First CycleBar in Wisconsin coming to Mequon
By Erik S. Hanley
With some locations open in Ohio, Michigan, Massachusets, and other places, the franchise is expanding with its first location in Wisconsin. Schroeder said the goal is to have about 100 studios open by December. She said close to 300 people have signed on with the franchise across the country.
The CycleBar in Mequon will have a soft grand opening in January with all classes free. The first 10 days will have free classes for businesses and charities and a second 10-day period will offer free classes for individuals.
“We’re trying to get as many people as we can through the door,” Schroeder said.
The business will follow a pay-per-class model with no memberships. A five-class pack, 10-pack, 20-pack and 100-pack of classes will be offered. Schroeder said the prices have not yet been set, but nationally the average is $20 per drop-in class. Packages purchased during the free soft open period will be discounted 20 percent.
Those interested in participating can sign up for classes with a phone app and, once arriving, sign in on an iPad. During classes, statistics from the bikes are fed into a system which can display on large televisions if the instructor desires. These stats can be used for various activities such as races.
