FAQS

BYKlyn is an independent, locally-owned fitness studio where community and inclusivity meet, offering classes ranging from cycling (on New York City’s only open-air bike deck) to strength and stretch. Established in 2014, BYKlyn is 3 blocks from Barclay's Center I Boerum Hill. With about 40 classes a week, expect great music, top fitness instructors, creative programing from warm up to cool down, high energy, a strong community and total fun. We’re committed to inclusion: all bodies, all colors, all types of athletes (from newbie to competitive triathlete, all tastes in music. What you won’t get is judgment, pressure to wear fancy clothes, or complicated choreography.

We do!  We welcome you to BYKlyn and look forward to meeting you!  Class Passers can rent cycling shoes at the studio for $3. You also need to create your profile with us on our site and add your CC for any purchases. We do not accept cash payments.

Just bring yourself and your can-do attitude. For your stuff, we have bins near each bike or lockers. You should bring a water bottle and fill it here with filtered water. you can buy a reusable water bottle, but no disposables for us. We supply towels, both on the bikes and for showers at no extra cost.  We also supply cycling shoes:  free for members and folks on trial and $3 for Class Pass.  If it's cold outside--wear layers for cycling class. While it's heated, we keep it cool in the winter.  

Cycling classes at BYKlyn are whisper quiet! We use a special sound system called Sound Off.  Every bike has a sterilized headset resting on the handlebars when you arrive. This headset connects wirelessly to our instructor and the music. You hear the class, yet outside, there is no noise. The BYKlyn team cleans the headsets after every class. The earmuffs are swapped out, cleaned and dried. The benefit to our system is that you control the volume.  No more ear plugs or classes that are too loud. And, you hear everything the instructor says. No more missed cues with instructors yelling over the music. Only the BYKlyn headsets will work with the system in studio.

Yes but no need for members and new clients.  Shoe rental is included.  For Class Pass however, we rent shoes for $3. We also offer the use of cages if you prefer to wear your own sneakers. You are also welcome to bring your own shoes: Look Delta or SPD clips fit into our pedals.

We have a 5-minute grace period for late-comers. We do what we can to accommodate late trains and life that happens. But please also understand that entering a class late disrupts the other clients. In addition, late folks miss the warm-up which is an important time to safely set the stage for your class.

We have a generous 6 hour cancelation policy -- one of the most lenient out there. For 4X and 8X members, if you cancel less than 6 hours prior to class, your count as a no-show and the class is deducted from your account. For BYKlyn unlimited members, a cancelation less than 6 hours ahead counts as a LATE CANCEL and you are charged $10. If you do not show up for class and do not late cancel, you are charged a $20 no show fee.

Yes! We have two bathrooms each with a shower. We ask our clients to take a fast shower so others have a chance to shower as well. We also have a special Salon [718] beauty lounge with Dyson hairdryers, salon quality beauty products, and more. That’s where you go after the shower to finish getting ready.

We have a bottle filler for bottles you bring from home. We  sell quality reusable BYKlyn water bottles for $3. We don't sell disposable plastic water bottles. (No single-use plastic please!)

Yes, classes rollover for memberships only. Rollover classes expire after 60 days.   

Welcome — we’re so glad you decided to take the plunge. We love new clients. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and not at all intimidated from your first class. Your part: Wear comfortable workout clothes like leggings and a top that absorbs sweat, sneakers for strength classes, a water bottle and that can-do attitude.  For your first time, we’ll encourage you to push yourself — but not too hard. Use your first few classes to learn your body and your limits. But one thing to note for cycling classes: Your, ahem, derriere will likely be sore the following day (and/or your legs as well). That’s totally normal and goes away after a few rides. But like all workouts, if you feel intense pain or discomfort, consult with your doctor.

You bet! We always have great merch for sale. Look for new swag at the studio. We don't sell on line.  We work with several athleisure brands. Come take a look! 

We do not allow package sharing for regular packages or memberships.  BUT we do have a special 24 class share pack just for that -- sharing with a friend. Reach out if you're interested.
