  1. 1

    OPEN RIDE, Basel

    • 4.9
    • 10,537 reviews

    OPEN RIDE Basel is one of Europe's most enthusiastically reviewed cycling studios — a space built around the belief that sweat breaks down barriers and borders, and that high-intensity riding in a multi-sensory environment creates something qualitatively different from standard fitness. Instructors here have built the kind of individual followings that have members describing specific coaches as having such genuine energy and motivation that they create sessions that feel like a real challenge and a party at the same time, and as making members remember they're alive.

    The studio's curated ride experiences across rhythm, power, and event formats mean that Basel members can experience something different every week while building within the same community. For Switzerland members who want cycling that is genuinely transformative rather than just functional, OPEN RIDE Basel is the standard that other cycling studios in the country are measured against.

    "[Instructor]'s spinning classes are next level! Full power, amazing music, and the best motivation you can get! She knows exactly how to push you while keeping it fun. Every class feels like a challenge and a party at the same time. Honestly the highlight of my week!"
    "[Instructor] says all kinds of empowering things and she is even funny sometimes — hard to believe this is possible when you're in the middle of a really hard workout but it really does help! The lights and music make it feel like you're going dancing. [Instructor]'s class will make you remember you're alive!"
