What Others Are Saying
"By providing just an online class with an instructor here on a bike, that would not have done it for our clients at all, you might join anything else on social media. But our clients were able to do Spivi at home and the demand was so high. The pandemic for us, really and truly, it changed our model completely, we actually make more money than we did only for offline classes. Here we are, we are great and we enjoy it!"
Jean-Marc de Montrichard, Owner, Rev Studio, Abu Dhabi
"Spivi Studio helps us get new members as it’s a renovator to Indoor Cycling. As a result of adding Spivi to our gym SPINNING® classes have become the most popular classes in our club making us add additional classes and conduct an early registration to existing classes. I would highly recommend Spivi to any club owner."
Hagi Pagirsky, Owner and CEO, Great Shape (Franchise)
They absolutely love it! Let the instructors fall in love with it and your member will fall in love with it. I think what they like best about it is that they're finding themselves working harder."
"Thank you, Spivi, for bringing our studio to the next level, not once but twice! Amazing partner to have in these unsettling times!"
