New Spin Studio To Open In Wicker Park

CHICAGO, IL — A new spin studio is opening in Wicker Park in an alley off of West Division Street in early September, owner Liza Solberg announced. Just steps away from the Division L Stop, Spynergy Wicker Park — the second generation of its Winnetka counterpart, will offer riders spin classes with energizing music. The studio is taking over a 1,500-square-foot building that's been around for more than 100 years.

Spynergy, at 1632b West Division St., will offer 35 state-of-the-art bikes, suited for both clip spin shoes and traditional sneakers. Unlike other dark, windowless spin studios in Chicago, Spynergy will offer a brighter space with natural light, Solberg said.

“To keep riders rhythm and high energy levels on point, our instructors play songs with clear and catchy down beats, which could include anywhere from Fleetwood Mac to today’s Top 40; everyone in the room should hear something familiar,” Solberg said.

Solberg was just 10 years old when her mom and aunt refined the Spynergy concept in Winnetka. Solberg began teaching classes when she was 15 years old, and is now opening her first studio at 26.

Leading up to the official opening, Spynergy is offering 1,000 free rides for private groups (August 18-24) and public classes (August 25-31). The studio is also running Founding Member Specials, including a New Spynner 3 Ride for $40 and a Monthly Unlimited package for $150, through the month of September.

Spynergy opens to the public Sept. 4. The studio will be open seven days a week, with various classes throughout the day. A full spin schedule, list of instructors and equipment details can be found on Spynergy’s website.
