ABOUT DRAGONFLY

A Sherman Oaks Studio Built On Community.

Founded by Jess Lewis, Dragonfly Cycle + Train is where real people get real results — without the ego and intimidation of a big-box gym.

OUR STORY

No Ego. No Intimidation. Just Your People.

Dragonfly Cycle + Train started with a simple belief: fitness should feel welcoming, not intimidating. Jess Lewis built this studio on the idea that every person — regardless of fitness level, age, or background — deserves access to world-class coaching in an environment that feels like home.

Located on Van Nuys Blvd in Sherman Oaks, Dragonfly brings together indoor cycling, strength training, personal training, and the 8-Week Transformation Program under one roof. The classes are coached, not just played — instructors know your name, scale the workout to where you are, and celebrate your wins alongside you.

The community that's formed here isn't an accident. It's the result of a studio that prioritizes relationships over headcount, encouragement over competition, and consistency over intensity. Members don't just come for the workout — they come for each other.

Whether you're riding your first spin class or chasing a new personal record, Dragonfly has a spot for you. Start with 2 weeks for $40 — no commitment, just great music and real results.

WHY DRAGONFLY

Why Members Keep Showing Up.

There are plenty of fitness options in Sherman Oaks. Here's what keeps our members coming back — and bringing their friends.

Music That Moves You

Every ride is set to a carefully curated playlist. Our instructors build the set the way a DJ builds a set — intentional peaks, strategic drops. When the right song hits, you find energy you didn't know you had.

Instructors Who Know Your Name

This isn't a warehouse gym where you're just a face in a row. Our coaches know where you are in your fitness journey, what you're working toward, and when to push harder — and when to dial back.

All Levels — No Ego

Whether it's your first class or your five-hundredth, you belong in this room. No judgment, no intimidation. Regulars cheer for beginners. That's what the community built — and it stays that way.

Spin & Strength, One Community

Ride one day, lift the next — and you'll see the same faces across classes. That connection is what makes people stay.

45 Minutes — Maximum Return

Long enough to leave a real workout behind. Short enough to fit into a real schedule. No filler, no wasted time. Show up, work hard, and get on with your day feeling better than you did before.

Real Results, Real Reviews

Our reviews are written by real members in Sherman Oaks — people who showed up skeptical and stayed because it worked. Stronger, more energized, more consistent. Read what they say, then come see for yourself.
