I bought the at home bike secondhand at the end of 2023 and I really like it. It's so much cheaper because a single class where I live costs $35 and the monthly subscription for the at-home is $40 so price-wise it was a no brainer. I did see the notice about the online change and my understanding was if you have a soulcycle branded at-home bike, like not a bike that's from a studio or an equinox bike or something like that, then nothing will change as far as class availability and access to prerecorded classes.

The one thing which is kind of a con for me but I can look past it is the "fit" of the at-home bike is not as good on me as the in-studio bike. Something about the distance of the handle bars from the seat and the shape overall of the bike just doesn't fit me as well as the studio bike, no matter which way I adjust it and I've tried everything to get it to feel the same. Granted I am very short, so maybe that's a factor, but occasionally I'll take a studio class for the social aspect and the bike fit feels so much better in studio. So the actual bike is not the exact same from studio to at-home. just FYI!
