The Handle Bar

The Handle Bar is a locally owned and operated chain of boutique fitness studios in Boston and Cambridge.

Across 8 locations, The HB offers high energy 45 and 60 minute beat-based CYCLE classes, as well as bootcamp inspired CYCLE & STRENGTH classes. Our CYCLE classes are instructor-led, low-lit, and driven by amazing playlists. Hand weights are used during each ride to incorporate an upper body burn into the 45 or 60 minute group cardio experience. Riders vary from experienced cyclists to first-timers looking to find a workout they can stick with. CYCLE & STRENGTH is a bootcamp inspired hybrid class which offers a 50/50 split of beat based cycling, and dumbbell strength training. Build strength, get your cardio in - all in one 45 minute party. When a rider enters The Handle Bar, they are joining a community where self-betterment and enjoyment are as paramount as physical gains. We value our riders' wellness far beyond their fitness routine - we care deeply about mental health and the power of community and we try to give back to our community to in ways that nurture the mind and spirit.

🚨 SOUTH BOSTON (EAST) IS COMING SOON 🚨

We’re officially bringing The HB to East Broadway!

We’ve hit a few zoning + permitting delays, but construction is underway and we’re currently anticipating a mid-November to early December opening.
We’ll keep you posted as we get closer — and trust us, it’ll be worth the wait. 💛

A NEW way to heat up 🔥
Introducing Gentle Heat at our South End studio.

Unlike our fully heated infrared classes that reach 95°F+, Gentle Heat starts at room temperature and gradually climbs throughout class, reaching a peak of 80–85°F.

SCULPT, PILATES FUSION, and SCULPT & STRENGTH are now offered with Gentle Heat — giving you the benefits of infrared heat without the intensity of our fully heated classes.

Ready to try a different kind of heat?

What a beautiful morning of purpose, movement, and connection. 🤍

Move & Meditate led by The Handle Bar was a reminder of just how powerful it is when we slow down, move together, and give back to our bodies and minds

Thank you to every person who joined us at Fenway Park and brought their energy, vulnerability, and heart. Together, the community created space to breathe, reflect, connect, and make an impact.

Movement brings us together. Community helps us grow.

Today, we honor Juneteenth and reflect on the continued importance of building spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and included.

The power of learning, listening, and showing up for one another is what helps us create more inclusive and equitable communities in our studios, in our city, and beyond 💛

For the past 10 years, our South End CYCLE room has been home to countless beat drops, milestones, friendships, celebrations, and packed-room moments.

As we close out this chapter, we're giving the room the sendoff it deserves with one final weekend of rides before the space converts to mat-based classes.

While the room may be changing, the community isn't going anywhere. Your favorite South End CYCLE instructors are still active, still teaching, and still very much part of the HB family.
Swipe through to see where you can find them on the podium starting next week, and join us this weekend as we celebrate a decade of memories in the South End CYCLE room 🚲 ✨
