Since chatting with Cycmode’s founder Tasha White in 2020, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the chance to bring sweat sisters to Buckhead’s buzziest boutique fitness studio. The 4,000 square foot multi-room space opened this past spring, and on Saturday, August 28th, the wait was over.
First, imagine burning calories while watching your favorite music videos on a larger-than-life screen. Then, keep scrolling to see how sweat sisters transformed their minds, bodies, and spirits as they made fitness fun on bikes that move and in an action-packed HIIT class.
The first to arrive was surprised with a PGS box, including our unreleased booty bands!

“I just wanted to mention again how much I enjoyed the time at CycMode Saturday. I loved the classes and everyone was so friendly and encouraging. Wonderful group. I look forward to future events. And thank you again for all the goodies, including my ‘first to arrive’ gifts. Can’t wait to use the booty bands!” – Nia Dozier

Cycmode instructors Kelli and Kay D. delivered a double dose of fun workouts for dozens of sweat sisters, including some popular fitness influencers you may already follow on Instagram.

When guests arrived at the high-tech group fitness studio, they selected a mat for Kelli’s HIIT workout. Popular music videos streamed across a 40-foot wide video screen as the instructor turned fitness into a sweat party.

The fun was just beginning. Guests headed downstairs for a MVR (music video ride) and were welcomed with this wall-to-wall 60-foot curved video screen highlighting the event partnership.

PGS Founder Aeshia, did a quick thank you speech and was all smiles after not seeing so many familiar faces in over a year.

In the cycling room, guests gathered on sanitized and socially distanced bikes to stay safe.
