Location, Booking & First Impressions
Fire Cycle Fitness is located at 1478 S 84th St, West Allis—minutes from downtown Milwaukee—with convenient online booking via Mariana Tek and companion iOS/Android apps. The studio positions itself as “revolutionary,” and the space backs that up: showers, lockers, and even a small Beauty Bar for post-class freshening signal a boutique experience rather than a bare-bones spin room.
Signature Differentiator: Infrared-Heated Cycling
Fire Cycle’s marquee feature is its infrared heating system integrated into the studio build-out. Infrared heat is used in select classes to raise core temperature and intensify the workout stimulus without the blasting, dehydrating feel of conventional forced-air heat. It’s a rare setup for a Midwest cycling studio and part of Fire Cycle’s wellness-forward identity. The studio also promotes rigorous air quality standards and purification—an operational touch that riders consistently notice.
Beyond the walls, Fire Cycle also takes their programming out into the community with silent-disco headphone classes—a unique “ride anywhere” experience the brand highlights (think museum courtyards or lakeside activations). It’s a creative extension of the rhythm-ride model and a smart way to build local visibility.
Programming & Class Formats
The schedule centers on three distinct cycle experiences (with both heated and non-heated options) and complementary group formats. While names and lineups can evolve, riders can expect 45–60 minute rhythm-driven rides that prioritize music, intervals, and a curated flow from warm-up to high-energy pushes and measured recovery. The studio’s schedule and purchasing flow live on a clean Mariana Tek integration.
Instructor bios underscore Fire Cycle’s emphasis on music curation and connection. For example, instructor Allyssa calls out playlist design that “seamlessly flow[s] from warm-ups to high-energy intervals, recovery, and moments of mind-body connection,” which mirrors what regulars describe in reviews.

The Instructor & Community Experience
Multiple public reviews highlight the staff’s approachability and coaching clarity—especially for newcomers who may feel intimidated walking into a dark, bass-heavy rhythm class for the first time. Phrases that recur: “supportive,” “felt welcomed,” “helpful with setup,” and “kept me motivated.” Representative feedback from ClassPass and Birdeye (aggregating Google reviews) underscores the beginner-friendly ethos and energetic, inclusive vibe:
-
“Wonderful atmosphere and great people… I was new to the class and felt very supported by instructor and other members.” (ClassPass)
-
“The team inspires even beginners to feel included and like you can pedal your best… facilities are top notch.” (Birdeye/Google)
Yelp currently lists the studio as LGBTQ+-owned, and public posts emphasize a safe, accepting space—values the brand explicitly names in its “Things to Know” section (love, courage, acceptance, passion)
Studio Ecosystem: Cleanliness, Air & Amenities
Post-pandemic member priorities show up clearly at Fire Cycle: the studio details multi-system HVAC and high-grade air purification along with anti-microbial flooring and equipment sanitation after every class. These are not just nice-to-haves; they’re part of the operational backbone that allows heated cycling to feel invigorating rather than stuffy. Showers, lockers, and the Beauty Bar round out the amenity set for commuters and lunchtime riders
Events & Community Outreach
Fire Cycle frequently partners in community pop-ups and themed rides. Recent examples include outdoor “Cycle & Sip” sessions and festival activations—useful for curious first-timers who want to sample the vibe before committing to a package. These events also extend the studio’s brand into Milwaukee’s broader cultural calendar.
Social & Digital Touchpoints
On Instagram, the studio profiles itself as an “Infrared Heated Cycling Studio | Elevating Fitness & Wellness. Sweat. Recover. Repeat.” The feed highlights rider milestones, theme rides, and event promotions, which make it easy to track upcoming pop-ups and special classes. You’ll also find schedule links and the studio address pinned in the bio.
