SoulCycle Buckhead at 3400 Lenox Road will open on Saturday, May 19. Situated in the Shops Around Lenox shopping center, the 3,128-square foot studio features 56 bikes, plus two gender neutral showers and restrooms.

Classes are $20 for first-time riders and $30 per class afterwards. The company also offers packages with five, 10, 20 and 30 classes.

The New York-based company’s revolutionary indoor cycling classes are held in dark, “non-intimidating” candlelit studios to “allow riders to lose themselves in the workout,” according to a SoulCycle news release.
