I had a deeply disappointing and distressing experience at CycleBar, despite being a loyal customer for several months. During my most recent visit, another client mistakenly assumed my locker was hers and tampered with the combination, locking my belongings inside. CycleBar has signs clearly instructing clients not to lock the lockers—a policy I followed—so I was shocked to find myself unable to access my items. To make matters worse, I was informed that their spare key had been "stolen," and they refused to call a locksmith to help retrieve my belongings. Because this was deemed a "civil matter," I was told I had to wait until the manager agreed to unlock the locker when a new key arrived. Even though the manager acknowledged there was a tool available to open the locker, she refused to allow the receptionists—who were willing to assist—to use it, citing potential damage to the locker. I was left without access to my car keys, house keys, cellphone, and shoes for two days. I was literally stranded in socks. The manager I spoke with was unhelpful and apathetic, even going so far as to blame me for locking the locker—when it was clearly another client who had done so. One other client who witnessed the situation advocated on my behalf, as I felt completely unsupported and even ganged up on by the manager and reception staff. What I still can’t understand is how a business can value the condition of a locker more than the well-being of a loyal customer. This situation directly affected my ability to do my job, as I rely on my vehicle for transportation and my phone for essential work-related verifications. This experience has left me feeling disregarded and disrespected, and I will never be returning to CycleBar. I sincerely hope they reevaluate how they handle situations like this in the future.
