequence held for sustained intervals in a 105-degree room) for a membership that has embraced the specific intensity of heated practice. Instructors here receive reviews describing a quality of teaching that makes the discomfort of the hot room feel purposeful rather than punishing, and first-timers leave converted rather than deterred.

For Greenville members who want hot yoga as a serious practice, Southern Om's Woodruff Road location is the Upstate's best option for it.

    "Amazing instructor and teacher! High energy and great vibes!"
    "HIIT class — not your typical yoga — it was challenging but fun!"

    • 5.0
    • 1,758 reviews

    barre3 in Five Forks is built on a specific philosophy: a workout that empowers each individual to modify and develop body awareness for lasting results, rather than pushing everyone through identical movements regardless of where they are.

    First-timers at barre3 Five Forks describe arriving nervous and leaving enthusiastic — a conversion rate that reflects how thoroughly the studio has thought through the new member experience.

  8. 8

    Shine OM, Greenville

    • 4.7
    • 4,355 reviews

    Shine OM in Greenville was built around the intention of providing a space for community and inclusivity — a studio where every human being, regardless of background, body type, or experience, feels inspired and motivated rather than judged. The yoga classes here deliver on that mission through instructors who bring both technical skill and genuine warmth, and who create the kind of class atmosphere that produces reviews describing instructors as sweeties who make you want to stop thinking about it and just come in.

    For Greenville members who've been hesitant about yoga, Shine OM's approach specifically addresses that hesitation: welcoming, clear, and taught by instructors whose energy makes the practice feel like something designed for you rather than for someone with more experience. The studio's physical and emotional wellness mission shows up consistently in member experiences.

    "This was an awesome class. I really enjoyed the flow and [Instructor] had great energy and offered some great assists during postures. I would definitely go again."
    "What a fun class — thank you, [Instructor]!"

    • 5.0
